Going straight to working RNA is a huge assumption in the analysis, but it's thought provoking to set some sort of lower bound and see how big the cosmos would need to be. Still, somehow we may find a process like natural selection at

The more I read about string theory, including Brian Greene's books, the more it seems akin to arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of an n-dimensional pin. If anything good comes out of string theory research it will pro

It's become more clear to me that pushing content based on past content consumption promotes harmful effects to both individuals and to society. The data collection needed to provide such feedback is inherently prone to privacy violati

I don't have kids, but I do pay property taxes, which largely contribute to schools. I also pay federal taxes that contribute to child tax credits, etc. So, my contributions are not offset by costs of children I do not have. I do not c

Oh yeah. Been there and still have faded T's. But then there's the licensing and the sales guys. Talk about pure evil.

Yet another example of the negative consequences that come from selling snake oil in the "click-based" economy created by social media algorithms. The people feeding this Facebook group are likely making a tidy living off this. So

For the moment believing that this proposed amendment isn't just some tactic related to getting (or not getting) infrastructure legislation done... For many reasons this regulation would be unenforceable and/or impossible to compl

Super easy way to convince Apple they might want to re-think things. Buy something other than Apple products, starting with the iPhone.

I was recently watching Kal Penn's "The Giant Beast That is The Global Economy", and the episode that covers the "Rent Seeking" behavior of large, entrenched, companies, rings fairly close to the kind of play Bezos

Good questions! Well, if it's anything like dancing (and I think it might be), we'll always have a hard time telling when we're good. Going with that analogy, I'd say you know when it gets easier, when you begin to see f

The combination of unique trading features offered as part of Robinhood's business model combined with the social media and relatively inexperienced investors acting in concert is prone to unintended consequences for both the business

There is a regulatory framework, enforced by the SEC, that prevents firms from collaborating on trades in attempts to manipulate stock prices. When an army of retail investors openly collaborate on messaging platforms to manipulate a stock&

Social Media and 24-hour Cable News were designed for addictive effect. it's all based on fear. Fear of missing out mainly. The monkey brain wants constant reassurance. Then, to be assaulted with ads while consuming these "informa

Reminds me of my exposure to APL. So great. Why isn't it a mainstream language? Probably many of the same reasons Haskel is not yet a thriving mainstream language. 90% of problem domains yield well to procedural/hybrid languages.

Laundering money through banks is risky. The better option is to find private sources who are their own banks and not really scrutinized to a high degree. If Trump (idiot) can do this and get away with it, I can only imagine this is a commo

Very interesting. Amazing how much we owe, without realizing, to the early pioneers and designers of the first computers, who often prognosticated issues we deal with today. I recently have been researching Leslie Lamport's TLA+ projec

Sharing schemas and contracts in a distributed architecture is a hard problem. The interesting thing is these are central to communication, so we should definitely talk as a team about them - if anything, that's probably the one thing
