Re:We’re sorry, and we’re not rolling out the fees change on Wednesday December 13, 2017 @02:41PM (#15916916)
It seems very likely that the change was motivated by payment processor fees. Patreon uses Stripe to process payments, which charges a flat rate of 2.9% + $0.30 per successful charge. Compare that to the proposed fee patron fee structure of 2.9% + $0.35 — where presumably the extra $0.05 per transaction is the cut Patreon takes off the top for themselves.

I actually took CS107 in 2012 with Jerry Cain, and we still used this handout as a reference guide.
Argo (https://argo.io) is a web-based tool that enables fast, natural-language based question asking and visualization of data. It's designed to be used by a non-technical user, so you can share dashboards and visualizations with people, and they can ask their own questions.

Under the hood, Argo uses advanced search processors to turn natural language queries into SQL, optimized for visualization.

You can request a demo on their website: https://argo.io

Cocoa motivates and accelerates learning by combining gamification with social network integration, skeuomorphic design, flexible study exercises, external content recommendations, games, and more. Still in development, the app will be available for usage by invite only in the near future, after which it will be made publicly available for free.
