Virginia transit officials checked out Elon Musk's tunnel project. They were not very impressed. |
Virginia transit officials don’t seem very impressed with Elon Musk’s tunnel and they had a very hard time trying to hide it. |
The state’s public transit subcommittee is in talks to invest billions of dollars to upgrade its transportation systems. However, the board was worried that rail infrastructure projects would soon be rendered obsolete by technology like Elon Musk’s much-hyped tunnel. So, earlier this year Elon Musk’s Boring Company pro... |
This week, the transit professionals who experienced Musk’s tunnel shared their opinions to the subcommittee. |
Elon Musk may be use to criticism by now — or maybe not. Anyway, the Tesla and SpaceX founder has long been pilloried for his tunnel idea online. However, these are transportation officials. These are the very people Musk has to sell his tunnel to. |
Musk says the first tunnel, at 1.4 miles long, cost $10 million to make. According to the Los Angeles Times, though, that figure doesn’t include research, development or equipment costs. In fact, the $10 million may not cover property or labor costs either. |
“None of that, I think, is really significant from a standpoint of moving this process forward,” added Kasprowicz. |
The Commonwealth Transportation Board member didn’t dismiss the tunnel entirely and felt like it could possibly be feasible sometime in the future. However, Kasprowicz put a timeline on that future at decades away. |
“The reality is it’s a great idea, but I’m not sure its time has come,” concluded Kasprowicz attempting to give some praise to Musk. |
“We’ll give Elon Musk and the Boring Company credit for at least trying,” added McLaughlin. |
The Boring Company has recently found more success elsewhere. The company claims it's been given a permit to start digging a tunnel in Washington, D.C. Just earlier this month, Las Vegas approved the building of a Boring Company tunnel at the convention center site of the annual tech expo, CES. One Australian politicia... |
At the same time, however, Musk’s plans to build a tunnel in Chicago — one of the company’s earliest wins — is close to falling through. Plans to build a tunnel in West LA were put to a halt by local residents and neighborhood associations. |
It seems like the verdict is still out on Musk and his Boring Company tunnels. But, for now at least, it looks like the state of Virginia will be passing on the tunnel project. |
"A" for effort, though, Elon. |
Emergency personnel treat a victim's injuries and interview witnesses next to the food truck on Eddy Street early in the morning on Saturday, March 10, 2018. |
Police said a man physically assaulted a Cornell student and called him racial epithets early on Saturday morning, and that when two other students attempted to intervene, they were assaulted as well. |
Shortly after police arrived on the scene at the corner of Eddy Street and Dryden Road about 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, one student in a suit and tie — who was later transported to the hospital — was lying on the sidewalk next to the food truck and another was sitting on the grass. |
He stood up at one point and grabbed the post of a traffic sign before sitting back down and receiving medical attention. |
Several Cornell and Ithaca police officers and other emergency personnel responded after police received multiple calls reporting a fight. The officers spoke to witnesses who said a male student was verbally and physically assaulted by an unknown man who used racial epithets. |
Two of the injured Cornell students — the victim and one of the men who intervened — were transported to Cayuga Medical Center for treatment and later released. |
One of the victims described the suspect as a white, college-age man who is about 5-feet-9-inches tall. |
The suspect had dirty blond hair, wore a red and white baseball cap and a New England Patriots hooded, zip-up jacket, the witness told police. The suspect was last seen heading south on Eddy Street. |
Cornell Police searched the Collegetown area but did not locate any suspects. Police did not identify the nature of the racial slurs nor identify the race of any of the victims. |
David Honan, the deputy chief of the Cornell Police Department, said he could not share any more specific details without harming the investigation. |
He said police believe there are additional witnesses that may have information and encouraged anyone who knows anything about the altercation to call Cornell Police at 607-255-1111. |
“We are continuing to gather evidence and investigate this serious crime,” he said. |
The assaults occurred just two blocks away from — and on the same street as — an altercation in September that led to a Cornell sophomore being arrested and charged with a hate crime. That case has not yet gone to trial and is in the pre-trial motion phase. |
Cornell has been in contact with both victims who were treated at the hospital, the administrators said. |
“We must reach out and support each other and continue the difficult work of building a community grounded in mutual respect and kindness,” Pollack and Lombardi said. |
Pollack and Lombardi said they look forward to the recommendations of the Presidential Task Force on Campus Climate, which was formed after the September arrest of John Greenwood ’20. |
Vijay Pendakur, the dean of students, said a community support meeting would take place on Saturday evening at 5 in the Willard Straight Hall International Lounge on the fourth floor. |
The victim had locked herself out of her Collegetown house when the assault occurred on Sunday night, the authorities said. |
Anyone with information can contact police via email, phone or anonymously through an online silent witness program. |

BERLIN — Films by Tom Kalin, Shirley Clarke and Wynn Chamberlain make up a revival showcase at this year’s Berlinale Forum sidebar. |

