Either can happen. The root cause is growth of Burkholderia gladioli [0] on certain foods rich in specific fatty acids, which include coconut and corn. This can happen during the fermentation process of fermented coconut and corn products i

I doubt that. Oxide was founded by a bunch of ex-Sun people who have already been burned by the Oracle acquisition. If you read through what they say, their company values, and how they act, it's pretty clear their intent is to grow a

Yes, it matters. I found your comment hard to read and had to re-read it a couple of times to parse it. If you want to use the hyphen because it's more easily typed I suggest using the double hyphen "--", which perhaps doesn&

Could you actually explain what you disagree with? In my opinion, everything in the comment you're replying to is obviously correct. If you're going somewhere where there is a chance you might get lost, injured or trapped by weath

You've got that completely backwards. Correctly applying Bayes' theorem, if an anomaly is observed you incorporate the prior into the calculation of the posterior probability. You don't just give up and say "the prior i

You can look at the Wikipedia page on railway defect dectectors [0]. Under "rail break monitors" it mentions both electrical continuity and time-domain reflectometry can be used, and are most frequently used on high-speed tracks.

That's not what "hot" means in this context. "Hot" means "highly radioactive", i.e. high number of decay events per second, high concentration of short half-life isotopes, high power/volume resulting

Your question is rather ambiguous. Do you mean using chemistry to develop new techniques or combine unusual ingredients to create food that has novel flavors or textures? That would fall under Molecular Gastronomy, which has been highly inf

Have you seen the presentation from GDC 2017 on the architecture of Overwatch [0]? If you watch the video in detail -- stepping through frame-by-frame at some points -- it provides a nearly complete schematic of the game's architecture

I'm not aware of anything quite like that, but most submarines have something like a Rescue Buoy [0], Submarine Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (SEPIRB) or Submarine Emergency Communications Transmitter (SECT). I think those

Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure what the point of the 50 minute video is. Here's [0] the pdf of the report. It's really not that long. [0]: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L7RXrneHlzfjrewMFIee

It's a bit of a long read, but I think the best introduction is still this [0] and the comments were here [1]. Yes, it's presented in the context of rust and gamedev, but ECS isn't actually specific to a particular programmin

I actually think that it does a disservice to not go to Nazi allegory, because if I don't use Nazi allegory when referring to Oracle there is some critical understanding that I have left on the table; there is an element of the story t

CNC Kitchen put out a great video on the practical use of silica gel. I especially found his exploration of different methods of drying to be of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tHInlFfMcM

There's an excellent publicly released video made about an older test. It has some of the clearest footage of the actual reentries and impacts, and is also worth watching for the sheer 90s vibe of the production. https://www

This is a bit late, but I don't see any other answers that provide what I think is the key insight. The accounting equation is: Assets = Equity + Liabilities. For a transaction to be valid it needs to keep that equation in balance. Let

That's not what "indiscriminate" means. Indiscriminate attacks are those [0]: (a) which are not directed at a specific military objective; (b) which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific mi

You use radiation for cooling in space. That obeys the Stefan-Boltzmann law with power scaling with T^4 (so you want the radiators as hot as possible). You can use passive elements, like heat-pipes to move heat to the radiators, but active

I tried this, and while I didn't have any difficulty establishing a stereoscopic view it didn't jump out for me at all. I perceived the blue line floating on top of the problem handhold, but the handhold seemed to be on the same p

Very dubious. Unfortunately there isn't a paper, this is being presented at a conference, so it's difficult to critique it. There was a similar study though published back in 2022: "Meal Skipping and Shorter Meal Intervals Ar

This is a good question and you shouldn't have been downvoted for it. I had a similar concern. I think the answer is this [0]: > Many fungi are hyperaccumulators, therefore they are able to concentrate toxins in their fruiting bodie
