Out of curiosity, last year, I purchased some test strips to test my drinking water. The strips showed typical contaminates: arsenic, lead, copper etc. they all registered in the "acceptable range". In the test, there was a test strip for QUATs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_ammonium_cation), which caught my attention. It wasn't something that I would have thought to test for, but my water tested positive. I was curious, so I started testing other local water sources including bottled water from various brands; to my surprise they all tested positive for QUATs. The only local water I could find that didn't contain QUATs was distilled.
I thought maybe it was just in my area, so I started taking the test strips with me when I traveled. In the last year, I've tested the drinking water in multiple states and countries, and only one source has tested negative for QUATs. It was the water from a drinking fountain in the San Francisco Airport, interesting enough.
My suspicion is that QUATs are often flushed down the drain, and the molecules must be too small to be filtered out in the water treatment process.
I haven't found much research on the impact of QUATs on the human body, but I can help but think our mitochondria would be susceptible to damage.
I switched to Apple Passwords and have been using the official Chrome extension for a few months. It's not as seamless as some of the password manager extensions, but has been working well enough.

How would you invest based on this prediction?
I had the same problem, when connected to a USB-C monitor I wanted to use the keyboard, but not the built in monitor. Even with the display backlight off the fan would still run. After a lot of searching I found that you can disable the built in monitor by:
- Booting into recovery mode - Opening Terminal - Entering `sudo nvram boot-args="niog=1"` - Restarting - Close the clamshell - Plug in the external monitor - Open the monitor
I hope that helps.

Interesting. Ive said that the touch bar was the first step in a new paradigm. Maybe the next step is connect your iPhone as the display. That would explain why Apple stopped investing in displays.
Yes it does
In an post release interview Jony Ive implied that the touch bar was the first step in a new paradigm.
Imagine the Photoshop toolbar being available on your iPad's touch screen, while you're editing a photo on your Mac. Or playing a video game while using your iPhone for controls.
Edit: To the idiomatic point. The first thing that struct me when using React, was that instead of having to use a custom Component for a for loop I could just use someArray.map(). I see this as a similar situation.
const App = () => (
<BrowserRouter>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<Match exactly pattern="/" component={Home} />
<Match pattern="/about" component={About} />
<Miss component={NoMatch}/>
</BrowserRouter>
)
Couldn't we take it one step farther and just use a switch statement? It seems like using pure JavaScript would be more idiomatic React. The URL pattern could be parsed in the data layer, and passed down as props. That way the components don't rely on global state, making them easier to test. const App = (screen, args) => {
let content;
switch (screen) {
case 'home':
content = <Home args={args} />
break;
case 'about':
content = <About args={args} />
break;
default:
content = <NoMatch args={args} />
break;
}
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
{content}
</div>
)
}
It's probably just a matter of preference. Recently I started using React-Storybook, so I've become addicted to "dumb" components.
