Hi Dan, I've actually been meaning to reach out to you, your company is doing some really exciting things. I don't see your email in your profile, so I will send a quick email to your company info email. Otherwise feel free to sen

I work for a commercial synthetic DNA producer in R&D. At the moment writing DNA is the slow part. There has been an almost Moore's law like reduction in price/increase in speed for sequencing, but so far synthesis has lagged.

Not sure about the best way, there are definitely better ways to do it than my route. I used Duolingo for vocabulary and the Coffee Break French podcast along with reading and listening to as much material as I could find (french movies and

ha, I also began learning French because of Count. Maybe we should start a club. Also, the only book I have found close/equal to Count of Monte Cristo is Les Miserables. The book is amazing, no idea about the musical. There are so many

Maybe divert resources DNA synthesis? Sequencing is very cheap per base, especially compared to a few years ago

To be fair, dealing with radiation induced carcinogenesis is already on NASA's radar ( https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov/risks/risk.aspx?i=96 ). Any long-term space mission will require mitigating cancer risk, w

With nanopore experiments, it's not unusual to see unusual behavior that could possibly be explained by macromolecule interactions, contamination, or electrical interference. There are often more unknowns than knowns due to the scale o

There was a post about a hydraulic computer here the other day, this looks like further reading. Interestingly, there seems to be a slow increase in intrest for ionotronics where logic is implemented using nanopores in salt water, where cur

Would you mind talking about what field or area you work in? I came from a bioengineering background and ended up doing a lot of computational work (signals and communication systems, ML, FEA), so I feel like we are arriving at the same con

That's interesting, my PhD is in an engineering field and projects have included a lot of what you mentioned ('graph theory, markov chains, ... cluster analysis and signal processing'...). I just went through a job search and

So we should eliminate all the undesirables? Or manipulate the undesirables until they are desirable? Who chooses what traits are desirable, even if they are universally applied. I'm not arguing that this isn't amazing technology

The issue as I see it is that this is effectively an advanced form of eugenics. The idea behind eugenics (improving the lives of future people) is probably not bad, as you say, what is the downside in increasing the number of geniuses and r

I think you have a naive understanding of the theme in these paragraphs. Competitive situations do NOT have a strong correlation with innate ability. Outside factors will often have as much or more influence than innate ability (practice be

I don't understand this statement. I recently received a similar reaction after talking about some of my research, so I'm wondering if this is a common approach to new ideas in the startup world. How is the algorithm bogus (assumi

I don't understand this response. Whenever homeschooling comes up, someone always says that homeschoolers are unsocialized. I don't even know what that means. Do you think homeschoolers never have friends or enemies growing up? Wh

Ha, that would be cool. Unfortunately, to get molecular and sub-molecular resolution on single molecules you have be pretty close to the target (nanometers/Angstroms). You basically load a liquid containing the analyte into the device

Does this mean that startups are limited with regards to the level of innovation? I notice that a lot of startups don't really do anything new technology-wise, but have more of an emphasis on organization (for example, Uber reorganizes
