Stanford student here. You’re right that there aren’t a ton of dedicated ethics classes within the CS department (though there are many tech-oriented ethics courses around the university). That being said, there has been a major push recent

That would make sense —- I was looking at California all together. Edited my parent comment to address this.

Stanford frosh (freshman) here. What's disappointing about this is not _that_ they cancelled — most of my friends agree that it's the prudent thing to do — but that they waited so long to cancel. For context, classes start tomorro

This looks great! For what it’s worth, I also maintain an open source (and self hosted) website analytics tool called Shynet [0] (someone else mentioned it in this thread, but thought I’d share here as well). Really great to see more option

Stanford student here. The answer is _yes_ -- afaik, they've extended the deferral deadline to August 19th to give people enough time to make a decision.

That’s great to hear! I’m glad it’s working well for you. And yeah, Shynet is definitely in part a response to half-baked self-hostable tools like Fathom’s offering.

Props to the author for ditching Google. I just want to point out that there are a LOT of non-Google analytics options out there; leaving Google Analytics really isn’t too hard if you’re willing to take the leap. Plug: those who want a mode
