Many people simply don’t believe the use of GMOs is morally acceptable - whether or not they they are safe to grow or ingest is besides the point.

Nice to see another PDX company get funded, quite a big seed as well! Curious if you guys use proprietary graphing libraries or wrap something like d3 in custom skins.

Despite "un-opinionated" being one of their main selling points, using BEM is SUPER opinionated.

My guess? Quick-service car maintenance is profitable because they can be efficient. They have a guy at Jiffy Lube "below deck" so the car doesn't need to be jacked, lifted, or crawled under to start draining the oil. The sec

How do they open your gas tank? I think the most interesting part is their partnership with Firestone... On demand car servicing while you are at work seems like it solves a bigger problem than filling up with gas.

You still need to write the initial block of code. Advocating for non-custom elements just because it already exists in Bootstrap or Foundation is an easy way out, especially for UI uses. It doesn't matter how an element was created as

It's popular for display fonts and large headlines, there's been an influence of Swedish graphic design into the web lately and that's a common combination. Pretty effective for titles and headers with bold fonts.

Beautiful redesign! Very cool functionality with the inline editor and contextually revealed selectors. ...but they prevent you from right-clicking to open fonts in a new tab. I can already click into a font by regularly clicking, did they

Definitely looking in the wrong places, based on Middleman's more "lightweight" front-end audience. You'd probably get faster responses on Twitter.

Agree, Middleman + Middleman s3_sync is such an easy set up and deploy... Middleman project doesn't get enough love I think...

Agree, I have no problem with this. By not limiting these to government uses and ownership, you are only opening the door for malicious websites to fool users...

Django models are nice and easy to work with for the most part, and the template inheritance is great for building out front-ends. But there's a lot of "Django magic" that goes on behind the scenes so I tend to think of Djang

Spent many hours playing Power Pete in the mid-90's. One of my first gaming memories. A perfect candidate for an iOS revival, if you are reading this Pangea ;)

"a sort of low-effort stream of consciousness between friends." That's exactly the draw for many people, and why it's so sticky. It's about as close to a genuine in-person conversation as you can get. I don't t

Snapchat is the medium that most closely represents a real life conversation - between individuals, between friend groups, between performers & fans, etc. That's why it's popular and will continue to be so. The beauty of Snapc

I was speaking to the more common 70-100 storefront mall in a typical 20 - 50,000 resident town across America. I don't doubt you at all - but I do think MoA is certainly an anomaly, as it's almost an amusement park in terms of at

Well, the Xanadu complex has been an interesting destination / planning story since the beginning. But that's also in a pretty unique area and, as you mentioned, is a far cry from what most small-town malls across America can offe

The traditional closed-air mall is in fact dying, in most locales across the country. The transition to online shopping reduces the need for trips to the big box "anchor" stores, and as a result the smaller stores receive less foo

Exactly - that's the point. Same reason Square / Grubhub / most other mobile checkout options usually default to the 2nd lowest tip amount. You need to psychologically be okay with being less generous to move it to 0. Most ar

I'm curious as well. I currently work as a designer in tech and feel somewhat unsatisfied with it. The "problems" being solved pale in comparison to the ones that exist and are in need of being tackled in agriculture. Would l
