Google just sponsored Web app developer and Android developer nanodegrees to thousands of people. https://www.udacity.com/google-scholarships I guess they are giving big players like udacity and coursera even support.

sorry, not much substance to the content.

I think you are talking about Korean electric pressure rice cooker. They have various cooking mode but more geared for rice. But people found a way to make cakes etc. This is North America version of them.

The corporate control of government is in play in the broad light.

Given with multiple offers, he didn't drive hard negotiation like this guy. http://haseebq.com/farewell-app-academy-hello-airbnb-part-ii... HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11552780

Interesting, No mention about the cofounder, Pyanka Sen Sharma. I saw her at the YC female founder conference on 2015(?) She seemed to be doing business development of the company.

I am parents with school-aged kids. This is outrageous. Can we prevent this?

I am running a startup that is a market place, http://greensprout.co for afterschool programs and summer camp providers (limited to Bay area). Naturally I am interested in this space. As a Korean, it is great to see startups working from Korea. The coding school is getting popular. So, it is a good place to start. But, there are many varieties. This seems to me like a tutoring service for computer programming. As you said it is video chat, is there youtube video to introduce the service? That will be helpful.

I have one kid, who is at your target. But I am not sure if I need tutoring like for block programming. I am more interested in real programming. Also, it is not clear what you will achieve at the end.

But, keep doing the good work since you have traction and I guess that people like the teaching quality, which you need to keep it consistent.

As an Asian, it is true that most of the countries in Asia work hard to enter college but in Korea, this is no longer true that they party in university.

Tightening job market drove students to study job-related certificates and tests such as Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC). This is so grueling for young generations with grow student debts.

Students often defer their graduations to appear fresh in the job market. http://thediplomat.com/2014/05/south-korean-students-delayin...

I don't believe that this was faked excuse. It is grueling to work in Chinese startup. In one of the articles about Xioami, he had a meeting in evening then flew out for a business meeting tomorrow morning, which means red-eye for him. This is not unheard in China. Work-life balance doesn't exist. US executives can't keep up with this demanding nature in Chinese work culture. But Hugo seems to leave in good terms. His hiring and Xiaomi's well-received exposure to other markets in China coincided so it benefited both, company and him.

Impressive work by Singapore government agency. I heard that they are as competent as private sector.

This article is more click baity but the previous article is better written. http://www.codelitt.com/blog/the-art-of-defining-products/

I am female, over 40 and an engineer with some management experience under the belt. When I go to event in SF (Valley is still better), I know that I am an outlier. One of the odds that deters conformity of the data model. I am happy to break the mold and willing to do it.

Visiting to Asia on next round?

I can chip in my experience for hour of code event. I volunteered to help run some sessions. Most of the things that we did was to give a bunch of website out of Hour of Code website. We made sure that the usage of coding exercise doesn't have to make the users register. Alas, in spite of instructions, many students and parents still were not able to skip the page asking for registration. Of course, some sites were more deliberate to place registration as if without it, nothing is going to happen. They say it is growth tactic. I say it is abusive one.

AliExpress is increasing serving more US customers for looking for bargain price. I guess that Amazon is aware of that so they take blind eye for the low priced counterfeits.

Amazon is playing catch-up here in machine learning. Comparing the offerings between google cloud and aws, google cloud has a lead. Not to mention TensorFlow in cloud, you can use their ready-to-use model in voice, translation and image. Does AWS have image tagging? I haven't seen yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja2hxBAwG_0

Google is working on similar concept. But Marty is more advanced with 2 legs. Educational toy market combined with programming is drawing lots of interest as a trend. https://goo.gl/photos/cogjHRCsm11RJaad8

Why is it downvoted! I am just pointing that out as a fact.

Folks, this was dismissed as misinformation to public by the city.
