Yes, how not to die of botulism: understand home food preservation.
That's to say: bad bacteria proliferates without oxygen, without salt and without acid, that's why garlics in oil is a death recipe, it's not only the absence of oxygen but also the high ph and absence of salt.

Understand the bacterias ecosystem is also a good way to understand home food preservation, in a salty and no oxygen environment (like salted water) you incentive lactobacillus that will consume sugars to produce lactic acid (and thus lower the ph), hence not a good environment for Clostridium Botulinum and fungi...so yes you can use heat to kill Clostridium Botulinum but you can also use other bacterias and the environment, the problem with heat is that you often kill "all" the bacterias leaving a highway for "pathogen" ones if the heating was not done properly.

Lacto-fermentation is a fascinating world: https://www.thespruce.com/g00/how-lacto-fermentation-works-1...

And as a french guy, here we know a lot about cheese and lacto-fermentation :-) as all cheese, after coagulation, start from the transformation of lactose (a sugar) to lactic acid thanks to the bacterias (and lot of french cheese use...salted water).

UPDATE: the official recommandations to remove the toxin produced by Clostridium Botulinum: boil during 10 minutes, to kill the spore: heat above 120°C during at least 30 minutes, to prevent its proliferation in the first place: water with NaCl at a 15% concentration, OR 2% of acetic acid (vinegar) OR oxygen (but in that case the fungi will gently occupy the place).

Reddit is only marginally better than twitter.

* They're launching new user profiles that center around the user; see the Washington post's Reddit account

* Reddit's model of communities is fundamentally broken. Each sub, unless STRONGLY curated like AskHistorians, develops its own hivemind. Post against the grain and receive downvotes, then take the downvote train as people LOVE to pile on downvotes.

* Reddit's upvote / downvote system is fundamentally broken. Easy to parse, light content or quips / jokes get hundreds of upvotes while actual, informational but boring responses get buried way below.

* Reddit has BLATANT advertising masquerading as user posts to big subs like Pics or MildyInteresting, or TodayILearned. Perfect usage of brand names, convenient brand symbol or product positioned perfectly, etc. And somehow posts that are straight up advertising get thousands of upvotes quickly.

* Reddit has done nothing about certain subreddits automatically banning people who post in X Y Z other subreddits, regardless of the content of their response.

* Their CEO, Spez, shadow edited people's comments in the_donald without telling anyone. Ellen Pao even commented on this and nothing fucking happened.

Etc. there are plus sides to reddit, but very few subs worth commenting in unless you have the popular opinion.
What is it about cooked and chilled rice that makes it a leading source of food poisoning?
Interesting to see all the hate in the comments. I don't really know much about WU except for what I experienced when I volunteered at a refugee camp on lesvos. Western Union was a lifeline for many people. It was very common for people to get sent $ from friends and family for a ticket to the mainland or for some supplies. Asking for directions to the western union was one of the most common questions I received.

Unlikely, even if it you managed to get superheated water into a cup would would instantly flash into steam under standard pressure if you disturbed it. You wouldn't have a chance to hand it to the customer.
Going by the definition in the linked page what do you think isn't satisfied?

>> Someone was killed as a result of the defendant's actions.

The victim got out of the car and only got back in because the defendant told him to.

>> The act either was inherently dangerous to others or done with reckless disregard for human life.

She may not have intended to kill him but given she knew of the poor mental state he was in, plus the fact he had just backed out of killing himself, it seems reckless to then tell him to get back into the car.

>> The defendant knew or should have known his or her conduct was a threat to the lives of others.

As above really.
Yes, also in Germany.
It’s a simple account where all you can do is put money and get it back. There’s no overdraft.

We have the same law in France and the EU recently passed a similar directive.
But what is the actual advantage of this RF system? Why is this any better than just using a camera and image processing?

OK, RF would mean the lane geometry can be "seen" through all weather conditions (fog, snow). But so does precise-enough mapping/fleet learning. Neither would help in detecting traffic and transitory obstacles that might be hidden by that fog - you still need other sensors for that!

