I agree 100% on why I purchased FSD at $2k. But I'll add that I almost never use Autopilot, as I've had too many negative experiences with it. I do frequently use (and generally love) the smart cruise control feature, though - steering the car in traffic just isn't that much work for me and I don't have to worry about the car lunging to the side when an exit ramp splits off.
First, congrats to the entire team for the sum of their contributions.

Now I'm simply trying to be objective here. If we look at the main github repo https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging/graphs/contributors

She is contributor #4, with only 90 commits. Meanwhile, the #1 contributor, https://github.com/achael, has written over 850k lines of code.

Katie was making basic Python syntax errors only one year ago in the repo. Is she really behind the first black hole image?

There's another explanation for the statement above. The more you need the money, the grimmer the outlook is from the lender's perspective. So you're much more likely to secure capital/loan when you are already financially secure then when you are extended almost to the limit. And this is true regardless of the domain.

You give the money to make money so you're looking more at "sure wins" and less at risky bets.

>Since 2013 (when I started following Tesla stock), I have seen daily or weekly headlines about Tesla coming to an end.

I don't understand this argument. Not saying Tesla is Theranos, but Theranos ran on hope and dreams for 10 years. These things take time to play out.
I'd say that is just toxic feminism telling women they can't have men as role models. Why not?

Would they say women can not achieve what men can (at least in science, if not in physical endeavors)? Because if they say women can do that, then why shouldn't they take men as role models?

"Someone like you" - is for example a white man from a middle class background more like a white woman from a middle class background, or is that white women more like a black woman from a poor background? I think to say "biological sex" in that context is more defining for "likeness" in academia is a silly, toxic narrative.

In my youth, I personally also enjoyed books and comics with female heroines, and never thought that they shouldn't be my role models. I guess these days that wouldn't be possible anymore.
The demo looks great. Nice UI as well!

I built something similar a few years ago but we ran into people only wanting to run their prototypes for free. It was hard for us to convince people to use for PROD. How will you tackle this?
Which is why the US hates on Russia and China so much. They're their biggest competitors.
I think Obama and Bush really badly mishandled both Snowden and Assange. Heavy handed responses to both of them drove them into the arms of Russia. I don’t think either of them were Russian assets when they started.
My original comment is a criticism of how investment is allocated in society. Self-driving cars are (in my opinion) a much lower priority than public transport. If the current allocation mechanism prefers wasting billions (in mine, and the article's, opinion), over investing in a chronically underfunded public transport system then something is wrong at a high level.

Thanks for mentioning the Ted talk, I'm about to check it out now.

The first headline on Google for me when searching "black hole image" is this very BBC article.

It was clearly written to grab the reader's attention, and it grabs it away from the actual phenomenon as well as all of the other brilliant minds who came together to make this happen.

She led the CS team. But very-long-baseline interferometry has been around for half a century. Heino Falcke proposed the experiment. Shep Doeleman led the entire EHT initiative. Scientists around the world brought techniques to the table.

I imagine even Bouman takes issue with being labeled "the scientist behind the first image of the black hole". She is surely aware and appreciative of the massive international effort involved.
Even seemingly minor changes can be fraught.

The discussion about whether to use –,— or - takes several hundred thousand words, and went all the way to ArbCom. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitra...

I think every single one of US government's "espionage" charges over the past several decades ended in settlements.

Why would a government so keen on accusing people of espionage and no doubt wanting to set a precedent for various things being classified as espionage (such as leaks), settle so easily?

Well, because the charges have always been bogus and they know it. Daniel Ellsberg of the "Pentagon Papers" fame has made it extremely difficult if not downright impossible for the government to win in such cases.

If the US government will succeed in sentencing Assange, it won't be due to a espionage charge, but something else entirely, or at best, yet another plea bargain.
>He did not run to the UK. The charges in Sweden had been dropped and he was allowed to leave the country.

True - I'd forgotten that part.

In any case - the case was reopened in November 2010, and Assange didn't enter the embassy until June 2012. If this truly was some sort of grand conspiracy to get him extradited to the US, I'd imagine the CIA has more reliable and straightforward methods of arresting/disappearing someone.

In addition to the above, EU law forbids extradition chains (Assange extradited from the UK -> Sweden, and then Sweden -> US) without explicit permissions from all involved countries.
I think the criminal argument is that he was acting as a cutout for Russian intelligence with the dnc leaks.
Well Moody's thinks the Toyota x Panasonic is credit positive… not sure they would think they same of Tesla acquisition at $2xx/share… though maybe Toyota would be interested (among others) in swooping up assets pennies on the dollar from default in an auction…

> Extradition request from US confirmed

> Scotland Yard has confirmed that Assange was arrested on behalf of the US after receiving a request for his extradition.

> In a statement it said:

> Julian Assange, 47, (03.07.71) has today, Thursday 11 April, been further arrested on behalf of the United States authorities, at 10:53hrs after his arrival at a central London police station. This is an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the Extradition Act. He will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court as soon as possible.

> Swedish woman being paid by the CIA

Your comment is the only one I've read today that uses the word 'paid'; it doesn't look like anyone believes that.

The argument is that the victim(s) of this 'sexual assault' charges doesn't seem to think they are that big of a deal; and the charges do not, in and of themselves, warrant the complicated mess of extraditions that the Swedish prosecutor has triggered.

We should assume the Swedes are making a big deal for internal political reasons or that the US is working behind the scenes; because the alternative is a level of bloody-minded madness being conducted on behalf of the Swedes. Nobody in their right mind would be pursuing a case so frivolous across borders with attempts at arresting Assange.

If I recall correctly one of the charges was almost consensual sex bar a condom; if that is an arrest-worthy charge there are not enough prisons on the planet. I don't know the statistics, but they are not going to be pretty for that sort of thing. The reasonable punishment is - at most - going to be some combination of fines, STD tests and maybe a travel ban from Sweden on character grounds. What has actually happened is absurd and unjustifiable.
reply to the edit:

Well, when I was working in the City and living in south London I used to take the DLR (which is a self driving train btw) and walk for 10min.

I can confirm that there were drivers on the streets as well as cyclist, pedestrians, bus riders, tube riders and so on.

All of those at their limits at rush hour. Later the city banned private vehicles from certain locations at rush hour, so you can do such changes to favour one transportation method over the othet but it's far from solving it. It's a very hard problem, very unlikely to be solved without redesigning the city.
What's so damning about that convo? Try reading that conversation with the assumption that WL is a neutral party that wants to advance its own interests:

- leak more documents(Trump tax returns)

- get more publicity(asking Trump Jr to retweet/push their stories and lead viewers to their site)

- fight allegations of partisanship(publish anti-Trump documents)

How else would you approach Donald Trump Jr in this conversation? You need to give him some reason to help you.
I assume the web is slow today due to packing a couple megabytes of libraries, and adware / tracking malware, into each page load. More so than two milliseconds of jank in how you constructed that SELECT pulldown.

I don't believe that contemporary webdev's main problem is how we construct a SPA. I think it's the assumption that everything needs to be a SPA.
Yeah it is pretty much De Jure vs. De Facto. they may have De Jure access, but De Facto they do not.
Yes, the fact that Assange is prominent is obviously a factor. But that doesn't mean that there's some kind of sinister motive for enforcing the law in this case. Consider that the UK police spent £11m looking for a single missing child (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/police-madel...). Would they spend that much on a child who wasn't in the news? No. But I'm sure the people looking for her genuinely wanted to find her.
Wouldn't a better solution be to read news but not be outraged by it?

These studies indicate a mechanism of EMF stimulation on voltage-gated ca++ channels.

