Honestly, I would consider a move from X salary in the midwest to X+Y salary in the Bay Area/NYC/Seattle or any other tier 1 city an upgrade even if the salaries may end up being almost the same adjusted for cost of living.

That's just my personal view though. I like being in a major city (SF). It's awesome being around an abundance of opportunity though there are many tradeoffs to living here. If I were to move, I'd probably go to another tier 1 city like New York or Seattle for a change of pace.

I'm sure there are many who feel the same way.

I'm not debating that at all. I'm just arguing that someone trying to avoid a foreign law that (at least debatably) does not apply in their country is by no means an admission of any sort of shady intentions, but is in fact simply common and sound business practice.

As far as I remember, edX used to follow this 'pay-what-you-like' strategy for honor-code certificate, along with fixed pricing for verified certificate.
I think this is part of the new changes as well. I was dealing with a rejection a few days ago because of the new IPv6-only restriction and someone from App Store Review actually called me and we discussed and resolved the issue over the phone. After only ever communicating with them via contact forms and automated responses, I was in disbelief. Speaking to a real person from App Store Review was so absurd in my mind that it may as well have been God calling to discuss my prayers.
I guess it makes the certificate itself seem more valuable as a means of expressing that you accomplished something. My view of edX is biased though by how awesome CS50 is, it feels more like a movement than a class.

Yup. Not done off-shore. Just using illegal immigrants. That shouldn't surprise anyone. As a businessman he would make money and cut corners any way he could and he has been proud of that throughout his campaign. I'm sure he will change and be more presidential after elected.

'Sober' comes from 'ebrius', i.e. drunk. So certainly it means the opposite of drunk, something every Canadian who has heard stories about our founding prime minister will appreciate.

Only what they are willing to risk their lives for and die, could ever be important.
A good friend of mine who works at Coursera attributes their descent to the brain drain they've had over the past year.

Hi graycat,

I'm extremely interested in what you have to say on the subject. Where can I drop you a line?
In Israel "sensitive installations" don't have Street View around them. For example, try searching for "Mahane Rabin (HaKirya)" and you'll see that the surrounding roads do no have Street View enabled.
To me, that is sufficient evidence that "security concerns" are not the real reason for the ban.
It is truly sad to see Coursera getting greedier by the day. I can honestly say this website changed my life, I was living in a third world country and still in high school when I enrolled in Andrew Ng's machine learning class and thanks to that MOOC I was able to get a machine learning job building recommender systems for a Canadian company straight out of high school. There are plenty of amazing MOOCs that Coursera has completely removed from the website or are only available for people who want to pay upfront. Please don't be like Udacity Coursera.

BTW you have until June 30 to download your courses.
I think this is plain stupid. We had an amateur astronomer in our apartment, who, I am assuming now, bought his telescope in India. This is around the same time you've mentioned ~ 2000ish. If their sale here is not prohibited, it makes no sense for customs to seize it.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I do hope you'll keep in mind the ominous aspect your product draws on. I wish you and your team all the best, but be careful where you go with this please.

Also my concern isn't about habits directly, more that you're selling the manipulation of those habits in an automated, generalisable way.
It probably depends on what the product or service is, and how it's sold. Coursera already provides some courses for free, and even those attract some high maintenance types from what I've seen in the forums. Does providing a pay-what-you-want option increase the number of nasties or the degree of nastiness, for example, inviting legal risks? I don't really know. But I feel Coursera should atleast experiment and gather the data before deciding, instead of missing out on all that data.

Leanpub and Gumroad are two services that follow this strategy. I don't know if they are successful ventures, but I notice they have maintained this pricing strategy since their inception and never changed or stopped it.

Leanpub says "...the pattern we have seen with multiple books, about a third of people will pay the suggested price, a third will pay the minimum price and a third will pay somewhere in between. Finally, the odd person will pay more than the suggested price" [1]. Some anecdotal experiences of individual authors [2],[3],[4] support it.

I don't know why we want so hard to bring these jobs back (the same way we always try to keep the metallurgic industry in Europe).

These jobs are becoming obsolete, and delocalizing to countries with lower labor costs is only a step before factories become fully automated (and some companies are reshoring because robots are becoming cheaper than outshore workers). The workers here that are left with no job and no marketable skills should be manifesting for an UMI instead of asking to politics & companies to keep the factories here.

> async channels are special cases of sync channels

You got it the other way around - synchronous is a special case of asynchronous, because any synchronous result or stream can be processed asynchronously, but for having guaranteed synchronous results you're adding restrictions. And going the other way, from async to sync is not possible without blocking threads, which is an error prone, platform specific hack. Take the possibility of blocking threads away and you'll notice the true nature of these models.
That's an unreasonably literal interpretation that would suggest that, say, 'worry' is about being strangled. Words are not defined entirely and only by their original roots and this is acknowledged by dictionaries. Webster:

"marked by sedate or gravely or earnestly thoughtful character or demeanor"

Or if you want to go all out, the OED

"Guided by sound reason; sane, rational [...] Of the mind, discourse, etc.
1651 Hobbes Leviath. i. viii. 36 If some man in Bedlam should entertaine you with sober discourse. [...]"

