Not sure about that. What cake are we talking about? Incumbents aren't going to be voted out due to this regardless of whether it passes or not. Voters will forget and/or make excuses rather than voting for someone who respects our rights in the primaries and probably the general election as well.
"We have no real choice!" Well, perhaps that is because no one votes for the choices that do come up in the primaries.
"Well I didn't hear about those guys running on a platform of repeal CISPA, the MEDIA was keeping them down, and they wouldn't have won anyway!" Maybe if you had voted for them or shown any interest in them, done your fucking homework, the media would have realized you're interested and reported it. Maybe if you had given money to them, they would have been able to pay for ads and get noticed.
"THEY won't let us get real change!" "They" don't really have to lift a finger if none of you vote to change it, or bother giving any money.
I don't, by the way, think this is wildly optimistic. In fact, I think it's pessimistic: I don't believe there's a crafty conspiracy against us, I think we the people are just so stupid, lazy, and ignorant, that our rights can be taken away if there's a single industry who wants to claim them.
If the cake is "They'll have the issue again next time to get bribe money from the interested parties," then maybe. Of course, that wouldn't be different if Obama didn't say he'd veto it: if they didn't support it, the industries who want this wouldn't give them campaign money anyway.
Scenario seven: you're some royal line, trying to keep the Iron throne in the family. You jokingly check phones. Uh oh, someone was actually adopted...
Also seems like it could be super awkward from start to finish.
Scenario one: You think you're hitting it off. You suggest tapping phones. You find out you weren't hitting it off.
Scenario two: You are actually hitting it off. You think tapping phones would be good so you don't spend too much time wooing someone who may turn out to be a closer relative than you'd like. The other party was having a good time, but now it's a little more obvious that you want to mash genitals together, and there's increased sexual tension, making it more stressful for them or for you, and you ruin it.
Scenario three: You are hitting it off, have successfully navigated increasing sexual tension, not too fast and not too slow. You are about to start making out, but then you decide to check. This kills the mood.
Scenario four: you hit it off, you don't rush things, you don't kill the pre-makeout mood, you're already swapping saliva. You check right before putting on the condom. Network lag, it takes a few minutes before you get the results back, the guy becomes nervous in the meantime, and can't perform.
Scenario five: you hit it off, you don't rush things, you don't kill the pre-makeout mood, you check while putting on the condom... and it's positive, you two are second cousins twice removed or something. I think it's second cousins who can, statistically speaking, reproduce and their chances of having recessive alleles show up is not any more likely than someone who is not related, so it's not inbreeding genetically. But it's still... weird. Do you go ahead and screw? Do you look up on wiki examples of other couples who were related in the same way?
Scenario six: you're already married, and your wife is going into labor with your first born. It takes quite a while, and you're bored, so you test this on a lark and... oops... you're twins separated at birth. Awkward.
I'd wager that hardware revenue alone would make it worth it if glass is "the next big thing." I'd also wager that cutting out the middleman between google and consumers, and potentially being squeezed out such as happened with apple, makes it even more worth it. Say MS starts going around to android hardware manufacturers and saying "Okay, you won't have to pay us to license those patents you infringed on (translation: used android) if you start shipping firmware that routes every search through Bing instead of google." Apple and Facebook team up too maybe. And google starts losing users.
Or has that already happened? I don't know, I find legal insanity either boring or infuriating, so I try to ignore it usually.
Er... who says that exactly? I could see the French saying that I suppose, but I thought it was just they looked down their noses past their pencil mustaches at everyone for not being French.
It doesn't seem to me like your scenario would change if I legally owned the phone: if samsung decides my phone doesn't need updates, I don't get updates regardless of whether I'm "leasing" the phone, renting it, or whether I have bought it.
I think it's the consumers. Those 40% of android users running gingerbread, not all of them want to but cannot upgrade. I've talked to three people total about their android phones, none were aware there were different versions. My dad's phone can be updated, but he won't let me because he doesn't want anything to change.
Were consumers to demand updates, updates would happen. How many phones out there can't take cyanogenmod or some other custom rom which is updated anyway?
You'd "imagine" he gets ricin laced letters or something similarly dangerous in the mail every day, but the white house still accepts letters?
I disagree. I think this is actually a rare event, and the timing with the bombing is actually suspicious.
I agree that ultimately, this will only end in us ceding more rights to fight the threat of terrorism, which is a threat comparable to being killed by a radioactive alligator-man.