Personally, I've never noticed issues with RF-EMF until I tested my sleep using the oura ring. WiFi didn't seem to bother my sleep but shutting off the power to my bedroom at the breaker improved my sleep tremendously. Even if their effects on sleep are small, the negative, non-linear health impact of sleep loss is significant...to me.

Maybe in 20 years we'll view EMFs akin to cigarettes, maybe not. I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat just yet but it has changed the way I intreact with these non-native frequencies. It seems prudent to take simple precautions like avoiding microwave use, utilizing airplane mode and turning off/unplugging appliances, lights and WiFi when not in use.

I don't know what took Panasonic so long... Tesla is done.

Too bad they have already plundered billions in subsidies other forms of taxpayer money. But this is a good first step. More fun to come when Tesla owners realize their cars have no resale value.
There is a lot of appeal to emotion in your post.

Can we both agree that war is bad and things are always more complex than they seem? In the grand scheme of things these events rank pretty low on the list of priorities when you are fighting a war.
Unfortunately for Tesla, at its current valuation, nobody is going to buy it.

The race now is between established players catching up to Tesla and its technology, and Tesla catching up to established players with their capacity to produce cars at scale.
As someone who has gotten the maximum end of that upper range for the most bogus (and illegal) charge possible after trying to fight it in court instead of tucking my tail between my legs... Yes. You are correct. An overwhelming majority of judges take their jobs very personally and imagine themselves to be infallible embodiments of the law.
Julia Gillard [then PM of Australia, 0]. The Australian governments mild condemnation of Assange as the situation unfolded was as disappointing as it was predictable. US lap-dogs and all that.

Their pnl can tell you that. They certainly are wonderful businesses for investors. The only problem is that they don't need investors' money. All investor demand does is enrich previous investors. It doesn't enable/change anything that outside exists outside of bank accounts.

Investment in a manufacturing company like Tesla enables more cars to be built, technology to progress and probably lots of 2nd order effects via their supply chain.
Okay, let's look at a hypothetical - you say the investigation was dropped because they couldn't interview him. What is the practical difference to the investigators if they interview him and he says "I refuse to comment on anything"? There must be some way to move forward without cooperation from the accused - Assange isn't the first person to flee a country pending an investigation. Why didn't they do so?

Looking at Swedish law, they have a rough equivalent of Miranda - https://open.karnovgroup.se/processratt/fuk Section 12(google translate):

- Do not have to comment on the suspicion and not otherwise have to contribute to the investigation of their own debt
Agreed with you that her accomplishment is great.

As in engineering, it's helpful to use proper terminology with people:

if using a gender is necessary for the narrative …

- under 13: girl

- 13 – 18: girl / teenager / young woman (depends on context; 16? – 25?)

- 18 or over: woman
>An investment in the gigafactory would be more like investing in a new city. It actually results in buildings, but isn't going to be attractive to investors, because... because it isn't a zero sum game.

Sorry, but businesses raise money for capital projects all the time. Tesla, itself, has raised billions to get to where they are today.

Maybe the Money People are smarter than you think, and are looking at the state of Tesla's business and saying, "if we lend them money for a factory they might not even require, will we ever be paid back?"
Yep, That just happened. Noction released a Free T1 Carriers monitoring service
That is exactly what AMP is attempting to be. It's a subset of HTML and CSS which guarantees that the site can be preloaded in a privacy-preserving way. There are a lot of things sites want to do that can't be done in pure HTML and CSS and allowing full use of JS would be incompatible with this goal, so that gap is filled with open source libraries.

(Disclosure: I work at Google on Ads, and I work with the AMP folks a bunch. Speaking for myself, not the company.)

You're assumption that it'd move server side is incorrect. It would simply disappear. When you use a javascript library the browser has to process and load all the functions in the library, even the functions that aren't used. This wastes memory and processing cycles on the client computer.
If it was, WikiLeaks would have leaked the details by now.
Is anyone knowledgeable about the project calling it a "photo" (i.e., the term you used) or are they calling it (more accurately) an "image"?

