If you want to build web applications, I recommend spending going through Udacity's CS253 - Web App Engineering.

You'll be introduced to Django, Google App Engine, and Google's webapp framework.

Once you complete CS253, you'll need to do your own research and find tutorials related to Django, Flask, and other Python based web frameworks.
Thanks for that. I'll update my profile.
No, I have not considered that, because it makes absolutely no sense.

Criminals use guns during crimes because of the power it gives them to subdue and control their victims. Guns also allow them to easily dispose of witnesses after the crime is committed.

If the non-criminal population just decides to give up their guns, in hopes that criminals will do the same, the criminals will simply say "thanks".
And don't make the mistake of wearing the wrong brands, or Seb Coe and his capitalist cronies'll have you out of there faster than you can say 'corrupt'.
This article is a critique of the traditional aspect of teaching (having a teacher lecture students). This is obviously important, so it's good to have professional educators provide feedback.

However, I thought the aspects that was supposed to be "revolutionary" was detailed tracking and analysis of students and that feedback loop (either back into the system, to the student themselves or to teachers). They seem to completely ignore this.

Khan Academy isn't disruptive because of Salman Khan's lessons. It's disruptive because of the underlying platform, which any teacher (some possibly better than Salman) or any student could take advantage of.
One of the issues I have with Khan Academy is that they are using exactly the same style of teaching as in schools...just ported online. Is that really the best way to go about online education?

I find the AcademicEarth.org method of simply filming classes even worse. Yes, they do allow for what you'd normally call "quality education" to be accessible by anyone online, so that's a pretty big step, but I get this feeling that true disruptive online education is supposed to be something more radical...to make things 10x better for learning, not just replicate the offline learning experience.
Where is the video that represents the "right" way of comparing decimals? I'd be genuinely curious to compare it with the khan video. And if that ever happens, then Khan Academy is a net win in my opinion.

I would think it would be easy for the "nit-picking experts" to produce that and it probably would have taken less time than the formal analysis they did. Probably cheaper too.

This sounds very promising. As a vegan, it's pretty hard to find decent alternatives to meat, which I still crave once in a while - I went vegan for health reasons, not ideological ones.

This has been getting better with time, but unfortunately a lot of fake vegetarian and vegan meats tend to be unhealthy. In order to get some decent taste and texture, some odd ingredients are often used. Vegan does not equal healthy in all cases. This one sounds pretty good, hope they find their way to Canada and branch out to different meats, too!

I spend a lot of my time in outreach, enhancement, and enrichment activities, and I've now met several people who have taken to watching lots of the Khan videos. Some of them are doing spectacularly well, possibly partly because of them, although correlation versus causation, etc.

However, I have had some seriously worrying conversations with people who have some deep, deep misconceptions, and who believe they have been vindicated by some parts of some of the videos. Again, correlation versus causation, etc., but some of the things these people believe they've learned from the KA, and believe must be right because they (think) they've seen it on KA really worry me.

I agree with Sal when he says:

We believe that we are in the early days of
what we are and feedback will only make that
better. I agree with you that no organization
should be upheld as a magic bullet for education
woes.

However, part of that feedback will rightly be negative, and some of the fanboi-isms I see worry me almost as much as some of the misconceptions I see.

It's a brilliant body of work, certainly ground-breaking, and potentially revolutionary. But it has its problems, and denying that doesn't help.
The intriuging thing about the JACK WILLIAMSON quote is that his apology from 1987 sounds like something one might write today for an audience in 2047. He didn't predict the future; he (quite accidentally) predicted that which continues to plague the contemporary psyche.
Props to the Cicayda team, I know Cox from way back. Any time you get a group of really smart people like that in a room, good things will happen. Great place to be if you're a developer.
I really wish people would stop comparing our current 100-year lifespan with pre-historic humans where someone my age (31 years old) would have been considered an elder (if even still alive!).

"Fake" meat tastes and looks like the real thing, but it has none of its downsides (look up "Forks over Knives" for some decent documentary on that. take with a grain of salt).
The article spells it out pretty clearly:

"Brown’s long-term goal is to offer a product that can satisfy the world’s growing, and largely unsustainable, demand for meat, especially in ballooning markets like India and China."

"Meat is environmentally toxic and colossally inefficient, ethically dubious (even if you’re OK with killing animals, raising and slaughtering animals in factory farms is hard to defend), and it’s unhealthy (that’s even true if you don’t eat it—there’s good evidence that the rampant use of antibiotics in livestock production has given rise to drug-resistant infections)."

