Great write-up! I tried something similar for modelling out the Snowplow release dependency chain (https://github.com/snowplow/) - I gave up and started looking at SaaS alternatives, but inspired by this I am going to try again.

For the record, I didn't find any good product management or project management tools (SaaS or desktop) which acknowledge that roadmapping any sufficiently complicated platform or product family is best expressed by a directed acyclic graph. Casual.pm had the right concept (https://casual.pm/) but the implementation was very primitive.
That's a really good point. I'm definitely in favor of processing, just picky about the end results. Removing microplastics sounds like a great process. Improvements like this to salt farming could have huge benefits.
I think Estonia will pull this off and it will be useful. Take a look at their success with e-voting, for example. Is any other country even close to these numbers?

I mean I'm glad that when I call 911 the dispatching system probably isn't written in JavaScript, but it's likely that there's a web ui somewhere in there. Police cars too, run web applications on those touchscreens.

despicable. If the engineers are incompetent, is it time technology displace them entirely?
Or you could dispense with all the uphill iceskating and simply put it in salt.
Someone can correct me but I'm going to guess you'd just piss most of that out.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love me some French grey fleur de sel, which has a bit of a fun flavor from the clay in it. Smoked salt is amazing, too.

It's the people who think thallium is an important nutrient in Himalayan salt that are of concern to me.
Agreed. Even in the heyday of the 70s and 80s, people sprayed over each others paint, be they the owners or other rival taggers. So, historically, it has been impermanent.
That would make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Adding a small bag of sodium iodate to a big bag of sodium chloride and mixing requires no skill or special equipment and any idiot, or shall I say cretin, can do it. Whereas running a bioreactor and somehow convince people of eating the gunk that comes out of it is far more complicated and expensive.

Edit: and you'd still have to add iodine to said bioreactor, you might as well add it directly to the salt.
The advice seems to be for aspiring writers, and I'm glad it is because I'm not one and I enjoy reading too much to limit myself to one subject or author.

What does webasm enable that would cause such a massive difference in how people create web pages? Everything it does could be done now with javascript or asm.js, all webasm does is enable the same things to run faster.

I can't think of a single site that works like you are saying, yet webasm would only be a 2x-8x speedup over existing techniques.
But those are the honest ones!
You should rename Angular to Angular.js in your comparison. They are two completely different frameworks.
The other correlation/causation error is the idea that the desynchronization of the waves is a cause of the issue rather than a symptom. It's a bit like listening to a car's engine and saying that cars that go slowly are doing so because their engines are emitting a low-pitched sound instead of a higher-pitched one.

I don't know what idealistic/philosophical point you are trying to make, but we also do things like water fluoridation. Salt happens to be a very convenient medium for iodine.
I remember reading that, even in the English countryside in the past, goitre was frequent among those who 'drank pond water' and thus missed out on any soluble naturally-occurring additives. And the cause was a mystery to everyone, of course.

> In fact, Kazakhstan has become an example of how even a vast and still-developing nation like this Central Asian country can achieve a remarkable public health success.

> Even moderate deficiency, especially in pregnant women and infants, lowers intelligence by 10 to 15 I.Q. points, shaving incalculable potential off a nation’s development.

> All of them — Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrghzstan — saw their economies break down with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Yes, Kazakhstan is a developing country according to the IMF and those who have seen Borat. Using it as an example of the public health success going on in Central Asia is disingenuous however because Kazakhstan is remarkably wealthy compared to its neighbors[0]. It's GDP PPP per capita at $25,263 is only a little behind the digital darling Estonia's at $29,364. Kazakhstan's neighbors like Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have theirs at $3,551 and $2,980 respectively.

A lay western reader not knowing is particularities of Central Asia could easily make assumptions and walk away from this article with erroneous ideas. The article, in my reading and without the context, suggests a iodine->health->wealth causality. In Kazakhstan's case oil->wealth->health would be more apt.

The causality actually goes the other way. The Morton Salt Company revolutionized salt by adding minute amounts of clay to prevent caking, which is one of the advantages that allowed them to achieve a near monopoly in salt production at the time iodine deficiency became understood. That meant that iodizing Morton's salt was basically iodizing all the salt.

However, the iodine is independent of the anti-caking additives. You can have iodized salt which still cakes up when it is humid, but why would you want to?
> “The only way to refuse the data transfer for “business intelligence” purpose is to uninstall the application,” the CNIL said in a statement.

Yes. How can we help improve nutrient availability, generally?

From what I pointed out below, this salt processing seems to have underappreciated trade offs. But most importantly, the overarching picture of nutrient availability, not just for iodine, seems to have a bigger challenge at hand worth solving than simply using salt as a vehicle for one - which spirulina would help with in terms of protein and mercury / biotoxin removal, for example.

Do you think it's reached the point where Crystal should consider some way to get funding outside of just Manas to allow for some full-time development on the project? I think it deserves full time developers, and there may be sources of untapped funding for potentially doing this if there is interest.

It may also make sense (at some point) to consider putting together a nonprofit that could make it easier to get access to this sort of funding in the future.

