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.
That has almost nothing to do with the post you responded to. Electric bikes are faster than normal bikes, and people treat them as mini mopeds rather than normal bikes (and there's already a problem with bicycle/pedestrian collisions).
When specifically was CSS explicitly and officially said to be for layout?
As I remember, it began as styling, and people started using it for layout, and that became the best practice, though not official. I don't recall the announcement that its design was for layout, but I wasn't keeping up on the news at that point.
And since CSS is officially said to be supporting layout, why aren't they thinking of all web use cases?
If CSS is not for layout of complex applications, what should one use in that case?
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.
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.
