TLDR: Award-winning Danish high-end restaurant specialises in locally sourced highly-seasonal food, including ingredients which are foraged rather than farmed; has attached "Food lab" to find and promote innovative ways to use Scandinavian ingredients, including tasks such as finding out why wood ants taste like lemongrass and perfecting fermentation techniques.
If reading about high end food preparation makes you salivate it's interesting enough (and really not that long), but certainly doesn't justify the ludicrously hyperbolic headline.
Do you think the idea that the "future of food" revolves around high end restaurants putting arbitrary geographic restrictions on food sourcing isn't ludicrous or isn't hyperbolic? Why not?
Noma is much more than its geographic restriction. They experiment with insects, which are likely to be a important source of protein in the future and the novel application of preparation method, for instance fermentation. But the geographic restriction in itself is an important part of the future of food, in a world where climate change is a an existential threat and transporting bananas and rice 1000s of kms is not sustainable. Demonstrating to the world what can be done through local sourcing will be defining for the future of food.
It's wrong to think that asking for a summary before you decide to read a lengthy article is low class, or ADD, or whatever. Most articles are garbage, and there's nothing impressive about wasting your time. In academia, the tl;dr at the top is called an abstract, and it's crucial for allowing readers to navigate the literature.
In my dreams, the major link aggregators like reddit, HN, and Facebook distill a crowd-sourced abstract for every article making the rounds on social networks (rather than just compiling loose comments). Then a browser plugin shows them alongside the article.
Not sure what you mean. In the sense that it features user-submitted summaries for links, yes. But there are lots of blogs where each post is a selected link with some sort of background info. (E.g., Marginal Revolution also has this format for many links.) My dream is to have this for all sufficiently popular links going around the internet on a given day, and to let the summary get progressively more refined.