A "safe" autonomous vehicle should perhaps simply slow down in adverse weather conditions just as a human driver would. Even without additional sensors, their ability to see through snow and fog is certainly no worse than a humans.
That same state and other federal employers probably also mandate recipients of welfare or wages must be paid into a bank account. They get the upside of this so universal access to a basic bank account is a far compromise. Its insane imo that im forced to do business with a private bank for practically 99% of jobs including those of my own government.
> This was an extremely important part of the workflow we set up long ago, to ensure integrity

I guess I didn't make my question clear enough which is why that sort of integrity matters. Is it just in response to government legislation that has nothing to do with the usefulness of the ID, or is there some sort of measurable impact on the effectiveness of the ID if that sort of integrity is not followed?

A crappy photograph with no compression artifacts is arguably a worse form of ID than a very well taken image that has compression artifacts. And with an extra layer of lamination and holographic images superimposed across the pictures, why is that allowed but discreet photo manipulation isn't? Is it just that the government doesn't fully understand technology so just knee-jerk bans all of it, or is there an actual basis for the suspicion of such things leading to bad identification?
“Sliding window” reading
Yeah, this has been a 4chan thing since the mid 2000s. Guess this is a sign of its lack of relevancy these days.
I would think that a high n study finding no relationship between telomere length and diet would be very publishable.
>We only have stuff because people work.

In a society where everything is built or farmed by robots, only a small subset of the population needs to work. The rest can just do whatever they like. Even in today’s world, large amounts of people don’t really make “stuff” anymore.
A readily available way to make sugar from starch is saliva. Chew your potato for a while, spit it into the jar, repeat. That's the traditional way to produce maize beer in Amazonia and elsewhere :)

Solarized [1] is a contrast offender. There are things that I like about Solarized especially having a consistent palette across applications. But reducing contrast, especially for comments, leads to eyestrain. His 'content tones' are all reduced contrast with respect to background, between 45-65 L*. And his background black isn't 0 and I'm not sure why.

IIRC: as a citizen it was somehow harder to extradite him from UK than from Sweden.
Plug-in: john would you be publishing/talking about the path selection algo you designed at some point?

I'm very interested as that's exactly my focus and, at your scale, data is really going to look interesting.
He was only returned after the Swedish embassy learned about his condition. He had already been in a coma for a year by then and would have stayed in the DPRK for the remainder of his sentence otherwise.

If they claimed that a man in his twenties had died of a heart attack as they did with Japanese citizens they abducted, that would have been an even bigger scandal.
I think the key point in all of the evidence, which really convicted her, was the moment when he got out of the truck and she told him to get back in. Then did absolutely nothing and told no one. Up until that moment she was just a vile human being, but then she crossed a line into something showing complete disregard for life.
Before my reply, a request to designers: please arrange your elements so that they make sense when viewed without styles, for curmudgeons like me, and for people who use text browsers and visual assist tools. Important content first, and sidebars and ads last, would be great.

Reply: It works better than leaving the site as-is, in an unreadable or annoying state.

This happens most often, believe it or not, with news outlets (sorry, can't think of one). What you get is an incredibly long page, with the content usually somewhere in the middle, preceded and followed by multiple instances of links to the same other stories. It's not that hard to just grab the mouse and zoom the scroll bar down to what looks most obviously like what you're looking for: a bunch of unmolested text paragraphs.

With "private" sites like personal blogs and whatnot, the result of hitting the no styles button is the same, but usually the useless before and after matter is not as long.

I really don't have a problem doing that, and once I get to unmolested content I almost always enjoy it or find it useful. It's better than bailing, most of the time, and there doesn't seem to be any correlation between "this site sucks for me visually" and the quality of the actual content. So it's usually worth giving it a try.

EDIT: >A big part of design (aside from visual pleasantness) is information hierarchy, ...

This is virtually never important to me, because I virtually never get to anyone's page from their front page. I got to your page through someone else's aggregation. HN obviously. The NYT front page (hold on, hold on :) is just an aggregator of links to their stories, and the front page looks nothing like the story pages. Google news is an aggregator to pages within other outlets' aggregations.

