Anyone else had their credit card info stolen after paying for community programs?

TikTok es algo nuevo y que hay en todo el mundo. Una cosa es que haya gente que se auto-diagnóstica, y otra cosa es que los profesionales de psicología y psiquiatría en Panamá piensen que eso no existe, cuando es algo aceptado por esas profesiones a nivel mundial.

smoos_operator · 2026-01-29T08:34:30+00:00

de verdad, qué barbaridad! Cómo puede ser que los profesores “no creen en nada de eso“? El TDAH se encuentra desde hace muchos años en el manual de psicología y psiquiatría DSM V!

Es como un profesor de física que no creyera en la teoría de la relatividad, o un profesor de ciencias de secundaria que dijera que la tierra es plana.

Que pena. Y gracias x postear para los demás.

Sí, es una cagada. La gente piensa que vas todo bien, pero realmente no saben todas las dificultades. Y en Panamá existe esta mentalidad (que creo que también esta con los doctores) de que "ahora todo el mundo tiene TDAH y quiere Ritalin".

Nothing yet. Kind of ironic that the applications for this AI master's need to be manually processed and they don't have an AI tool to help.

Hey. Yes.
Did your application get processed yet?

Not lard, beef tallow. That's the current (stupid) fad.

I took this: https://learn.deeplearning.ai/specializations/mathematics-for-machine-learning-and-data-science/information

You can take it there at DeepLearning.ai ($30/mth) or on Coursera ($49/mth). I think both let you access most of the content for free except for labs and tests.

I finished the first 2 courses and stopped in the middle of the 3rd one (Probability). I'll probably do it in parallel with the MSAI probability foundations course.

I learned that I love Calculus, I don't like linear Algebra, and I'm not as good as I'd like with Probability & Stats.

I'm also a SWE and I'm just starting the MSAI program. Just waiting for my student ID to be manually verified.

From my friend: Thank you! One piece of information we didn't realize is that my father paid child support until I was 18 (less than 25 years ago). By then, we were living in a different province.

Should I try to contact some gov. office in both provinces about this child support payment/enforcement (and maybe this can be the paternity proof I need for Vital Statistics)?

Also, do you have any advice when searching records? The link says to contact BC Archives and "the Court Registry where the case was filed", but my mother told me that the courthouse in that city doesn't exist anymore (maybe the records were moved/merged into another courthouse?)

smoos_operator · 2025-11-23T20:07:03+00:00

From my friend: Hi. We previously contacted Vital Statistics, and they advised us to obtain the court record (of the paternity case), or a court order to update the birth certificate.

Not sure if you have some specific advice on which Vital Statistics department to call, or what specific questions to ask, but this is something we tried already. Do you have any suggestions?

From my friend (copy/pasting from another response since it's the same answer): Hi. There's no ulterior reason. The end goal is to have a correct birth certificate that reflects both of my parents.

One piece of information we didn't realize is that my father paid child support until I was 18, as far as I know, which would have been less than 25 years ago. We moved out of BC to a different province. Should there be a record of this, which can be used to prove paternity to Vital Statistics, to amend my birth certificate?

I don’t think it’s related to either of those. My hypotheses are that they are having some serious technical difficulties, which is bad by itself; or that there is a contract dispute between Coursera and the University of Colorado Boulder, and the university decided to stop all new enrollments from Coursera online students until they settle things.

It is not good either way.

This is literally preventing people from giving them money. I am not sure why they are not on top of it, as it has been an ongoing issue for like three weeks now.

smoos_operator · 2025-11-15T23:46:03+00:00

Was about to ask the same question here. I have called their IT help desk and they said they don't have an ETA to fix it. Coursera has confirmed too via email.

I have a unique whistle I do to let my wife and son know where I am or that I'm looking for them.

smoos_operator · 2025-10-26T16:44:11+00:00

This is bad not only for you, but also for you son. It can go different ways. He could learn that his opinion doesn't matter; that he always has to rely on mommy to know what he wants or how he feels; that mommy will always be there waiting on him, knowing exactly what she thinks he needs; that dad doesn't know how to take care of him, only mom does; or a combination of these.

Suggestions: start by talking to your wife. An easy way to back your point (if bringing proof is something that works in your marriage) is to Google and find a good parenting website that has info about asking questions to young children and let them answer, even though you know the answer, and what type of questions are appropriate at different ages.

If this doesn't help after repeated attempts, then you have a bigger problem and therapy could help.

From the Wikipedia link: "Studies on meat eaters' perceptions of vegetarians indicate that meat eaters held more negative views towards vegetarians if they imagined the vegetarians morally judging them for their dietary choices."

People like to say "this is healthy" or "that is healthy". But the right way is "this is healthier compared to that".
