I loved flipping through LPs at the record store and would usually go through everything at my favorite stores. The flap-flap-flap of the cardboard sleeves was so soothing.

The whole concept of ev truck as portable power generator is an interesting concept to explore, and one I'd love to see evolve into other EV vehicles.

There actually is a science for this: it's called accessibility. WCAG guidelines would be extremely useful in determining how colors should be combined and applied to meet contrast guidelines.

It would also be useful to create usage contexts to guide additions to the palette. for example: text + background, ui (border, icon) + background, background + background.

These would help identify common situations and ensure that you're adding the colors you need and avoiding future bloat.

Since companies are now being sued over a11y issues, it's definitely something that should be incorporated into the design process from the beginning.

You can buy a VW e-golf since at least 2015. It's a great car, but by no means a Tesla competitor. It retails for close to $30k, I got mine for under $20k after the federal rebate.

IIRC, VW only really got into the electric car game as a condition of their emissions cheating settlement. FWIW.

It's an interesting and compelling story, and she deserves credit for her invention, but it's a serious exaggeration to say that she invented spread spectrum, or that current technology is based on her idea.

There were actual scientists working on these technologies back in her day whose work informed spread spectrum's development directly. Because she had no real connection to the scientific community, Lamarr's patent didn't do much beyond languish in a file cabinet, I'm afraid.
