Zielona Góra airport is almost there, with just one bus to/from the airport each day, with the exception of Fridays. There are trains, but it's a 75 minute walk from the terminal to the nearest station. While it only has a single scheduled connection with Warsaw, it does see some charter traffic...

This is something that's never been really clarified. While the common narrative is that Wolff bought the stake himself, there's some suspicion that Mercedes wanted him onboard as they'd seen what he was doing with Williams and that he had the skill/talent to lead the team, so he didn't buy the...

I wonder the same. It's clear that Tesla is in deep trouble and that Musk seems completely unwilling to do anything about it, and he seems to be focused more on completely irrelevant nonsense rather than on finding a way to repair Tesla's battered reputation. BYD are about to dethrone Tesla, and...

From what I can see, no, there's just information on whatever Boeing's version of ECAM is. If this article is based on fact, then it probably won't be very difficult to figure out if the switches were indeed turned off. The CVR will pick up on the switches being moved, and if it turns out that...

Grok has become absolutely horrific. It's not even amusing anymore, it's downright terrible how it's being used to insult public figures in the most appalling of ways. I've seen it used to abuse Trump, Netanyahu and more, and it's also being incredibly vulgar in doing so. It's obvious that Musk...

It really is complete madness, and most of all, it's incredibly difficult to follow all the different requirements. The absolutely bonkers thing is that the UK actually accepts EU/EEA ID cards for things like voting, and looking now, if I want to register myself on the electoral roll again, all...

I think it's just a case of the brand no longer being controlled by the founder. She walked away years ago, and it was massively overvalued on the stock market launch too. Cécile Reinaud was wise enough to bail out at the height of the brand's popularity, and it's not a surprise that it lost its...

Generally speaking, the idea is to remove all the silly expectations (utility bills, online codes, whatever) and replace it with a single, universally understood system that doesn't involve bureaucratic nonsense. Want a phone contract? Show your ID. Want to rent a flat? Show your ID. Want to get...

Why not just do what they have here in Poland, where the police have computers that can show your photo, address, etc? All you need to do is give them your personal number (like a national insurance number) and they can pull up everything they need. If they don't have a computer nearby, they can...

Hard to tell. If you believe the gossip, Horner wanted a Toto-style deal with Red Bull in that he'd become a part owner in reward for the incredible job that he's done with Red Bull, but he was flatly denied by the Thai part of Red Bull. Then there's the ongoing power struggle between the Thai...

Blimey, I haven't had a printed bill in years. Electric bills are online, phone bills are online, gas bills are online, water bills are online... Maybe property tax bills? That's about the only thing that we receive in printed form these days. That comes once a year, so it could be up to 11...

I'd bet very good money on Max negotiating a terrific deal with Mercedes, then coming back to Red Bull and making it clear that he will stay, but only if Horner goes. Red Bull need Max for so many reasons beyond pure race performance, and any big brand would absolutely love to have him onboard...

Exactly! It's ridiculous that I can go to the UK and have to jump through all these hoops with utility bills and so on, and I'd actually have problems because I'd show a British passport without a utility bill or otherwise. None of this bureaucracy exists here: the ID card identifies you and...

I wonder if there isn't any new facility at all in this case? I can't find anything at all about this and it's driving me quite insane. When did you last arrive there? Yes, this has apparently been torn out in preparation for extending the security area and airside shopping areas, as well as...

Theoretically, it's not that difficult to link together different pieces of information. For instance, if you know that Mr Potential Terrorist has taken a flight to Saudi Arabia and your own information tells you that he has no family connection to there, then you can set up AI video recognition...

Poland has an interesting approach to this. In short, the passport and ID cards are an 'identification document', which must be accepted by anyone that wants to identify you for whatever reason. For instance, the bank, the post office, whatever. It's not permitted to refuse to accept these as a...

Actually, not necessarily so. A lot of this is not simulated, and they don't have enough time on the tracks to be able to do this. Part of what makes F1 drivers so skilful is that they need to be able to learn the track in a small amount of time, although some will spend hours and hours in the...

Having an ID card makes life so much easier on so many levels. For example, I have my Polish ID card on my phone, and I can do almost everything with it with the exception of crossing national borders. It's not obligatory to carry ID on a daily basis, but citizens even have the ability to verify...

I said it before, but I think the whole system of stewarding needs to be looked at. There's no reason why F1 can't have a dedicated team of stewards working under Race Control that attend each race, with perhaps a senior local steward as part of the team to provide insight into the specifics of...

Some gossip suggests that Jersey wanted an operator that would take on the entire commercial risk with zero funding from Jersey themselves, and that DFDS essentially agreed to do just that. They were already paying quite a lot of money (believed to be around 300k a month) to DFDS just to ensure...
