I have to say I've been using foundation 4 for some side projects since it was released, and really love it. It's well documented, gets out of the way, and is just much more intuitive/less crufty to me than bootstrap or skeleton.

Totally anecdotal, but I suffer from occasional night terrors too, and have found that an eye mask actually helps quite a bit. Something about the consistent deeper darkness seems to stop me from 'waking up' and having a spell. Mine were al

I think a big part of this is that business requirements for software tend to change pretty quickly; where the requirements for physical things don't. A desk from 1900 almost exactly fits the requirements for a desk in 2013 (other than what

Great Idea, but the license terms are a bit onerous. A per pageview license for a web font? Obviously service like typekit do that, but I've never an seen individual font with a per pv price.

Linode has over 45,000 customers (as of 2011), paying a bare minimum of $20 usd/month. Realistically they're probably bigger than that now, and the avg $/customer is higher. I'd say they're pretty good sized. http://www.prweb.com/releases/

Something I've never understood about those cool looking vertical farm concepts is water management. Doesn't it take a TON of energy to pump enough water to irrigate a field up 50 stories?

I'd guess that it's not the actual idea of LESS/SASS that most people don't grok, it's the integration into their deployment workflow. Since they don't use it every day due to setup woes, they can't easily read it fluently.

Cool! If you're thinking about buying one of the paid packs, I've purchased some of the earlier design elements kits from Designmodo and found them to be super high quality.

I really appreciate that they included some sample R code. So many of these cool visualization posts skip the code!

The biggest criticisms I've seen so far revolve around two things: 1) Many existing polluters can't afford much of a limit, but we don't want them to go bankrupt, so every proposal offers tons of 'free' allowances, which will inevitably be

Do you have a cite for that 1.5MM/year? The best numbers I could find from DOJ are from 2000, and suggest it's around 100,000. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:419E8WPZxdkJ:...

It's called sovereign immunity. Basically you can only sue the US government over things where it has agreed to let you, like things covered by The Federal Tort Claims Act. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_immunity_in_the_Unite...

Many of these Brazilian tribes have had some contact with loggers/miners/etc, just no formal government contact. Perhaps more interesting is the case of the Sentinelese, who live on islands in the bay of bengal, and may have had literally n

This isn't exactly accurate; "... are able to pass regulations with criminal penalties without passing a law through Congress." The DMCA was passed by congress and provides the criminal penalties. It's up to the agencies to work out the ex

It's because of the way the DMCA is written; there's a vast scope for actions that are by default illegal and need 'exceptions'. The LOC defining those exceptions instead of some agency setting administrative rules (which is normal procedur

One important thing that they neglect is that liquid is big, and heavy! As a city dweller who doesn't usually take a car to the grocery store, I don't usually buy more than a few liters of liquid at a time. I like drinking carbonated water,

You're not the target audience for this thing then =P. I tend to agree, but spend a few hours on Fifth Avenue in NYC, or even on sites like gilt.com and you'll see that there is a huge audience (including lots of men) who spend serious mone
