MinnPost Picks: on 404 errors, loud restaurants, and the next Yellowstone

“How the 404 Error Created the World Wide Web,” Popular Mechanics Next time you’re frustrated by a 404 error when surfin’ the ’net (quirky/cute/funny error page notwithstanding), just remember those pages are part of what makes the current web — in all its anarchy, for good or bad — possible. — Tom Nehil, news editor “Can't hear your dinner date? How noisy restaurants may be harming your health,” CBC The test for whether a restaurant is too loud should be when the server has to squat down next to each diner to hear their order. But even that doesn't persuade many restaurant operators to turn down the volume. This CBC News piece by Caitlin Taylor, Makda Ghebreslassie and Greg Sadler suggests it is more than a matter of discomfort. — Peter Callaghan, state government reporter “Moses Speaks Spanglish,” The Revealer Daniel José Camacho is a friend of mine, and in this piece he reflects on his own story through the lens of Moses. He talks about growing up speaking Spanish at home and English at school, translating for his family and learning the limitations of his ability to be at home in either language. He wonders if Moses, the Hebrew raised as an Egyptian, had an accent and was self-conscious about his broken Hebrew. He continues to read the Moses story as an allegory for the Latinx experience in America in fascinating ways. — Jonathan Stegall, user experience engineer “The Next Yellowstone,” The Modern West A Silicon Valley billionaire wants to create a privately owned national park that's as expansive as Yellowstone in northeast Montana. But there's a hurdle: People already live there. Wyoming Public Media takes a look at a land-use battle in the Great Plains. — Walker Orenstein, workforce and environment reporter
