For non chileans, in the 'preguntas frecuentes' page, could you use CLP$ to distinguish it clearly from US$?


Thanks for noticing!

Yes, we use $ for peso and US$ for dollars because that's what our current customers would expect. We might have to localize the page once we grow.

I feel putting CLP$ would be confusing for them now!


"$" is default for CLP here and nobody ever uses "CL$".

As far as I know, it's the same for other LatAm countries because "$" originates from the coat of arms of the Spanish Empire:

Didn't notice it was in CLP until I read your comment. :(

Also this is available for Chile only? I'm in Bolivia, will be able to invest?

The site needs communication work.


We launched Chile in March 2018, we plan to reach some milestones first and then move to tackle the next countries. About communication work, sure, we are editing our FAQ just now, so thanks for your feedback. If you find anything else that needs clarification please let us know!

Everything in #3 in that link is silly. In now way can the blockchain be used to prevent music piracy.


Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for.




I agree, I watched his lectures when trying to teach myself real analysis. He also has a website with lots of useful info including links to the videos organized by lecture number/subject and some other interesting links

I literally start to love mathematics with him. Before watching his lectures I always afraid of mathematics, but watching his Real Analysis class, developed a new sense in me about mathematics. From that point I always liked mathematics.


Francis Su is a great person. I've had the privilege of meeting him and having a couple of quality conversations with him. He is (or at least used to be) a regular part of the faculty at the MathPath camp, a summer camp for 11-14 year old kids. My daughter absolutely loved that camp, and attended for three years. Su taught some very fun sessions there that my daughter (now college freshman) still talks about. (BTW I highly recommend the camp.)

I found it amusing that the article referred to Harvey Mudd as a "liberal arts" college. I think of it as a butt-kicking engineering school.


Thanks for the link! I'm going to try to set aside some time to watch these lectures in the future. I've always wanted to learn more math in my spare time, but I've been unsure how to approach it outside of a classroom.


Mathematical Physics by Robert Geroch was recommended on the haskell subreddit a while ago: https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Physics-Chicago-Lectures...




Thank you. I found it odd the article would hype this piece like this, quote an entire paragraph and mention the Cormac McCrarthy connection and not give a link. News on the internets business as usual I guess.
