sundance0··on Transactional HTML Email Templates
Most browser-based email clients (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) strip out the head and body tags from HTML emails. You never really know what's going to be removed, so the safest thing is to inline all of your styles.
sundance0··on Transactional HTML Email Templates
These are great, and really simple to use. Already adapted for my latest project!

Also, if you didn't catch it in there: the [premailer][1] library is awesome, and helps make email templates more manageable (use CSS/LESS/SCSS styles like normal, then run your HTML email through premailer before shipping and it'll inline everything for you). I use the Python library with Django to preflight emails before sending. Works like a charm!

Also available in Ruby, Node, and PHP flavors

sundance0··on Filecoin – Data storage network and crypto-currency based on Bitcoin
> Although in fact the decline of the value of the dollar is relatively predictable because of the Federal Reserve's policy goal of keeping inflation relatively low and the law of large numbers as applied to the generation of the real rate of inflation.

That's a crucial point. If the Fed didn't pledge to keep inflation under control, the dollar wouldn't be such a great store of value or medium of exchange. It's the stability promised by central banks that allow you to "predict the value of a dollar" in the immediate future.

sundance0··on Y Combinator has filed an official comment with the FCC
> Y Combinator is Silicon Valley’s premiere early stage investor.

Shouldn't it be 'premier'? I know, not a big deal, but a mistake on the first line doesn't scream 'Best in the Business' if you ask me.

Looks like that bracket called that game correctly. He's still 31/31 according to that link.
