INTERESTING: Perdue goes online

FROM THE WSJ

Private Turned Public 

Purdue University, a flagship public institution in Indiana, is jumping into online education by buying for-profit Kaplan University with the aim of creating a new, public online university. The highly unusual acquisition will extend Purdue’s reach to more working adults while building an additional revenue stream at a time when state funding is uncertain. Purdue President Mitch Daniels said the school wanted to stay true to its land-grant mission of educating as many people as possible, but he recognized it couldn’t build an online presence alone. The venture highlights the shifting higher-education market as public funding declines, tuitions rise and college students grow older, busier and more indebted. Purdue said it plans to acquire Kaplan University’s 32,000 students, 3,000 employees and 15 bricks-and-mortar campuses and learning centers from Graham Holdings, which will maintain Kaplan’s international, professional and test-prep businesses.

A few years ago, one sage fellow said that in the future there would only be 100 Colleges or Universities in the USA. Everything else would be online or dead.

Sounds like that’s going to be true.

RANT: Sargon of Akkad destroys “Social Justice” and its “warriors”

Social Justice is Uncool
Sargon of Akkad

*** begin quote ***

How pompous. Have you ever seen a room full of millionaires applauding themselves because they think they are going to save the world with their <synonym for the act of procreation in real time> acting.

*** end quote ***

Absolutely spot on!

Sigh! Argh!

While he’s a little long and rough language, I can understand the frustration. 

I wish there was a transcript because he hits a few gems!

VOCABULARY: The word “internet”?

Monday, May 1, 2017

*** begin quote ***

Should the word ‘internet’ be spelled with– a small ‘i’ (internet) or a capital ‘I’ (Internet)…?Internet Exceptionalism or Not– internet (small ‘i’) vs. Internet (Capital ‘I’): To Capitalize or Not… Who Decides? 

*** end quote ***

I just spell it “inet”. But then I spell “yesterday” as “yday”. Us fat old white guy injineers ain’t so good on spelling anyway.

Now when it comes to “intranet” (i.e., implying a bounded internet within an organization), unless it is air gapped with private address that are non-routable1, one must assume that they will “leak”. Hence, if you mean “intranet”, spell it out and footnote how you ensure it does NOT leak.

# – # – # 

1 The private address segments (10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255) are commonly referred to as “non-routable” addresses.
