Remove direct link to issues
We often get issues opened that are empty, with no text or description of a problem. This may be because learners follow the link from the Community section, and post in order to interact. By removing the link (but keeping the link to the contributing instructions) we can hopefully direct new learners in how to interact productively.

1a61dc208d Added link to HW for Intro to Parallel Programming
Intro to Parallel Programming's grader is broken, it's impossible to submit programming assignments. It's also impossible to compile and run the code on your PC, unless you own an nVidia GPU. Thankfully some nice folks on Github created a Google Research Colab page where you can compile and run your homeworks (unfortunately the Final Exam is not available and probably never will be). I understand this uses Google's GPU sharing.

a08d2eedd2 Remove cryptography from Core Applications
Closes #570

Removing, as the course is too in depth on cryptography without teaching other important areas of security.

CS2013 specifies that the undergraduate CS curriculum include the Knowledge Area Information Assurance and Security (IAS). This knowledge area includes an introduction to cryptography. But unless students take an elective course in Cryptography, they need only demonstrate a familiarity with the topic, vocabulary, the use of primes in cryptography and how public keys are used.

As pointed out by @MohamedMandouh, this course is an advanced class offered at Stanford.

Meanwhile, IAS specifies a number of other important topics, which this class does not address.
