Wikileaks confirmed that the infringing tweet was about Spain: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/979107967768330240

> Wikileaks editor @julianassange has been gagged and isolated by order of Ecuador's new president @Lenin Moreno. He cannot tweet, speak to the press, recieve visitors or make telephone calls. Ecuador demanded that he remove the following Tweet:

> [Assange's tweet] "In 1940 the elected president of Catalonia, Lluís Companys, was captured by the Gestapo, at the request of Spain, delivered to them and executed. Today, German police have arrested the elected president of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, at the request of Spain, to be extradited."

> This is the only tweet the government of Ecuador asked to be removed. In an email to his London lawyers on 27 March at 14:54 BST the Ecuadorian foreign ministry referenced no other matter.
John Thompson, Hedge Fund dude:

. . . As a reality check, Tesla is worth twice as much as Ford* yet Ford made 6 million cars last year at a $7.6 billion profit while Tesla made 100,000 cars at a $2 billion loss.

Further, Ford has $12 billion in cash held for “a rainy day” while Tesla will likely run out of money in the next 3 months.

Please stop repeating this.
when asked: "tesla is an infrastructure company" or "tesla is a battery company" (well no panasonic is...) or "tesla is an energy company" (slightly more realistic since they bailed out solarcity) or "tesla is a self driving car company" (which as you point out: they're not any further than anyone else).
The only "work that matters" is growing food and service people. The rest of this up and coming technology bubble is hubris.
Sure, it's just a lot more likely that it's stuff we can't see than our fundamental understanding of a loooot of other things is so incredibly wrong while still being very accurate in practice. I'm sure there are people putting effort into trying to reconcile things in that direction though.

You’re probably witnessing a prelude to a correction later this year.

Debt markets are tightening up and junk companies will not survive. They need to raise north a billion this year. It’s reasonable to be a bear, unfortunately.

If you like Tesla cars, the best investment in them is to see which automaker is best positioned to pick up what’s left.
They're not meeting production goals and at the same time have been losing more money as production has increased. Both of those things are company killers that need to change ASAP.

Moody's downgraded their debt and it has indeed been plummeting, that's not a creation of the media at all. It's actually the opposite of your claim. If this were any other auto company other than Tesla the stock would be nearly worthless, the media has hyped this thing to the stratosphere.
You are! My top score in 10m of play: one line. One.
Production is up a bit this week, according to Bloomberg.[1]
1076 units of the Model 3 last week. The plant is supposed to produce 5,000 units a week. Costs are at the level for 5,000 units, while revenue is a fifth of that. That's what's killing Tesla financially.

When Musk first announced the proposed Model 3 production schedule, his two top manufacturing executives quit. They knew that the shortcuts Musk wanted to take, like skipping debugging of the assembly automation at the supplier's factory, wouldn't work. They were right.

It's not "magic" it's a model that fits the observations: otherwise known as science. Let's be clear here, every other model does not explain the observations, by a pretty significant margin. Moreover, the concept of weakly interacting massive particles is not outlandish, we already know of some particles that behave very similarly (neutrinos).

Is the (assuming it's true, but it seems plausible) situation that the majority of users searching for "black girls" actually do want to find sexual content instead of simply smiling faces a flaw that needs correcting? Is their intent unfair in some way, are their sexual preferences unacceptable?

If I don't like what I see in my mirror, will putting makeup on the mirror improve my face? Will removing naughty sites from the search results somehow change the fact that "black girls" (or "asian girls", or "czech girls", etc) is not usually used as an innocent search term?
I once heard a truism that projects slip by the units in which they're measured. If the due date is in weeks, it will slip by weeks. Months, months. Etc. I think HSR is being measured in years, Tesla seems to be less (I don't follow them). Point being: "slipping" by itself does not necessarily set up an apples to apples basis between different kinds of projects.

I wonder if an open source platform and protocol for messaging and contacts would have the potential to confront all the Facebooks, Whatsapps, etc

I am not talking about broadcasting / sharing. Just messaging and contacts (a listing where you can publish your latest contact data).

So many people say that they would leave FB but they have no other means to contact many of their friends on their list. So is there anyone who can offer a solution for just this?

Email is a protocol that works very good. So is sms. Platform and provider independend. - Something as successful as email with a listing of people and auto-updating contacts list (details only shown to someone that I allow).

Having a moronic goal doesn't make one a Russian agent, though.
> In this case: Assange/WikiLeaks have an agenda: to hit America where it hurts, by exposing their actions on the world stage and by creating as big a rift between the different political sides in the United States as they could manage

That might explain Assange’s US-related actions, but not those related to Catalonia or a number of other issues, all of which align with Russian interests and Russian propaganda conducted through other channels.

If Assange isn't a Russian asset, he simply has an amazing coincidental multidimensionsl confluence of interests with Russia. At some point, collaboration becomes more plausible than coincidence.

Their policy when I signed up stated they would not charge me anything until the card was received. Really shady company.

Microsoft is coming back in a big way though. Sure, it may not have the dominance it used to have but they've learned from the problems of the Ballmer era. Satya Nadella seems to be a huge proponent of meeting customers where they are and it's paying off in a huge way.

If Facebook learns to listen to their customers the way Microsoft has (as opposed to trying to tell them what they want) then they could recover. But with Facebook, users are starting to have large issues with its core business model, and to listen to customers and adopt the changes they want, it would cost them too much and would eventually disappear as so many others have before them.

