This program was just announced. So the first cohort hasn't started yet. There are a bunch of OMSCS students in this thread though who have taken some of the classes.

There's an online BS CS on Coursera. I can't really imagine how that works though because a BS typically isn't as specialized as an MS. https://www.coursera.org/degrees/bachelor-of…

Back when they were oDesk, I lived in a remote area with no technology jobs. I ended up working for oDesk for a 6 mo stint (Actually for oDesk not a third party). So I'm familiar w…

What kind of work are you doing? If you don't mind my asking...

It's definitely a race to the bottom but it also represents a good opportunity for junior developers even in developed countries. I've gotten $35/hour jobs before which isn't great…

As far as I know this has always been the case. oDesk had a screenshot tracking program too for hourly jobs prior to the merger and rebranding.

You're right. Maybe I was confusing it with the Metropolitan Commuter tax.

This happens all of the time. For example, it is very common to live in NJ and work NYC. In that case, you pay NYC tax, NY and NJ tax and receive credit for your NJ tax based on th…

Not to be pedantic but the article is about NY state, NJ, CT etc. Many people live in NY state but do not live in NYC. Additionally, as the article explains, some people try to liv…

Soaps and detergents are not hydrophobic. They are part hydrophilic and part lipophilic which is how they pull lipids into the water when you wash something.

It looks like the script is there to block phantomjs based bots (which can evaluate JS). It seems to check for the global properties mentioned in this article: https://blog.shapese…

I'm taking ML in the fall and I've already taken ML4T and RL. So the order I went in was ML4T -> RL -> ML. My understanding is that's roughly in order of increasing difficulty (alt…

Like others have noted, you need some Bachelor's degree minimally. But you don't need to take the GRE.

Get on the omscs-study slack. It's really helpful (and fun). Good luck!

Yes but it's a significant commitment. I work full time and take one course a semester. It's definitely doable but occasionally very stressful.

There is a specialization for Computing Systems: https://www.omscs.gatech.edu/specialization-computing-system... I think most Computer Science education is focused on fundamentals.…

No, they admit people without a BS in CS but I think they want to make sure you'll be able to succeed in the program. So it helps to have professional software engineering experien…

I'm halfway through the OMSCS in the machine learning specialization. It has been a great experience so far and definitely worth it for me. A couple of things to consider: As you m…

I've completed three of the courses in the ML specialization on coursera (The UW one) and I'd definitely recommend it. It uses python (which I prefer over R or matlab) and it's rea…

I don't think that naming the name of the company involved was doxxing. I think of doxxing as getting personal information to use in coordinated harassment of an individual. To the…

I think 1for.one is the old name, then they changed it to jobsonic and, more recently, to wrkriot.com.

On crunchbase they are now wrkriot: http://www.wrkriot.com/team-1/
