The hysteria over synthetic drugs in general is unwarranted, reactionary nonsense.
It sounds like you have some knowledge and evidence of their safety. Knowledge that neither I nor the rest of the world has. Why don't you share it then?
From what I've read and seen of the medical issues associated with these untested substances the reactions seem entirely appropriate.
I wondered that, too. It seemed like it was just absentmindedly forgotten to be mentioned. On a second, closer read, I realized that it was actually a design issue. The default text was chosen to be grey, and the link text color to be dark blue-grey. Essentially, links are indistinguishable from the text they are interspersed with. If you click the link and jump to it when you see it in the first paragraph, you'll find further details. "As you know, Stefan H from Ericson R&D, and Chair of the webrtc working group @ w3c and myself have been instrumental in starting the webrtc in webkit initiative[THAT WAS THE LINK!]."
...it gives you this:
"WebRTC is a set of browser APIs and protocols being worked on by the W3C and IETF standardization bodies. With WebRTC, developers can quickly add real-time peer-2-peer audio, video and data capabilities to their web applications through a set of standardised JavaScript APIs.
WebKit today lacks support for this exciting new standard. Our intention is to add WebRTC support to WebKit, starting with the WebKit GTK+ port (Linux), by means of the OpenWebRTC implementation. Much of the WebRTC support will be implemented in the core of WebKit and therefore shared among all WebKit ports. This will also enable integration of other WebRTC backends such as webrtc.org."
It would have been nice if that had just been summarized and added into the post though. It's kind of annoying to have to jump around to a bunch of different places when all you're trying to do is soak up information quickly and move on to the next thing. It really pulls you out of the flow of the article, gets you out of the mindset of "I'm just sitting here reading an article." (into something more like "now here's a 1. visual puzzle where I have to figure out which elements are clickable, and 2. one too many click-throughs and back-buttons, figuring out where I was back on the main page, and trying to resume reading.
