   Haha. Anyone who has written more than a dozen lines of CSS is hopefully also familiar with the computer ignoring one directive in favor of the other. Try this: .foo { display: inline; float: right; } Better believe foo won't b

   Yep. (And with the fingerprinting / cache-busting most of us do for our assets these days, the result is painful. Listen: https://www.dropbox.com/s/blln31qfzviwf7k/say-0ffe34b4e04c2b... )

   Your comment is actively harmful. You are spouting off a strong opinion that hasn't benefitted from any actual knowledge of the topic — or from actually reading the article — or from thinking about it for a more than a second. As t

   My understanding is that the 40% figure quoted in the article, and which was reported elsewhere, was based on a gross misunderstanding of the figures involved; however, I don’t really know.

   this story has been submitted before [1] and it appears to be killed or shadow-killed each time (although I could be wrong). I can see why. It's a sensationalist news piece with many unfounded assertions and general mischaracterization

    That the terms you usually see are "pro-choice" and "anti-choice" means nothing more than that your particular filter bubble is strongly pro-choice. Pro-lifers never call themselves "anti-choice"; they call the

    You used the passive voice, “the ACLU are being politicized right now as being anti-Trump.” The ACLU, in their official communications and advertisements, have been actively and explicitly anti-Trump. Witness their current 'pinned twee

    I think sometimes there is a meme that if it's been said before, that’s proof that the complaint or worry is baseless and hysterical. But this isn’t so. Just because it's been said before doesn't make it untrue. San Francisco
