Coursera S-1 IPO 5 years ago

I hope you’re right and Khan Academy won’t ever be the same as Coursera, I hope they will remain free and can grow into becoming better than Coursera, perhaps educators on Coursera will start sharing their courses for free on Khan Academy.

Coursera S-1 IPO 5 years ago

I'll be taking the other side of your trade and shorting the stock, every time I win I'll donate the cash to educational nonprofits.

Coursera S-1 IPO 5 years ago

People underestimate the value of free.

There are millions of kids and people of all ages going to extremes to access the internet to learn new stuff.

I met a kid in a remote village who would cycle for miles every weekend they were not working to seat in a public library to learn on the internet, for that kid a course costing 1 penny would be too expensive and no one in the family had a credit card to begin with.

Sal Khan deserves all the praise and more, Khan Academy is now in multiple languages, his videos are literally changing people’s lives.

MIT’s edX used to be free, they are now monetising the courses and will withdraw access after their self imposed artificial course time has run out if you don’t pay them, this also creates a second class of students, the ones with money get special privileges and get graded and the poor ones don’t and offering ‘financial aid’ doesn’t work if you really want to reach far and wide, how many will close the site when they see it costs thousands of dollars for a course? In a sense edX is way more disappointing than Coursera.

But just like I stopped recommending Coursera when they started restricting access to their courses I look forward to shorting their stock when they go public and donating the profits to educational nonprofits.

You will be surprised to find most of what you describe is already in place in many forms.

Reach out to your local political party (hierarchical network designed to raise funds), the one most aligned to your values as that’s were you’ll meet a bunch of people, most over 50s that have been working to solve the exact problems you listed and they will be members of many other local groups with no party links.

They will have working groups and forums that meet regularly with people that have been campaigning and working for the last 20 to 70 years with your local community, on the ground, trying to solve racism, sexism, sustainability, education, local economy, corruption, inequality, poverty, hunger, climate change, civil rights...you name it.

The best part is that you can avoid 100% the politics if you so wish as they are most likely desperate for (younger) people that will actually get any work done, you’ll be so busy solving real world issues or implementing the structural changes you talk about that you won’t have time for politics.

Speaking from experience.

You did good by publishing this. I've seen that you're updating your blog post based on what people are saying here, you don't have to do that, you don't have to answer to people attacking you on a forum.

What you have exposed has the potential to affect a large number of Google users and unfortunately the community has chosen to attack you over attacking Google.

Which could say a lot about the state of the community. So thanks again for bringing this vulnerability to our attention.

Record actual sessions (mouse movement, clicks, typing)

I gasped when I realised I can actually capture all form submissions and send them to my own email.

How many bad actors have been doing the same and for how long? This doesn't sound like something Google should just brush under the carpet and expect no one else is doing it. Although I wish the author had reached out to Google first to see how they would have handled it, I thank him for publishing it.

The reason Thiel latched onto Facebook with such alacrity was that he saw in it for the first time a business that was Girardian to its core: built on people’s deep need to copy. ‘Facebook first spread by word of mouth, and it’s about word of mouth, so it’s doubly mimetic,’ Thiel said. ‘Social media proved to be more important than it looked, because it’s about our natures.’ We are keen to be seen as we want to be seen, and Facebook is the most popular tool humanity has ever had with which to do that.

Interview with Petra Haandrikman, team leader of the Dutch police unit that infiltrated Hansa.

K: So you made a copy of the Hansa servers?

H: We gained physical access to the machines in Lithuania, and were able to set up some clustering between the [Hansa] database servers in Lithuania and servers we were running in our country. With that, we were able to get a real time copy of the Hansa database, and then copy over the Web site code itself.

anyone interested in this subject also look for 'Gerasimov Doctrine' for a thrilling read.

Are you referring to Mark Galeotti? I'd like to read an analysis written by a Russian scholar on this, would you have any sources?

How to make such help good for both sides?

Convert the value of your service and reinvest it back into the nonprofit as unrestricted funds. Nonprofits are usually in need of unrestricted funds.

Agree that you can start raising your prices. If you know someone that does exactly what you do, and you trust the quality of the work, as a first step, you could start passing work to a second person, then add a third, things going well, rent some desk space, add fourth person, rent a small office...or work remotely and keep the overhead down. Comes down to how you want to spend your time.
