Really? The math content on Quora is generally top notch. It depends on who answers the question of course, but there are many high quality writers on Quora with deep understandings of mathematics.


Agreed. Besides HN, and Reddit for occasionally indulging my darker political side, Quora is the only social content I regularly consume. Besides math, there's also some excellent writers on machine learning and computer science.


How does Quora works? I regularly see very interesting answers there. While it looks like SO clone, its content is different. Do they pay for good answers? Or they just happen to have bright people in their community?


The difference seems to be in the culture of the community, which they've done a good job of cultivating from day 1.

Quality is valued, and so are expert opinions. I doubt they pay anybody.


Any questions/answers in particular you would recommend reading?


No particular answers (honestly there are so many good ones), but here are two writers off the top of my head I used to read many years ago:
