Not fair - you don't know how Khan Academy students are selected, you just claim its self-selection.
Cupertino schools ran a whole school year on Khan Academy - no self-selection there. So at least some of their numbers are meaningfully correlated to a general population.

And why should essentially randomly virally selected people be labelled self-selected, any more than any people who answer an ad for a psychological study? From those in the group, statistics can be gleaned by including factors like age and economics.

And there are lots of reasons a lecture you can repeat, stop, talk to a buddy about real-time is better than an assembly-hall lecture. This is obvious to those paying attention to the Khan Academy movement.

I had Radial Keratotomy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_keratotomy) done in 1991. It was done by hand with a SCALPEL. Valium was my friend that day.

I've had 20/20 vision until recently. I wore glasses from the time I was 9 years old until I was 21. I'm now beginning to see my age affect my vision (at 42). The surgery was a life-changing experience and the difference was immediate - I sat up from the surgery, looked out the window, and could see individual leaves on the trees outside.

There are always risks to be considered, though. I found out when going back in for a follow-up that a new test showed that my corneas were too thin. If I had come in as a new patient after that test was implemented, they wouldn't have done the procedure.

I'm not sure if I should feel lucky I went before that test was added, or just lucky I didn't have any issues.

Old computers have an odd mix of brilliant and awful keyboards.

Proper hardware switches (the IBM keyboard is well known) were reasonably common.

But the membrane keyboard of the Sinclair ZX 81; the rubber squidgy buttons of the Sinclair Spectrum; the square layout and keycaps of the Sharp MZ80k; there were many terrible keyboards.

ZX81 : (http://www.nightfallcrew.com/27/11/2012/sinclair-zx81-person...) -- The awful keyboard meant you had to push hard, which would wobble the machine, which would case the attached RAMPack to wobble and thus need the machine to be rebooted.

What the NY Times / Tesla Feud Tells Us about the future of Reviews
About 10 years ago I was about to undergo LASIK surgery. Fortunately before the surgery an eye doctor made put me through lots of tests, including one which measured the thickness (for lack of a better term) of the cornea. He suggested me not to undergo LASIK because in the medium/long term I could have complications, so I passed.

Fast forward 10 years, I have a colleague who had LASIK surgery done without those tests... he also has a thin cornea and now he is having a lot of problems with one of his eyes.

So I guess LASIK is not for everyone.
And you're letting your implicate trust and bias into everything that Tesla releases show. Tesla has just as much to lose in this whole ordeal and could just as easily be fudging the numbers.
What can be done to encourage NYT take appropriate action here? An apology is the very least they could do, and firing John Broder for a complete lack of journalistic integrity wouldn't hurt either. Would writing to them help? Spreading the news to other media outlets? What's the best course of action? Inaction is just what they want so the whole thing blows over, I think in this case (when there's overwhelming evidence of foul play) we have a golden opportunity to get NYT to start straightening out their act.
I suppose one interesting thing about brands (or perhaps just Heinz) is that we assume they're local. I would have said Heinz was a British company, no question. Likewise with Kelloggs.
Off-topic: RapGenius should really open source their "Explain tooltips" with the inline explanation window. Awesome :)
That's a good point. Although, irrespective of how thoughtfully Tesla may have attempted to mitigate the fundamental problem through novel engineering, the reality seems to reflect something else. Having now entered the market in full swing, car owners are confirming this is a valid issue (especially in the very cold climate states).

To be fair though, sub-zero temperature battery issues generally affect EVs across the board.[1] However, Tesla is positioning itself as the first mainstream car manufacture to go all out on EV. Thus, surely the onus ought to fall with them, when it comes to educating the 'ICE(internal combustion engine)-driving' public as to the potential pitfalls and differences between ICEs and EVs? Instead the company seems to be ignoring the issue, hoping it will go away.

It's not within the public's experience, that if you leave your vehicle unplugged overnight, in extreme cold, the range can have reduced itself significantly by the next morning. Contrastingly, operating under normal conditions, the manual allegedly states (Page 25) about a 1% discharge rate per day. [2]

Now ordinarily I might say this is a once off. But it would appear, lack of adequate customer education is a recurring concern.

Consider the case of an early adopter (Max Drucker) that had his Tesla Roadster bricked [3][4]. He was told he needed to pay $40 000 for a new battery pack because he was 'negligent'. His transgression? Leaving it unplugged for 2 months in a temporary garage while renovating his home.

What could be negligent, is Tesla failing to highlight possible issues pertaining to their EV vehicles and how they differ from ICE expectations. Burying important or even critical details in the manual/warranty docket, seems questionable.

Still a huge supporter of what they are trying to achieve, but their refusal to admit any fault and tendency to blame the customer, is a tad off-putting.

No, the answer is better state

The problem is that the State (in the USA) is unwilling to be accountable. The current trend of just adding more of it in hopes that it will become better is sickeningly naive.

Regarding Nordic states and Somalia...

Nordic cultures are fairly homogenous. For thousands of years, if you weren't a cooperative with your neighbor and planning for the cold months; your genes left the pool. Nordic people are culturally and genetically predisposed to thrive in a collective. Great. Works for them.

Somalia is a fairly anything goes state under loose Shari'a law. Not too long ago, it was communist, and that was no picnic either. Really, Somalia lacks the basic Civil Society (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_society) framework needed for any political/economic system to do well.

> In some places they do it on the same day.

That's the case in Mexico. I was lucky because 10 years ago when I was about to have LASIK (in Cancun), the company that was going to do it had their laboratories completely destroyed due to a hurricane (in Cancun). For this reason they asked some private eye clinic to lend their equipment (for LASIK surgery). BUT this clinic examined throughly all the patients that went for surgery. At the end, I was not a candidate fro LASIK because my cornea is very thin.

So I would definitely suggest people not to scrimp on tests before the operation.

Spot on. Those figures make me shiver. Branding is just not worth it on food when you know about the details.

Small rant: I stopped buying brands years ago, avoid supermarkets like the plague and don't buy ready meals. Instead I purchase from wholesalers in bulk and grow a few expensive things (chillis, peppers, tomatoes, herbs etc). Granted I have to buy beans in 2kg tins and pasta by the 5kg bag from the wholesaler but my food bill for 2 adults and 3 children is around £200/month and we eat proper freshly cooked meals every day.

North Korea is at the end state of socialism. Hayek wrote a famous book called "The road to serfdom", and this prison camp, and the way the rest of NK citizens live is the serfdom he's talking about.

Once you accept that you're owned by "society", and that everyone is "responsible for the greater good" this is inevitably what you end up with.

You ask if they lack critical thinking or a critical mass. Both of these are true, they've been indoctrinated to believe in this system, except maybe the ones like the writer of this story who were born in a camp and got less indoctrination.

The sad thing is, you can see this very same thing play out repeatedly in history. The way the germans let the nazis take over, even after it was clear they were up to no good. The way there was no revolution to overthrow the soviet state in the USSR.

You see these same mechanisms happening here in america today-- people claiming that "health care is a right" which is essentially saying they have the right to enslave everyone else for their own benefit.

And there's the error- they think "the rich" or "everyone else" is going to be forced to pay for their wellbeing, never realizing that they are calling for their own enslavement.

Pair the idea that you have a "right" to make others pay for healthcare (and other things) with the claim by these same people that you don't have a right to self defense (eg: own guns.) The latter is even in the constituttion.

You'd think this would cause a dissonance in their head, but the party ideology is so strong they never connect the two.

And when americans are being herded into camps, long disarmed, and forced to work "from each according to his ability to each according to his needs".... they will wish they still had guns.

Schools teach people to be compliant little sheep and have done so for over a century, there's a distinct connection between government control over schools and lack of critical thinking in the populace.

Unless things turn around soon, the US will end up in some sort of terrible state. Not likely like North Korea or Nazi germany or the USSR, but we already are suffering from the economic destruction of these kinds of policies (and like NK citizens told to blame the US for their poverty, we're told to blame wall street, germans were told to blame jews, russians were told to blame "hoarders", etc. etc. etc.)

> elon musk accused the author of a significant detour in manhattan ... he provides zero proof the first thing happened

The journalist acknowledges that detour, but claims it wasn't significant.

He said the detour shouldn't have mattered because he only added two miles by going into Manhattan "stop and go traffic" via Lincoln tunnel instead of using the George Washington Bridge to follow I-95 bypassing Manhattan.

