The North’s fear of the US is more for internal propaganda reasons than anything else. We make a convenient bogeyman for the DPRK to use to keep their population under control. If we “evil” Americans weren’t on the peninsula, then there wouldn’t be anyone for Fatboy Slim to “protect” the Korean people from.

Seeing the Stevenson livery on a non-’Murican car is just...odd.

Turing machines will never be better at processing our three-dimensional universe than we are. Asking them to do so is like asking someone to predict the future. The best anyone can do is make a really good guess and small computational errors can lead to large divergences over time.

But all of their engineering will be going on in Europe. I have a CS degree, not an automotive engineering degree. If they’re going to hire me for their main office, it will be to work in their IT department.

So what you’re telling me is that I shouldn’t even bother putting in an application to work there unless I’m willing to move to the UK.

I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. GM really doesn’t know how to market cars that don’t have a V8.

The place where the world police people live is on the ground. You will not get to space today or any day if the part where the fire comes out of is pointed away from there. The world police people will throw big fire sticks back at you and you will die.

Makes since seeing as how Burton directed both films.

A fucking jarhead. I knew it.

Maybe he’s shaving, then.

I remember now, combing your hair with your shoe was really popular back then.

Is that...is that a shoe? WTF is going on in this picture?

People often forget that the Beetle was not always universally well received, especially in the US. It wasn’t until the car ended production that it passed into the realm of nostalgia, where all is sunshine and happiness and nothing ever rusts or breaks down.

0.378 US gallons to be precise, powering a motor that was probably about 70% efficient in a period of time when the best ICE engines were struggling to get to 20%. The best today can only crack 30% while the motors powering the Tesla P85D get around 95% efficiency.

It’s the ride of choice for goth kids who like to listen to synth pop.

Because they’ve spent so much time developing the hardware. They’ve even stated that their end goal was not to sell them but to use them in an Uber-like ride sharing system. That’s why they’re so intent on fully autonimous cars that can drive without human intervention and not just a Tesla-like autopilot system that…

Google figured out the hard way that writing code for something in the physical world is very different than writing code for the Internet. It also figured out that making a product that has massive amounts of safety regulations is much harder than they originally thought.

Google is doing this because they probably realized not long ago that they were in way over their heads.

If you were born into a life of privilege and your first car was a 911, then yes, the Miata is a piece of shit.

I think its rather telling that an article that simply asks who’s seen a movie about people in space gets about 300 replies while an article that talks about actual spaceflight gets, including this one, precisely two responses.
