GitHub provides a gem that does a decent job of replicating their Pages environment. It's not well advertised, but does work well [1].

Having recently moved to LA from the east coast, and hoping to stay put for awhile, I've really appreciated the interest in finding new ways of dealing with transportation in the city. It may be a generational issue, as some have said, but that doesn't need to be the case. Perhaps the current enthusiasm can find its way into housing and zoning policy and make a lasting change in a city that seems to have reached the limits of what sort of population and density can actually be sustained in an everybody-owns-a-car scenario.

Creator here: I put this together after setting up a simple project page on GitHub Pages and not finding any great, current boilerplate. I also noticed there was some excellent functionality in the plugins / gems GitHub Pages now allows.

I tried to tailor the documentation and experience to getting a beginner rolling with some powerful tools, basically rolling up the best practices I've used and seen in use in a variety of landing page / demo sites and projects.

Hoping this will prove useful for people trying to set up a page for their next open source project, or just as a great sandbox for somebody starting out in front-end development and the various services and tools involved (e.g., using GitHub, Travis CI, ES6, SCSS/PostCSS, static-site generation, testing).

I made something similar for use with Knockout.js. Love your clear code and efficient implementation! I will probably swap out my core logic for yours.

Some here have mentioned the webpack overhead, and suggested rollup.js. I've had great results with rollup for these teeny-tiny browser-focused projects.

Cranky as this is, it's interesting to see the subsequent post about Universal Music Group ending exclusive streaming deals.

I agree entirely. I've found comments below the story to generally seem outmoded and often jarringly tacked-on.

Outsourcing to other communities seems great, but I could imagine NPR doing well with a Boing Boing BBS / Discourse model and effectively offering their own community board (subreddit, if you will) auto-threaded with their content. Then as somebody potentially having a serious thought in a comment you don't feel ghettoized to the bottom of the page, speaking to who, the author?

Rarely does the threading in on-page comments give great visual direction to feel like you can engage other commenters or the author you are responding to in any manner other than "broadcasting" (or maybe a better word is screaming).

Fair to say, but I believe they were testing the waters again and again just to find a venue that was favorable, undermining whatever notion the original commenter was attempting to conjure about the definitive nature of legality here.

If the legality of a case like this is also supposed as a proxy for the (universal) morality of the verdict and the arguments Thiel likes to make about Gawker's journalistic sins it certainly seems like a federal suit would have been a more appropriate arena for proving the point.

Except that the incident was found to be newsworthy and not illegal in two previous cases, once in federal court and another attempt in Florida state court [1].

Shopping for a favorable venue, and convincing one jury in a civil case does not make for a very compelling argument of "illegality."

It also seems like they should control for the demographic subset of riders that own Teslas. It seems possible that affluent car owners have factors at play that affect the likelihood of a fatal accident vis-a-vis the global average.
