This question popped into my head after an ADHD moment of deconstructing the concept that humans willingly drink cow milk on an industrial scale. Would you drink milk if it was human women pumping the milk themselves?
One thing I’ve heard mentioned is that the vegan restriction on animal milk is actually about consent, which humans can give (especially when paid), so human milk can be vegan. That opens up the possibility of vegan cheese, butter, etc. but as true dairy products. Seems like an untapped niche to me.
Can’t wait for people with these to talk on speakerphone in public (or just play their music at max volume)
On the other hand I wonder if “600% higher” is just 8.5 dB louder. (700% total) - which isn’t nothing, but “In general, to measure loudness, a sound must be increased by 10 dB to be perceived as twice as loud.”
Serious answer: Posits seem cool, like they do most of what floats do, but better (in a given amount of space). I think supporting them in hardware would be awesome, but of course there’s a chicken and egg problem there with supporting them in programming languages.

Installing almost anything* on Windows requires the equivalent of sudo, same as Linux.
Determining if it’s a normal install or adding a kernel driver wouldn’t be feasible just by watching the installation. (On either OS if they are not showing terminal output)
EDIT:
My context here (which I should have been explicit about sooner) is: “ordinary user is installing a closed source commercial large game” (with its own installer) and doesn’t know if they are also getting a free rootkit.
They are going to just click Next without changing defaults, and are not going to extract and inspect anything.
The issue is that some of the brands are intentionally destroying unsold clothing so ‘the poors’ can’t end up wearing their brand and I guess diluting the brand’s reputation or something.
Researchers have detected one of the most powerful cosmic rays ever seen slamming into Earth — but they have no idea what caused it or where it came from.

Saying the OMG particle was traveling more than 99.9% of the speed of light is a bit like saying the volume of the sun is greater than 1 cubic meter. It’s not false but Really undersells the real number, which is even listed in the article they linked about it: 99.99999999999999999999951% of C.

My guess (and I think I read other people guessing this) was that the banks were pushing them to ban porn, and by announcing it the way they did, they were able to get cancellations data proving that they would die, so if the banks wanted any money from them at all in the future they had to back off, and did.
If it was marketing, then it probably backfired enormously - OF barely had competition that I heard of before then, but certainly did immediately after the announcement.
So are most gender neutral bathrooms at businesses. I bet most of the conservatives don’t care if they are, and if asked would still oppose them on principle (even if they don’t actually notice when they use them at businesses)
