Free school?!
onlinecourses.comLadybird found this website today.
Over 500 free courses put together from Yale, Harvard, University of Michigan and Stanford.
Because of my choice to live without an income, I am a huge advocate of free education. This is a big win in rounding off some of the areas where my education is lacking.
“L'unico modo di fare un ottimo lavoro è amare quello che fai. Se non hai ancora trovato ciò che fa per te, continua a cercare, non fermarti, come capita per le faccende di cuore, saprai di averlo trovato non appena ce l'avrai davanti. E, come le grandi storie d'amore, diventerà sempre meglio col passare degli anni. Quindi continua a cercare finché non lo troverai. Non accontentarti. Sii affamato. Sii folle. ”
—Steve Jobs, Discorso ai neolaureati dell’Università di Standford“For at least some of those with soul-destroying morning commutes, liberation may indeed be at hand. A preliminary presentation posted by Stanford University researchers describes the effects of allowing customer service employees at a billion-dollar Chinese company to work from home: Productivity went up, as did hours worked, and employees seemed happier for it.”
——Ray Fisman at Slate reports on a study that shows that telecommuting may not be the “working from home” joke many of us make it out to be. And, yet, when all the workers were offered a telecommuting option, half the employees opted to inhabit a cube, “preferring the hours in commute in exchange for the human interaction of office life and a fixed beginning and end to each work day.”
