Great, but unless I see a 'show solution steps' option for the trickier solutions, no, it really ain't ready to compete with Mathematica for the classroom.

Next on hacker news: Korean butcher worried about possible ban on beating dogs before slaughter, because without the beating the meat tastes worse.

Misleading headline. Should be 'What I learned from losing $200M of other people's money'. The answer is, of course, nothing.

Is this a surprise to anyone? Capitalism is productive for the society in a strong democratic environment. When capitalist economy unites with authoritarian regimes, you get Godwin…

As a user, I could not care less about a website that is so incompetently written, that it doesn't degrade gracefully enough when accessed with javascript is disabled. If someone c…

Why would advertisers be so incredibly aggressive as to pollute anything they can with spam is the real issue here.

The premise is quite broken. The cold war was 'cold' because the conflicts were small and localized. Two sides exchanging ICBMs would be a global thermonuKular war, not a cold one.…

The real pirates are the hordes of lawyers with the WIPO, IFPI and the like, as well as their national backers, who have subverted the public contract on copyright and related mono…

I've been using OSM for ages on Android for navigation and I'm very happy about it. What it really needs is an easy way to be used as a maps replacement. Something akin the openpdr…

I have rarely seen any content that is "sold". Even if you look at your drm-free vinyl record, it tends to say that you're sold the plastic, but the content is only licensed to you…

Finally a modicum of reality on HN.

That's too bad. Instead of talking to Apple about licensing the reality distortion field generator, he should have been talking to Google about licensing their self-drive software.…
