The real problem here is that the FDA is recommending throwing out the butter purely based on the labels. If they said, "throw out the butter if you (or whomever would have consumed it) have an allergy to milk as this is dairy milk-bas

This reminds me of when Sony disabled their officially supported OtherOS support (used to install Linux and other os's dual boot) with an update. Of course without the update, no access to the Sony Store, games that require the latest

Your politicans, like Malcolm Turnbull in 2017, believe that the laws of Australia trump the laws of Mathematics, in the context of trying to weaken strong encryption. In at least some areas, they need a better education.

It makes sense but it's not trivial to discover, since languages separated by about 10,000 years have changed enough that it's almost impossible to find similarities. This paper talks about separations from 12-24 thousand years. P

There's been a massive problem of diploma mills, both in America, and even worse in Canada, where colleges have basically been admitting students for fake degrees for pay, just because it gets them work permits post graduation much mor

No, you're not. The Republic of the Marshall Islands is the closest thing to being a US Protectorate without being a US posession. It is officially an Associated State with a Compact of Free Association with the US. Its (non-naturalize

Now I wonder whether wearing photochromatic lenses (transitions lenses) would have reduced the damage. I do believe they are triggered by UV.

Malabaric seems to be both Malayalam and Tamil here. Malabaric 2 is from Tranquebar -- the Danish factory in modern Tamil Nadu. Malabaric 3 could read as Tamil, and I believe could read as Malayalam too, but I'll ask the Malayalam spea

2 decades ago, when X windows support for Indian language display in Unicode was spotty at best, I'd created an LD_PRELOAD hack, libxindic, to do character reordering for mostly correct display (It really didn't do the right thing

I'd like real numbers, but I've come across, a disproportionate number of people in interreligious, inter-ethnicity marriages, and presumably inter-caste marriages, except that I can't really tell one's caste unless they

I think the question we need to ask is how fast climate can change and how much can climate change. For which I'd say, at a rate and total amount of change low enough to be compatible with the survival of human civilization, not having

The written forms of some Afro-Asiatic languages often did not (and still don't) include vowels, as they didn't provide any information that couldn't be gathered through context. The actual languages did have vowels. Coptic,

One of the examples for Devanagari that is claimed to be broken is a nonsensical combination that really isn't supposed to work either as per any of the Devanagari script using languages or the Unicode standard. Devanagari (roughly spe

The UK made concessions too late. By the time they decided to stop kidnapping* American sailors and forcing them to work in the British Navy, the war had already started. *impressment is the word they used.

My understanding is that from the article, assembly was being done, not complete manufacturing. Which means that many of the components are imported components that are being assembled. Parts from one country may get transported to another
