I'd love this - except, where's the CS? I just see a lot of business/startup stuff, which I'm not interested in.
Judging by the description, it looks like it alternates between CS and startup lectures.

#12Great idea, and love how you've integrated advertising. I love that there's a schedule - following the paradox of choice, I hate choosing, and you have a good selection of videos.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is. Going deeper into particular topics or having folks share additional resources has been incredibly valuable. The lectures serve as conversation-food and not the 'core' of the experience here. That's the premise of the experiment.
This would be kind of like watching someone play a videogame on Twitch— indeed, you could just about implement this as a Twitch channel where people turn up and watch a taped lecture together.
Twitch has this for Bob Ross painting shows

#15Received an early look at this through my subscription to Fairpixel's free & open-source logos newsletter: http://logodust.com/ ... Awesome company
btw the email stated it was for viewing "how to start a startup" lectures, not CS
Re: Show HN: Watch Stanford CS Lectures Together
#16Why restrict it to Stanford? Why not include MIT, Berkeley, etc? BTW these are not CS lectures (all this startup stuff is not CS, like say algorithms, os internals, database systems, ML theory, etc)
EDIT: I like the idea very much, but not in its current form.

Voting on the schedule might be a good idea, especially if voting power was weighted based on how much each user has engaged.

Brings in a whole can of worms: how do you measure engagement? Is it gameable? What happens if someone games the system and gets by far the largest weight in the system?

#20It's really not that hard to provide local times on the schedule page. I have no idea without doing a Google search what time it is in UTC. Also, is the current class title displayed somewhere?
