FDA Pulling the Plug on Red 3: The Ugly Truth About Food Dyes Finally Exposed


It's already banned in cosmetics because it can cause allergic reactions... but the links with Cancer, Thyroid Issues and possibly ADHD are leading to this decision.

Finally They Are Taking Action

Takes them forever to fix these things!

Those of us with celiac disease are still lobbying for barley to appear on food label allergy lists - it's used in anything "malted" - including most candy - and contains gluten... but only wheat has to be declared.

Gah. Deleted my comment. I'm being too negative. Sorry.

We need to be able to trust people. We do not live in a society conducive to trust. Capitalism, as practised, erodes trust.

Trivia question: what crucial information technology turns 300 years old next year, and how is it related to this picture of the Crystal Palace?

As a couple folks have noted, Basile Bouchon invented the punched paper tape as a way to control the action of a loom in 1725. Eventually, the punched card would become a crucial tool for data processing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_…

The picture is a Stevengraph, woven on a Jacquard loom in 1886 to demonstrate the sophistication of the system. id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990146…

I’m working on a proposal for a small exhibition on the anniversary that brings the weaving history and computer history together. I probably won’t have room (because it’s so large) but we have a fascinating manuscript we think was created by a student or apprentice to demonstrate his mastery of the principles. id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/991565…

Scientific American delivers a scathing article about the theologists holding the majority in the US Supreme Court. It’s so good, and so tightly written, that it’s difficult to pull an excerpt without wanting to also include the lead in and follow up. I’ll tempt you with some opening paragraphs, but the article is brilliant and deserves to be read.

“In five instances, Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion confused nitrogen oxide, a pollutant that contributes to ozone formation, with nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas.

You can’t make this stuff up. This repeated mistake in the 5–4 decision exemplifies a high court not just indifferent to facts but contemptuous of them.”

The whole takedown system is majorly flawed and now it's going to be even worse. As long as there's no punishment for filing unwarranted DMCA/whatever takedown and sending the request is cheap/free accidents/incompetent/purposefuly evil takedowns will continue.

@Gargron @grishka the thing is that these dashes are not even on default layouts, on PC you either have to copy them manually, or install Birman's typographic layout.

But to be honest, I haven't memorized how punctuation works in English as my studying process wasn't focused on that

There is a bit of real money involved by miners who have purchased ungodly amounts of computing power, and who have to work to get their money back plus profit. After all bitcoin is based on proof of work.

But the value of bitcoin is still based on the value of privacy of transactions. That's why cash was invented.

in reply to Joseph Teller

Somebody send me a bitcoin receiving address or QR code and i'll send you $20 worth, just for giggles. It's just funny money to me now that it has appreciated 100 times what i invested (20 cents x 100 = $20).

Easy, just download a wallet app (or get account on coinbase), set it up and generate a receiving address. Hard part for converting to dollars is you have to sign up to an exchange, like coinbase, then you have to set up a wire transer to a bank to deposit cash. Or just let it sit for 5 years and it will be worth 10 times that much, lol.
