Ummm... Pasteurization used to kill deadly bacteria in our food is done heating the substance to sanitize at 73-75 degree Celsius for around 15 seconds. For brewing a good coffee or tea you need a much higher temperature and I guess they do

I used it in the past with the Freebase dump and was amazingly stable (also two years ago). I was using LevelDB on a pretty beefy machine. The big issue was the time for loading the data. At the time the MongoDB backend wasn't good eno

Tried to use it in production a couple of years ago hosting a mirror copy of Freebase with mixed results: - There were a couple of issue loading the data that we fixed and contributed back the patch - Loading the data was really slow, and i

That's a recipe for disaster! It works well for delivering your MVP and maybe the first version of your product. But then you want your employee to be empowered, to feel relevant and be able to take matters into their hands. Otherwise

Don't know the details of the projects but from the pictures posted (here and elsewhere) it seems that only topsoil was eroded. Yes, bedrock is not indestructible, it could get eroded from water, but it takes times. Plus it get eroded

Well, from a user perspective it breaks links meaning that they work in an unexpected way. For sure it is a much-needed improvement, but it is not a fix it all feature.

Help me understand: Strict means I break the basic way in which the web works, links? It seems to me a useful feature (Ironic!) I could get that in certain case it is a good idea to be strict (e.g: banking, e-commerce), but it is a relative

I don't see why the Koran (quran, cough cough) should tell you something about terrorism. It is the Muslim's holy book, not the terrorist's holy book. For my discussion, I simply used the Merriam-Webster dictionary[0]. It say

I thought about that. But if finding a terrorist is like trying to find a needle in the haystack, Schneier suggestion (as well as any other expert in security will tell you), the best solution is truly random search. If it is truly random,

No actually when the department of Homeland security conducted an undercover test, TSA detected the whopping number of 3 undercover agents... They failed to detect the other 67 who were able to embark planes with weapons end explosives[0].

The problem with this article is that it fails to recognize the real threat model. The objective of a terrorist is not to blow up a plane, it is to scary people and do this by killing and injuring the highest number of people while minimizi

I think you don't understand how money works. Probably in the short term, you are right even though empirical evidence suggests that in hyperinflation scenarios luxury good price increases less than other normal and necessity goods. In

We could give everyone a million making everyone a millionaire. But the value of that million will be pretty low or, put in another way, this will generate a lot of inflation basically returning at the starting point. The thing is that the

Whoa whoa whoa. You are getting it wrong. The size reported by your Amherst document is the maximum width, not the body width. I have an idea of the importance of this distinction, and I could go at great length explaining it. But the linke

The concord didn't have an auxiliary power unit to provide energy with the engine off. So it needs to rely on energy from the gate or a special external unit. This unit was also necessary to provide the energy to start the engine. Obvi

I have two problems with your reasoning: - Who decides that hacking the Mafia is Ok and someone else it is not? And if Mafia is ok, what about lesser criminals? What about someone you suspect is criminal but you are not sure? - It is in the

It seems a really smart move to me. At the stage they are investing, the quality of the people and their reputation is more important than the idea itself as a success predictor. Ex-Googlers have on average a good reputation and they know h

How does O1 and EB1 visa relate? Being on an O1 Visa make the EB1 visa process any easier? E.g: the qualification for the outstanding need to be reassessed (basically redo everything) or they just accept their previous decision? Thanks

As a PM I almost totally agree with you. There's a caveat, though. I know what I want, and in general, I want everything well done and polished. But the right question is not "What do I want?" but "What need to be done?&
