> material presented in this [...] may be triggering to some students." Can't be serious as I didn't see MUMPS in the list. (Who gets that joke wins a free trip to Wisconsin)
You work for Epic?
(Apparently I needed a "dry db nerd humor" trigger warning, as I go downvoted since nobody got the database joke).

So sad that they are forced to put such "warnings" on this kind of courses.
I guess people signing up for a database course should expect triggers to feature at some point
By taking this course and referring others to it you're directly supporting CMU - and indirectly supporting CMU's activities related to breaking the Internet for the FBI/US: https://www.google.com/search?q=CMU+TOR

I linked to the HTML version for you, so it works without JS enabled. If you do this over Tor, that is the wise bet given your interest in reversing IP addresses through careless Tor usage pivotal to that investigation and others.

CMU SEI is more or less a separate institution that was founded with government money. Very little relation to the workings of the school, but it's still unfortunate that the work was done under the CMU name.
Fun fact; their building was used as a police station in The Dark Knight Returns.
From the syllabus: " Trigger Warning: The material presented in this lecture uses explicit language and discusses certain situations in database management systems that may be triggering to some students."

Thanks for posting OP, can someone comment on how this compares to mit 6.830 (hopefully someone who has taken both the courses :)) http://db.csail.mit.edu/6.830/sched.html http://db.csail.mit.edu/6.830/notes.html For folks interested there's another implementation specific db course https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs346/2015/ although the lectures are not on youtube
6.830 is a standard introductory database course (although somewhat more advanced than other introductory database courses like Stanford CS245, or Berkeley CS186).

It's unfair to think of CMU as an 'evil' entity just because of what some people in one particular and small department did. There's a lot of really good work that comes out of CMU, including the department that helped the FBI. EDIT: furthermore, SEI was doing independent research into the security of TOR. The FBI subpoena'd CMU to give up the results/contents of the research which is what ultimately helped the FBI d…

If the department believed their research was important to the security of Tor, why did they not share it with Tor? Why did CMU do research in the wild on a live system and not get criminal complaint filed against them? What has CMU done to insure this does not happen again?
This is a matter of legal debate about the intentions and methods of the government, IMO. To reiterate I don't think it's fair to blame students/faculty/researchers for not breaking the law and agreements that allowed them to conduct the research in the first place.
As for what CMU has done to insure that this does not happen again... I don't know.
Nicely designed pages, especially the Schedule one. 1996-clean, but with make-up ... Also got curious about the 'Piazza' top link, looks like an external forum system: https://piazza.com/cmu/spring2016/15721/home (49 students, 273 posts, 3 staff, but nothing much public)
