Been making yogurt at home for years. I just heat milk to the point when it's just about to boil over. Never measured the actual temperature, but I'm pretty sure it's less than 100C. I just cool it until it's warm to touch (about 40-45C) before adding the culture (a spoonful of last day's yogurt), then leave it overnight in the oven with the pilot light on.
Does it do the S3 storage and http range requests to seek to the needed byte offsets thing?
I think one day I'm gonna have a thing where I need a few GB or tens of GB of database to be available in a web or mobile app, but where that db rarely changes, and I want to do this without having to support/secure a backend platform or database.
This is a false stereotype that has no place in HN. Yes, there are people who do that, but I bet a similar number of people per capita do that in Bangladesh too, we're not that different. It's like saying how can America be so developed if people still believe the earth is flat.
Heh, I grew up in a small town in Southern India. One of the summertime activities for kids was to go shake these trees (they are everywhere), extract kernels and make a few bucks at the local markets.
They were quite bitter. And the bitterness transferred to anything you touch after handling them unless you wash your hands thoroughly. IIRC, the oil was used in the soap industry.
Having said that, isn't any kind of monoculture bad? Traditional farming always had crop rotation and/or mixed cultivation. Any "magical" and "hardy" crop is gonna ruin the soil if planted over and over for years.
Perhaps the title should have been "Brain uses Quantum effects in a useful/controllable way". Sabine explains it well in the video. To use quantum effects for computation, you'd need very controlled conditions and it was thought be to not possible in the brain.
I'm Indian (in the US) and I've noticed a vast majority of my Indian friends name their kids Aanav, Aanir or Aanvi etc. some of which aren't even words in any Indian language. Now I probably know why.
Politics and war discussions have been increasingly common at work too. Companies have promoting ERGs in the hope of diversity and in the name of "bringing your authentic self to work", and these groups have become a hotbed of activism. I've witnessed flamewars in work channels on the topics of BLM, war in Gaza etc in the past two companies I've worked.

…and it’s absolutely vile. Leave me alone at work. Work is not your place to advocate for whatever agenda you happen to have. Whether I agree or not isn’t relevant to the mission of the company, and it’s not the company’s job to support your cause.
[edit] ok this is news to me
So what are Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)?
Employee Resource Groups are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with the organizations they serve.
Although as with most race, gender, or interest groups, it would be unwise to try to start one for specific combinations. Strangely, the same combinations that are labeled “oppressors”.
I’m not saying I would want to, but I find that ERGs for every other combination starts to feel like a way for organized preferential treatment to happen for all those other combinations, and all their various interests to be promoted, to the exclusion of a handful of other combinations.
No conspiracy theory here, also no prejudice here, just how it seems to work, and how I sometimes perceive these interest groups.
Society is the ERG for the specific combinations that aren't systematically held back.
What preferential treatment are your peers getting that are advancing their interests beyond yours? What are their interests that don't align with your own?
