A commercial airplane vanished, and more than five years later its precise whereabouts remain unknown. Yet a great deal about the disappearance of MH370 has come into clearer view: on.theatln.tc/JjHulUa

I'm in @TheAtlantic today writing about how the boomer generation ruined everything. It's basically a summary of my @AEI report arguing that the post-War period saw an incredible swift "aging" of American institutions. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

If I remember correctly, Lübeck's center (small, delimited by water) has strict rules on rebuilding things in the old style rather than building anything that looks new. That's how they have a city that looks like this after significant WWII damage.

But at least the airports are allowed to charge landing fees in a way that discourages congestion.

Many airlines use their internationally configured aircraft for domestic flying at some times of day. But it's hard to get only those if a significant part of your flying is domestic. That said, accurate memory might only cover the past year or so.
Firefox blocks rendering on stylesheets in the head, and also blocks script execution on them. Issues can result from things like <script defer> that runs at weird times, addons that run their own script at weird times, and perhaps some other bugs.
Curious what addons in use.

Is your Firefox up to date? We've released a few security fixes over the past week, so if you haven't restarted your browser in the past few days, go ahead and check About Firefox to make sure you've got the latest.

Then again, looking more closely, I think you did include Lyon, so maybe I'm OK with it being a northern boundary...

Exactly!
With a 3.5M unit shortage, Palo Alto's fair share of that is perhaps 15,000-25,000 units. (On population ratio alone it would be 6,000, but...)
With 2.5M instead, maybe 12,000-16,000 units?
But Palo Alto is failing to reach its goal of building 300 units per year.

In some American cities, it would take someone with the median income more than 40 years to save up a standard down payment for a house, writes @alexismadrigal. on.theatln.tc/IJfKIJm

After months of reporting, today we published our first investigation into empty storefronts, starting with SF's North Beach, where the number jumped from 28 to 45 in just a year. We found numerous challenges – and some potential solutions sfchronicle.com/business/art… w/ @Shwanika

Today, Mother Jones published my 30,000-word, year-long investigation into America's role in the Syrian civil war. I traveled to the country to track down the CIA, special forces, anarchists, and jihadists who fought there. motherjones.com/politics/201…

Looks like it was added in 2011 in github.com/h5bp/movethewebfo… -- not sure what the doc looked like then.
