A 4-credit course is $5000 and a 3-credit course is $3900 (don't ask me why the cost per credit for each are not the same). There is also a one-time $200 transcript service fee.

With that said, if your employer has an educational plan that can cover the cost, then it is definitely worth pursuing. I am working on a AI graduate certificate and have just completed CS 221. The level of rigor in instruction and course work is far better than any online MOOC course I've taken.

Exactly. I used to be a mathematician and while I am no longer one, I can completely empathize with wanting to work on math as much as possible. To me, it's exactly the same as why some people want to run marathons, because it's exciting and immensely rewarding, and makes me feel alive.

Are nuclear bombs good? In the end it largely depends on how they are used.

In that case one can just spam the same (or similar) post every second and your feed will likely be filled with that post.

I know I'm setting up a bit of a straw man here but my point is even chronological order can be exploited.