Perhaps he was overstating the current situation, "media creation" seems unlikely, but most people don't do much besides internet browsing and typing on their laptops, which phones can handle. From what I've heard, the motorola atrix keyboard and monitor were a bit gimmicky, but I think before too long, that will be satisfactory for most people.
I was asking the same thing about smartphones and then tablets. I was obviously wrong, they have advantages over a computer or a dumb phone that make more of a difference than I gave them credit for. The segway, on the other hand, doesn't do anything that your legs don't already do. All it does is waste money and make you look like an idiot.
A hands free smartphone that you don't have to look at sounds like it could at least be marginally more useful, so that I would risk looking like an idiot to use, if the price is right.
I didn't think the rail was that bad when I visited. Japan seems to be the only place that is doing trains WELL. I have no idea why theirs is working. I've heard that homogenous societies tend to spend more on public good than heterogeneous societies do, so perhaps they're less stingy with their maintenance costs than the rest of us are because they identify more with the other riders. Here in Chicago, it seems like everyone hates the CTA, including the CTA itself, because it's so crappy, so why spend serious money improving it?
Japan spoiled me, I can't stand driving to commute anymore.
Maybe instead of sarcasm, you should assume Gordo is not an idiot, and that he would have noticed if all his coworkers simultaneously turned on their phones every day at the same time.
They are trying to be clever, edgy and push the envelope... but doing so in a manner that copies Apple, and tries to go one step further. So they not only lose the 'clever' appearance, for a copycat appearance, but they are copying some of the worst changes for the desktop environment, that Apple is making.
You make it sound like copying something is inherently bad. It's not. Things that work SHOULD be copied (legal stupidity aside.) I don't care if windows is doing something first as long as it's useful and works well. Originality is not an issue with me when it comes to software. Why would it?
No, the point is to troll. Not even a decent attempt. Trolling so blatantly, I really just don't understand how anyone gets any pleasure out of it.
Making people think you're serious and getting them upset, that's childish, but at least I can understand the thrill from when I was that childish. But essentially screaming "I AM TROLLING! EVERYONE GET MAD AT ME!!! LOL!!!" seems like it would be as entertaining as cheating at solitaire. Anyone acting upset at the troll is trolling as well. So I guess it would be closer to multiple people somehow cheating at solitaire and then laughing at how easy it is to cheat at solitaire.
The Slashdot summary and 3rd party source says "skin cells", but the paper indicates the specific cell type used were "mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs)"
Well, fibroblasts are common in the skin, and you can easily get fibroblasts from taking a small patch of skin. You're right that they're not the keratinized cells that make up most of the skin, but they are in the skin.
Induced OPC cells integrate into their normal niche, insulating neurons (at least at the cellular level). Didn't see much discussion of whether or not it altered the hypomyelinated ("shiver" mouse) phenotype.
It did restore at least some myelination but not all of the axons, and I didn't see anything about it improving the shivers.
PS. Got off topic there. Anyway, here is the figure in question, I tested it on my phone, that shouldn't be behind a paywall. LM and N are the panels to focus on. It appears that not all the axons are myelinated, but the ones that are look like they're completely ensheathed.
Searching for "shiver" I didn't see anything about a reduction in shivers in the treated mice. That would have been pretty huge had it rescued the "symptoms" of the condition, so I'm going to assume that at this first pass it wasn't enough to "fix" these mice enough to detect. It would have been really nice had it done that, but this is just a first pass. Hopefully subsequent studies will refine the process to the point where most of the axons are remyelinated, then it may actually fix MS or other diseases.
They used "shiverer" mice, a mutant line in which myelin of the central nervous system is affected, and these cells appear to rescue it.
We studied the ability of 8TF-induced MEFs to myelinate axons of hypomyelinated shiverer (Mbpshi/shi) mice, which completely lack MBP and compact myelin and serve as a model of congenital dysmyelinating disorders...ultrastructural analysis by electron microscopy showed that the cells generated multilayered compact myelin sheaths around hypomyelinated shiverer host axons in slice culture
If you're wondering, here is a link video showing why they're called "shiverer." Be forewarned, it's a little disturbing to watch them. I say that having done mouse brain research myself. The reeler mice I've seen in person (Er, seen in mouse) are actually kind of cute, they stagger around like they're drunk (not the best video, but here. These shivering mice on the other hand, I don't know. I just want to put them out of their misery.
What are the specific problems in the examples you bring up? Privacy is my right, and google should only have information on me I want it to, I'm not trying to make an argument here, nor am I defending google. I just would like to have an answer if I get into a discussion with someone if they ask "What's the problem with google knowing what I search for on google, or knowing my real name on my youtube account?"
