I don't think it does, since you can't sell individual Hearthstone cards for money or trade them between accounts. It's still an ethically questionable business model imo, but it's…

I've generally felt the same way, but it seems that in the last couple of years the line has become blurred. For example, if I have a smartphone that is always connected to the int…

I had no idea about the details of Tricare, that's pretty interesting. I suppose it makes sense for a government to be very invested in the healthcare of its armed forces.I was thi…

That's an interesting definition of socialism; I didn't intend it in that way. Open source seems "socialist" to me by virtue of the pretty much the same attributes that you're (I t…

On one hand it's always cool to see increased adoption of open source, but it strikes me as more than a little subversive for the DoD to adopt an open source methodology. I can't h…

This was my thought as well, but for somewhat different reasons. I think Musk does fit this modern definition of libertarian -- a lack of faith in government progress is a necessar…

Exposing personal information like that, while maybe not illegal (I don't have the qualifications to say), is something I definitely see as unethical; at least if an opt-out option…

Awesome write-up!! I had never heard of linear calculus before, is that an extension of linear algebra or a distinct field?

It looks like this site got hugged to death, does anyone have a mirror link?

Looks awesome! I've been using 1password, are there any big advantages that KeePass has over it?

They're all just a tad limited in scope. I guess it makes sense since I would think TC's primary demographic is technical people (I can't back this up though, may not be accurate).…

I've been looking for alternatives to Evernote for a long time now, but haven't found a viable one. Thanks for making this, I'll definitely check it out!

I think disrupting the core components of our society that decrease and inhibit growth of wealth for specific groups of people would be the most effective way to increase prosperit…

I was thinking the same thing, it almost looks a little too good to be true -- although it does kinda make sense given the focus on GPU-based clusters. I wonder how this compares t…

> For them, a larger iPad with a keyboard is all they need for their personal work (email, Googling, etc), and the huge screen & 4 speakers are icing on the cake for watching Netfl…

Yeah, your last suggestion was what I was leaning towards. Because of the ubiquity of linear algebra, though, this seems like as good a time as any to start getting a good handle o…

Awesome, thanks for the pdf!

How accessible is a course like this with no prior knowledge of linear algebra? I know it's listed in the pre-reqs, but with a good head for math and lots of calc, is it something …