Assuming this journalist is familiar with NYC, that's the most damning comment he's made. His claim might play for anyone not familiar with the area, but if you're from around here, his claim that it only added two miles is hysterical.

As a local, I can tell you that's a difference of typically an hour and a couple gallons of gas, being generous. I've had that detour to drop a friend off in Chelsea add two hours before.

Only two miles may be true, but baldly mischaracterizes the energy cost.

To fill in a bit of detail in addition to the answer that treerex gave ...

On Linux and Mac OS X, we do have the command line tools. We have emacs integration available:

https://github.com/dylan-lang/dylan-mode

On Windows, we have a full IDE, including debugging, but it is a bit difficult to get running correctly as it requires having PellesC on the path (or a really outdated version of Visual C 6). The next release or two will simplify and improve this some.

There's some information about why the IDE is on Windows only and the status of our Windows support on the Dylan Foundry blog:

http://dylanfoundry.org/2013/01/23/windows-current-state-of-...

http://dylanfoundry.org/2013/01/18/why-is-the-opendylan-ide-...

Despite the IDE itself being Windows only, a lot of the backend code to support the IDE is part of the command line tools, but without a UI. This can be seen by a prototype web-based IDE that Bastian Muller was working on as a university project:

http://turbolent.github.com/hula-presentation/

One of the interesting tools that Apple had was one called Creole which was for making it easier to produce bindings for libraries in C, etc. The Gwydion Dylan team at Carnegie Mellon University produced a similar tool called "melange". I recently wrote about using melange to produce bindings for the nanomsg library:

http://dylanfoundry.org/2013/01/25/binding-nanomsg-with-mela...

In addition, melange documentation has recently been restored to a form where we can build and maintain it:

http://opendylan.org/documentation/melange/

As for the future ... it would be entirely possible to build some nice SublimeText integration, improve the emacs integration, build a web-backed IDE, get our UI toolkit (DUIM) up and running on Linux or OS X and start making the IDE work on those platforms, or many other possible projects in this area.

I've also been looking at writing some extensions or Python scripts to use with lldb and the binaries that we get from the Dylan compiler's C backend. That looks pretty promising and will be even more promising once the LLVM compiler backend is up and running.

The foundations are there and in general are pretty strong. We just need some help.
It's charitable to say that the title is a bit disingenuous. I agree that the story (as well as the ongoing discussion) is very much worth reading. The unnecessarily provocative title is only slightly distracting.
I'm surprised people are so surprised a NYT journalist might write pieces to suit his own agenda. This is the paper who employed and defended Judith Miller, the paper who didn't know Jayson Blair was plagiarizing and fabricating stories. The entire old-media setup is suspect at the best of times, these days, but the NYT is certainly one source you always have to take with a grain of salt.
Try fancy-schmancy maneuvers in the no-man's land of WW1 and you're done.

That's a common misconception about WWI, but it's really not true. At the beginning of the war the Germans came very close to out maneuvering the French army and seizing Paris with barely a fight, ending the war instantly. And on the eastern front the Germans very successfully used maneuver warfare to destroy one of the main Russian armies right at the beginning, allowing the Austrians to shift their troops south to compensate for their sudden betrayal by the Italians.

In the trenches themselves the Germans did use fancy maneuvers very successfully (see the other comment about stormtroopers), but contrary to popular opinion the trenches were never the real problem. Both sides were able to break through a trench line when they were willing to devote enough resources throughout the war.

The real problem was that once the line was broken, what do you do next? There was no motorized transport on the offence, soldiers had to travel on foot carrying all their food and supplies and nobody can keep doing that quickly for long. And the advancing soldiers had no way of communicating with command, meaning that they couldn't adapt their attack to changing conditions. By contrast, the defenders trying to contain the breakthrough had railroads and telegraphs to let them move around and communicate. So while both's side can and did create breakthroughs, the only effect was to move the front back a few dozen kilometers.

But of course, those factors aren't obvious to the naked eye like the trenches are, so are often forgotten.

By the time world war II rolled around attacking forces had internal combustion engines and the radio that let them have the same maneuverability and communications as the defenders. But as the Japanese and Germans found, while superior maneuver might let you defeat stronger foes, if you fight someone who is so much bigger that they can absorb defeat after defeat and still come on strong sooner or later they'll up their game, figure out how to fight as well as you do, and crush you.
