It is worthwhile to note that as data from ACT/SAT board of the last 2 decades indicates, the pool of candidates who are qualified enough to get into Ivy leagues are considerably richer than ones who are not[1]. I graduated from an inn

You bring up good points. And speaking of privacy in anonymous forums and NSA snooping, I've been thinking as of late: We can reasonably conclude now that NSA is probably in the game of data mining in a manner much like Google or Faceb

Is there any way to determine which ones are going to be left up and which ones are going to be put down (and for that matter, whether or not a certain course will be re-run on Coursera the next time around)? I'm curious to know if the

I haven't met Mark but I know people who knew Mark in his Harvard days. None of them have very nice things to say about him. The age argument is not good enough. You're still trivializing his willingness to release private inform

That's not a good enough excuse. I'm frustrated that you trivialize intentions to hand over people's e-mails, addresses, pictures like it's nothing, "oh, but he was just 19!". I was 19 once too, did a lot of

I underwent a formal psychological evaluation a few years ago, my shrink informed me that I have incredibly bad memory (I was ranking in at 1-2 percentile for two or three different memory tests). But yet, I've also been able to memori

I'm sorry I guess maybe I still don't understand where you're coming from? Of course there would be false positives -- are you perhaps informing me of some possibilities with which I could rationalize why I was the recipient
