LINKS:

This section is for putting random links to websites, articles or anything else that have been useful or interesting to me:

 

 

General Websites:

www.wikipedia.org: => Number 1 website for all my learning needs. Whether it's mathematical, geographical, complex advanced science material, wikipedia has always given me the best material to start with.

www.slickdeals.net: => This is number 1 website for all your deals. However, you may not want to but anything by clicking the link from slickdeals, as you don't make any cashback from here. There are cashback websites that give you cash for buying things on internet, so use those for making money. Two reliable ones that I use are topcashback.com and rakuten.com

www.doctorofcredit.com => This is another very good website for finding any deal that makes you money. It's different than slickdeals, in that it puts all deals (financial, credit cards, cashback websites, etc) that are not necessarily sponsored. You will never find these kind of deals on slickdeals unless they are sponsored. The comments on this site also help on lot, in helping you decide if you should pursue a deal or not.

www.stallman.org => This is the site of Richard M Stallman (rms), who started the open source revolution (Open Source Foundation and GNU project). "Basic human freedom" is the cornerstone of his views.

 

 

Educational sites:

3blue1brown: I would have never known about this site, had I not run into it for an AI video search. It's a channel+website started by a Stanford guy named Grant Sanderson. Absolutely amazing !! If you can find your topic on his video, you don't need to watch any other video for that topic, that's how good they are. Lots of topic on Maths, AI, Crypto, etc. Not even sure how can 1 person have absolute expertise in such unrelated fields. Learning a lot:
