Sure, but this is one of the predictable downsides of Tesla's high-visibility, high-hype strategies. We shouldn't jump to conclusions, but we shouldn't be surprised that an attention-seeking company gets a lot of attention.
Can someone explain to me (a simple European scrub) why these sorts of lawsuits seem to invariably target Elon directly? Surely they should be directed at Tesla, you know the company that employed them? Does adding Elons name to the lawsuit actually do anything in US law? Or is it merely to gain publicity by adding celebrity to a complaint?
This has been reported before, though not for extensions specifically:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=329125

The result back then was that the reported behavior is in accordance with the CSP spec, so the issue was closed.

Maybe Chrome should change their default CSP for extensions that haven't declared one though to disallow blob: URLs.

U.S. scouts have a special society known as Order of the Arrow ("OA", https://www.cityonahillpress.com/2008/04/10/the-secret-behin...). There are various ceremonies and rituals involved, but I remember the trial my father described to me -- being sent out into the woods overnight with an egg, a single match, and not much else.
At the very least it would provide incontrovertible evidence that humans can effect the climate. As if there wasn't enough evidence already :(
You didn't address this idea that nuclear power does not require Iran to enrich uranium. The deal seems faulty if they can still enrich uranium, regardless if they were following it or not.
When you consider how rich and well-connected the players who stand to lose if Tesla wins, I don’t think it’s at all crazy to suggest that they are using some of that wealth to slow them down. If you happen to have 10 billion hanging around and there are billions more on the line, it’d almost be stupid not to. There’s no law against malicious short selling assuming you’re not outright lying about them in print. Oil companies have a the means, motive, and opportunity. Exxon Mobil alone made $20b in profit last year. 30% of TSLA is 12b or so. If they can delay the electric transition by a couple of years by kicking in a few billions along with the other big ones, that’s a great return on investment even if they take a huge bath on the shorts.

Can I prove that’s what’s going on? No, I’m just some dude on the internet. But it really is not implausible at all.

Hi, I'm maintainer of Wekan https://wekan.github.io . After original creator of Wekan, I have been maintaining Wekan since 2016-12 https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/FAQ#what-was-wekan-fork-... . Some stats at https://www.openhub.net/p/wekan .

1) Success is, does somebody continue to maintain project, and continue to code. There has been many contributors during these years, but it depends when each of them have time to contribute, or do they get busy doing something else.

2) I think it depends what software someone likes to use.

3) Architecture depends on decisions of original software creator. If someone is fixing bugs, adding features and improving architecture, it's OK.

4) Bus factor is mainly, is someone still using the software and interested in improving it. There are very many projects without maintainers.
"Night Infiltration" is one of the coolest activities I've had the pleasure of doing and I'm in my 30s now. I'm not sure how many troops do it. In my area, only our troop did it on our monthly camp out and I'm fairly certain our troop invented it, but that could be false.

https://boyscouttrail.com/content/game/night_infiltration-42...

The above blurb does it poor justice though. Imagine a boy-led troop with around 60 scouts on a camp out and nearly zero adult involvement outside of transportation. We had a leadership group of boys in highschool (usually 16 & 17 year olds) and they performed the roll of sentries (~6 boys) and they had flashlights. These represented sniper rifles. Each sentry got one shot (straight line...they can't wave it around) before having to loudly count to 10 representing reload time. I'm from the American south where hunting is big, so it wasn't uncommon for full on camoflauge from nearly all participants...even those rediculous suits you see snipers wear in movies. There is one hidden individual making a quite noise every 20 seconds or so (you'd have to be pretty close to hear it). There are two teams and each scout (X or O team) tries to sneak their paper message (X or O on it) to the hidden individual if they can find them. At the end of the game, the team with the most messages wins.

