I'm not even a native Spanish speaker and I was surprised to find that I could follow along pretty well using the subtitles.
citrus1330··on More than eighty cultures still speak in whistles
If you read the article you would know.

"Despite their interest to both linguists and casual observers, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and some — such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico — have already vanished. Modernization is largely to blame, says Meyer, who points to roads as the biggest factor. “That’s why you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less contact with modernity, less access to roads,” he says."

The article actually says the exact opposite. Can you read? Here's the quote:

"That doesn’t mean that modern whistled speech is a vestigial remnant of those protolanguages, Meyer cautions. If whistling preceded voiced speech, those earliest whistles wouldn’t have needed to encode sounds produced by the vocal cords. But today’s whistled languages do, which means they arose later, as add-ons to conventional languages, not forerunners of them, Meyer says."

citrus1330··on Show HN: Collaborative Online Sticky Notes
As a heavy user of the built-in mac and windows sticky notes applications, I wanted something similar that would persist between all of my devices. Another feature I wanted was the ability to share notes with other people and edit them together. That's why I built Cloud Stickiez, a web application that lets you create sticky notes online, organize them in boards, and share your boards with other people. I started this project a few years ago but I didn't get a chance to add the collaboration features until recently. I built this using Angular and Firebase because they were technologies that I wanted to try out at the time.
