Because it created an entire culture around it, our people's history. Parmigiano Reggiano was loved by Boccaccio already. Homer's Odyssey talks of what we would call Feta today. Egyptian murals detail cheesemaking.

Today, too, dairy is an important aspect of many cultures.

> Sandra Ott’s fascinating ethnography of Basque shepherds (Ott 1981) reveals much about the central role cheese can have in everyday life. In the remote French Basque Pyrenean village of Sainte-Engrâce, the cheeses that local syndicates of shepherds produce from their mountain huts takes so much care and attention that the resulting product is treated both metaphorically and ritually as their “children”. The formation of both babies and mountain cheeses alike are seen as analogous processes in the local worldview: “men’s generative creativity in procreation as in cheesemaking is believed to convey not only form but also identity. Basque cheeses, no less than children, have paternity and come from patrilineages (Paxson 2013: 52)”.

Dairy products aren't just food. They're millenia old culture and identity.
There’s so many stupid things about the revisions of Star Wars but that one was the most stupid.
Totally agree. Lately touch switches have been riddling every electric appliance: kitchen hood, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher... I think that being easier to clean doesn't pay off for the utter loss of usability. That's why I'm very fond of Breville (Sage here in Europe) appliances: they're covered with buttons and knobs.
Maybe another solution would be to encourage discussions before or after seeing movies about the stuff that hurts the current sensitivities.

Or, if the stuff we would like to edit is actually very annoying, have an edited version but keep the original.

I've been certainly annoyed by edits to songs and music videos. Yesterday I watched the video clip of Stan by Eminem. The copious editing of swear words, of mentions of violence and of screams at the end of the video makes the song annoying to listen to and a big part of the meaning is lost, the edited version is hard to understand. It's very annoying. Fortunately, I know the uncensored version. I understand that stuff related to violence can trigger traumas, but swear words are part of the music and are not actually offending, for fuck sake.

"Fucked up" just means "messed up", but more strongly said. I see no reason to censor that.
Here's a 5 minute video that would explain why the newer generations are so mad about the unethical practices of Dairy industry. I know it opened my eyes:

Especially this. I had too many times where the road was bumpy and I needed to press a button on the infotainment system. You need to rest your thumb off screen first in order to be able to press the correct button on the touchscreen. It's an unsafe way to control the car.
Haha, yes I have had similar experience with people focusing on asymptomatics. I think you are correct, these arguments could be good for a junior, but definitely not an obstinate one.
What makes "if you don't like it, then leave" a false dichotomy? Every free association between or among people is predicated upon a cost-benefit analysis of whether to stay or go.
I suspect that local milk is better for the environment (or less bad depending on how you look at it) than almond milk in most cases:

By far the largest producer of almonds is the USA, I think California mostly, which in itself has a large environmental impact, not least because of the water required. I am in the UK so I can reasonably assume that a lot of the almond milk I see in supermarkets comes from Californian almonds somehow shipped half across the world, whereas there are cows within walking distance from my home. And, of course, in any case there is no actual dietary need for people to drink either milk or milk alternatives (though most people here would argue that milk is required in tea...)

Frankly, this is no more than commercial interests vs. other commercial interests and most people are not interested in complexity, they want simple 'solutions' to feel good.
i remember something similar in Dubai, while riding in a taxi hearing the driver listening to the commentary on a cricket game:

very fast/excitedly: <something in Hindi><something in Hindi>"OUT OF THIS FIELD!!"<something in Hindi><something in Hindi>

I think code switching is often a really cool/cute thing but also cringey sometimes.

Thankfully I have physical knobs on my stovetop, so my current least favorite is my dishwasher. When am I practically guaranteed to have damp hands? After doing the dishes. When do I need to start the dishwasher? After doing the dishes. Why have an interface that requires dry (but not too dry!) fingertips?

The extra knife twist is that if I misjudge how wet my hands are, I get a little water on the dishwasher controls and then they don't work at all until I dry them thoroughly.
It would have been better shorter

Rhyming words and phrases that flow together seamlessly while keeping the rhythm and beat is difficult to compose. The rhymes have to be clever and creative but not forced.

Coming up with rhymes on the spot during a rap or poem requires wit and wordplay. The rhymes need to rhyme perfectly but not seem obvious or predictable.

Rhyming schemes and patterns add another layer of complexity. Using different rhyme schemes like AABB, AABA, ABAB, etc. and switching between them fluently is a challenge.

Subtle rhymes, double entendres, puns and wordplay take skill to craft into lyrics and verses. The rhymes should enhance the meaning and message, not seem tacked on.

Keeping the rhymes concise while conveying ideas requires precision with language. Loose or weak rhymes undermine the flow, rhythm and impact.

Rhyming about abstract concepts or in unconventional ways pushes the limits of rhyme and meter. Coming up with rhymes for uncommon words and phrases is difficult.

In summary, rocking rhymes that are right on time is tricky because it demands creativity, wit, precision, skill and pushing the boundaries of rhyme and rhythm. Strong rhymes that flow seamlessly are hard to compose on the spot.

