> But I'd never put it on a resume because that would imply mastery of the subject

Would it though? I think it at least demonstrates interest and a sufficient level of involvement to finish the course. I wouldn't assume it implied mastery, but I wouldn't assume that for college degrees either (even if they are better than MOOCs at present).
Unfortunately, this case carries no implications for arbitrary search and seizure (in many cases with no return of hardware and no recourse) of computers on arrival to the US. That has been the major point of controversy, vide Jacob Appelbaum.

This is about IP. Not about a limited resource like food. And is very easy to understand economically: is the same reason why in Finland and other countries traffic tickets amounts are based on the income of the driver, following the same logic costs of drugs should be tied to the ability of a country to pay them.

TL;DR you can't pretend asking $1.000 to an American is the same as asking $1.000 from a Nigerian
It's not, though.

online.net will sell you an x64 server for as low as 6e/m, and with scaleway you can get an ARM server with a significantly better storage story for 10e/m.

There are a myriad of low-cost dedicated server providers in this price range that are not selling SD cards and other consumer hardware.

In the end, patients either get the drugs or they don't.

If pharmas set a certain pricing, the patients+insurers/Medicare feel the effect of that pricing, and respond accordingly. Patients have no choice but to take the price, and demand that insurers provide coverage for all cancer drugs. Insurers then spread the costs across their pool of insurees, resulting in skyrocketing premiums.

Did you know that Medicare isn't allowed to negotiate the prices of drugs, as part of regulatory concessions to pharma companies made in 2003?[1] What happens when Medicare (unlike other insurers) is forced to always pay what drug companies demand?

Further, in the case of Gleevec, the basic drug molecule was discovered by a university researcher, who went to Novartis to get it to invest in trials. So the costs aren't even fully borne by Novartis.

The system is broken and some possible solutions (proposed by researchers including those who discovered the drugs) should be evaluated. But strong lobbying from pharma is hard to get around.

[1] ...the 2003 Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act contains legislation that forbids Medicare from negotiating drug prices. These policies have created an opportunity for drug companies, rendering them the sole decision makers on the price of cancer drugs. http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196%2815...

Yeah the author seems to be thinking about the DOM from the server side, where the end point of all rendering calls is a string that gets sent to the client. This misses out on baaasically everything that sets React apart from all the template-based frameworks out there.
Underlying markets _are never stable_. The main stabilizing force in the world are institutions of power and violence, such as army (especially American), police, jails etc. Markets already rely heavily on governments for their existence. You got Black Swan completely wrong, if you think that Taleb is advocating for laissez-faire, he is actually big fan of slow and dull, tightly controlled systems ("antifragile").

Really, I would do this un-safe stuff in Virtual Machines. Use secure setup for work and other.

Of course it is better to be secure, but that's not logically possible. Programmers make mistakes, it happens, you computer could be hacked, it happeneds.

Can I at least have a choice to be functional though unsafe? The only way right now is either you have a dedicated computer, or run virtual machines. Mozilla's move seemed more like an personal attack on Adobe than doing something good for the user. They could have make this a choice, have a setting to unlock.. etc. which they didn't do.

Then I could have run unsafed version in VM and block flash everywhere else. At least I'd be functional..

You can say you don't like working with someone, but if you publicly, forcefully, vitriolically express your hatred for working with not just one person, but a class of people in your workplace typified by one person, and your employer doesn't share your distaste for having those people in the workplace, you shouldn't be surprised if your employer resolves the incompatibility you've exposed to them by assuring you don't have to work with them any more.

Because of the amount of data.

Being in public has never before meant that everything you did in public was stored in a format that will eventually be mined which private and public companies can get access to.

If you don't see the problem with this, wait til the mining software can detect homosexuals and is deployed in a country where you can be killed for being such.

"But I have nothing to hide." Maybe you do, maybe you don't. Even if you are good and the government is good right now, that still doesn't make you safe in the future. And it is quite clear there are already bad actors in the government. Perhaps you are the one about to expose another child abuse scandal... do you want the guy you are about to expose to have access to everything you've ever done in public, because I'm sure they can find a few minor crimes that they can then twist to silence you. Even if you are Jesus incarnate and have behaved perfectly while in public, they can still just edit it some misbehavior to silence you.

The problem is that using that system for financing education would directly promote existing class privilege. Children from wealthier families would have more opportunities for education than children from poorer families to an even greater extent than they already do.

Personally, I would prefer a system that lessens the effects of class privilege rather than one that increases the effects of class privilege.
> The credibility of a college education in the professional world can't be replaced as easily.

I think it depends on the industry. In software development I stopped even looking at the education of the person applying because I've never found any meaningful correlation between schooling and the capabilities of a developer. In fact at times I found a reverse correlation where the higher the degree the less able they were to code so I try to not even look at all to prevent as much bias as possible in either direction.

I have no knowledge whatsoever about this matter. That being said, I went seven years without running an antivirus and zero apparent harm was done to me. It could be that the viruses just did a good job of hiding themselves, but whatever (somehow I doubt it).

