- dvrp 10mo agoHow did you get in?
- dllu 10mo agoThese were parked on Hudson Ave, which is a public street, and not inside the fenced area of the depot. So I just walked up to them.
- vasco 10mo agoYour Transamerica pyramid picture is incredible among really cool pictures you have there. Quite cool to photograph for wikipedia like this, the world needs more people like you!
- sam-cop-vimes 10mo agoIndeed. May I ask the GP, how did you produce those scrollable images of the Shinkansen?
- dllu 10mo agoIt was done with a line scan camera. More on the technique here: https://daniel.lawrence.lu/blog/2025-09-21-line-scan-camera-image-processing/ https://daniel.lawrence.lu/blog/2025-09-21-line-scan-camera-...
- collingreen 10mo agoThis was a great read and would be worth a submission of its own if it hasn't been posted recently.
- dllu 10mo agoThanks, I posted it 4 months ago already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44996938 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44996938
- collingreen 9mo agoUpvoted!
- blackoil 10mo agoHow are Google allowed to get Zeekr? Are they pre tariff or they have some loophole being corporate?
- fragmede 10mo ago> some loophole being corporate Presumably they use the loophole called "paying the tariff".
- dangus 10mo agoWhich isn’t even really that prohibitive because Chinese vehicles beat Western pricing by five figures. Plus, all the sensor equipment is made in China anyway. There’s almost certainly no way to have it manufactured in the US. On top of that, fleet sales don’t have to deal with the antiquated dealer network laws in the US. And of course American market car manufacturers refuse to produce vehicles that are like this one: space efficient and reasonably sized, instead opting for gigantic bean shaped SUVs with sloping rear roofs that rob you of cargo space while taking up maximum curb real estate.
- lotsofpulp 10mo agoI would pay lots of money for an electric minivan (or van I guess) with removable seats that can fit a 4 ft x 8ft board.
- toast0 10mo agoFord E-Transit is an electric van for a lot of money. But it looks like Ford wants to stop making them, and 2 seat models look much easier to find. But you'd be able to fit your board no problem.
- dangus 10mo agoI think the VW ID buzz is probably the closest thing you’ll find in the US. Ignore the crazy high MSRP, they are selling poorly and you should be able to get one brand new or lightly used one in the 40s. I think in a short couple of years they could be a steal on the used market.
- rwmj 10mo agoThe line scan photo of the Shinkansen train is amazing! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Line_scan_photo_of_Shinkansen_N700A_Series_Set_G13_in_2017.png https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Line_scan_photo_of_S... (If you're confused by that page, then so was I. It contains the full photo but it's so long that it gets compressed into a line a few pixels high.)
- nilsherzig 10mo agoI know nothing about photography, but i really enjoyed your work. Especially the line scan cable car and „ 1390 Market Street“. Thanks for sharing.
