The article touches this briefly: I think it's horrible that the antivax movement successfully managed to push a working lyme vaccine off the market, based on concerns that turned out to be false. Every time you get a tick you should r

But is a "real milk alternative" available in the US? Perfect Day seems to only sell ice cream. (I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but from what I can tell vegan ice cream alternatives are already pretty good. It's actual

Are they? I can't access the article behind the paywall, but I ultimately have a very simple question: Where can I (living in Germany, Europe) buy one of these milk alternatives that tastes like milk? Can you name a shop? I would like

Netscape changed massively between 4 and 6 (which was the first version based on the Mozilla codebase). AFAIR in 4 CSS support was very preliminary, while in 6 it was best what you could get at the time.

That's not how it works. A single ISP can't do anything about the situation. They can provide IPv6 to their customers, but they still need IPv4 so their customers so they have a usable internet connection. It doesn't help the

If anything this message says something about the abysmal state of IPv6. Ultimately the goal of IPv6 is to end IP scarcity. But it can only do this if close to 100% of users and services use IPv6. Seeing it like that it doesn't really

This HFCS story is a bit of a strange thing. At some point it was marketed as a more "natural" alternative to plain sugar. Then it became the villain and people said you should use normal sugar. The truth is: HFCS is not much diff

I had quite a few twitter discussions on this already. It's an interesting paper and I think a valuable contribution to the discussion. Though it should be noted that the authors make a lot of assumptions (naturally) and some of them a

Something that shoudln't be unterestimated is vested interests in gas grids, particularly local gas grids. Lots of municipalities own gas grids or companies partly owned by the municipality own them. Your local major probably doesn&#x2

I think you have an overly optimistic view of sea turbines. They're more expensive, require more infrastructure (pylons and electricity lines aren't conflict free either) and there are a lot of conflicts around use of seawaters. A

Given how many discussions I had in the past about people insisting to support legacy, unsupported browsers I'm surprised "5% of our users use it" isn't enough to convince almost everyone to support it.
