Thanks, no traffic site doesn't exist yet. Just trying to wrap my head around what's out there.

I'd imagine traffic to be really low, say < 5000 impressions per month, and in the academic/niche space.

Do you think Amazon affiliate links, say to books the site's visitors might be interested in, would be a better bet?

Thanks, I see they're related to BuySellAds. Do you know a minimum number of monthly impressions required to join Carbon as a Publisher?

Does anyone have experience with Carbon or BuySellAds they can share?

This is great - I've been looking for a good series to have on hand when I want to dive deeper into a math field on an as-needed basis. For example, the Linear Algebra one could be really useful if I decide to get deeper into any Machine Learning stuff - http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4612-1670-4

It's possible to do things with statistics/ML even without having the greatest grasp on linear algebra, but it sure would help to have a firmer foundation. Thanks!

Although I have not read that book, for linear algebea I would highly recommend Gilbert Strang's book. It's one of the few textbooks for which I would pay full price, even today. Also, his lectures are available on youtube from MIT, and he's quite good.

If you read German, his "Lineare Algebra" was published by Springer in 2003:

Seems the only version of this book on Springer is in German :(

I think this is really great. How often do we as a society take the voices of prisoners seriously? It's kind of interesting to see a "view from below." Very cool work.

Do you expect people should like prison? Prison would not be much of a deterrent if it didn't get 1 star from just about everyone in terms of the experience. In terms of dealing with actual abuse of prisoners, the courts are a far more robust system for dealing with complaints.

The US has a brutal prison system where prison rape and sexual assault is routine.

The US also has a huge prison population and recidivism is high, so the brutality of the system doesn't seem to work much as a deterrent.

How do yelp reviews address this problem?

that's pretty cool, for avatars any randomization process for generating images should work fine like what gravatar does (hashing off the email address i think)
