It's a bit poorly-worded...but looks like it says the therapy does 2 things: 1) It expresses the insulin-producing genes (insulin is the protein hormone that binds with glucose in the blood to convert it to ATP, or energy), and 2) it expresses the Glucokinase genes (Glucokinase is a hormone that regulate glucose uptake from the blood).

(I know you're type 1 - me, too - but wanted to explain it further for those who don't know how it works.)

Agreed on the hormone imbalance side of things. The Glucagon issue seems very real. However, if it's in essence stimulating insulin production as well as improving the glucose uptake, then that in turn should balance the blood sugar effects of Glucagon. As for the other effects, though...that definitely remains to be seen.
I agree, The NYT has global influence and like you say TESLA is in a sink or swim situation.

But I have to ask this: doesn't is take some 30-years to get a technology completely figured out and completely usable with no hassles or bugs and could Tesla be entering the second decade of that process? You mentioned the cold weather and that is definitely a valid consideration that has to addressed.

To use the web as an analogy, it took 12-years to create, 4-years to grow and produce a web-browser. 3-more years to commercialize and another 10-years to become part of everything we do.

With that in mind, perhaps TESLA is reluctant to admit that they are just in the "browser creation" stage and they still have work to do?
No, if something is different than you need make is stand out.

Its something like this, before mechanical vehicles came in you could ride your horse cart even if the horse was a little hungry. When cars came along it was the responsibility of the car maker to provide with an accurate fuel gauge so that the customers could refuel when needed.

Very clearly Tesla's charge indicators have a bug. They don't take into consideration or in correctly calculate mileage when temperatures change.
So you think private property was invented in 1813?

I guess the War of 1812 was more important than anyone could have dreamed at the time?

yeah, pretty much all recent languages seem to promote camelCase everywhere. I know pretty much all Java books say its good practice to use it.
That's ridiculous. Ads produce positive revenue from day 1. The cost of putting them in is negligible. We can't know why they waited until now, but "insufficient number of users" was not why they took 5 years to do it.
Well, let's put it like this. Those of us who know our programming shit and aren't afraid of a little math know exactly what has being going on here and that this answer is pretty much BS (what else is he supposed to say? basically he makes minimal concessions given the facts).
The Highest-Level Feature of C
Agreed. They certainly can be misleading for those who expect them to translate over to humans without a hitch.

However, if one goes into trials on mice, dogs, and other animals with the understanding that you're comparing apples to oranges, there can be a lot gained.

This approach, for instance, is something completely different than I've ever seen WRT Type 1 diabetes. It's a 180-degree approach from islet cell transplants, semi-permeable protective membranes, and immuno-suppressive drugs. As a proof of concept, I think they can probably learn a lot from it - even if they can't simply copy it to humans exactly.

The tipping point will when/if a major OEM starts offering a large quantity of their products with a Linux distro as the default OS (i,e you have to specifically select Windows).

Realistically Steambox would seem to be the most obvious place for this to start happening. Of course how much the Steambox will be a "real" Linux computer vs just a kernel+whatever the minimal software stack is required to get Steam running remains to be seen.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for an Office for Linux regardless of what Phoronix thinks. Porting office to Linux would be a tantamount to MS admitting they have given up on Windows and would probably hurt their stock price significantly.

From a technical point of view the biggest thing that would make Linux a viable choice for the majority of desktops would be a WINE layer that provides at least as good compatibility as Windows XP for Windows software thus allowing legacy VB6 etc stuff to be moved over.

I've been teaching computer programming to high school students for close to 15 years. In that time, I've seen the demand grow more and more as the stigmatism of computer programming being a "geeky" or "uncool" pursuit has slowly dissipated.

The types of skills taught in computer programming courses -- abstraction, high-level problem solving, complex logic -- are ones I believe all students should have some level of proficiency in by the time they leave high school.
My argument was built on the premise that random routing isn't acceptable given the potential slow downs it can cause (as pointed out in the Rap Genius post). If you believe otherwise, then there's no real argument for me to make :)

With that said, in your example, you could do one and two together and the response doesn't need to wait on the completion of #3. So it's one network roundtrip, which I would imagine is a tiny fraction of what they're having to do already. It is certainly another moving piece, but again my argument is that they have to have a solution and this doesn't seem infeasible.
>the PSF clearly made a mistake by not registering the name (it's not a matter of 'bad law') //

You acquire some pretty reasonable rights in a trademark by virtue of use alone.
If you click on 11.04 or 10.04 versions, you get:

>>Except, he would need to wait around at the next charging station anyway. So, taking a risk more or less stupid behavior.

Your new car's fuel indicator says you have more than half tank full of fuel in the night. You sleep, when you get up in the morning it says you only have something like 4 liters left. Something like half tank worth fuel vanishes overnight.

