Well, the article’s focus is on asynchrony. Naturally then, it talks about closures within the context of asynchrony and to the extent that it is relevant.

The author could have made the topic about closures, but that’s not what they wanted to talk about.

You should read the article! The author goes into this in fascinating detail.

You write it on local media and kept it on-premises?

Cloud is the new thing, I hear.

Same here. You may also like “The Big Flower Fight” on Netflix.

Cool! If you do, I’d be curious to hear about your experience.

I know what you’re saying, but at some point you could argue we “ARE eating the wrong thing”, considering our population size.

Said differently, I hypothesize that it would be more practicable to create policies that influence what we eat and how that food is produced, compared to creating policies that try to reduce population size. If anything, it appears that more advanced countries are competing to gain population so that the machinery of their societies can keep chugging along in the name of growth.

EDIT: elsewhere in the thread I see people comment on multi-use of animals vs plants, and the consequent implication of increased use of undesirable synthetics/plastics if we raise fewer animals. Systems get complex, and their behavior can change drastically in surprising ways if you start fiddling. But fiddling we must.
