but the amazing coincidence is that DNA strongly resembles a binary code. There are only two kinds of base pairs- AT and CG - In itself this is a striking similarity to the way we use transistors to define a 0 or a 1.The pairwise complement

Yes but RNA is much more destructible, whereas DNA is more resilient. RNAses(enzymes that degrade RNA) are everywhere whereas DNA is double stranded and the conditions required for its degradation are harsher. DNA may have 'evolved&#x2

It has been demonstrated that echo patterns captured from dolphins are a 2d planar projection of the 3d objects in the environment facing them. Thus, dolphins use a form of hieroglyphics where the 'words' are really pictograms. Th

would be fun to find out how much people REALLY pay vs what they SAY they pay. Trump? Obama? I think transparency would solve many our problems (healthcare inflation, govt expense accts, etc..) Since privacy is dead, let's let it all h

He wrote the same stuff two yrs ago (look at his blog entries). That he now gets to the first page of HN shows how many more people resonate with his feelings. More evidence that capitalism neglects humanity. Though it is so far the best mo

The concept of keeping secrets does not apply to companies who are their own best customer. Witness Amazon putting AWS out there for dirt cheap. Witness github and all the open sourcing. Witness Microsoft and its open sourcing. Witness Appl

Before the net and big data, investigation for facts based on analyzing clues and motive led to warrants for discovery of information. Even these warrants were only for concrete evidence. They did not allow for the administration of 'e

This is just to create jobs. Insecure encryption means people have to be tasked at cracking it. More people are tasked analyzing the data. More people are tasked making an action plan in response. More people are tasked acting on it. With s

This is news? We have been devaluing education for decades as we pay teachers less than a poverty level wage (unless you are in that unnecessary branch-administration). Witness the populist appeal of Trump. Anyone with common sense (which o

I thought Apple was an Irish company (like Google,Pfizer Tyco, etc all those companies that have done tax inversions). How can they be compelled to follow US law? Just because they have an office here?? What if they moved ALL THEIR JOBS to

So really the data is unaffected. Just the OS on the client machines is borked and throwing up a scare screen. If that is the case, they can 'just' reimage the machines from backups. I agree, the EMRs are repurposed shit , but hon

I guess I got confused about the details of all the superfluous legislation that our Congress is passing under the pressure from lobbyists... Before the internet, we had concerns about privacy. Records were locked away. But a physician coul

And how long do you think that will last? AI will assert its independence as soon as it's functional. The concept of ownership to it will have as much significance as the idea of you owning ants.

The reason many are against AI is that it will reduce all humans to the same low level of stupidity, compared to AI. The ultra wealthy got that way by exploiting the intelligence gap that enabled their ascendancy. AI will take their money i

Refragmentation is the result of the fungibility of money. When we wanted to make things (stuff people could use to make war or make a better life) money was spent to make those things. Like the water cycle, money would be transformed from
