Re: Can Online Education Help Refugees Earn Degrees?

Daniël W. Crompton (webhat) — Fri, 09 Oct 2015 09:54:32 -0000

This article seems to assume that the level of education in the countries that these refugees fleeing is low. There are many wealthy well-educated Syrians fleeing the country, quite a few are university educated. Our first thought was to see if we could give these educated refugees a way to earn an income using the skills they already possess by teaching.

For the most part that might be true, and not for the for-profit I work for Oplerno.

The kind of blanket marketing statement that nothing is changing in higher education is wrong, and one can not argue that all institutes are evolving at the same rate or even in the same direction. We can hardly compare MIT or Stanford's level of innovation to a local underfunded community college.

I've heard some arguments that this is not just technologically, some colleges are pedagogically devolving by replacing well trained and educated tenured faculty with contingent faculty.

It's to ensure that you are engaged. In list building you often allow people to sign up for lists multiple times to ensure you have really engaged people on your list.

I think they are confusing this with product/market fit, and even then I don't think it's true.

The colon initializes a hash:

root: "blah" is the same as:
:root => "blah"
{ root: "blah" }
{ :root => "blah" }

Thanks for the help @Justin Weiss and @Michał Matyas, I discovered it's a bug with my setup.

I probably I wasn't clear, and it's possibly a bug on my end. However, I don't get a directory listing I get an empty file.

For some reason vim is just opening the directory of the gem rather than the gem files, I don't get a directory listing until I reopen the directory. Is this a bundle bug?

Other than that, great article!

Re: When Your Online Course Is Put Up for Adoption

Daniël W. Crompton (webhat) — Tue, 19 May 2015 16:11:44 -0000

We tell our instructors that they don't own the course material that they taught at another school so can't take it with them. A lot of work goes into creating these courses from scratch, and when they do they wholly own all the material they created and teach.

I like the idea and these numbers are a little incomplete, the differences are minor and are touted as big differences. There are also no time zones, is it CET, EST, PST, or something else?

And the data that might actually be useful, such as the percentage of conversions on each day is not shown.

Doordat de Nederlandse angel niet te koop staan betekend het dat de angel via je eigen netwerk moet komen, je kun je immers niet bij "vreemde" angels aankloppen. Dat is in mijn ervaring doorgaans beter voor de relatie met een angel.

Transparanties is overigens geen slechte zaak.

Re: The World’s Email Encryption Software Relies on One Guy, Who is Going Broke

In Adam Smith's time it was still quite common to brew beer at home, although not as common as 200 years earlier.

The baker, who had an oven, would bake the bread of all people in the neighourhood. People would bring their bread to be baked communally.

In the UK there were two kinds of slaughter-houses, private and public, which belonged to public authorities. In the public anybody could slaughter their own animals.

The recipes weren't secret, and anybody could do it for themselves and did.

In Adam Smith's time guilds were already falling out of favour, in The Wealth of Nations he himself was extremely critical of the guilds. And the year after he died guilds were abolished in France.

Do you mean to say you couldn't bake bread or slaughter animals at home without permission from the guild?

I don't disagree with you, I am a developer and almost all my software is free and open source. I get paid good money for using the software, as the value is not in the software it's in the business and data that the users add, such as storing their exam results, their course content, or their course offering.

If Facebook or Google were to open source their software, besides from some people running their own micro-Facebook or Google and public outcry about privacy, I doubt it would loose much money as the value is not in the software it's in the way Facebook or Google leverage the software and the data.

His issues stem not from him giving the source away for free, his issue stems from not not finding a sustainable business model which pays for him to give his software away for free.
