in rot mode now. No better evidence than more than half of the US voted for the orange one.

This 'splains it:

TFA: "One of the course's tutors noted that students faced more issues with "logical thinking" than with math facts per se. They didn't know how to begin solving word problems."

There is an honest-to-goodness definition. Johns Hopkins has a good article about what UPFs are: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2...

The takeaway is - "Ultra-processed foods have one or more ingredient that wouldn’t be found in a kitchen, like chemical-based preservatives, emulsifiers like hydrogenated oils, sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, and artificial colors and flavors. UPFs undergo processing techniques like pre-frying, molding, extrusion, fractioning, and other chemical alterations that leave the final products bearing almost no resemblance to the original ingredients."

Comment Re:Websites "must" respect them (Score 1) 99

Why do the websites have the authority in the first place to tell your browser what cookies to store? This is 100% on browsers to restrict what websites can do with cookies.

Firefox has offered this ability for, like, 20 years. And, 20 years later, it is still the only significant browser to do so.

Safari does block third-party cookies by default - which is certainly a good thing, but still not quite there.

There are already http headers for do not track and it is a standard. Just force websites to respect that under threat of enormous penalties, that is all that is needed!

Of course, they can make that as annoying as heck too. In fact, during the past few weeks I've visited multiple websites that have apparently decided it's a good idea for them to tell me (via a raised notification I have to manually dismiss) that they are honoring my browser's enabled "do not track" setting.