This is always at night and very dark in pretty thick woods. Running is absolutely forbidden as so many scouts have twisted ankles or even broken collar bones by running at night. If you get "shot" by a sentry, you have to go back to base to get another message (like respawning) and I think there is a wait period. If someone in your group finds the hidden agent, they'll naturally want to get the word out to all their fellow group without letting the other team notice, but it can sometimes be difficult. A fascinating and super fun game. In all the years I played as a non-sentry, I only found the hidden agent on my own a few times and with help a few more times. There were games when I never even found him and had to ask afterwards and was blown away by the location sometimes (inside a thorn thicket wth). It was always an amazing experience though. We played on a very large area too depending on forest density. The thicker the foliage, the smaller the need for additional area. Keep in mind that this is a pretty dangerous game from an injury frequency perspective. I'd also recommend the buddy system is used to prevent someone from getting injured and lost (think unconscious). I'd also only recommend playing in areas with no predatory animals (I wouldn't play this in New Mexico where bears and cougars exist).

My scouting group was fond of "dot-arrow" droppings. We were dropped blindfolded in the woods and only given a piece of paper with arrow symbols on it indicating the turns to take on the route. Of course we missed turns and got lost, but we had a radio for calling in for hints. In bigger forests, we would get survey maps of the area. Then it was a matter of figuring out where you are on the map at the drop point.

I have fond memories of those nights.

At this point, you clearly show that you have no understanding of export regulations or sanctions, and you're basically arguing that there can't be any because you've seen a well known company not block all access outright.

> I can never understand how people are complaining about this stuff. You willingly and knowingly sign a contract with the terms stated right there. Whose fault is that? The Chinese?

Have you ever done business with/in China? Contracts are treated like toilet paper, and most of the stuff OP is talking about probably may not have been written there in the first place.

It's definitely possible that the tech transfer provisions were there in clear black ink, and so the founders knew exactly what they were signing up for.

It's also possible that the condition was "we will invest on condition that we nominate the COO", and the COO then proceeds to filter all research/designs/etc back to the sister company. It's also possible that the contract says funding injections will be provided at milestone X, and up until that point the investor is saying "sure, no problem", then at the 11th hour the investor threatens to withhold it until you give them copies of all your research.

Having worked there and experienced all of this first hand, I think it's unlikely that it's as simple as you imagine.

Wow, it's incredible to read that you've been sick for TWENTY years before finally getting cured by fasting for two weeks.

> I went 2 weeks without food. Just water with a little bit of salt. No food. I took antibiotics the first week but not the second. I felt very sick. The fast ended. I had a vegetarian meal. I fell asleep. I woke up the next day and had a large vegetarian meal. That night I felt funny. The feeling was similar to that moment, if you have a flu, when the fever breaks. With a flu, you get sicker and sicker till a moment the fever breaks and then you know that your immune system has kicked in. That was exactly the feeling that I had then. After 20 years, my immune system had finally kicked in.

On a related note, you might want to take a look at fast-mimicking diets (FMD), and one of his more credible proponents, Dr. Valter Longo. I've met him personally, and read some of the papers and material that he has published. It strongly relates with the last part of your article, in which you are trying to guess why fasting cured you.

Happy to hear it ended well for you. I can't imagine how life has been for those twenty years, on and off antibiotics, never able to understand what the real problem was.
Your first two points are not really supported by facts. The nuclear deal had a relatively invasive verification regime. I also don't understand why people refer to Iran as the world's largest supporter of terror--what specific terror acts are we speaking of?

Any negotiated deal will have tradeoffs. The US's latest policy of total humiliation as articulated by Pompeo seems destined to fail. The regime is not going to sign for that and it will grow increasingly confrontational without options.
That’s not a dichotomy. Literally they could be both.

Big money has a lot of legal levers to keep their investments in dirty economy profitable that also make sense for them financially.

This isn't about a coordinated conspiracy although there have been multiple examples of such in the past in other situations. Multiple independent malicious actors through their own self interest if sufficiently capitalized can easily destroy a company through actions like this purely in the persuit of self profit.

What is this statistic supposed to prove? I would expect there to be more deaths from non-Teslas because non-Teslas make up a majority of the market and furthermore not every person with a Tesla uses autopilot and even those who do use autopilot do not use it all the time, so the chance the autopilot makes a mistake is minimized.

