Been making yogurt at home for years. I just heat milk to the point when it's just about to boil over. Never measured the actual temperature, but I'm pretty sure it's less than 100C. I just cool it until it's warm to touch (about 40-45C) before adding the culture (a spoonful of last day's yogurt), then leave it overnight in the oven with the pilot light on.
This is a false stereotype that has no place in HN. Yes, there are people who do that, but I bet a similar number of people per capita do that in Bangladesh too, we're not that different. It's like saying how can America be so developed if people still believe the earth is flat.
Heh, I grew up in a small town in Southern India. One of the summertime activities for kids was to go shake these trees (they are everywhere), extract kernels and make a few bucks at the local markets.
They were quite bitter. And the bitterness transferred to anything you touch after handling them unless you wash your hands thoroughly. IIRC, the oil was used in the soap industry.
Having said that, isn't any kind of monoculture bad? Traditional farming always had crop rotation and/or mixed cultivation. Any "magical" and "hardy" crop is gonna ruin the soil if planted over and over for years.
Perhaps the title should have been "Brain uses Quantum effects in a useful/controllable way". Sabine explains it well in the video. To use quantum effects for computation, you'd need very controlled conditions and it was thought be to not possible in the brain.
I'm Indian (in the US) and I've noticed a vast majority of my Indian friends name their kids Aanav, Aanir or Aanvi etc. some of which aren't even words in any Indian language. Now I probably know why.
Politics and war discussions have been increasingly common at work too. Companies have promoting ERGs in the hope of diversity and in the name of "bringing your authentic self to work", and these groups have become a hotbed of activism. I've witnessed flamewars in work channels on the topics of BLM, war in Gaza etc in the past two companies I've worked.
Not to mention the travesty that followed in terms of bringing the perpetrators to justice. Most of them walked, owing to witnesses getting murdered in Canada under RCMP's watch.
This guy killed the President of Bangladesh and most of his family (women and children included) and is now a guest of Canada and is refused extradition based on a technicality.
I don't condone extra-judiciary killings but Canada absolutely has and continue to harbor criminals.
Bosch ones (at least the one I have) can even be set to 100F. I haven't actually tested how well it maintains such low temps, but I use it for proofing.
Undiagnosed cataract is a big thing in developing countries. Vision loss from cataract is gradual so many older people don't realize they're turning blind.
