Yeah, I agree. I always ask it to use Vue.js and it always gives me Vue.js.

If it's on bittorrent then, yes, it's public. It doesn't matter if you intended it to be or not, it's publicly accessible, therefore it's public.

If it's on the internet, and people can access it, then it's public. I would have no expectations for what people do with public data; that just seems like setting yourself up for disappointment.

590kg is amazing. Not a big fan of the body design, although it's not terrible. I want a hard top option with all wheel drive. I would love to daily a lightweight electric coupe, but it must be able to deal with the snow.

Curious what you mean? Surely more weight moves the weight needle?

That's a totally different comparison. I'm sure the X5 is fine for what it is, but most people are driving around in ~30k USD SUVs. That's the type of vehicle that I'm referencing. I'm comparing it against my 2012 V

If a pedestrian gets hit by a tall vehicle, where the bumper is at waist level or above, then the pedestrian goes under the vehicle. This is what causes most of the fatalities these days. Breaking your legs is bad, but getting run over is t

Good catch. I didn't even realize... I was shocked because I assumed it was a modern Jeep. Your data is much more in line with what I would expect.

I think you're correct. The first time I encountered (and recognized) an em-dash in someone's writing was in middle school, and the person that wrote it was someone that I considered to be academically superior to myself. I notice

I see the same trend. My thoughts: 2 tonnes of shit sells for more than 1 tonne of shit. 650 HP entices a lot more people than 1,200kg. I usually have to dig to find the weight of the vehicle. It's a consumer education problem more tha

Maybe... I think it would definitely help. I think just driving a smaller car that puts you in control might cause a lot of people to switch. I know that when I've done the opposite; gone from a very performance oriented car to a rando

You are correct, ideally you would do both. My car is lowered on coilovers, I also have front and rear sway bars, but weight reduction is so much more than just handling. I didn't realize that Jeep was so light... pretty nice actually,

Yup, it's an arms race to see who can buy the biggest vehicle so that they can see over the second biggest vehicle and survive a collision with it. But small cars are only unsafe because of that discrepancy between the largest and smal

I get what you're saying, but tire technology has improved traction so greatly in the last decade that we can definitely take the slight loss in maximum theoretical traction for the massive benefits in other areas. There is also the qu

Did you file a countersuit? I always wonder when I hear about these situations, how these types of scams continue to operate?

I wish more people on the road realized the extent to which weight reduction improves all aspects of the driving experience... it really does compound unlike any other change that you can make to a vehicle. IMO heavy vehicles are a scam and

Weight also matters in shipping, no? Most shipping is run on fossil fuels. I think you're right that most drivers don't care about weight... it's a shame because it's basic physics.

How about weight? My biggest gripe with electric vehicles is that they charge too slowly and weigh too much compared to their ICE counterparts.

Good luck with that one, last time I checked it's not illegal to read a book and tell people about it. It is however, illegal to sell your book as if it were "Game of Thrones". Now, if you wanted to call it "Game of Bone

It's an education problem. A lot of people no longer understand the advantages of general purpose computing.

I worry about the thought process of the average consumer. Who exactly is buying these? How have smart fridges not been a colossal failure?

Is there a service that you can buy where they will do this sort of thing for you automatically for every medical bill? E.g. "Here's an obfuscated, probably incorrect bill." "Ah, okay, go ahead and send that to my billin

Intuitively this feels to me like an emergent property of interconnectedness. I suspect that if we operated more within the boundaries of smaller, localized communities, then deviance (from some communities' perspective) would be more

Do they mean immigrants or illegal immigrants? Do they mean citizens, permanent residents, or some other status? I'm very anti-surveillance, this shouldn't be allowed, but I feel like a lot of articles are being disingenuous by me
