    Social media is work, just like housework is work, and it's about as dull as waged work too. Work is a relationship where some entity extracts surplus value off your unpaid labor. …

    Yeah! Math Prof has definitely chosen a side. He obscures that move in a fluff of "politics is complex, decisions are difficult." But politics is everything, and he's engaged in po…

    Woah, I followed pretty much the same roadmap as you, except I took the (Python-based) CS600 class at OpenMIT instead of Udacity's CS101. And my year was 2013. I really enjoyed Uda…