Now I live at a place whose internet requires me to have an antivirus installed. It's super annoying--Avira on Mac. It keeps popping up and telling me it's keeping me safe and I keep thinking "the gall of these people..."

(One might suggest simply disabling certain annoying features, but my God, university internet.)
When you actually look at the numbers, rather than simply believing the graphic, you will find that your data proves your opponent correct.

The income levels that fell during the studied period:

15,000-24,999

25,000-34,999

35,000-49,999

50,000-74,999

75,000-99,999

Income levels that grew:

100,000-100,000+

100k + increased by 6%

75k-99k decreased by 1.1%

50k-74k decreased by 3.1%

But sure, you could make up your own categories for the data to make 75,000+ look like it went up, when in reality it was only 100,000+ that showed an increase.

The fact is that the middle class is shrinking, and wages are stagnant or falling.

I encourage you to actually check the sources linked in articles - when you find different categories of data in the article than the study, its likely something is being misrepresented.

>So the situation in some cases is far worse already."

So, that's the thing, in some ways it's worse. It has more detail, it's voluntary and less intrusive. The one thing which is quite different is it's not a system to control people, by control I mean controlling as in Orwell's vision.

And, for the most part, with few sheepish objections, people are willing to trade in their privacy in exchange for services rendered. People in practice value free resources and services over privacy, else we would have seen a system of micropaymets or economic alternative take root but it has not.

At some point people may change their minds and may want to hold on to their privacy and begin paying for services, maybe, but for most people that is not the case at this time.

The major differences are that it can move from one domain of expertise to another without changing any code, it's a unique method (not a neural network -- but we'll elaborate more on this in the next release), and perhaps most importantly, it can run on a Raspberry Pi (~12MB memory usage).

There are applications that make sense to sell in the Mac App Store, a programing environment isn't one of them.
I'd bet that fewer than 5% of Apple customers want a general-purpose computer, and it hasn't deviated much from that over time. Apple has always locked down their hardware and software relative to their competitors. The "it just works" philosophy isn't free, and if it seems like it's getting more locked down, it might have something to do with Apple trying to maintain its profits in the face of increasing competition.

The "household-appliance" moniker is a red herring though. Just because they supply an App Store doesn't mean you have to use it, and it doesn't mean you can't do amazing things with it. Are we really comparing something that can help educate, research, run a business, entertain, etc. with a dishwasher or TV?
I'm dealing with this right now. A cop wrote me a ticket for not having proof of insurance when it isn't a law in my state to carry it. DMV.org even says LEOs have access to a database where they can look up insurance.

Basically you're modifying a string that consists of:

IP Address:Port:Virtual Host

For example:

172.16.1.1:80:www.example.com

The raw values reside in an XML config file called "applicationHost.config" which replaces the old school and rather opaque IIS6 metabase.

Admittedly that example is a bit old school, there's better commandlets available now that wrap having to manipulate these string values directly. e.g. the New-WebBinding and Set-WebBinding examples shown in sibling comments in this sub-thread.

A site config looks like:

<site name="MyWebSite" id="3" serverAutoStart="true">
<application path="/" applicationPool="MyWebSite">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="D:\websites\mywebsite\www" />
</application>
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="172.16.1.1:80:example.com" />
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="172.16.1.1:80:www.example.com" />
<binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="172.16.1.:443:" />
</bindings>
</site>

None of this is particularly mysterious, and the documentation is pretty good.

It depends on what you're learning.

I wouldn't want to waste my time on a class that just teaches you how to use Hadoop. On the other hand, there are some topics that I'd have a much harder time believing can be treated well outside a classroom setting. Classes that deal with softer skills such as project management strategy or research design really seem to benefit quite a bit from the group learning environment. You could certainly learn them other ways, but probably more slowly. If you're trying to build a career there's an opportunity cost there.

I think it comes down to the same reason algorithm papers use psuedo code rather than a particular language - the point is to represent the main idea clearly, rather than bog down the reader in all the accounting and syntax of a particular language.

Details about a particular variable's type, or a languages semantics don't tell me anything about (in this case) chebyshev or taylor functions, but to follow the code I'd have to internalize the interactions of those things, along with the actual math for it all to make sense.

Consider it an abstraction layer for learning. Just like when dealing with files on disk I use open(), read(), etc rather than work in my fs + hdd controller.

Pointing out you're replacing all his achievements with the fact that he was a totalitarian. This ignores a whole host of subtly.

If I were you I'd put it on a resume. Just be honest that you a MOOC course at Stanford etc.. When I'm looking at that resume I wouldn't necessarily think this is a guy who can lead a Machine Learning team. But it does tell some things I'm very interested in as an interviewer.

1. It shows the resume owner is a self-motivated autodidact which I think are some the most important skills a developer can possess.

2. It gives a great talking point for the interview. One of the ways an interviewer can gauge an individuals intelligence and communication skills is how well they can describe what they learned in a class.

"It is true that Kim’s laptop was seized at the border – in this case, LAX – but it was not even opened, much less searched, there. It was transported approximately 150 miles to San Diego, it was retained for a limited period of time, and eventually, the laptop was returned."
