james_niro | 6 years ago | on: Zoom needs to clean up its privacy act

I am using zoom for school with 300 students and it works great. My professors who are not tech savvy were able to use it without problem. Zoom makes recording, screen sharing and chatting much easier than other softwares. Also, I like how easy it is to call in.

Also, at my work we use zoom for everything. It is a powerful software that we love.

Get Young and Freedman- university Physics and start working on problems. You can find help with those problems online. Make a study guide with timeline. Make flash cards and learn the equations. Find exams online and take those just like you were in school and have a friend grade it.

I believe the 6 seconds wasn’t enough for people to be creative. TikTok started with 15 second and one minute plus they implemented soundtrack system and great machine learning algo

There are two things happening in social media world right now.

First, when it comes to messaging friends and connecting with people most college kids uses Snapchat. I am in a big college and everyone at my university uses Snapchat for messaging. I believe that it is smart for Snapchat to default on camera when opening the app this way it keeps the distraction away and you can focus on whatever you were planning to do like reading a message plus it is a good privacy oriented platform.

Second, when it comes to being silly and occupy boredom, kids are using tiktok. TilTok has a great recommendation algorithm. Sometime, if I don’t pay attention I can spends hours on the app. TikTok became a safe space for younger generation, where they don’t need filters and photoshop to be part of a community.

Here is a great article in WSJ about TikTok

Sign up for pre-calc class on edx.org it is free and offered through ASU. First you take the test to see where your knowledge stands then you learn based on that test.

They use ALEKS learning which is a great tool to learn online. Make sure to take notes and do the problems.

My advise don’t pay for math at community colleges because they use the same tools but you have to pay somewhere between 300 to 500 for courses which is waste money.

Picturs cannot make justice you have to see it for yourself. Moscow metro is like you are in a high end art gallery filled with beautiful Russian women. It is different around the year and it can take you anywhere in Moscow.

PS

Checkout the metro map the layout is great
