How To Create a Website in a Weekend! (Project-Centered Course) State University of New York via Coursera (3 ratings) 8th May, 2017

In the fall of 2016, the citizens of the United States became fed up and made a decision that was heard around the world. While not all states felt the same way about this decision, it was pretty clear that it was time for some real change. The last 8 years had been an utter disappointment, full of the some of the most mindless inane drivel the world has ever seen, making people truly question if the United States was really the great nation that it thought it was. Then, last fall, it finally happened. On or around October 9th, the citizens of the United States of America collectively became more interested in artificial intelligence than Kim Kardashian's net worth.

For this guide, I spent a dozen hours trying to identify every online machine learning course offered as of May 2017, extracting key bits of information from their syllabi and reviews, and compiling their ratings. My end goal was to identify the three best courses available and present them to you, below. For this task, I turned to none other than the open source Class Central community, and its database of thousands of course ratings and reviews.

A strange iPhone bug forces iPhones to stop working entirely. The bizarre issue doesn't appear to pose any immediate threat, and can only be done by someone who has access to the phone – unlike recent, more malicious issues like the ones that allow people to crash phones with just a text message. But it is certainly irritating and seems to work on all versions of iOS, and hasn't yet been fixed by Apple. The issue forces the iPhone to temporarily become useless. But once time has passed it will fix itself again, allowing the phone to come back to life.

Spark is recognized as a great analytics engine. One of its benefits is its inclusion of machine learning algorithms that can group, predict, classify and even recommend based on the analysis of a corpus of data. Once the model is created, it can be applied to new data. In some situations, there is a need to score the model while the data is streaming to decide what to do with the new data. In this latest Data Science Central Webinar event, you will learn how to process the data to arrive at a model and how the resulting model can be used to score streaming data using IBM Streams.

For all the excitement about policing the web with image detection algorithms, machine learning, and other tools, the task of keeping the internet functioning and habitable still falls to people. Beneath the slick automation of companies like Google and Facebook hides a hidden army of manual laborers--many in countries like India and the Philippines. They perform the tedious, disturbing task that machines still can't, and that most Americans won't: Filtering social media sites for obscenities, abuse, and violence. In their short documentary The Moderators, filmmakers Adrian Chen and Ciaran Cassidy go inside an Indian firm doing that work, capturing a week-long training session for new employees. Their film, which WIRED is premiering online, centers on a group of young Indians starting their first jobs for Bangalore-based Foiwe Info Global Solutions, whose clients include a handful of dating sites in the US, Europe, and India.

Nintendo is rolling out a new software update for its high-fantasy action-adventure "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."

Downloading requires one to connect the console to the internet. Once connected, one should return to the HOME Menu then launch the game.

University teaching is under the microscope as institutions brace themselves for the first Teaching Excellence Framework, which will accord them gold, silver and bronze status. The biggest developments in university teaching are being driven by technology. The old techniques of talk and chalk are being challenged by lecture capture, flipped learning and decision-making based on data analysis. But technology can have worrying consequences. One (unnamed) university was recently brought under attack by its smart devices – a network including vending machines and light sensors was hacked, wreaking havoc with internet speeds across campus.

Educational, training institutions and eLearning content publishers must adapt themselves to the new technological landscape in order to keep their courses and learning materials relevant to today's learners. The development of educational mobile apps provides exciting new ways to develop educational courses that are both effective in reaching educational objectives for teachers and rewarding to the online learner. This presentation will serve as a guide for managers at learning organizations into ways to adapt courses for the multi-screen and multi-device app based environment that today's learners engage in. Mobile devices are outpacing traditional desktop environments when it comes to accessing the web. In fact, 60% of search queries are now done through mobile devices (source: SearchEngineLand).