The amount of resources required to raise an animal to the age at which it can be slaughtered for use as food is a very real problem as the natural resources of the world are strained by population growth.
Six languages to master
Great more fake stuff, just what we need.
I love how every time something like this comes out they ask someone who hasn't had meat in 10 years if it's just like meat. Yeah, because they would know.

My biggest problem, though, is if I'm having ingredients that aren't meat, I'd like to have them be good. I've never had fake meat that I would call appetizing.

I've had lots of vegetarian dishes that were delightful, but not one included fake meat.

I am not vegetarian.

Since a sudoku puzzle implies it's solution, it is a highly compress(able) representation of the solution. I wonder if it might be possible to leverage this sort of rule based matrix to improve compression algorithms, or if compression algorithms are already more optimal than this.
tl;dr, with my own interpretation of the article: "although we are not students in today's world, we presume to know and understand the mind of today's student and can tell you from our own learned perspective that Khan just doesn't have what it takes to teach."

I'm certain I read nothing more than snobbery in this article. It reads like "we didn't think of this free online disruptive academy first" or "how dare you do something differently from and outside of Official Academia."

Do you know who the best teachers are? I mean the absolute best, the ones who actually get what the student is struggling with? Other students-- the ones who just got through that particular lesson, the ones that just had the exact same struggle. The students' ability to teach like this declines with experience with the material because it all starts to become second-hand and they forget all the little things they struggled with early on. When an instructor takes note of students teaching students and the hows and whys of that interaction and remembers to cover the same territory in the next class, he becomes the best non-student teacher he can.

My mother is my perfect anecdotal example of this. In her 50s, she's getting a degree. While taking calculus, she also worked in the tutoring lab. After understanding new material, she'd be an absolute godsend for students for about two weeks and then her helpfulness would fall off. (You could also attribute this to all these classes being mostly in sync with at most two weeks of lag - that being the case, she would be less exposed to the reteaching of the material ... and forget those little details.)
I can't say I know if vegetarianism is more or less healthy than being an omnivore, but I feel pretty confident in saying that we won't find the key to health in slavishly attempting to copy the habits of people who weren't anywhere near as healthy as we are.

Pre-historic humans, for example, had a life expectancy of about 30.
Aside from moral reasons, it will be interesting to see if creating fake meat is more energy efficient than existing farming methods.

As a voracious meat eater, I am actually intrigued by the idea of a healthier chicken meat that takes the environment into consideration. If it tastes like chicken, even looks like chicken, is healthier than chicken, and has less of an impact on the environment/climate/conscience, why wouldn't you eat it? Now beef on the other hand...I still am on the fence there. What can I say, I like a nice medium rare, well-marbled, ribeye slightly charred on the outside. I don't think you can ever replace that.
Man, really, a feature? You think the designer of this forum decided to break all the links on purpose? That's some strange design decision.

Wouldn't a minimum fix be a simple htaccess redirect for failed links?

As page refresh usually works then a redirect to the referer (ie send you back to the page you're on) would seem like it should work most of the time: of course it should preferably give some feedback to indicate what has happened.

Ingredients in Chicken (that isn't factory farmed): Chicken

Ingredients in this: Water, Soy Protein Isolate, Pea Protein Isolate, Amaranth, Natural Vegan Chicken Flavor (Maltodextrin, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavoring), Soy Fiber, Carrot Fiber, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Dipotassium Phosphate, Titanium Dioxide, White Vinegar

So, it's not terrible but it's just more fake pseudo-meat. What's so hard about buying a soy protein (firm tofu, tempeh, etc.), and just cooking it with spices and herbs like you would a regular piece of meat? Fake food sucks.
Color me extremely skeptical until I see a rigorous security proof. Fun little schemes like this are a dime a dozen, and often are essentially useless for any real application.

I've watched some of the math videos with my 11yo. There's definitely room for improvement, but I find that encouraging. It's nice not to be close to the ceiling of how good online education can be.
When I'm approached to join an 'idea', I look for three things. Without these three, the idea has a tough time becoming a product.

Technical expertise: someone needs to be able to build something people want (and ideally will pay for). Things like lean methodology help provide the focus and direction to find this.

Marketing expertise: someone needs to be able to reach your market so they find you and convert.

Money: either you have some, make some with the product, or someone brings it to the table.

These things can be done by 1-3+ people, if they aren't there, I hesitate.

Maybe this is why I like pursuing ideas that make money. I'm open to ideas but they are just that, resource hungry ideas that need money.
Because occasionally posts tend to focus around people defending their well worn, trusty tools against these new upstarts.

I don't agree. Well, I kinda agree.

The kid who just "finally got" calculus may not have had the same hurdle as the kid who's currently not getting it. A teacher who's been teaching calculus a long time, has seen all the permutations of "not getting it", and has developed a catalog of tricks and methods to address getting that kid over those hurdles is also invaluable.

