Sorry, I thought that at first too, but that is wrong. The "overnight" drop is visible as a small vertical jerk of about 1% difference in the "Battery State of Charge" graph right after the 300 miles mark.

That's why in my account I have the "expected around 90, saw 50 in bad lighting, misread it as 90" snafu. There is a drop, but not as precipitous as it seems.

What happened at 400 miles is apparently a set of full stops as he pulled in to a parking space to talk on the phone and say "I'm not gonna make it," followed by a short reversal of highway time which ends on the 400 mile mark as he went into Norwich, followed by a lot of stop-and-go driving in Norwich to get to some Tesla charger which the NYT article says is around here:

RubyMotion is another layer. You can argue it is minimal. That doesn't change that it is a dependency, out of your control, and unsupported by Apple.

I use Google's "My Tracks" app every day to record my running, with a GPS tracked path imposed on a Google map, and it easily shows tiny shifts in position such as which side of the street I ran on or whether I ran on or slightly off of a dirt path. There's no doubt something equivalent in a Model S would be able to accurately record laps in a parking lot.
Well....I never meant to imply that it was "impossible" for them to go to court, just that it may not make much sense - given that they had similar evidence against Top Gear in a very libel-lawsuit-centric jurisdiction and their case got thrown out.

We will see what, if any, legal action they take. If anything, I suspect it would probably be against the journalist and less the company. I can't see the company standing behind Broder's statements - given these facts.
I think pursuing exclusive titles is a bit of a wild goose chase. They're necessary more to prop up a struggling console than to further benefit an already successful one. If the system is doing well then you don't have to convince anyone to target it. Especially in today's world where the big game engines target multiple platforms so easily, deciding to target only one is just leaving money on the table, even if your studio has strong preferences towards a specific console. Generally the only way to ensure an exclusive is to buy or pay off a game studio, but that can be self-defeating because that money offsets the increased game revenue.

But if you're relying on your console being a solid default favorite platform for games because it makes financial sense there's nothing wrong with that. It may not be as satisfying a "win" as exclusivity, but it's precisely the sort of win that you want. And it should still be flattering that developers are targeting your console merely because they think it's a good system rather than out of any backroom dealings.

Of course, you can change the equation with custom hardware, as the Kinect has done, and that has generated a few decent exclusive titles. We'll see what MS does with the hardware with the next console rev, maybe they'll be able to deliver more on the promise of the hardware and bring more major developer attention than it's gotten so far.

A journalist conducting a review on a consumer product is a scientist. And a scientist is supposed to set out to test theories, not prove them.

Any journalist that falls short of this standard, even if it's because of honest mistakes, should not be allowed to conduct reviews.
Yes, all well understood. The problem comes up in cluttered terrain and an ordinary GPS unit that's in motion (no differential GPS option). In such a case, if the receiver encounters obstacles in its satellite line of sight, it may switch to more favorable satellites and recompute its position. As a result, the apparent position will jump around within the normal error bound (see below). I know, I've had the experience any number of times.

> GPS is only accurate to a certain amount (maybe 1.5 metres, maybe 10 metres)

Statistical civilian GPS accuracy is better understood than this. It's 7.8 meters (25.6 feet) for two standard deviations (i.e. 95% confidence):

@almost is right - there's nothing that strictly ties you in to Django's ORM.

A few thoughts:

* You'll need to use the Serializer class rather than the automatic ModelSerializer.

* You'll need to do a bit of tweaking if you want to use the Generic class based views (since they default to using the standard Django querysets), but if you're just writing the views yourself there's nothing tying you to the ORM.

* You'll need to deal with the transaction management, probably by using middleware something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6606725/best-way-to-integ...

If it is something you pursue it'd be tremendously helpful if you could post to the list on how you get on.

Maybe, but I do think Occam's Razor favors the "expected 90, saw 50 in bad lighting, misread it as 90, could not misread it when it dropped to 45" explanation over both the "battery suddenly dropped from 90 to 45" explanation and the "NYT reporter saw 50, lied his butt off and said it was 90 to tech support for no reason, then ran with the lie in his article because he's a shill for oil and hates electric."

Driving back and forth in front of the charger doesn't seem quite so crazy given the distances involved. The distance the Tesla logs for is ~0.5 miles at a speed of ~10mph, but that's only 3 minutes of malfeasance, if it's anything at all.

And I'm not sure it's malfeasance -- because it's certainly not led to anything in the report. Maybe he wanted to park and get some food but then remembered that the charging takes a while and did it in opposite order. That could take 3 minutes easily off.
I'll let Dmitri give his own response but one thing I will mention is the fact that the cost of putting on the event each month is in excess of £2k and that's not taking into account Dmitri's time & efforts (or mine for that matter).

Actually... I don't get why he was doing circles on the parking lot...

I mean, think about it. Why he was doing it? I guess to check if the car will get discharged in next few minutes to write in the review that car got totally discharged after just few more minutes. Well, it didn't happen. Why then he didn't write that the car actually still held some charge? I mean, he was trying to show something negative about the car, but when he found something positive, he was no longer interested in showing it?