The selection of seldom-seen works and restored classics include Kalin’s provocative 1992 drama “Swoon,” based on the true story of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb who kidnapped and murdered a 14-year-old boy in Chicago in 1924. Pic preemed in Forum two decades ago. |
Also unspooling is Chamberlain’s 1970 media satire “Brand X” — a U.S. underground classic long thought lost — as well as restored prints of two films by Shirley Clarke: “Ornette: Made in America,” a 1985 documentary about free jazz pioneer Ornette Coleman, and 1962’s “The Connection,” a drama about a budding filmmaker ... |
Other screeners include Japanese helmer Kawashima Yuzo’s “The Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate” (1957), “Suzaki Paradise: Red Light” (1956) and “Between Yesterday and Tomorrow” (1954). |
Forum is also showcasing Cambodian cinema from the 1960s and ’70s, including Davy Chou’s 2011 documentary “Le sommeil d’or” (Golden Slumbers), dedicated to films from the era. |

In addition, the mart will present 35 titles in its “German Cinema — LOLA@Berlinale” section, which spotlights films longlisted for this year’s German Film Award. |
An alleged refusal by some lift manufacturers to supply spare parts for the maintenance of lifts in Housing Board estates to third-party contractors has prompted the Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) to take action. |
The commission is seeking public feedback on proposals to address the issue and had earlier launched anti-competition probes on some companies supplying spare parts for lifts to HDB blocks. It is looking at practices, including the alleged refusal to supply vital parts such as motherboards to third-party lift maintenan... |
In a statement yesterday, the competition watchdog said: "If a lift company or distributor does not provide proprietary but essential lift spare parts to third-party lift maintenance contractors, other lift maintenance contractors may be prevented from effectively competing for contracts to maintain and service lifts o... |
The commission... is looking at practices, including the refusal to supply vital parts such as motherboards to third-party lift maintenance contractors here. |
They also include clarifying liability, ensuring spare parts are not modified or used for other lift brands and seeking consent from the owner of the lift being repaired. |
Sen. Ron Wyden took to Wired yesterday to argue that the Fast Track bill he co-sponsored to rush approval for trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement will help protect the free and open Internet. Sen. Wyden has long been a staunch defender of the Internet and users’ rights, and more recently, he ... |
The primary reason Sen. Wyden boasts that Fast Track and the TPP would protect Internet users is because both contain provisions involving the “free flow of information.” Such provisions live in the TPP’s E-Commerce chapter, which has never been leaked, so no one except the negotiators themselves and corporate advisors... |
These free flow of information rules are designed to subvert data localization laws and to prevent countries from forcing content providers to censor, filter, or otherwise block online content—so they have the potential to protect free expression and access to information on the Internet. On the other hand, these same ... |
Negotiators should be working to reconcile this tension between powerful private and public actors who may have conflicting stances on major human rights issues such as privacy and free expression. Sen. Wyden claims that repressive regimes will “build walls around the internet that cut off the flow of information at na... |
It is disingenuous at best for Sen. Wyden to claim that such provisions will be enough to protect the free and open Internet, especially given the existence of all the provisions in the Intellectual Property chapter that fly in the face of users’ rights. |
Sen. Wyden says that he worked with the Internet community to make sure that the TPP does not contain provisions that would lead to something like SOPA and PIPA and that he fought to include a copyright exceptions and limitations framework that is consistent with fair use. Both of these claims are factually true, but t... |
The copyright provisions in the TPP, based on analysis of a leaked draft from nearly a year ago, are worse, somewhat abstracted versions of policies you will find in U.S. law—mainly, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). For almost two decades, users in the U.S. and abroad have experienced a variety of unintende... |
The problem is that the U.S. is currently undergoing efforts to review and reform our copyright rules. So if the U.S. signs the TPP with eleven other countries while they contain these defective DMCA rules, it threatens to discourage current and future lawmakers from fixing our U.S. copyright rules. |
Possibly the most misleading assertion made by proponents of Fast Track and the TPP is that trade agreements will not prevent lawmakers from passing or amending laws in ways that are inconsistent with those secretive deals. Sen. Wyden makes a similar claim, saying that TPP will “in no way inhibit American voters and th... |
Some other party of the treaty, or a private investor under investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), could (depending on the enforcement language in the treaty) sue the U.S. for damages or to authorize trade sanctions. That dispute settlement process would bind the U.S. government—and have effect—even though it would ... |
The most recent leak was of the TPP’s Investment Chapter, which revealed how such investor-state courts could be used to undermine fair use and other user protections in U.S. law. That’s because the ISDS system is specifically intended to be a strong deterrent to countries passing laws inconsistent with the underlying ... |
Beyond those legal remedies, the existence of binding trade agreements—even ones that, like TPP, were negotiated in secret and without public impact—can be invoked by legislators avoiding reform, or even sometimes by judges to justify certain legal interpretations. Defenders of TPP are trying to have it both ways: they... |
We have been grateful to see all the work Sen. Wyden has done to protect and uphold Internet users’ rights in Congress. The new bills he has sponsored to help fix the DMCA rulemaking process and the CFAA are welcome after so much stalling. And yet, we cannot back his assertions that the TPP could do anything to help pr... |
You can take action by getting in touch with your congressional representatives and letting them know that we’re counting on them to defend the Internet from the White House’s secret, anti-user deals. |

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Dozens gathered Saturday night at the spot where 18-year-old Brandon Jones was killed by a Cleveland police officer to demand justice and pay their respects. |
They held hands and prayed underneath the sign for Parkwood Grocery, which proudly declares that it's been black owned for more than 30 years. As the vigil began, they formed a circle around Jones' immediate family and many cried. |