In case you didn't run in to this - the violence was related to his views on modernity.

He seems to have walked the line between spree-killer style arbitrary violence and political terrorism. It's a strange situation; there was a clear political philosophy (anarcho-primitivism, roughly), but it's one too rare to have other violent supporters. What would we have called anarcho-communist violence if there had only been one person total who engaged in it?

It's a strange case all around, but definitely made stranger by his adopting a viewpoint that was obscure, but not unique.
I think the easiest way to explain complex numbers is to first ask a question, "How do you multiply two dimensional numbers?" The other person always comes up with some answer like (a0+b0)x(a1+b1) = a0a1 + b0b1 or the factorization. You can easily show that this isn't consistent, and usually the student quickly starts looking for answers to prove you wrong. It becomes quickly easy to talk about how complex numbers can be used to work in two dimensions, and being able to explain concepts like closure and fields without using those words.

There is no need to jump to quaternions (which is 4D, not 3D, and the point has been missed here), like the author does. There is a much simpler case that people are more familiar with. The problem with the article is that it does not gauge its audience well. As another commenter mentioned, pictures help. With this discussion on two dimensions you can use a lot of great graphics out there and talk about the beauty of Euler's formula. These topics all generalize, but it is ludicrous to talk about the generalization first.

» The CNIL said it had repeatedly asked WhatsApp to provide a sample of French users’ data transferred to Facebook but the company had explained it could not do so as it is located in the United States and “it considers that it is only subject to the legislation of this country.” «

That's a very interesting quote from Facebook, and explains why the GDPR has a special section explaining that it also applies to foreign companies that process data of EU citizen.

In general, Facebook is trying to set a dangerous precedent here. A company operating in our countries, taking our data, owning property in our countries, having employees in our countries, owning critical infrastructure in our countries (WhatsApp has basically replaced SMS and other messaging infrastructure), yet refusing to acknowledge the laws of the countries they operate in.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by "usefulness". I know that sounds weird, but they say they're not aiming to meet "standard principles of progress, universality and efficiency".

I was just thinking about this the other day, recalling how I visited Barcelona a week after the attacks in trying to convince a friend to travel to a place with [constant] conflict despite an increased perceived state of conflict v. as per usual, but these events come and go it seems, the media publishes the stories, it's all sensationalized with Facebook profile picture changes and "we stand in solidarity" but what are the learnings and next-steps to preventing such events? Certainly, we don't hear as ofteon of each successful prevention of a terrorism attempt but too little information on progress made makes improvement and impact difficult to measure and critique !
You are saying the same thing as he is. Javascript's impact on load time hasn't been a deterrent to people using mountains of bloat in their page.

Thus, webasm being a few times faster to download and parse won't change a whole lot, since few web developers seem to care much about the speed of their pages.

If webasm won't change much, then it isn't reasonable to predict a future of web pages that simply render to the canvas.
Have you seen https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/3582 ?
The thing I don't understand is the insistent nagging and it's persistence that a restart NOW is really needed and then often forcing you to restart.

This all worked perfectly on windows 7. It downloaded in the background and would install whenever I restarted the system myself. No nagging, ever. Of course, I get why some people might have problems with automatic downloads or automatic installation on restarts, but I feel it was still worlds apart from the current windows 10 behavior and a good compromise between staying up to date and getting annoyed. So why has this actually changed? Why does it need to nag all the time now and force-restart in the middle of the workday? Who gains form this?
EV chargers exist in many areas, but fast chargers are much thinner on the ground.

So currently, you need to park by a non-fast-charger for 6+ hours at your destination if you want to consume your full range one way. And if all the chargers are in use/broken when you arrive, you’re pretty screwed. Broken is surprisingly common, there appears to be an agency problem with charger maintenance.

I was disappointed to realize this; I’m going to have to borrow a Prius to make my winter break 300 mile road trip. My wife just wasn’t interested in the adventure of searching for available, not currently broken chargers to get the extra 75 miles of range we’d need.

Tesla owners have a better experience in this regard.

I've found it quite hard to get non-technical people on board with this.
An more general overview of possible approaches (not just applying to lithium) is also worth a read, "Mining valuable minerals from seawater: a critical review" [1].

Approaches to oceanic mineral extraction and R&D towards making it more economically viable should be of increasing interest given the changing mineral demands imposed by vehicle electrification and shifting generation. I think this is an area that should be getting a significant amount of long baseline R&D from both government and industry right now. Viable seawater recovery would not merely have major economic and environmental implications, it could have dramatic geopolitical effects too by diversifying potential key mineral inputs from limited land based point sources to "anywhere with ocean access", just as solar and vehicle electrification will decentralize energy markets, so countries should consider it not just a good economic hedge/planning but an area with strategic implications.

Worth remembering also that "viable" is a shifting baseline that depends on economic demand, just as it is with anything else (like oil for example). It doesn't necessarily have to ever be cheaper then the cheapest concentrated mineral source if value rises enough, and merely having viable techniques that could in principle be deployed may help set a price ceiling and limit the geopolitics that could be played.