It has been done, you can buy Chinese made very light 2 stroke engines packaged with a generator. Used for large hexes and octocopters. Incredibly noisy and the lightweight design of the engine means it has a very short time in hours operating before rebuild.

When I worked at an ISP we had standard procedures to follow when receiving requests from legal authorities. All our contacts were strictly mediated by our legal team, who filtered requests and prevented any direct contact with the authorities (which could lead to complying to illegal requests).
The inevitable result will be the destruction of the internet as we know it today. The international network will fracture into multiple regional networks with heavy filtering at the borders as nations seek to impose their laws on it. Regnet, if you will.

I'm glad I got to experience the true internet. It was great while it lasted. Truly a wonder of humanity.

I do not look at the buttons at all.

I keep my hands at about 2:30 and 10:30, just up against the the airbag cross-member. With my right hand I reach out and a tad down but not much and a bit forward and land on the temp knob (also a toggle push button for temp auto mode) and I can do this every time with perfect muscle memory, to the right of that are six buttons, the closest is the power toggle button, then there's the recirculate/outside switch button, then a pair of side by side buttons for fan up and down then vent modes and against the right edge is the ac toggle button.

It's a breeze to slide my finger across those buttons from closest to farthesst and know exactly where I am. Depending on which I'm after I can come in from the left or right side. Never need to look as the feedback for all of these is an environmental change I can sense by air movement or temperature or whatever, and so I generally know if I got something right or wrong without looking. On a rare occasion I'll be in a rush to flip from outside air to recirculate and will hit the fan down button but that's immediately recognizable and I correct and then easily reach the recirculate button.

Below that space under a lip in the dash face, is, first in line to the right of the temp knob, my 3 stage heated seat button, then the windshield defroster, then the big giant slightly elevated hazard button in the middle and the rear defroster to the right of that. Like with the controls above, I start at the temp dial for orientation and then can usually leap right to the button I want since that distinctive center hazard button provides wayfinding at the mid point.

Reaching down to the console I have two dials, a big one and a small one and I can easily land on the right one directly from the steering wheel in one jump. Then, still without looking, I can rest my hand on and move the dial leisurely, under no pressure for having my arm extended into space holding a specific pose, muscles poised to move quickly as soon as my gaze can align with my finger tips and the touch screen. Instead, my fingers fiddle the knob and usually get what I want on their own, or with only peripheral vision on the screen, but certainly those fingers can just sit there indefinitely until my eyes are safely free to make a glance that's not down at the knob, but due east, horizontally and to the right, atop the dashboard where a low and wide horizontal screen can be seen without losing peripheral vision directly in front of the vehicle and even some out to the left.

The two dials are also joysticks and push buttons. Navigating the stock software and Android Auto are about equally easy and only require peripheral vision on the high-mounted screen most of the time, or the occasional short glances where I can have my eyes on it and the road in front of me considerably more at the same time than if the screen were extending down toward or even to the console.

I've been through models of this same car that were screenless, fully touchscreen, hybrid, and now they've completely dropped the touchscreen and settled on dials and buttons far away from the screen. This is the way.
This sort of thing was even a problem 13 years ago. (https://www.overclockers.com/socket-1156-burning-issuesis-fi...)

It's not new- component OEMs just screw up sometimes.
I suspect that PGA sockets have less problem with this, though AMD has had just as long to get LGA right given their server processors have used it for nearly as long as Intel has so while it does happen, there really isn't any excuse for it.
I feel like industrial designers looked at Apple in the early 2000's with how well their touchscreens went, and just lost any sense of logic or sensibility. Everything had to be touchscreen, with no thought or reason put into why phones in particular needed touch screens.

Buttons meant there was less space for a screen. They couldn't make the display any bigger, or the buttons any smaller, so an innovation was needed. It's a unique device; the input is as important as the output. Designers don't seem to understand that.

A car has more space to put button and knobs than a mobile phone ever will. Not only that, while the output to the user required is minimal, but the input is critical. I need an input that is as easy and clear to activate as possible. All I need in response is a noise or light to tell me that the feature is active. A touch display might give me more visual feedback, but that is not the important factor!

Don't even get me started on capacitive touch buttons...
You are missing my point. It is entirely possible that GR is a complete theory of gravity. The final fate of collapse could be merely a simple singularity. There is absolutely no evidence to the contrary and, if general relativity is correct, no way for the scientific community to ever know.
History hasn't stopped, history, as in our chronological description of past events, has always been constantly edited, with the telling of the same events differing depending upon who is telling the story (and their motivations), and subject to interpretation based on current zeitgeist. There is a stream of immutable events in the past but "history" is not a stale recording of these events, it is a living process.
I don't think they were philanthropists before...

The problem is not wanting to be profit driven : I would argue they are not profit driven anymore. Their political obsessions and their probably poor recruiting process since years has led them to think their ideas and tastes are shared by the majority of people.

That depends on what your goal was? If your goal was to get an AI model to generate copyrighted images, and misunderstand the relationship between Indians and Asians, then sure MJ failed (and I'm guessing that's the goal of the prompt).