What will you do? Will you suspect fuel leakage, faulty fuel gauge or something else. Since the car is new, you are likely to call the dealership. The guy there says, just add an additional liter and fuel gauge should be pushed enough to show the last night's reading.

Clearly the customer is at no fault here. A bug in the fuel indicator due to temperature is not his problem.

>>As to people doing the same thing, of course they do. Do you have any idea how many people run out of gas despite how common gas stations are and the standard reserve capacity?

Its one thing to have a empty fuel tank out of absent mindedness and totally a different thing when your fuel indicator says you can go 90 miles before parking for a night and then 45 miles in the morning.

You are confusing the user.
I've been arguing about this article on another forum, and have been looking closely at how Musk is interpreting his own data - and he's being loose and fancy-free with it (both sides have engaged in embellishment, it seems). As a result, I don't think he's a shining bastion of honesty - I wouldn't trust Tesla any more than any other entity.
Ypu
It seems to me like a lot of the "required coding class" idea is based on a misguided desire to increase the competitiveness of our country internationally. Learning to program is good, yes, but to be honest, what goal are you trying to achieve? The article suggests that the goal might be to allow people to enter the job market more quickly.

The fact is that "programming" in and of itself is just grunt work. Forcing an entire generation to learn how to put strings together to do stuff won't help any of them when they go to a job interview and see a hundred other interviewees with the exact same proficiency for copying snippets from websites.

Problem solving is the much more important thing here, and that is already focused on in high school (remember word problems?). Programming allows students to explore problem solving more interactively, yes, but requiring schools to teach programming won't help in the long run any more than emphasizing a more comprehensive and intuitive approach to solving problems - I'm sure there'll be enough of those by the time these guys graduate to last forever. :)

And this from the Bad Astronomy blog on Slate:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/02/11/asteroid...

On Friday, Feb. 15, the Earth is going to get a very close shave by an asteroid. Called 2012 DA14, this 50 meter (160 foot) rock will pass just over 27,000 kilometers (17,000 miles) from the Earth’s surface. This is closer than our geosynchronous satellites, so this really is a close pass!

But, to be very clear: This asteroid poses no threat to us right now, nor in the foreseeable future. Friday’s miss is just that: a miss. And, in fact, this is a good thing, since any time an asteroid gets close (but misses), we learn a lot, including how to find them, how to track them, and even how to talk about them to the public.

> In spite of the poor communication and slight exaggeration, I don't feel like there was malice or a great deal of intent on Broder's behalf. He generally had a poor experience.

I don't know much about electric cars, but I do know this: They aren't great for long distrance driving.

I have no doubt that Broder had a bad experience. When it's 10 degrees outside, I don't want to turn off the climate control. When I'm driving between cities, I don't want to stop at gas stations for over an hour. The list goes on.

This test was all about driving longer distances using fast (cough) charging stations. It seems clear to me no matter how you cut this up that the experience, compared to a gas powered vehicle was lousy. Who the hell wants to wait 1.5 hours at a gast station?

Tesla sounds great for driving around your city but I wouldn't think twice about buying one if I was driving great distances.

It's a tough spot considering they have planned the first official Apple store to be built in Rio (might already be in the process of being built).

Unrelated anecdote. My audio cable was shot on my MBA and so I asked an authorized repair shop (in Rio) what they'd fix it for and they said R$475 (roughly US$240). Instead, I bought the piece online from iFixit (US$20) and took my MBA to a corner repair shop and had it repaired right quick for R$30. That fixed the issue but, if I were Apple and worried about a product name, I'd find myself more concerned with products overheating as my computer was extremely hot on most days, no matter the season.
Sorry, but what are you trying to imply.

The default way in which any user thinks before acting is to trust the customer support guy. Just like how you trust your doctor, or lawyer, or your teacher.

Besides no ones studies chemical engineering before buying an electric car just to use it.
This is a great response, and I'll look forward to the follow-ups in the days to come. Kudos to the Heroku team. Bravo.
Making Sharing Better
Personal preference here, but 5 (!) links to the sign-up page seems a bit much. You could safely drop the bottom three and keep the navigation choice and the hero button - it's pretty clear how to register already.
> What are we waiting for, exactly?

I'd say precision. We need mature manufacturing processes for home printers so they can be mechanically precise enough to create everything. A lot of it is just that the hardware is immature, and needs a few more years of finer grained manipulation development in both the printer design itself and the resulting printers capabilities.

