I would check out the wiki (https://safenetwork.wiki). The network's been in development for a decade, it doesn't use a blockchain, and the coin isn't the goal of the system (just a feature).

Oh, well, just because you call it "farming", not "mining", it doesn't make it vastly different.

I'm in the same boat. Found https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera-dl and was able to download part 1 and 2.

What course names did you use? I could not find the ones from Prof. Sedgewick, only the one from Prof. Roughgarden

try algs4partI-010 and algs4partII-007

Well... I guess it's too late... they probably noticed already because I can't download any more courses :(

You might have to enroll in them first

you have to enroll in them and accept their honor rolls first. Does that work?

Not really. I was already enrolled and it didn't work, so not sure what happened.

odd, I shared the 2 courses on google drive

hope it works :)

new folks: use https://drive.google.com/a/hugomelo.com/folderview?id=0B_H50... and https://drive.google.com/a/hugomelo.com/folderview?id=0B_H50... so it doesn't ask me for permissions, did not anticipate how many folks would ask :)

Google Drive says you need to grant access to download this. Clicked on the 'ask owner for permission' button. Hope you grant it.

Thanks!

Got permission thanks. Will download to local storage tomorrow ish.

best bit:

"They had a specific date to ship, and a fixed number of engineering resources. They knew their bug count had to glide down to zero by X date, and some bugs had to sadly be resolved "Won't fix." If a PM doesn't hit their schedule and ship, they get fired. This bug had to be punted."

diffuse responsibility, give some folks one-sided power, and you've got a Parreto-efficient race to the bottom.

It looks so pretty. Oddly reminiscent of G+

+1 for the redesign

+1 for the +1 pun

nicholasreed makes a good point. Let me make some stuff clear:

- I paid a $500 refundable deposit by mailing them a check they never cashed.

That was legit. A $3,000 deposit is silly though.

- To the best of my knowledge no jobs were found from App Academy's partner companies.

- I don't believe the $83k average salary thing.

That said, Ned is one of the greatest mentors I've ever met, and he's radically changed my life.

:)

Hugo! I never really announced it but I accepted an offer with Twilio to join as a mobile engineer. I only interviewed with partner companies. I was going to mention it when I got back from my trip. I think other people got offers from partner companies as well.

Another App Academy kid here. Like Eddie, I too received and accepted an offer from one of AA's parter companies after I finished the program. I'm an apprentice at Thoughtbot now!

[Edit] - Looks like I had some bad info. Several offers to students were from partner companies.

edskim case in point. He's off to Twilio now.

whoops ;)

As long as there's an awesome system like Hacker News, there'll be people trying to hack it. HN wins to the degree that it can counteract that and MAKE SURE that the 'best' ideas organically flow to the top. And pg is all over this.

I really like the idea of 'trust' / influence making your upvotes worth more than my upvotes or someone else's if you're proven to give good stuff. Hmm..

It feels a bit slow now for me. Is it getting pummeled by HN?

By the way, cool project.

I like this, it sounds cool. What's the tech stack? How do you handle sending / receiving email?

Thanks, I use nodejs for both the webserver and the smtp server. Sending mails isn't supported at the moment, but will def. be in the future, already have it in my dev build ;) Gonna add a second smtp server as a failover too.
