I find that my sourdough starter’s smell is noticeably more yogurty (lactic acid) and less tangy (acetic) when I add a tiny amount of food grade calcium to the water. There’s a similar effect on the final bread as well, but there are other

I really enjoyed “The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine.” About early surgery and the discovery and adoption of anti-septics.

FaceID still works for this, for me. I do not have to enter my password for purchases.

Given the potential consequences of a mistake, it feels like there's still a pretty big difference between "nearly flawless" and flawless. Speed control I'm fine with and is obvs. a mature tech that has been around for d

That makes sense and I appreciate the reply. I'd probably choose not to grab a beer -- unless the social cost/effort in saying no was higher than saying yes. Quite likely I'd feel put upon with having to respond in a way that

I like the straightforward, logical approach -- it's helpful for me to think about the process in those terms. Thank you. However, thinking about the process this way makes it really apparent that I've got no desire in trying to m

I read the title and looked at the graphical abstract. :) You’re right in that the LCD did not seem to improve MetS (the focus of the paper), but it looked to me like there were benefits to combining fasting with low carb, i.e., weight went

That’s a good point. Though AI should be millions(?) of times faster and get to those leaps quicker…but can it? Would be very cool to see that experiement.

This article (and the concept of “business war games”) brought me back to one of the first computer games I ever played: Lemonade Stand on the Apple II.[1] Sounds like Lemonade Stand was a simplified version of some of these games from the

“Statistically likelier,” but still mathematically possible confirms the OP’s point. This seems to be really testing for pseudo-random numbers. Relevant Dilbert (and article): https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/~blackb/RNG.ht

Esoteric Latin joke? HN rules. I find hard c marketing is still more effective in US post/pandemic economy.

Tic-Tac-Toe? A strange game. A&A and Supremacy were our go-tos.

Totally agreed and well said. It can be easy to read too much into something (especially when people are learning how to understand literature in high school), but some level of decision-making, i.e., design, goes into every word. Nathaniel

I don't fully disagree, but I am constantly judging others (much to my dismay). And, then I also see articles like "Research indicates that only about half of perceived friendships are mutual" ( https://news.ycombin

Similar: I think of it as the "I'm not crazy and/or dangerous" indicator. It also allows you to assess how compatible you'll be conversationally. It's the handshake portion of the Human Data Exchange Protocol

So, I see something, but feel I must be missing the pièce de résistance here. There's a background covered with parallelograms and the words "Mother-Fucking Lasers" that flash every once in a while. Should I be seeing something else? (I'm

Fun game and great proof of concept, though the aerodynamics aren't very realistic and whenever I've flown a helicopter through a cavern it's never never seemed that quite that blocky. Neat easter egg at the end though.

CNN is always shown this way in airports and I fly so much that it now looks normal to me. I assume my brain has learned to compensate.

Hiroo Onoda may be dumb, but I believe you can't tell that based on this story. To suggest otherwise is myopic. Apply Occam's razor: news of Japan's surrender is a (probably not uncommon) Allied trick vs. the US created a magic secret weapo
