I read that tasting butters, e.g. eaten with bread, or finishing in dishes like risotto, need to be better quality but for pastry and cooking, cheap butter can be okay since the delicate subtle flavors gets cooked off and muted. I wonder ho

So what? Krugman is also a Nobelist, if you're merely content with regurgitating decades-old ad hominem promulgated by conservative economists who are in denial about their own partisanship. It is factually true that Krugman early on a

Data is useless without theory, and theoreticians like Paul Krugman have long argued that lockdowns are better for the economy. A recent science paper also showed that countries that utilized lockdowns showed stronger economic recovery. Cit

I remember the database records feature that let you lay out the design of records in an intuitive way, even though I was too young to use it for anything! I haven't been able to find anything like it since. The other feature I used a

It sounds like you are just advocating the corporate tech transfer model of advanced research in a nascent field, but maybe Apple is philosophically opposed to doing that. Indeed, it's not that they don't have funds for scientific

Sure but optimizations are not fundamental. It is not even clear to me if phonics instruction (invented by some teachers?) was based on linguistics (a scientific theory).

I think you are confusing phonics and phonetic? They are very different concepts.

I think your argument here amounts to a form of internalized oppression and a bunch of unintentional sophistry that tries to legitimize it. Considering the history of computer science as a consequence of the Enlightenment, it is quite ironi

Note that the outcomes you describe are only bad at preserving the status quo at that workplace.

That's the thing though; Chinese is a good counterexample that phonics instruction is not universal or fundamental to linguistics, but rather culturally specific. Phonetic written languages have the feature of mapping sounds to words a

Ah okay it's like the difference between a forensic argument vs a scientific argument.

I feel step 4. is just a more specific detail of step 2, and the critical tricky piece of their argument is step 3 because that's the step that synthesizes steps 1 and 2. I imagine that the rebuttals would try to show that step 1 or 3

The reverse, a cancelling field for outgoing noise, would be great for practicing music instruments, or guest parties, times when you don't want to disturb neighbors (or roommates). Do the scientists discuss this?

It's not supposed to be in anything. I do know yhere's a famous variation on it called double skin milk. But the point of Cantonese cooking is a kind of minimalism (think: steamed fish). Use the best ginger you can get, and really

I hope you realize "from a culinary perspective" this is a classic Cantonese dessert. Cantonese cooking is a renowned cuisine, and calling the ginger milk curd a chemistry demo is culinary ignorance, and marginalizes the heritage

Ultimatums are bad faith and basically anti-liberal so I don't care for that sort of rhetoric, and I think more people should try that as a baseline. When the ultimatums themselves do not account for the well-being of the elderly and v

It's interesting contrast to read Krugman's piece in the nytimes just yesterday. He ignores the "economy", he says that layoffs are necessary, which is to basically suggest that the economy will adapt. And everywhere you

> Shutting down the economy has externalities; those externatlities can be life or death as well. If the strategy of those implementing the "shelter in place" is one of just waiting it out: then I'm going to be off the wag

It's a creative idea to use hotel space to isolate elderly and other vulnerable groups, but have you gone over how it might fail? Do you have citations or know of experts who recommend this different solution?

I don't know if PDF has truly evolved from its desktop publishing origins, but it is a terrible format because it no longer contains the higher level source information that you would have in an InDesign or a LaTeX file. PDF/Posts

I often think to the fable of Armus in ST:TNG, an advanced civilization achieved transcendence, but they left behind the black tar creature that gained sentience and represented all of their evils.

How complete are theses tests? If I wait another 10, 15 years to get sequenced, would I get more accurate, reliable information? Can advances in sequencing technology make it worth people to get resampled? Or is it just an issue of better a

Yeah I was confused by that and maybe the article could have clarified this in relation to the Church-Turing thesis.

I've read about the acorn foie guy, and wasn't sure how legit the story was. If foie gras can be made by having free range geese and plentiful food for them, that would make foie production even more of a luxury item, but at least

If I were an investor I would ask Hudson Valley and the other specialty farms to look into GMO and lab-grown foie. Maybe liver is easier to do than muscle tissue. Foie tastes like magical butter and it would be wonderful if there was a more
