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 bikes, NYC could to better to build separate infrastructure for bikes.

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 `<div>` 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).

Not sure if you're mistaken in your comment or there's a bug in the site. When I select all unknown dimensions and a block-level element, it gives me a flexbox output (the right answer, IMO).

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 exploring this story.

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 could spend every last penny BETTER?

Maybe its true that saving money isn't a priority, but spending money on things that have the most impact, or that get the most value is a priority.

I work for OpenGov, so I hear this from our customers (who work in government) all the time.

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 bikes onboard of a commuter rail line in the nation.

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 comes to transportation options beyond the car.

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 write posts about how the cow's desiccated udders were the bottleneck for his sweet milk.

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 at least slightly sensational. If no one on HN debated the clickbaitiness of a headline, comment volume would drop dramatically.

Edit: reordered the paragraphs.

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 company which would presumably come with voting rights.

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