- More students _per course_ than a MOOC cohort? -- doubt. If you add up all courses of a while discipline, edu portals still serve way more students.
In our department, about 20% reach a master. Sure that's more well rounded than a random bunch of courses, but it should be possible to even surpass the rigid choices of a lot of universities. I have no numbers for MOOCs at hand. If I had to guess: more like a gym: a lot of members, an order of magnitude less finishers?
I personally prefer the interaction on campus. But I dislike the outdated content of a lot of professors -- I'm not arguing about basics that are still relevant, I mean their /SoTA/ from 5-15y ago.
- I work at a university and half of the coursework seems worse than the good MOOCs. Esp. the more practical ones.
(Might be a problem of that university, still ...)
- Quant and Ecosia are already building their own (European) index in a joint venture. Mozilla Search is totally uninteresting (to me).
- I read the title and wanted to dismiss the CEO. Than I reflected on my current web use and I at least agree, that classic search is at max. 50% of my daily tasks, the rest is for accessing bookmarked resources (that includes corp. non-AI web apps _and_ AI portals). While I currently disabled all AI in FF, I see where is stance might come from.
- Security guarantees like the Budapest Memorandum? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum
Worthless.
- Often enough that coincidences with an unexplainable increase of wealth.
- Oh, another Google API rant.
I knew I never want to use another Google service as soon as I got rclone running with my Google Drive: https://rclone.org/drive/
I rather not waste my time with such abominations. And I don't mean rclone. I don't care about the "history" of that API, or any API. It's like strangers telling you their live's story at the first meeting. Awkward.
- Are you ridiculing the concept of imaginary property?
It does make sense. If you are on the money receiving side.
On the other side: do you pay license fees to your parents, your teachers, ... everybody you ever learnt from? No? Why not? Didn't everybody learn by copying first?
What about imitation? What does freedom of art and science even mean? You call it parody. I call it theft.
See. You need the contradionary concept of imaginary property. Otherwise, how do we get rich quick? Live performance, consultation, teaching? Nah, those are for loosers... Rent seeking it is.

- That would be to consequent.
- 40M. More than PubMed, which needed more than two decades to grow close to that number? One way or the other, somebody seems to be utter clueless.
- Honestly I don't know if it was (Simplified) Chinese, or Japanese Kanji (so, symbols derived from Chinese).
And it isn't even relevant. "most cultures" cannot read anything of it. So what's the nitpicking about?
- I always wondered what "clever" people expected from crypto, apart from getting rich quick schemes. Boring.
We had such know-it-alls still with their pimples from Frauenhofer and Max Planck giving presentations. Even back then, 99% percent of the audience were skeptical, but sadly too many decision makers are just emperors with no clothing. There were so many immature, useless loud speakers given a junior professorship because old morons have FOMO too. That must have sucked for the valid academics with proven achievements. I'm glad I'm not one of the ones waiting in queue. There no single project having any sign of impact, naturally. While that can be said of a lot of academic work, crypto: more buzzwords, even less delivered.
- All the examples I tried were garbage. Looked decent -- no horrors -- but didn't do the job.
Anything with "most cultures" were manga-influenced comic strips with kanji. Useless.
- Already had some Edu reinstalls, because we couldn't wait for that company too busy with AI crap.
What a joke OS -- has massive potential and can be tamed to be decent, but that gets sadly and totally wasted by creepy morons, again and again.
- Btw., critiquing: "This is how he cleans the code in 2024: Original version on the left; the cleaned-up version on the right:" -- that doesn't render side-by-side on my mobile and I wish every web author would consider labeling/naming content boxes instead; and would reference that, like good books are doing it.
- ThinkPad T14 G1: mainboard replaced during first 6 months (cursor moving alone, with jitter, random crashes).
Now 4.5 years in: cursor moving randomly, with jitter (the same symptom as before), when TouchPad is activated. Plus: barely used trackpoint is defect.
That device was mainly used with an external keyboard and mouse -- no excessive usage of the built-ins.

$50000+ for such garbage? I wouldn't voluntarily sit in such a fish can for more than emergency travels.
It's Renault Zoe level safety -> I would pay $12000 max.
- Shorten patents to 18months (the industry's innovation cycle, in the past).
I'll bet you'll see a lot more output, esp. with low margins -- to make the market uninteresting for new players.
Insanity. That isn't "denial of a problem", or a tendency anymore. _One order of magnitude_ worse than any western civilization.
Other countries have "wake up calls" and act accordingly.
Still, close to every US blockbuster movie "solves" problems with guns. That's cynical, considering the real world suffering.