>> He presumably has numbers that show that Quora ends up net ahead if they force people to create accounts to read answers.

Well you don't have to be a genius to realize this.

So as long as there is a unlimited supply of free email accounts, asking for a compulsory log in to do things like reading answers is going to lead to only one thing: Users creating fake id's to read them. Good luck if they remember the login of that fake id next times they come in. Else what you will see is the same user creating as many id's he wants at his disposal.

If you by these numbers you are going to get the most misleading figures of number of users your site has.

I hope Quora realizes what they are doing.

Dude, a comparison with plane accidents does injustice to how irrational the fear of terrorism is.

In the US alone, over 40,000 people die each year of flu. In 2011 about 32,000 people died in car accidents, which is actually good because that number is down from over 40,000 per year in the last decade (but it's probably due to the raised gas prices, it isn't like car travelling got all of a sudden safer). About 600,000 people per year die of heart disease, another 600,000 die of cancer, another 130,000 die of respiratory diseases, another 120,000 die of stroke ... many of them are old people and I don't have any stats now, but I bet the number of young people dying from such chronic diseases are on the rise and in the tens of thousands at least.

Compared to such numbers, the number of deaths related to terrorism that occurred in the first world countries in the last 50 years is completely insignificant and saying that these measures are the reason for why no more terrorist attacks happened is complete bullshit ... the only reason for why you don't see any more 9/11 scenarios is because existing terrorist networks have been drained of resources and that's it.

What TSA does to you on the other hand is just security theatre. I have a cousin that boarded on a flight from Romania to Spain with a pack of old-fashioned razor blades in his backpack. Razor blades are not allowed, mind you, but he forgot them there and they somehow passed through the airport's scanner and airport personnel is really not that careful. If the invasive procedures in the US would actually work, if they prevented anything, then where are the 9/11 events from Europe?

And if the US is a more popular target for terrorists, then maybe, just maybe, the right solution would be to improve your foreign policies and abstain from invading countries like Irak based on assumptions ;-)

> A journalist conducting a review on a consumer product is a scientist.

I think what you're trying to say is that a journalist is supposed to be objective.

> And a scientist is supposed to set out to test theories, not prove them.

A scientist cannot prove a theory true, but he might prove one false. Remember philosopher David Hume's famous remark about this: "No amount of observations of white swans can allow the inference that all swans are white, but the observation of a single black swan is sufficient to refute that conclusion."

So even a completely objective journalist, with no axe to grind, might discover that a claim is false.

> Any journalist that falls short of this standard, even if it's because of honest mistakes, should not be allowed to conduct reviews.

Perhaps in an ideal world. It turns out that Broder has a long history of bias in his reporting, and a rather favorable view of the oil industry and of conventional vehicles over electric ones. Notwithstanding those facts and this episode, I doubt his career is over.

North Korea is the nation most like Oceania in 1984 than any other on Earth. People are hungry and brainwashed from birth to love their leader and the state. That's basically why no one is trying to overthrow their government. US military intervention is sort of out of the question as well due to the immense lose of life involved (mostly in South Korea).
And updating things that generate content dynamically each time a security vulnerability is discovered (which for most popular frameworks means often) is such a PITA.

A single link to a product being designed by Google, when the product in question (a Chromebook) uses the same product (Chrome) as it's primary interface is hardly 'ZOMG! Chrome is running the ads now!!!'.

It's directly related to Chrome and Google is simply saying 'here's another way you can experience the browser you're already using that we came up with'.

> So there isn't a "starting point" in nature, only in these models.

Exactly, that's my whole point. And your chosen simulation starting point highly influences the outcome of the simulation. The one you chose happened to give you the prime numbers, but another would give wildly different results.

> And, because I model all the predator cycles between 1 and 30 in order to get a single result for one experimental cicada cycle, and because I model 1000 years, I have eliminated the starting point from consideration.

Well, no, evidently not, but I don't feel like making this point once again, the posts above explain this sufficiently.

> But to make sure we're on the same page, here's my latest algorithm:

This algorithm is again unreadable and wrong: a % c == 0 and b % (((c+cr) % b)+1) == 0. Why is this doing a % c, i.e. the cicada cycle modulo the simulation year?? It SHOULD be doing it the other way around: the simulation year modulo the cicada cycle. Meaningful variable names help! The fix is simple: the expression should be c % a == 0 and (c+cr) % b == 0. (also already described in my previous post)

> This version arbitrarily adds a random number 0 <= cr <= 99 to the starting year of the predator on each test

That's the right idea (though wrong implementation -- see above).
Not at all. I think many of the sponsors are providing huge value to the community and I don't see much point in reducing their involvement.

To all thinking of reading Ender's Game, do not expect some epic storytelling with the grandness of Asimov, Herbert or Tolkien, or the depth of a Greg Bear or Gibson, or intrigue of an Iain S. Banks or George R. R. Martin, or fortelling of an Arthur C. Clarke or Heinlein, etc.

The maturity, scope and content of the writing in Ender's Game's pales in comparison to many childrens books, modern or otherwise, including J.K. Rowling's.