The UK government can be wrong, but it the absence of any plausible alternative candidates, it's probably right to conclude the perpetrator is the party known to have carried out similar attacks against similar targets using similar deniable but too sophisticated to be regular criminal means using a murder weapon identified as one they are known to have created. Especially when their public response is trolling and branding the victim a traitor rather than alarm.

Counterpoint: I've made a 20-year career out of doing exactly this role, and it's been great for my career and for my teams. For me it's just another level of the specialization question. Just like being a specialist in some hot field will get you outsized compensation from a Google or an Amazon, it will also make you struggle in environments where you have to wear more hats. If you want to remain a pure IC and move up the technical ladder, you are A) limiting yourself to companies that have an honest IC tech ladder and B) at the mercy of whatever management you happen to land under.

Even your "best case" scenario is someone who is laughably incompetent at management, akin to a programmer failing fizzbuzz. Obviously there is some truth behind the stereotype of the incompetent manager promoted up from an IC role, but management is a skill that has to be learned. No one is surprised that it takes years of intense practice to become a competent programmer, but somehow there seems to be this feeling that management is based on intrinsic unlearned "soft skills". Nothing could be further from the truth. To be a good hybrid tech lead you have to first understand that management is a skill, and that the success of your team is by definition more valuable than your IC contributions.

Obviously doing this hybrid role comes at a cost in each of the respective skills, but having both management skills and technical skills in one brain is highly valuable in many situations. First of all, it's a clear win in early-to-mid-stage startups where you're too big to have everyone in a daily standup, but not big enough where you can justify the overhead of full-time managers. But more generally, as a hybrid tech lead, I can communicate up, down and laterally with more efficacy across the board. When communicating up or laterally I can more effectively speculate and brainstorm about technical approaches at an earlier stage without disrupting other devs who are in a flow state or are liable to get stressed out by blue sky ideation when they feel management does not respect the work that will get dumped on them. When communicating down, I can speak the language of the front-line engineers, and garner a lot more respect than a manager who offhandedly makes clueless statements that undermines their authority based on unfamiliarity with the code.

One way I can be optimally deployed is to build a new team from scratch. I can build a prototype and engage cross-functionally by myself initially, and then if it turns out to be something we want to invest in, I can smoothly add in other resources, recruiting from other teams, or hiring them myself if necessary. Unlike a pure IC I will not chafe at my shifting responsibilities, I will embrace the management aspect and be happy to turn over authority of the code base to new blood coming in.

I'm not a perfect manager by any stretch, I see a bit of myself in some of the horror stories for sure, and I learned a lot of lessons the hard way. However the hybrid qualities pay huge dividends. Specialization is for insects.
"Embrace, extend, extinguish"

-Microsoft's old motto. This is exactly how they previously did business and still do, frankly.

Facebook's core business functions purely on user data though and that's how they use the rest of their businesses to make money. If traditional Facebook dies their other businesses won't be far behind without significant change that doesn't disrupt revenue.

IBM did have the vision - or at least one small division in IBM did. They set out to make a (relatively) affordable (relatively) high performance business computer. And they succeeded.

Compaq, Dell, Gateway, and the rest took the idea and ran with it. But it wouldn't have happened without IBM.

Of course the PC was a technological cripple compared to Commodore hardware - somewhat compared to the C64, and very much so compared to the Amiga.

Unfortunately that's not the point. Businesses wanted packaged systems with software, not games with sound and sprites. That's what IBM set out to provide, and that's what they provided. (In spite of themselves - but even so.)

The competition wasn't from Commodore - the PET was considered a risky toy - but from S100 systems at one end, and massively more expensive DEC/DG/IBM minicomputers at the other. The high prices of the latter and limited performance of the former made the PC look like a bargain to corporates, even though its price looked ridiculous to consumers.

there are alternate theories of gravity that attempt to explain observed galactic rotation without ‘missing particles’, but they are not as convincing. iirc, the most difficult thing for them to explain is the Bullet Cluster.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Cluster

you’re right in saying this is the first observation that actually fits our gravitational model without missing particles, and that’s why it’s so interesting. it’s much harder to claim your alternate theory of gravity behaves differently around this special galaxy than it is to say there was some event that resulted in the missing particles not being found next to the baryonic matter in the galaxy.

Selling 40,000 or 50,000 units in the first year for a new electric car, would be a solid accomplishment.

Infiniti sold something like 60,000 Q50s globally in 2017 by comparison, for a sedan line they've been selling for decades (the G37 & G35 prior).

Nissan only sold 27,000 Leafs in the US + Europe in 2017, after seven years of availability.

TSLA is down 28% this month. How much lower would it have to go before you were convinced that the market is "actually" worried about insolvency?

It is more absurd. Firstly, WIMPs do not "behave unlike anything we've observed". They behave similarly to neutrinos except are much more massive and instead of almost always having so much energy that they travel at relativistic speeds they travel at much slower speeds. No new fundamental forces are required to explain WIMPs, they are simply particles we haven't discovered yet. Given that in the 20th century alone we discovered photons, protons, neutrons, anti-particles, quarks (and their whole family of composite particles in the form of baryons and mesons), neutrinos, and weak bosons while in the 21st century we've discovered the Higgs it would be ridiculous to say that new particle discoveries are beyond the realm of possibility. Moreover, we know that the standard model of particle physics is incomplete due to the existence of neutrino oscillations (among other things). So we can be fairly confident there are new particles yet to be discovered, and we have a model of dark matter which fits a hugely diverse set of data fairly well that no other model fits. To deny that dark matter is the best model for the data at present is nothing more than superstition.
