It may be feasible to use the API to implement a gateway of sorts to duplicate content of HN or Reddit and post the content in one or more Usenet newsgroups. It's probably against the TOS though.

Back in 1995, a movie called The Net was released. One scene near the beginning showed the main character ordering pizza online. I don't think any pizza chain had online ordering until later in the '90s.

My 2000 model Audi actually has a indicator light on the dash that only comes in when the stop lamp is not coming on, but only when the brake pedal is pressed.

My 2000 Audi has an indicator light that comes on if one of the stop lamps is not working. It would be nice if this was a standard feature in every car. Trying to determine whether the lights in the tail lamp cluster are all working without

Which models do that? And do they have amber color turn signal lamps?

If I'm not mistaken, rear fog lamps are required by UNECE regulations and would mitigate this issue. Unfortunately, in the US rear fog lamps are not required.

Federal law (FMVSS 108) permits red rear turn signals, either combined with the brake lamp or a separate turn signal lamp. Interestingly enough, they require amber color front turn signals because the white ones were difficult to see when t
