The point is the "RAV4" and similar SUVs sit on a sedan-size wheelbase. A bit heavier than sedans but similar dimensions: https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/toyota-corolla-2018... The proposed

If they follow Paris, smaller SUVs weighing 1.6+ tonnes like the Toyota Rav4 will be slugged even though these cars are the same length as a Corolla sedan. Given Rav4 owners already pay higher rego in Australia due to weight, this new parki

Thanks for that information, very useful. Puter should provide more details, it seems lacking on their side given it's been around for a bit. I'm someone who, like you, doesn't want to mess around with user management and aut

Again, as objectively as I can, it looks like he believes the country is having an existential crisis deserving of his attention. "Useless" is your opinion, not an objective measure. "Culture wars" is a trope designed to

Sounds good, but it seems the sign-in feature pops open a new window to the puter.com domain. Does the SDK provide any means of avoiding this and keeping everything integrated on your app without pop-up windows? Also I'm confused about

Drum machines are rarely used by drummers. A more fitting analogy would be technology drummers use to improve or broaden their drumming, without giving up their sticks, pedals and timing. The reasoning here is human coders still need to be

You've missed the metaphor, so I'll explain. The sorcerer is AI, and the mountain is the years of innovation by humanity to get there. We don't want all that effort "wokified" to please the easily offended. Or to pl
