Re:Ask HN: Fully online CS degrees?
on Monday December 11, 2017 @06:32PM (#15901773)
I am an iMBA degree student at UIUC. I took a leap of faith and got admitted in the iMBA program (Jan'17 cohort). I can say with confidence that UIUC is not only the first one to give such an affordable education but their online education platform is pretty stable.
Lots of my friends who are in the iMBA program are pretty serious about the Masters in DS. They had to be, after all they are getting 2 masters degree for half the price. I might be wrong but Berkeley is offering their DS Masters (online program for 100k+)

The insane rise in the valuation of Bitcoin. How many times we have seen a currency or an asset that represents this kind of momentum? Clearly no one has seen this coming (that soon).

I never want to reuse my comments from other thread but this time I just can't resist. No one really anticipated what we all are currently experiencing and Coinbase is not different.
It seems Coinbase struggling to cope up:
$0000 - $1000: 1789 days
$1000- $2000: 1271 days
$2000- $3000: 23 days
$3000- $4000: 62 days
$4000- $5000: 61 days
$5000- $6000: 8 days
$6000- $7000: 13 days
$7000- $8000: 14 days
$8000- $9000: 9 days
$9000-$10000: 2 days
$10000-$11000: 1 day
$11000-$12000: 6 days
$12000-$13000: 17 hours
$13000-$14000: 4 hours
$14000-$15000: 10 hours
$15000-$16000: 5 hours
$16000-$17000: 2 hours
$17000-$18000: 10 minutes
$18000-$19000: 3 minutes

The way things are moving it seems no one is selling and that's what baffles me. Crypto market is something we have never seen before where people are buying and not selling that is what is driving the price of Bitcoin.

Hardware company or Software company, we can always debate about it and choose whatever we want to say.
In few years Apple will be a "Trillion dollar company" and there won't be any debate or doubt about it.

Well so many things comes to mind when thinking about this kind of guarantee. Location is one for example. If I am willing to live and work in Chicago but Udacity found me the job in Sacramento, CA will I be willing to move to CA. I don't think so and that makes me the potential candidate where my fee won't be refunded as I say NO to the job offering based on the preference of the city I choose to work/live in.

Thanks for sharing this. Every single day I convince myself that I am not wasting my time by going on HN and posts like these are the reason I find something useful and meaningful. This is something I can share with my 9 year old son who is showing keen interest in Maths. Though the stuff presented here is still pretty advanced for him to grasp, but sharing this will help him immensely to keep pursuing his mathematical interest.

That's a pretty good info for starting the project. I have promised my 8 year old to build one for him. I will surely start checking out all these websites and visit the store (dx.com & bangood.com).
So we should be able to get all these different components from these 2 stores or there are some other online stores anyone is willing to share.
