What are your favorite online courses?
I have been participating in the "History of the world since 1300" at Coursera and find the content absolutely fascinating.What are the other online courses that you can recommend to a fellow hacker?

Re:Ask HN: How should I show sarcasm on the internet?

Sarcasm tends to work much better in face to face conversations (where you have audiovisual cues) compared to a written medium like HN. Considering that a large number of HN members don't have English as their first language, it would either be completely ignored or worse, seen as the opposite of what you are saying.
Your safest bet is to not indulge in saracasm on HN, lest you come across as trying too hard to be "cool".
Re:Ask HN: How do you validate your startup idea?

Its a good idea to first find where your customers hang out. Generally this would be at a handful of forums. The next step is to hang at those forums and mingle with the community. After a while you can approach people directly or start a forum thread talking about your idea and to get feedback on whether people would find it useful.
Re:Ask HN: What music do you listen to when hacking?

Anything that I have heard many times before. I find new music very distracting and music I have heard and enjoyed before very relaxing.

It used to be chrome. But over the last 6 months chrome has become a huge memory hog. I'm back to Firefox now.

+1 for Taleb. I only wish that his books were written with more humility.

Checked a few domains. Why not change the default registrar from GoDaddy to Namecheap? Most people in this community hate GoDaddy. (myself included)
Re:If I taught full stack RoR dev in SF for $30/2 hours would you come?

$30 sounds like a steal
