Yesterday someone (ML, CS PhD, Stanford) said he would not hire a person who is online educated in Machine Learning. Who here agrees and who thinks differently?

I think the main reason for looking at degrees is reliability. It's expensive and time-consuming to test each candidate's skills individually. Unless we get a better way to judge, sadly we're stuck with this I think.
It’s an (extremely) expensive mistake to base decisions on degrees though, because the correlation between that an actual performance is so weak. When you get the wrong employee- oh boy does that hurt!
