Study math for long enough and you will likely have cursed Pythagoras’s name, or said “praise be to Pythagoras” if you’re a bit of a fan of triangles.
But while Pythagoras was an important historical figure in the development of mathematics, he did not figure out the equation most associated with him (a2 + b2 = c2). In fact, there is an ancient Babylonian tablet (by the catchy name of IM 67118) which uses the Pythagorean theorem to solve the length of a diagonal inside a rectangle. The tablet, likely used for teaching, dates from 1770 BCE – centuries before Pythagoras was born in around 570 BCE.
Clearly I do.
In that case I don’t follow the standard of stealing content when I post something.
Why is everyone telling me to relax? I WILL NOT RELAX!!1!one! /s
It’s not stealing, it’s putting some of the info in the post. Most people aren’t going to actually read the article, so for those people, posting some/all of the body of the article gets them to actually read what was posted.
I know you put the sarcasm tag on there, but this is a weird fucking hill to die on, pal.
I do choose weird hills to fight on, don’t I?
Let me try this another way, this time with less sarcasm.
Laziness
ooooh that’s a bingo!
I’m sorry, I promised no more sarcasm.
Now I don’t have a problem with laziness, but when someone’s laziness becomes disrespectful and rips people off, then I believe that we should try to do better. Or at least not expose our instance of choice to IPR liabilities.
Maybe I’m being a pedant. That we can argue, and I’ll give you a head start by agreeing with you. But I refuse to believe that I’m also wrong.
Eh, most of the entities that get fucked by posting the article in the text body, I couldn’t give two shits about. Also no one is getting ad revenue off me, ads can be an attack vector for malicious code, they’re also annoying. I agree you’re being a pedant, that’s what I like about you. I do think you’re wrong though. That said, I feel like we can agree to disagree, and leave it at that.
