Those are his companies, he founded them with his money. He's the CEO of all those companies, unlike the situation here. She wasn't the leader of the entire project. And she didn't even put her hands on the other aspects other than processing the image from the data.

> Another team leader might have botched it and we wouldnt have the picture.

How do you know that? The "might" means nothing here. There were many other teams working too and each of them have their talented leader doing complicated things. Choosing this one specifically from all others to take the credit is meaningless.

No I am not, in order to create the image they observed the black hole for years, which is coming from the work of the people I linked to in my source, 200 people from 40 countries and all the other astronomers, being the team who just produced the image from the data is relatively smaller effort comparing to the overall work of all the people involved for years. I am not blaming her, I didn't say she's the one pushing this thing, I am blaming this BBC article. She never said "I am the one".

Yes she was in charge of the team responsible of producing the image from the data, it doesn't mean in anyway that she's "behind the first image of the black hole". Everybody involved is behind the image.

This is not about celebrating those people, it's giving the main chunk of the credit to this person alone. I have no idea why is it such a hard thing to understand or why is this even an issue. Claiming that this person is the only "crucial" person involved is a straightforward lie. If that's how the media has been doing it for 30 years, then the media needs to change and fix their lies.

The price of using Google.com, YouTube.com, Gmail.com and many many other services, for free.

It's Saturday 11AM here, though.

Ah, here I am, setting under the blanket and drinking a cup of tea with lemon, watching a rocket 9600km away from me that's about to go to space in few minutes.

What a time to be alive.

On just a small side note to remind our selves: Projects that didn't receive well in HN doesn't necessarily mean that HN didn't find it promising/useful or ignored it. It could have been posted at times when participation is low (e.g midnight), for example, so nobody actually saw it. Or people simply just forgot to upvote it, and it went unnoticed in the flood of too many other submissions.

I remember that I posted an article that I wrote to HN someday, and it got only 10 votes. Just a day later, some other guy posted MY article and got around 320 votes. I think it's just luck sometimes.

Am I the only one who's extremely pissed off by the subtitle?

> Beating Aids is India’s greatest public health achievement. A new book says it wouldn’t have happened without women

Replace this with "it wouldn't have happened without men" and you would feel how ridiculous this subtitle is.

Probably if things go wrong, every community will just fork the code and move on.

First Microsoft buying GitHub and now IBM buying Red Hat.

I wonder how the next year will be for Linux and open source in general, looks like we are going to have a lot of drama.

Funny having this read on my screen while I was also reading this: https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/mosul-moria-air-s...

This is hilarious:

>> It is fair to say that for almost all of the projects in the CNCF, specific vendors account for most of the development work being done.

> Not just “many” open source projects—all of them.

The author moves from an analysis written about CNCF projects to generalize a conclusion about all open source software. What a misleading title and content, it remains hanged without any evidence on those claims.

There were multiple law suits about refusing to hire Muslim women in the US for example by private sector. They won (the women):
