Cars are by far the most dangerous things to pedestrians. If electric bikes get people out of their cars, pedestrians will be better off on balance. Rather than banning electric bi…

Maybe because HTML/CSS was intended to lay out and style documents, not support complex application layouts?

What you've posted will only center a ` ` with a known width (ie, for `margin: auto` to center a child element within its parent, the width of the child must also be specified). No…

It's not the media's job to give equal time to "both sides" on an issue or be "balanced." I trust Serial, based on the exhaustive reporting of their first story, will do a fine job…

I think Una turned issues off on her repos...she's getting issue spam: https://twitter.com/Una/status/659128221292605440

I look at it a little more optimistically...sure departments try to spend every last penny of their budget so that they don't lose that funding. That's a given. What if departments…

...Or you can come work at OpenGov. We're hiring too ;) http://opengov.com/careers/

It might be 20 miles by car, however most places in SV are only a few miles from Caltrain. Just take your bike onboard. This is why Caltrain has the highest (I think) number of bik…

I live in Mountain View and work in Redwood City. I don't have a car. It's not a big deal. For all the innovation in SV, it always surprises me how close-minded the area is when it…

Yeah, that yellow text in a blue background has aged so well. At least there won't be a link to that "Contrast Rebellion" site...

Yeah, except that the VC wants to continue to squeeze more milk from the cow. "More pasture land!" he demands. "Add growth hormones!" he suggests. The cow dies, then he gets to wri…

The title is "How I'd redesign piano sheet music," then the second paragraph (after the TL;DR) mentions guitar tabs. At this point, we should just all agree that article titles are…

It's clearly stated that the solution is meant to be like guitar tabs for piano. It's a limited, instrument-centered approach and not intended as a complete or universal solution.

I wonder if a model like this has a place in Silicon Valley. I can't decide if I would prefer to just have my no-strings-attached options, or purchase actual shares in my current c…

Just because this beta software doesn't support your browser doesn't mean the open web is dead.

They certainly tend to stick around longer than bus routes. Streetcars represent significant infrastructure spending, while a bus route can be changed by a bureaucrat.

It might be simple, but it's certainly not simplistic :)

> At the end of the day, trying to deal with real people leads to unreal problems. It's funny you say this, because you've managed to reduce real people (transit riders) into an un…

Letchworth is a Garden City. Brasilia is a "towers in a park" type Modernist city. You're interested in "towers in a park." Historically, cities like Brasilia were designed around …

Streetcar lines don't change like bus routes do. Their funding is harder to cut, and indeed their operating expenses are less than busses. Businesses can count on their presence in…

The "garden city" movement was a thing, but not quite what you're describing. "Towers in a park" was an organizational scheme for cities proposed by Modern architects, such as Le C…

All mediums have constraints. Perhaps our designs should be better a working within those constraints. Obviously, vertically centering in all situations is something CSS doesn't do…

Open a PR for a name change. Let people +1. Boom, democracy in action.

Diller + Scofidio's Blur building ( http://www.dsrny.com/#/projects/blur-building ), in addition to being an awesome environmental experience, was a tensegrity structure.

you know that the "brutal" in brutalist references the French word for form-finished concrete, beton bute?