I virtually always ignore virtually everything on a page that's not the content I came to read, and nothing on any of the site's other pages helped me get there, because I was never there. Someone else must have been there for the HN link to exist, and maybe (or maybe not) the ephemera helped them make a link for me. But it wasn't me.

Why do I not visit Art of Manliness, or some software blog, regularly? Because they rarely post anything I care about, certainly not often enough for me to gamble my time that maybe, this time, I'll find something worth reading. Investors use OPM, Other Peoples' Money, to make money. I use OPT, Other Peoples' Time, to find content worth reading on the web, and I'm as unapologetic as investors for that.

Mmmm, coffee ...
With all due respect you don't appear to know much about what you are commenting about. There is a huge community of research and applications around rnn and all other architectures. Pytorch has an extremely vivid and fast growing codebase, across all neural architectures and applications, it's remarkable actually. One reason might be because it is simple an effective, including easy debugging. Another is because research now is much focused on new possibly complex and exotic architectures, new optimizers, inner guts and behavior understanding​, including theoretically. And it appears pytorch makes that easy. Don't throw it away too fast as a DL enthusiast :)
But it wouldn't necessarily be a 'classic'.

The point of the exercise is to find papers that are widely considered valuable, especially to other researchers. To do this, they're using citation counts.

There's obviously a number of problems with citations, including self-cites, negative citations ("Alice & Bob '06 shook the community when they found things, but our better, larger study finds no evidence of any effect"), and such. But it makes sense for a company built upon citation rank indexing to rely on such methods =)
You misread it.
Effectively it looks like the guy was looking for a suicide-buddy. Initially she told him to get help, but he kept pestering her about wanting to commit suicide. So she helped him through it in a non-material way. That's one interpretation, and there's nothing criminal about that. Just a poor decision from the judge here.

Reminiscent of a case from years ago where roommates secretly filmed a roommate having a gay encounter, and the roommate killed himself on finding out. I don't get how a person committing suicide in a non-intoxicated state is anybody's fault but their own.

I guess you could argue if you find a drunk person and tell them to do something reckless, but none of these cases seem to fit that.
In college orchestration class we were required to write a piece using one note (octaves like this piece) for whatever instruments we had in the class, which in this case were three string basses and a violin. It really does require a lot of thought process with such sparse harmony.
I read the headline and immediately thought "Instacart is f*" then I read your response and thought "hmm that's a good point actually". HN community for the win. Thank you.
Sorry, inherently hard to find again again on google, so no links, but I remember 2 different studies, one in Central- or Eastern Africa and another in the Amazon rain forest: People who where never exposed to harmonic music don't have an innate preference for harmonies over disharmonies. IIRC they preferred whatever was closest to what they knew, which was interpreted as a clue that music perception is heavily influenced by the expectations of the listeners.
It's not really possible to derive temperature from other more fundamental units. For example, you can't define entropy as an absolute number; it needs to be assigned a unit, and the standard way of doing this is to multiply it by the Boltzmann constant, which depends on a unit of temperature. The mean kinetic energy of gas particles (3/2 kT) also depends on the Boltzmann constant.
From what I understand, when McDonalds was cratering around when this article was written, they came up with all day breakfast. I've read several writings from franchisees complaining about the complexities of that and how it would cost them in kitchen renovations. Apparently the all day breakfast revitalized sales and McDonalds is on track for a rebound.
> what motivates researchers to perform and publish studies with low N?

You mean low observations/ data point?

It's really simple in the medical world.

Money.

Longitudinal data mean following people over years.

Imagine how much money we have to pay these people for 100 people and say for just 5 years.

Medical data/ experiment isn't cheap.

You can do it with rats but it doesn't represent human. And iirc FDA found only 50% of what happen to rats can be replicated to Human when they look at the drug result.

They have Assays now but I'm not sure how well it represent real subject.

The ways FDA does it at least for NTCR is we test for liver toxicology to make things cheaper using assays data. Instead of real human being.