Why not have both?
The problem with these alternatives is they are highly processed, the exact opposite of a healthy meal of vegetables, lentils, nuts...

That said, the modern industrial slaughter of animals is an ongoing atrocity on an unbelievable scale, worst than anything humans ever did to each other (and can only be deemed acceptable if you vouch for biblical notions of human supremacism). If this helps any, all the best to them.
Normally if I'm sending off a resume, I know it's probably going to be automatically filtered:

if not resumeText.lowercase().find("postgresql"):
reject()

(Too bad I only bothered to put "postgres" on there.)

If there is an automated code test, I know exactly how the filtering is going to work. I write code, it passes unit tests, no auto-reject.

Sounds like a win for me. Of course, unlike many applicants, I can actually write code that works.
This is awesome, except for one thing. As with all hybrid kits, you lose trunk space. Unfortunately, if I can't fit my groceries as well as the stroller for my daughter, it's out of the question. Obviously not everyone requires this, but how many commuters do you think never need the trunk space?

These batteries and controllers need to find another place. On the roof of the car, perhaps, unless you're an outdoor sports person and need racks for bikes or a kayak?
London Olympic Organizers Ban 3G Hotspots
I think an inescapable problem is that it's hard to get past the framing. A product might actually be a very good food that easily stands up on its own merits. But if it's being carefully processed in a way that attempts to mimic all the cosmetic characteristics of chicken, being labeled as "chikkin", and being served lightly breaded with honey mustard on the side, then it's perpetually doomed to just be an imperfect imitation of chicken.

Since no one mentioned Cinnamon (LinuxMint) let me add that to the discussion.

I've been using it exclusively for months and I feel that it is doing what Gnome3 wanted to achieve. It is simple, intuitive and rock-solid. Never froze or crashed and diagnostic tools are great.

LinuxMint is the old Ubuntu which you used to recommend to your friends and family.

One snob article vs. a huge body of innovative work.

Game, set, match to Mr. Khan.
I think I read about this stuff in an earlier article and I'm still wondering: How does it actually chemically respond to heat, water, oil, etc etc. I mean, I suppose its alright if it just works like chicken in a single context (grilled maybe?), but it's not really a meat replacement unless you can rely on it to behave the same as meat for the purpose of recipes.

Don't take that as criticism of the product, I'm just curious what it's properties are and if you'd need to revamp your recipes if you wanted to use this stuff.
Wrong. You are simply misinformed. Infant mortality skews the average lifespan severely. Take out infant mortality and people lived long and robust lives, without the help of modern medicine.

Not too reliable of a source, I know, but there's a bunch of reputable books that I've read back in the day on this subject that said the same thing.
Beef produces 130 kilocalories/square metre/year.

Chicken produces 190 kilocalories/square metre/year.

Rice produces 1250 kilocalories/square metre/year. I assume soy is similar.

There are many other similar calculations to be made regarding demands placed on the land. With 7 billion people and counting, they're important numbers.

I wonder what the efficiency numbers are. The retrofit will add weight to the car, but won't remove any in the form of a lighter engine. There is also no regenerative breaking, and presumably no way to disengage the engine to run purely on electric power. I also wonder, speculatively, if the power assist will interact degenerately with the existing automatic transmission--perhaps running the car in a less than optimally efficient gear.

There's always been a touch of Willy Wonka style unreality about Google Fiber.

Municipalities across the U.S. know that their broadband sucks, and they wrote proposals to Google in lieu of real action, hoping Google could solve their problems with their magic wand.

Google still has a "non-evil" and academic reputation in some quarters, although anybody who makes a living on the streets of the internet knows that Google is the most dangerous and rapacious company on the net. People think, for instance, that Google is a noble warrior against web spam, although Google sustains web spam by (i) being the only signficant source of traffic for many site types, and (ii) making it possible to monetize crappy content. In fact, Google has gained "question answering" capabilities in the last few years thanks to web spam farms run by companies like eHow.

What gets me is that, in a time where the world is overflowing with capital (signified by low interest rates and general low investment returns) both the private and public sectors in the U.S. seem completely indifferent to investments in infrastructure.

(And why should they? Telecom companies can make minimal investments in infrastructure and charge champagne prices for beer products.)

Google steps in because, like Microsoft, they've got a small number of wildly profitable products and an inability to use the profits from those products to create new products of comparable profitability.

This is good for Kansas City, but it's one of just a long list of distractions, such as snake oil fixed wireless schemes for rural access, that have stood in the way of a real national plan for broadband U.S.
