Spotted at Laughing Squid is an link to the Jet Powered Go-Kart developed by Colin Furze.
From the linked YouTube video summary:
So it's finished and it's brilliant, it's stable it starts easy and the fuel system after a slight redesign (see website) works perfectly. Top speed so far is 60mph but i run out of airstrip so might be more in it.
More details are available at Colin's project site. Colin is also known for previously developing this Jet powered bicycle.

RUST 1.0 HAS BEEN RELEASED! This is the biggest programming news to have happened since the release of Java back in 1995. GET THAT SUBMISSION ON THE FRONT PAGE, PLEASE! THIS IS A BIG DEAL!
Why? So you can throw the term hipsters around and act like the victim when you're rightfully modded down for it?

No, I submitted it because this site is called Soylent News and this is the top news story at HN, Slashdot, reddit and other top tech news sites. Unlike those sites, this site has a serious problem with getting news to the front page in a timely manner. Breaking news only gets there if somebody explicitly points out the submission. Since there's no other way of flagging breaking stories, one must post a comment in an unrelated story.

Rust is a hipster programming language. Many of its core contributors are former Rubyists who have moved to Rust because it's the latest hyped fad.

Hi, Tork. I remember you! You were the guy who cried and screamed like a little baby after finding out that Michael Brown got shot because he violently (and stupidly!) attacked an armed police officer. You should be the last one to talk about crying!