I mean, the precision extreme is that you can have a printer that arranges matter on a molecular scale. That is what Star Trek esque food processors are conceptualized as. If we can't get molecular, we should at least try as hard as possible to make it happen (though considering we are on a mm scale now, getting to the 0.1 nm or 100 pm scale (where a hydrogen atom is around) might take some time).
It would seem at first glance that the extra round trip(s) would be less costly than the potencial bottleneck by a large margin. As mentioned several times in the other thread, increasing average latency to narrow your latency histogram is almost always the correct choice.
Also, keep an eye on the phases of the moon, and visit your local reflexologist regularly for maximum results.

Suggesting this for "anyone facing serious health issues" is exactly as helpful as recommending magnet or pyramid treatment. We have science for a reason, and it's not "here's a ridiculous generalization that I saw on a GNC commercial."

You say that it's not "stacking the deck" for Broder to exaggerate for the sake of a better narrative, but that Musk should have given us just the facts. That's absolutely bullshit. If you think it's okay for Broder to editorialize, then at the very least Musk should be allowed to argue against it. After all, Broder's supposed to be a journalist, held to higher standards than Top Gear.
>if this company was given the trademark, they would have no choice but to threaten legal action against the PSF //

I'm afraid that, at least in UK and USA, you're wrong in your assumption of "fight for it or lose it".

You have to pay your registration fees and use the trademark for trade. You can allow unpaid use, you can even ignore de minimis use without any notification.

Even if it were "fight it or lose it" then it would only be for use of their mark to indicate the origin of goods or services that they could object to. If it's clear the goods don't originate with the owners of Python RTM then there is no trademark infringement (this doesn't quite apply to "famous" marks however that get extra protection).

"Fight it or lose it" sort of applies to genericisation but there's absolutely no chance that python is going to become a generic term in the software field for something other than python-the-language for the foreseeable future.

On a general issue I don't think it's right for PSF to attempt to gain a registered mark for python in the context of computing. Nor indeed should any sane TM office grant them a word mark as python is not distinct enough to indicate that goods or services originate with PSF. Indeed in terms of CTM it appears a registration is held by an individual that covers the software class already.
Fixed. Great point.

The parent comment said, "The system that puts legislators into place is a local majority vote, which is just as flawed as a national majority vote. It leads to a 2-party system which concentrates power and typically results in corruption." Reduced to a pair of logical statements:

Local majority vote --> Two-party system
National majority vote --> Two-party system

The parent poster did not make a statement of either of these forms:

National majority vote <--> Two-party system
Two-party system --> National majority vote

Thus, the previous poster is not arguing that only a national majority vote leads to a two-party system. In other words, a national majority vote is a sufficient but not necessary condition to have a two-party system. At best, we can infer that the parent poster intends to say that a majority vote on any scale leads to a two-party system, whether local, electoral college, or national, but even that was not explicitly stated.

> I suppose anything you already know could be described as a platitude.

It's platitudes because of the vagueness. Students should want to learn, stuff should be relevant, etc etc. These are unmeasurable, untestable and thus irrefutable statements.

Given that education has as an inputs billions of dollars and amongst its outputs the future of civilisation, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a little analytical rigour.
If this isn't some hoax, this is pretty wild. I'm not sure, but the general volume of news about this seems to point to it being real.

The thing is, they make the most money on the platform they take the most money per sale from. That is always going to be Linux, because in the long run, Apple and Microsoft can lock down OSX / Windows and the consoles are already taking per sale cuts for MS / Sony. Valve can only bet on desktop Linux (aka, not Android) to never stop arbitrary application installation.

IMO, any inbound link should be "share=1" -- i.e., not asking for a login. Put the ask-for-account-creation on the next action (clicking on a related question), and make it soft -- let the user bypass account creation for the rest of the session. Keep issuing gentle reminders for non-logged in users to create accounts, rather than holding content-viewing hostage.
And voted as such.
I don't understand this criticism. The comment wasn't about rejecting science. It's foolish to think that our current level of scientific knowledge is the ONLY thing worth paying any attention to.
Having a labor pool that is universally more productive with computers would be a good thing even if we don't end up being relatively more competitive against other countries. And programming is probably a better vehicle for teaching important problem solving skills than a lot of the math and science classes that the average high school grad doesn't end up needing for their career.
See the Google+ post and comments for what could be construed as evidence.
It takes events like this to highlight how awesome it is to have a large number of people constantly recording video. Integrated dashcams with a circular buffer should become ubiquitous standard equipment IMO.

For example, use a hashing algorithm that switches to 1 of N intelligent routers based on domain name.

I have home-schooled kids and have planned to start my daughter in Code Academy. Knowing how to code is a leg-up in the digital age. However, it's not for everybody. We still need those with basic trade-skills who seem to be getting kicked to the curb in favor of someone in China who could do the job cheaper. (If we want to build the American economy we are going to have to become self-sufficient inside of our own country again and have no trade-deficit.)
