computers... a syllabary instead of an alphabet

Katakana has 16 consontants (four bits) and five vowels (three bits), which we can fit in the same space as 7-bit ASCII ...
Canadian Aboriginal is only 55 glyphs, tho some dialects want up to 25 more glyphs, for a total of 80. ...

But the A in ASCII is "American," so English phonemes.  UNIFON claims it can do all English phonemes in 40 characters -- 24 consonants 16 vowels.  With every syllable as "CV" that'd be 24*16 = 384 sylllables.  add a null consonant and a null vowel and it's 424 syllables (25*17 - 1 for the "null null" syllable).  384 and 424 would need 9 bits, bleah.

Solar-powered desalination device wins MIT $100K competition
Nona Desalination says it has developed a device capable of producing enough drinking water for 10 people at half the cost and with 1/10th the power of other water desalination devices. The device is roughly the size and weight of a case of bottled water and is powered by a small solar panel.
The traditional approach for water desalination relies on a power-intensive process called reverse osmosis. In contrast, Nona uses a technology developed in MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics that removes salt and bacteria from seawater using an electrical current.
The company has already developed a small prototype that produces clean drinking water. With its winnings, Nona will build more prototypes to give to early customers.
The company plans to sell its first units to sailors before moving into the emergency preparedness space in the U.S., which it estimates to be a $5 billion industry. From there, it hopes to scale globally to help with disaster relief. The technology could also possibly be used for hydrogen production, oil and gas separation, and more.

How to design roads that naturally make people want to slow down instead of just posting a sign and calling it good



It's time to end stroads. We should have streets and roads instead!