My take in response to your original question is that it seems like nitpicking or armchair quarterbacking or something else related to that.

I'm always wary of succumbing to the "appeal to authority" fallacy, but this does seem like a case where all the experts and leading figures in a field are saying this is a big deal, and publishing a lot of info about it, so the right approach just seems to be to take the time to read/listen to what they're saying and learn, rather than posting simplistic skeptical questions in web forums.

If you didn't intend to come across that way, then perhaps rethink your question or the way you worded it.
I find it hard to believe the most popular short around is actually good value to short much as I would with the most popular long.

I think he is in disguise! The difference the beard makes, he used to have stature on the balcony with his hairdo of a year ago, now he physically looks little.

Interesting how the UK laid siege to the embassy at vast expense. Had they not done that and just snitched silently with someone watching the normal CCTV that the UK is famous for then they would have had him getting used to nipping outdoors. But no, they made an example of him, and at considerable taxpayer expense.

It would only be a matter of time before the government of Ecuador would change to an American rather than a Bolivarian one, so even if they could not coax him out by having the absence of police then he would get himself having 'new landlords'.

Regarding Sweden, women are not 'mere chattel' in Sweden. To claim that the original allegations were just trumped up US bullshit is nonsense and a failing to understand that Swedish law is serious about equality. I don't think that the English speaking nations are anywhere near Sweden when it comes to treating everyone equally in law.

The law is a double edged sword, Assange could have understood Swedish law a bit better and respected it. That would have served him better than British law.
In practice though, msft, Google & FB have much better moats, via network/platform effects.

Kulfon [1] is a static site generator that compiles Org Mode to HTML without using Emacs. You can just drop `.org` files in a directory and run a one-command tool to make this work. I use it for my website, mostly to write blog posts. It is also possible to mix Markdown and Org Mode files in a single project/directory.

Kulfon is my own project, so take it with a grain of salt. I've decided to focus on Org Mode as I also believe this format doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It doesn't mean Markdown is bad, au contraire, it is almost perfect. In Org Mode, for instance, I still cannot get used to the source code blocks. It is, however, good to have a choice.

The Org Mode support in Kulfon is not perfect yet, but good enough for most situations. It is based on a JavaScript plugin by Xiaoxing Hu called orgajs [2]. You can use it directly in your project.

One of the motivations for building a SSG with Org Mode was Org Brain [3]. I have a plenty of interconnected notes that I would like to publish on my website « as-is ». This would be rather difficult to do using Markdown format.

Nice! It's all about use case - for example, creating an invoice on a mobile device with spotty connectivity will not work.

However, the approach of starting like you have, and adding JS only if explicitly required is great.

I honestly don't know what assange or wikileaks thought was going to happen when they leaked information that was politically embarrassing to an Ecuadorian ally.

On the plus side, I'm now far more convinced of WikiLeaks' non-partisanship (or naivete), since they threw their own founder under the bus.
From the same Guardian article:

Sweden’s chief Prosecutor Ingrid Isgren, has issued this statement: “This is news to us too, so we have not been able to take a position on the information that is now available. We also do not know why he is under arrest. We are following the developments.”

So, yes, he was arrested on behalf of the US and not Sweden.

He's an Ecuadorian citizen. Does the Ecuadorian law allow for the extradition of Ecuadorian citizens? It's quite common for this to be illegal.

Of course this wouldn't be your typical extradition as he was already on UK ground, but I think it would not be unreasonable for a court to view this as an extradition.
Because it will be huge, like the iPhone. No one wants to be left out.
How should it have been "handled" in your opinion? 'Protect the whistleblower' or take out the 'threat to national interests'?
I don't think there was ever any doubt that once in police custody in the UK they will promptly present him to the US authorities. The nature of the relationship between the 2 countries precludes the UK from taking a stand against any such requests.
