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 consume…

That taboo is long since gone (I'm assuming you're talking about South Asia, though).

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 a…

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 …

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 ta…

Lowered IQ, impulse control, and increased levels of aggression.

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 bec…

In general, when the SHTF, or things rapidly deteriorate. When the war finally starts. Etc.

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 Compa…

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…

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 co…

In California, at least, they seems to be recommending it. (I'm currently in the market to replace my Central Air system and talking to vendors.)

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 c…

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 compati…

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. T…

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 lan…

It's guaranteed to increase. The question is how fast will it increase, and will it increase more slowly than expected.

Here's the original article it links to: https://apnews.com/article/india-coal-pause-plan-climate-ren... Some of the useful tidbits: - India currently plans on reaching net-zero by…

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. *impressm…

I presume there always are people always flying in from overseas into one of the larger airports and catching a connecting flight domestically. It'll become annoying if they sudden…

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks From the article akmittal posted at https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/apple-gets... >> The local value addition in iPh…

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 assem…

Downvotes for that? Okay, let me rephrase that. How much value is added to the phones in India?

I wonder what the value add in India is.
