The tailings from the Bayer process for extracting aluminium oxide from bauxite aren't toxic. The remains ("red mud") have an elevated pH from the residual sodium hydroxide used in the extraction of the ore but that's ab

Well, keeping things private certainly rests on the security of devices and protocols. That being said, Apple investing heavily in making security unobtrusive isn't in itself a sign of weak security. A lot of it is just well engineered

Apple is actually not in the business of selling the data of their users. They will also risk aggravating large players in favor of improved privacy. A recent example: App Tracking Transparency [1] which makes tracking an opt-in feature to

As if there's a scarcity of food in the US so that missing out on calories from meat could not very easily be substituted. Incidentally that would also result in a diet commonly regarded as healthier.

China has a motive and they have the means. That much is undeniably true. What I expect to see is actual proof and not a case built on hearsay. My brand of skepticism requires it.

ESL is a whole different beast than pasteurization. It comes in two major versions: Microfiltration or a heating akin to UHT but shorter and at a lower temperature (127 °C vs 150 °C). Microfiltration won't change the taste, heating wil
