Heat absolutely does kill bacteria. Heating water for just a few minutes at 60C will kill e. coli, 70C will kill it instantly. Coffee is brewed at 90-100C. [1] https://academic.oup.com/jtm/article-pdf/3/1&#x2F

People who are pro-HFT see it as a way of increasing the 'liquidity' of the market. In their eyes it makes it easier to move volume of stock, and moves the bid price of the stock closer to the ask price of the stock.

Yes, but the PR hit would be felt by Tesla.

This to me is always great PR for Tesla (for those who look into the details). If they're willing to do a recall for something as not-safety-critical as this, it means when a real safety issue occurs they will recall. There have been

In my experience it's very easy to grow separated from people you don't see organically. That doesn't mean you don't want to be close with them, or they're not important to you, just that life without help won'

One of the great things about having all of this great tooling is it makes the easiest way to do something also the best way. They were able to quickly spin something up which, incidentally, could also massively scale should it need to.

Given the context provided in this post, it seems pretty blatant and obvious. Stealing a design is one thing, stealing the circuit board design from an unreleased product is espionage.

In my experience it is taken as a given that people will continue needing medical care of one sort or another, so doctors at the microlevel don't worry too much about patients getting _too well_. The exception to this would be some co

We understand the compiler pretty well. You can grab a Bio textbook and find incredibly detailed diagrams of how the genetic transcription process works. It is true that we don't understand every factor, but it's likely the most

Of all the things to modify though, why a transcription factor? Of course there are things in the genome which modifications of would have problematic results. The question is if we should modify those parts we do think would lead to a bet

> 120 divided by 5 = 24. Not bad! 24 mph is only a bit faster than the speed at which experienced parachutists land. This is of course being a little silly, but it does get the physics wrong. Your energy is proportional to the square of

While I'm sure some variant of that will occur at some point, many genetic disorders are relatively simple and well understood. Even if we are still learning, there are dozens of disorders we could eliminate if we had robust genetic e

I don't really know what you mean. Genes encode to proteins, if a disorder is genetic it generally means one or more genes are incorrect, encoding to the wrong proteins. If genetic expression was significantly random, how would we ide

It's very common for relationships between superiors-subordinates to be banned or to have very specific steps which must be taken. Of course, for a superior to be 'making out' with someone at an event is potentially a whole