These look like a digital Rorschach test. With the minor difference that a human "knows" the image is not really an object and is being asked to interpret in some way; where the machine has no "knowledge" nor "understanding" but has an imperative to match this input to something in its repertoire of knowledge.

As a human, if you asked me to match these synthetic images to a most-likely real-world match, then my responses will also look "confused."
Tesla plans to restrict the use of their car AI when it is for uber-like uses to their own to-be-announced network! That's probably the biggest news here, for me at least!
"Please note also that using a self-driving Tesla for car sharing and ride hailing for friends and family is fine, but doing so for revenue purposes will only be permissible on the Tesla Network, details of which will be released next year."
I'd give her 5 years at the least. Watching her throughout the trial and her actions after his death showed she had no remorse or emotion for what she did. I truly believe up until the judge read that verdict she thought she did absolutely nothing wrong. Maybe that was psychosis, or extreme immaturity...
Worlds most smart wallet
Every single passport photo I got in china was "touched up" with photoshop to remove the background but also things like hair. This includes the photo I took for my USA passport renewal.
It is indeed. I often wonder whether there is a website out there that lists every single risky food out there and gives you tips on how to prepare it without dying. As an example, I often wash my hands incredibly frequently when cooking food, but I see professional chefs who just wipe their hands on their apron. Where is the balance?
I think this is similar to yelling fire in a crowded theater. Someone is trampled to death as people rushed to get out. You didn't trample anyone, you didn't actually kill anyone, but your verbal actions set in motion a chain of events that caused the death of someone else. I think the same could also be said of someone on social media saying "this guy down the street is a rapist and a child molester, somebody should kill him." Well, if somebody takes you up on that and kills him, you should go to jail for manslaughter. This woman not only set the chain of events in motion, but she actively pushed them along.
One answer is that there are SI units for a lot of derived units. A Watt is Joule/second, for example. But that's not what you're really asking.

Kelvin is considered one of the 7 base SI units, as described here: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html

I think the mean kinetic energy of gas particles is impossible to measure directly. You can compute it by measuring the temperature though :)

> Yes, you can get food poisoning from eating reheated rice. However, it's not the reheating that causes the problem, but the way the rice has been stored before it is reheated.

> How does reheated rice cause food poisoning?

> Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. The spores can survive when rice is cooked.

> If rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores can grow into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea.

> The longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that the bacteria or toxins could make the rice unsafe to eat.

Reheating the rice will kill the bacteria, but will not remove the toxin. It also puts the rice at bacteria breeding temperature again.
Funny how that changes all of a sudden, with the whole history of printing being an effort to get as close as possible to perfectly black ink on perfectly white paper.
Didn't know either, found this[1]: "Uncooked rice frequently contains bacteria called Bacillus cereus. These bacteria can form protective spores that survive the cooking process. If cooled slowly, these spores can germinate, grow and produce an emetic (vomit inducing) toxin. Reheating rice before serving will not inactivate the emetic toxin or kill all the bacterial cells, so the rice may not be safe."

The more you know. The suggestion is to cool it down as fast as possible and put it in the fridge. NHS says the "symptoms are relatively mild and usually last about 24 hours", so it seems unlikely that it's gonna kill you (IANA doctor).

This is a genius paper. We should think about evolving the language of mathematics just like other languages (programming, english etc) evolve to become more friendly and empowering. I love the idea behind it, and of course the proposal has many points to be debated as to how and what but the core idea is genius.

Here's the court opinion on Justia: http://cases.justia.com/massachusetts/supreme-court/2016-sjc...
It's not necessarily the conciseness that's a problem. Using foreach instead of a full for loop is one thing. What I'm complaining about is code in place of an explanation. E.g. imagine coming across some nasty piece of code like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root#Overv...

It doesn't matter how familiar you are with the language. Without an explanation of what the hell is going on, just looking at the code is useless.

Why differentiate between intoxication and mental illness? Surely someone with severe enough mental illness that they're on the brink of suicide is much more suggestible than someone who is drunk.
