Perhaps useful to note that the car itself was released 18 years ago. It's just this article about the design process that's contemporary.

It sounds like 'probably, yes' to adding a disclaimer, if only because I rather took it at face-value seeing it posted here on QBN so bookmarked for investigation later... .

Sometimes people are just in a rush or just a bit careless, much like you were here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38879565 . It really isn't the end of the world. Glass houses, and all that.

As someone who stupidly committed to laser cutting 30-odd spirographs for my four year old's birthday bag treats last year and ended up realising what a stupid idea that was for that age group - you need to go with ball-tipped pens, be

I more meant "not jet-powered" for 'low-speed', and this was a good twenty years ago. It's quite crazy how much RC-tech has advanced in that short span, so maybe you've got a point!

I'm not quite sure it's the same thing, but I many years ago had an idea for inflatable control surfaces for low-speed vehicles place of mechanical ailerons. I was in between jobs at the time and thought it might be an interesting

Yeah, Norm was a dark lord of comedy, but perhaps he simply didn't much wear the cloak.

For a minute there I thought I was going be thanking you for the Amiga version, which I have fond memories of from... well, far too long ago!

I'm fairly blockchain-ignorant despite having read up on it quite a bit, but THIS sort of task seems to me a pretty good use of blockchain. It wouldn't need to necessarily run in an entirely de-centralised set up, but how that wou

Sadly that is not an uncommon sight around where I am in London, where there is a high number of Eastern European tradespeople who either know no better or simply don't care.

It'd not even be 'deep' in the oceans, more just a few tens of metres off-shore and down a bit. I'm no fan of Hancock, but I've long thought about how much of our history we're simply blind to because it's

Class... is a tricky definition here in the UK. For instance, the richest person I will ever know drives a crappy wee Japanese hatchback, whilst SUVs are often high-monthly fee status symbols for people who could spend their money 'bet

The point is not to slightly adjust the tire pressure to some dangerous state, but to completely deflate them to be a pain in the rear to re-inflate before driving off again.

Lovely! That is, except for the shoddy white in-filled graphic details. Should've lightly laser-etched those, imho.

Just because it's along the lines of what I've been thinking- such drones could have longish lengths of 'fishing wire' trailing them, and perhaps some sort of expansive spiders web, so that their engagement with such dro

That's not quite right, sadly. They banned them because careless traders in places like Camden could buy them cheap from Holland and sell them with zero responsibility to anyone who wanted, including minors. I know this because I was i

It's honestly not so wonderful an idea when you're downstream of it, which given the Med has a significant and continuous in-flow, means that people along the Costa del Sol swimming in the sea are probably having more than their f

Given Gibraltar dumps all of its sewage straight into the Med untreated, I don't really think it much cares.

London's been a very green city for decades, if not a hundred years, because of planting done when victoirian development started. If anything, the last years seem to have had a reduction in tree cover, to fit in all of these new devel

Because I feel like it's an entirely pointless waste of resource? I don't know if you've noticed, but the world's on fire right now. Moreso though, if you're not achieving orbit, you're not really visiting spac

Thank you for the recommendation - I've wanted a game like this for years, 'a contemporary F-19' and 'by Micrprprose' too - delightful!

I'm mooting it as a possibility, tin foil or not. I more meant they could be editing transmissions and inputs from all the digitally-based means we have analysing the universe - including Voyager, telescopes, gravity wave detectors...

If aliens do exist and are in our vicinity, they absolutely have access to every digitally-transcribed mote of data or communication, should they wish. I kind of view this as a bit of a problem: If it is so, presumably they have orders of m

Yeah, I get that, hence the 'to me'.. but the flavour is SO distinct, and nasty. Where coriander is concerned I on occasion get that soapy taste, but like once a decade and it weirds me out, otherwise it just tastes like it shoul

I fundamentally couldn't much care less about the supposed effects of one synthetic sweetener over another versus highly processed sugars, if it were't for the fact that as soon as I taste whatever synthetic sweetener it is, it ta