But if I actually wanted a useful picture, I could work with what MJ gave me despite having minimal image editing skills. The DeepFloyd result looks like it's a 8-12 months behind what MJ gave and wouldn't be salvageable.
1. It's a backward delta. So it's only needed when a transaction touches a row that has been modified by a concurrently running transaction. (Details differing depending on isolation level etc.). Writes can be faster because only the modified attributes need to be written to the delta undo log, not the whole row. I guess reads can be faster too in some cases, e.g. less fragmentation and wasted space (better cache usage,) over time due to in-place updates, and less pointer chasing to find the correct version if the vacuuming isn't keeping up with pruning old versions.

As for MySQL and locks, the original MyISAM table format used locks, but InnoDB tables are MVCC like pgsql.
Laser projection on windshield is by far the best invention in car security in past decades for me. I would make it mandatory in all new cars, much more important than over-turbocharged tiny fragile engines that have low consumption only on paper.

I literally don't lose sight of outside situation for hours. I have all the info I usually need - current speed, limit, any navigation info if I don't use google maps, selection of songs. Few buttons to control things on steering wheel is all you need.

And yes touchscreens were and are crap, didn't like first Teslas exactly due to that, while crowds were hyped how new and cool it looked, ignoring practicality and safety issues.
The main advantage of physical buttons compared to touch screens: you can't put ads in them. I immediately imagine a situation in a new car where the steering wheel has been replaced with a screen[1] and right as you drive, "you can regain control after watching this short five-second commercial".

> The only saving grace of those is the ease of cleaning spills.

Disagree. Spills can turn hobs on & off, and at best cause the entire control surface to lock up and start beeping - which can quickly turn worst, if a hob happened to turn on a split second earlier.

Knobs. On the front, not on the top.

You can touch and feel physical buttons without looking at them.

When you touch a touchscreen, you can't feel the buttons, and it always triggers whatever button you touched.

If you have so much trouble with physical buttons, then you'll have even more trouble with touch screens.

Maybe you should stay off the road.
Well, that was a rabbit hole to go in. I see that Bo had made no attempt to explain the situation to his followers over the years which isn't in his favor.
>Anything else suggests either we're stupid, or we want to be treated like we're stupid.

I have the same feeling when I use ChatGPT or even more so with Bingbot. They should ask for our age and then let the system respond without treating us like we are children incapable of critical thinking.

I asked ChatGPT about the allusion to the moon landing that could be seen in Kubrick's movie "The Shining" out of curiosity. The system agreed that Kubrick was notorious for using symbolism in his movies, but also mentioned that the theories about the landings were debunked and this interpretation was probably false at every turn.
Sure is, milk is drunk all over the world in large quantities. I can speak for Portugal, the milk aisles in the supermarkets are an order of magnitude larger than the soy, almond, etc "milks".

Without milk you won't have butter, mascarpone, cream, cheese and yogurt (and many spreads).

Milk is also the basis of most breakfasts around here, with granola and other cereals. We also give milk to children in school to help those that are poor and may not be eating properly at home.

On a lighter note, milk is essential for the confection of many cakes, for chocolate, ice cream, as well as for many recipes, sweet and sour.
Its a bit surprising that none seems to have invented base 2. It should be the most expressive way to count using fingers since it allows 32 number to be expressed with a single hand and 1024 numbers with two hands. But I guess that would be overengineering and annoying for most early cultures.
Yeah I remember seeing that in a talk about an ISP adding IPv6 support: https://youtu.be/75h4gm7t1oI . They say that 30% of traffic is IPv6, which means 30% less CGNAT hardware needed.
> Just use “English speaking” which has no racial overtones

A lot of countries are English speaking. It's not racial, it's cultural overtones, but I agree that it sounds segregating to other.
Dr Seuss books were recently recalled and remade to be less racist and to remove insensitive imagery. Bernstein Bears books all got replaced by Berenstein Bears books, so it's clearly not impossible to do.
> Physical buttons cleanly resolve all of these major problems

That’s not true with all buttons. Those infinitely turning dials have some of the same problems, especially with response latency and the same magnitude of input not always resulting in the same magnitude of change. The presence of the dial is better than the touchscreen, but with those dials you still need to monitor the screen to get feedback on how much change you’re (usually slowly) effecting.
Commendable, but I am sure there are alternatives that ran on machines with less than 500KB of memory.

> Among friends though, they don't have the patience and just plow through the conversation in their excellent English.

That's kinda sad. I totally get the impulse to do so, and once I've started speaking English I might not even notice I'm doing it, but if I know someone is learning it is IMHO the decent thing to do to try let them practice if it doesn't matter to get to the point quickly.

From the article:

> Later, several Telegram users said they could no longer use the messaging app after local carriers complied with the ruling. Google and Apple were also ordered to block the app.

So yes, apparently they can. Or did you think it needed Telegram's cooperation?

Even if it is possible to install apps manually, most users are not "power users" able or even just willing (or willing to learn) to do that. Another aspect of the much more curated software world of Android or iPhone vs. PCs, where blocking would indeed be mostly useless even for regular users.
