Another good reference for sous vide safety is Doug Baldwin: https://www.douglasbaldwin.com/sous-vide.html#Safety He has a fairly exhaustive explanation of the different food-born microorganisms and how to kill them.

(Keep in mind that I am just an engineer and don't deal directly with policies.) My understanding is that it is generally considered that renter's insurance is too high at most large carriers. There are historical reasons for thi

I don't work directly for insurance companies so I am not a good judge of what jobs will be around. I would expect that any job that deals manually with claims--line entry, price evaluation, even fraud detection--will decline, maybe a

My first introduction to the Maillard reaction was in "Cooking For Geeks", which turned me on to cooking. It was no longer (just) a chore but a science/chemistry experiment that ended up being tasty! I'm including the

I'm tangentially involved in the insurance space and I believe Lemonade is trying to use machine learning to process claims because: - Processing claims with humans is expensive; every step that can be accomplished by a computer will p

I consider scripts to be functional documentation, so I write a lot of them, usually shell scripts but Ruby and Python, too. Any task that I might want to perform again, or tasks for someone else, gets a script if possible. All of my repo

I'm on Android and double-tap works for me to zoom-to-paragraph. Double-tap again and it zooms me back out.

Sorry for the late reply, but if you look at the original article on GitHub I explore that scenario in the code. The answer is that if Monty randomly opens a door then the contestant automatically loses 1/3 of the time before given a

Susan Fowler is a hero; it must have taken a tremendous amount of courage to hit the 'send' button while knowing her life was going to change. My niece is about to graduate into the SDE work force and I have little doubt that the

I find this fairly astounding. The typical stay-at-home parent is the mother and while it's getting closer to parity I don't think it's anywhere near even. For that reason alone I would expect more men in the work force. W

I volunteered at a shelter in a Boston suburb and the problems were fairly small compared to big cities. This was a while ago so heroin wasn't much of a problem; by far the drug of choice was alcohol with crack a distant second. You

Unfortunately the answer is not obviously yes. A long time ago I volunteered in a shelter. High (and drink) guests can be more violent and argumentive; fights will break out over people stealing drugs. They pass out and make messes with

So what caused that very short spike in "Jaime" as a girls name? Looks like it might have occurred right around 1960.

I do not want to work for a company that does NOT test my technical skills; if they don't verify my skills that means they don't verify others and I'd prefer to work skilled engineers (with exceptions for entry-level or junio

I generally dislike this solution but could this be countered with a lawsuit? Meaning, could Morey sue the NBA? I know the 1st Amendment doesn't really apply to corporations so it probably doesn't come into play.

The sum total of exclusion zones due to nuclear power is tiny when compared to the exclusion zone that will be created by rising sea levels due to global warming.

I drink a lot of tea and my dealer of choice is uptontea.com (by coincidence I ordered $80 of tea today). Pretty much everything they have is high quality. I prefer Darjeeling black teas; try one of the cheaper blends to see if you like i

My problem with most of these questions is that they can be answered with bullshit and it can be very difficult to detect; you're optimizing for good bullshitters. These might be fine in conjunction with technical questions but I prob

Sorting by "connections/100 people" is interesting. The top appears to be correlated somewhat to oppressive governments but only loosely (Costa Rica?).

You probably need to include most of the missing as part of the death toll. I think KIA are confirmed deaths and a lot of soldiers drowned and had their bodies carried off by the currents, never to be found.

My understanding of vulnerability is two-fold: 1) Always be willing to admit you don't know something. Ask others for their feedback. Listen to constructive criticism. 2) Whenever there's a problem start with the assumption that