We do not know if autopilot reduces the number of deaths, so let's not overhype this technology. I would wager it increases the number of deaths because

1. Autopilot technology is not good enough to be used with 0% human intervention (i.e -- there are many edge cases where human intervention is required that autopilot cannot handle).

2. Even though statement 1 is true, drivers naturally treat autopilot as if it is capable of driving with 0% intervention, for example they might check their phone while the car is moving.

I'm one of those operations people who have been required by a legal department to block access from sanctioned countries - I've literally written the HTTP rules to deny access to folks like the original author.

I think about how the infrastructure I write and operate creates situations like these, and while I know I'm partly to blame, it's worth highlighting that this is a by-product of United Stats policies that create pressure on US companies. I'm most certainly _not_ a lawyer, but if this sort of thing bothers you, be cognizant of candidate policies about technology if you want to help enact change - because I doubt most companies will provide services to these and other regions if it'll break export law.

Visa: Emotional Tax and Privileged Passports
Yeah same here, fond memories of the 'droppings' I did as a kid.

It's probably worth pointing out that Belgian (and Dutch) woods are relatively safe: it would be difficult to get truly lost. The wooded areas are never more than a few km from civilization. I wonder if there is a spot that is more than 10 km from the nearest road/house/suburb. Also, there are (almost?) no acutely dangerous animals. The only thing we were watching out for were wild boar, but there weren't that many of those around back in the 80's/90's. These days there may be more wildlife to watch out for.

When we went on a 'dropping', there were no cell phones nor gps receivers. Just 'stafkaarten' (topographic maps) and a compass. It's easy now ;)

Interesting that this post is getting voted down. What did it say that offended so many people?

> Short sellers have been causing the company a lot of trouble

That seems objectively correct. The Tesla stock has been weighed down by an unprecedented amount of shorting—regardless whether or not you agree with the associated predictions.

> Musk is correct in pointing them out so that their activities become known.

This is an opinion. I suppose you could dispute the opinion that Musk should be doing that. But that's a reasonable opinion, isn't it? I'm confused.
Tesla is one of the most shorted stocks around.

There is no way you can get a rebate just by shorting the name.

You're probably thinking of the rebate rate, which is the money received by people long Tesla who are lending it out.
> Apparently there's a bit more to that. Tesla is very leveraged right now and apparently it would be an issue if the share price dropped too much, forcing Tesla to do some sort of liquidity event?

Umm, yeah. There is nothing special about that.

In fact that is the point.

They're side effects, but not entirely unintended.

If the head of that state (and party elites etc) don't meet the requests of the sanctioning states, the ensuing poverty can mobilize the impoverished masses. This can backfire and drive them to further nationalism/jingoism, but it opens a window of opportunity for the opposition (and, more cynically, covert agents and external forces).

"The nuclear deal had a relatively invasive verification regime"

A 'relatively invasive' inspection regime where you had to get permission in advance from Iran to visit 'military sites', and nearly all of the restrictions were temporary.

"what specific terror acts are we speaking of?"

There's a pretty massive civil war you may have heard of, where Iran is on the side which uses chemical weapons. Or maybe we could mention sending lots of IEDs to Iraq to kill Americans. Or bombing the AMIA center to kill Jews. And we can't forget the Rushdie affair. Really, the list is endless.

> So you want him to succeed?

Xi pursues many different objectives, and I don't know what most of them are. I suspect I would support some but not all of his objectives, and some but not all of the methods he's using to achieve those objectives. (I would say the same if you asked about almost any other world leader or political movement.) Therefore, I cannot answer your question with a simple yes or no.

However, the relevant question is much simpler: do I want Xi to follow policies that endanger stability and prosperity across Asia? The answer is a very clear no. So I really hope that his advisors will help him avoid such policies.
I would be interested in an invite as well.

> At least from a PR perspective you don't want to engage like this if you have nothing to hide.

Responding in public fashion is a rational choice for TSLA to make assuming:

1) There exist short sellers who are willing to engage in malicious activities that hurt shareholder value

2) Publicizing their efforts to fight back against said actors acts as a deterrent for further malicious activity.

I don't know for sure, but I think there's a reasonable likelihood that both these statements are true.
