Thanks for checking in and the quick responses!

Yeah, I selected the 'show past courses' checkbox and selected a course that was over a year ago. If you are looking for specific data points for the bug, it was the Coursera "Machine Learning" class.

Love it. However, is there a way to add past courses to my "records"? When I try to add the past iteration of a course to my wall, it adds the next iteration.

> they're profitable, unlike Amazon

Amazon has been profitable for many years now. YCharts showing profitability by quarter: http://j.mp/13zx97Z for the last 5 years.

Also, note that Amazon's initial business plan was such that it would not turn profitable for quite a few years, instead focusing on sales-growth. IIRC, they turned profitable around 2002.

Sublime Text 3 is still lightweight, fast and has awesome "jump to definition".

Mostly everything from Flipkart (and for that matter, it appears, from Amazon) can be bought cash-on-delivery.

I have ABP installed (Chrome + Mac). Still getting the login/signup/paywall. This is what I did: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5814168

+ Go to the single page URL: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/05/29/the_bomb_di...

+ Open up the JS console

+ $("#TB_window").remove()

+ $("#TB_overlay").remove()

Done!

> How will you guarantee academic honesty?

> All exams are proctored using national proctoring standards. We have access to 4,500 physical proctoring facilities and are working with online proctoring institutions.

Does this mean it won't be available outside the US ("national proctoring standards")?

Or does this mean appearing at prometric-style centers for the tests? I for one do not love taking tests in the alien environment of such centers (especially computer-science related tests), from my experience with various certifications.

The OP's output looked more like rbenv's output though, right? How did you figure that to be debian's message?

Don't know if you are trolling. But if this is genuine: this is rbenv telling you that you have multiple rubies installed.

1. Pick one (just for this session): $ rbenv shell ruby1.9.1

2. And then run the example.

By the way 1.9.1 is really old already, 1.9.3 has a lot more bug fixes.

Also, if you like the "Introduction to Astronomy" course, there's a follow-up (although from a different university, Caltech) coming up: "Galaxies and Cosmology": https://www.coursera.org/course/cosmo

I love these kind of stories. Such stories fills me up with an immense sense of appreciation for scientists/philosophers/thinkers from the post-middle-ages.

Also, why I'm absolutely loving the coursera class on astronomy: https://class.coursera.org/introastro-2012-001/.

If you have not peaked into it yet, the way Dr. Plesser explains concepts and bridges them with the historical advances leaves a lasting impression. I wish we had classes like this back in school.

Does Kobo have a similar collection of books? Allows you to purchase from Amazon? Otherwise the difference (and a huge one at that) is the collection of books available on Kindle.

> we, almost successfully, taught them to speak English

Ummm, no you did not teach them to speak English.

Rather, "you" eradicated the parts of the population that did not speak English.

Interesting. For a key-value store what could be another abstraction though?

What problems did you see using rvm with screen? I use that daily and haven't seen any problems so far.

Or... The user usually uses the same password, but seeing this warning and gets alarmed, making him use a different password or not use the service.

I love this idea!

Part of why Amazon is great is it being a place where you go to research things. I'd hate it if they close reviews to only people who have bought stuff at Amazon - it'll take away too many good reviews.

It is very likely that there will be retaliation (or at least some forms of trying to retaliate) in the immediate aftermath. So increased alert levels are more likely.

I have no cable. Al Jazeera/CNN/NBC on Roku have been far more useful than cable was. (Yes Al Jazeera has a 24/7 live stream on Roku "Newscast" channel).

Considering Dropbox is probably one of the biggest users of S3, it's not entirely impossible that they were in the know.

Honest question - what is the HTML5 part in here (as opposed to I rewrote it in HTML+CSS+JS)?

Sure, depending on the definition of little better: Yearly growth (# of objects): 2.9 > 14 > 40 > 102 > 262 Yearly growth (as a ratio): 4.8 > 2.85 > 2.55 > 2.56

Also - this is just the number of objects stored (not put in ever) Obviously because storage costs, folks have purging solutions. It'd be interesting to see a similar trend for requests/sec.
