   I wouldn't put exogenous nonsense DNA into my body. That's just asking for a bad time.

   Not just tech... life has already provided us with optimized tools for reading, writing, translating, and correcting DNA. The chemical properties of DNA are well known, and it's an incredibly stable molecule. Doesnt really make sense t

   DNA polymerase "reads" in one direction, so you prime the polymerase with a short DNA sequence (a primer), that is complementary and located 5' (before) the section you want to read

   So you're going to just remove all capacity for electricity generation, plastics, chemical feedstocks, etc etc overnight?

   "Well regulated" in it's historical context doesn't mean anything close to what we think of as "regulation" today. The phrase means "functional" or "functioning". E.g. “If a liberal Educati

   Except you can own an RPG in the US... It's an NFA classified destructive device. You can also own cannons, tanks, or attack helicopters if you have the money.

   I pretty much can't stand to write python after learning and using Rust. The static type system in Rust is just so great, and easy to use once you get the hang of it. This especially shines through if you have to use code someone else

   1. VS Code with the Rust plugin along with rustfmt and the rls is great - when it works. I've had some issues now and then, but the tooling is pretty great. 2. Not qualified to answer this 3. There's a ton of rust libraries out th

    I have Outlaw Cook... It is in fact the only cookbook I own, but I have yet to make anything from it. Thorne's writing is fantastic. I think I'll make something from it this weekend

    I think this is a good guess. I'm not a neuroscientist (but I am a biochemist), but I could see a valid hypothesis involving receptor desensitization.

    Nothing under control of a government is immutable. This is because governments have a power withheld from civilians: that of legal lethal force.

    I don't want to sound like a Rust evangelist... but it might be worth looking into. You get nice C FFI + some really nice features.

    I would love this. I'm only 6'2, but I have femurs that are above average length (what can I say, I'm leggy)

    The Supreme Court DID rule on this very issue, back in 1977 [1], where the ACLU defended the American Nazi Party's right to march through a primarily Jewish neighborhood. The Court ruled that the Nazi uniform and swastika are not &quot

    I want to second Rust. I've been writing C for 5+ years and finally decided to give Rust a serious try... and I love it. I never ever thought I would say this, but I don't see myself going back to C (with minor exceptions)

    I have actually already created a C# Gemini API wrapper[0], if you are interested. Along with a GUI for it [1]. Both are open-source. I used my library to write an automated trading system that's running on Gemini (not open source, obv

    It really is a joy to program in. I fought it off for the longest time (I like regular ole C, python, dabbled in Java long ago), but finally dipped my toes in and tried C# a month ago... While the language as a whole is a bit verbose, LINQ

    None of us can see the future. I first got into bitcoin in early 2011. I have no rational evidence to support this, but my intuition tells me that bitcoin cash will not be the winner. Too much hassle to adopt, few exchanges currently suppor

    Yes, Coinbase would control the private keys for any bitcoin stored there. So the issue is most likely that Coinbase hold's the majority of it's digital currencies in cold storage - essentially stored on air-gapped computers. To r

    I run Linux at home on a laptop (arch), and had been dual booting my desktop for a while. Games, easy access to Office, and software compatibility issues for work software limit me primarily to windows. Plus I've been using Windows sin

    I've been using it every single day since it was announced. It's pretty nice. There are compatibility issues with some programs (mainly networking and a couple weird syscalls), but for 90+% of things, I've had no issues.

    One of the main benefits is that data (financial transactions, healthcare records, etc) stored on the blockchain is immutable, decentralized, trustless, and cryptographically signed

    If you can't figure it out, you're not really a seasoned technocrat, are you? Sure, it requires some tech expertise right now. But so do ALL emerging technologies. Bitcoin will probably not be the dominant cryptocurrency forever.

    You're off your rocker - a "hobby of the .01%". If you can't see the potential of a decentralized cryptographically secure store-of-value/currency then you are incredibly short sighted.
