I had the exact same reaction to reading those lines. Everyone I knew was more than happy to use AOL to surf the World Wide Web it was only when their cost and speed stagnated next to competitors did people jump ship.

Buried beneath the sensational headline is the fact that Panasonic has been slowly divesting over the past year. They did not just "dump" the stock today, they simply reported that they had finished selling all their shares today.

Even more appropriate: Over the course of the last year Panasonic has divested from TSLA and used the gains to expand car battery operations.

The currently headline makes it sound like it just click sell on $3.6B shares, the article makes clear that they have been selling over the year and this is just the final report that they are fully divested.

> web designers need to think long and hard about how they implement responsive design.

No, web designers need to do their best to balance cost/value of changes. While this might be a hot button topic here, I doubt the general public knows or cares much. Silly and self centered to DEMAND everyone needs to change to fit a niche group of users

Important to a user in 1 region/country.

Uber is a global app, so the other 9/10s of the code is for all the features and functionality you'll never see outside your region since there is currently no way to split up binaries by region.

Do you have that setting?

The penalty here isn't because your equipment fell apart, it is if you keep playing with broken equipment then that is a penalty. If your stick breaks and you drop it on the ice then you are fine.

Broken sticks are sharp so playing with one is a safety hazard.

Thank you! I clicked all the links on the page and still had no idea what SAT or the SAT Competition was!

Anyone else having a hard time even reading this article because of the lack of contrast from text to background?

My experience: The first thing I see is a big in your face "please accept our cookies so that this will work!"

Uh, what is it? Do I want it to work? I tentatively click "YES COOKIES"

Big cookie plea is now replaced with a big "Sign in with Google/Slack"

Hold up! What the hell is this thing? I am not just going to potentially link you to my slack or gmail!

There is a sandbox mode button? What is this thing, why would I need to run it in a sandbox?!?!

The only way to know what this is or will do without actually trying it is to watch a youtube video and the explanation doesn't even come until 20 seconds into the video!

I imagine this would have gotten more traction on HN if your page contained even a single line of text explaining what this is: an interactive sound board. Rather than forcing users to watch a video or try out some unknown thing first.

Just because the outcome of the code (i.e. obfuscated code) is "clever" doesn't mean that the code that does the obfuscation is clever

Not OP, but I too am confused. I understood the sketch artist analogy but that didn't seem related to this point:

>They also trained the model with non-blackhole images. Since the output of the model was approximately the same, this indicates that the resulting output picture doesnt look like what we think a black hole looks like just because it was trained with black hole images. It likely really looks like that.

If you are feeding non-blackhole images in and getting blackhole results out, wouldn't that be indicative of an over-trained model? Her other analogy was we can't rule out that there is an elephant at the center of the galaxy, but it sounds like if you feed a picture of an elephant in you'll get a picture of a blackhole out?