Hobbes likely didn't mean to say that a man confined in Bedlam was permanently drunk nor was John A. Macdonald referring to his personal preference in liquid refreshments.

This is a good article but the author missed the broader CONSUMER/dev consumer mission of Ubuntu. It's sole purpose and number one priority is Usability first followed and shaped by quick deployment as number two. Ultra top tier hardened Security isn't in the top mix. Easy answer. Having said this I'm glad someone is taking a hammer and chisel to it so that it can be a better platform. The same thing can be said of Windows or Mac. Consumer facing off the self platforms simply weren't designed for hardened security.

indeed, and I am sure there is a percentage of people that will likely pay for a certificate that was not paying before.

It's not a bad move, and it's totally legit, _but_ it hints at a stronger effort to get money.

Regarding the "movement" thing, I had the same feeling with my first 3 large MOOC (AI which begat udacity, ML & DBs which begat coursera).

What we do that is different than others is examine each course we list. We then classify it by assigning it a subject and number that roughly reflects what level it would be at a US university .
Is it a first year 101 course then say for intro to micro economics it is Econ 101.
This is incredibly time consuming but we think it enables us to give users results that are more informative and they can see like choices clustered together.

The other major benefit is we can offer the CourseBuffet Degree Paths (https://www.coursebuffet.com/degree) that replicated a Bachelor's degree using free MOOCs. These paths are platform independent so one is not locked in to Coursera, edX, etc. We also now have Minors that replicate academic minors for Econ and Philosophy.

I don't understand why marginal cost going down causes copyright to make less sense; I'd argue it now makes more sense, as creators can more easily lose out.

Copyright is intended to incentivize people to create things by giving them a limited monopoly on the ability to copy/distribute it. I write a book, no one else can print and sell copies without my permission. Thus I have a chance to make some money off it. If I write a book and anyone can sell it, I'm less likely to make money off it.

If that argument was true in 1800 when some other guy had to physically print out my book, why is it somehow not true today when you can upload a torrent of it?

(I do think current copyright terms are absolutely absurd. If they were 10 years or renewable with fees or anything else that would solve 95% of the problems.)
What factors should I consider when choosing a predictive model technique?
I had been using such platforms (coursera, edX) since their inception, and they were delightfully helpful to me. They were free of cost at that time and I really appreciated that as a student.

I feel a more apt pricing strategy would be to provide free/low-cost yearly access to students and a free basic course + paid advanced courses to non-students.

People are reading a bit too much into the "Intel killing Goldmount" news, assuming that killing off all publically announced SoCs means Intel are abandoning the SoC market.

In reality, Intel is killing Atom, because Skylake has more or less spec'd it out of existence. Atom was an attempt to do x86 with a low power, smartphone/tablet budget, and it sacrificed a lot of performance in order to fit into that budget. The result is a 2.5w Airmont chip.

Intel have also been focusing on low power with their Sandybridge/Haswell/Skylake Core line. And the result is a 3.5w Skylake chip, that has over twice the performance of the Airmont chip. 3.5w is still a little large for a phone but it's small enough for a tablet. In the next generation or two, intel will shrink the Core architecture down to something which fits in the 2.5w power budget for a smartphone.

Basically, Intel are killing Atom because it's no longer better than Core in any way. They will regroup and launch new SoCs in the future.
Ok, you can't setup an OSX VM on Windows but don't ignore the cost of that computer you are developing Windows software on.

It does not access the network though.
It has to be configured to enable Intel AMT to do that, and that is if the firmware edition that has the code is installed (which I don't think is always the case). It is useful in enterprises that want remote management. It probably uses DHCP by default.
This is so addictive...
The article linked in submission isn't purely about off-shoring; it compares different level of an AmeriPhone: assembled here, parts from here, and source materials from here, detailing cost and practicality along the way.

I seriously doubt that "assembled in America by illegal immigrants" would be in the spirit of Trump's request of Apple, even though that's how he attained the wealth to put himself in the position to make that request.
If you wanted to program for Windows you still had to buy a computer. You could argue that you could get a Windows computer cheaper than a Mac but in the long run that difference is insignificant when you're spending many years with the same hardware.

I'm still programming iOS apps on a 2012 Macbook Pro because I'm not rich. Performance is still pretty good!

Android Studio runs on a lot of hardware but it's slow unless you have good hardware, which costs money.
