The later stages were coordinated with the local Thai rescue team. As proven by email exchange Elon published.

This has no substance whatsoever. I would expect more on HN.

Indeed, Gandi did not actually obtain the domain. But merely offered to try to bid with the money once the price of the domain reached that point where it was available for that price.

In my case, that failed. The domain was purchased by someone else at a higher price.

I now have to fight to get my money back into my bank account. Gandi made their life extra hard by not being fully transparent.

I was confused because gandi and 101domains did not explicitly state the phase. And gandi took my money and deducted it from my account but apparently did not actually obtain the domain yet.

101domains wanted to charge me ~13,000 USD for a domain / year.

gandi, however, allowed me to purchase it (the same domain!) for ~650 GBP / year.

What is going on?

The main competitor German car manufacturers see (internally) is Tesla. This is what they fear right now.

I think you are totally right. As far as I understand, CNNs rely on the correlation of neighbouring pixels. And so directly applying them to vector graphics won't work.

However, vectorisation has massive downsides as well.

I will try to summarise it in some article. This had nerd-sniped my brain and so I need to write it down. Even if I have no solution for the problem yet.

Happy to send you a link to the draft once I have it so you can comment.

I am a PhD student and currently writing a blog post on how Deep Learning can be used in combination with vector graphics.

Do you have any ideas / remarks on this? What are the general options of applying Deep Learning to vector graphics (as input and/or output)?

(1) You offer an API that takes a download link as a parameter.

(2) I send a request to your API with the download link where the SVG can be found.

(3) You download the SVG and prepare design options for the customer. You respond to me with a purchase link for my customer.

(4) I forward the link to my customer and earn a small provision if the customer purchases any goods with that design of his.

TSLA stock fluctuations really keep me on my toes. -10% on one day, +10% on the other. It is an emotionally charged stock.

Martin Luther was an anti-semite and called for synagogues to be set on fire. Not a good comparison.

And that is a _good_ thing.

E.g.: Focus on investigative journalism - << After publishing the Panama Papers, in 2016, Krach declared Der Spiegel’s monopoly on investigative journalism in Germany over. Part of this push, he said, arose from the need to secure the future of the paper. “The only strategy to survive in the long run in this very complicated and economically difficult environment is that we have to differentiate ourselves from others, so that people can find in our newspaper something they cannot find anywhere else,” Krach said.>> And then further arguments: Success with the Panama papers, etc. etc.

I really do not like sentences like this one (irrespective of the context). They give the false impression that...

...(1) there is a monolithic thing as "the media"

...(2) "the media" has one - among them - agreed upon agenda

...(3) their agenda is the opposite of what you want or hold true

I failed to see any arguments.

Why only car companies? Any party with enough cash is a potential buyer. Google, Apple, Facebook, any large VC consortium, super rich individuals, ...
