...a member of a key CIA advisory panel has said.

Surely it can be prevented by giving the CIA more power and money?!

"What we need is scientists who have backbone, who have an unwaivering unaltering desire to get to the truth at all costs. "

Well, they also need to eat. So you'll have to pay them for it, as directly as possible.

But the people saying it was like a flu, were vilified.

That's a relief! If they teach them to replicate themselves, many more people could be rescued.

There seems to be more investigative work:

I always saw the hormones that regulate our emotions as primitive forms of memory, older than neurons. So an organism can remain in a certain state for a while.

There is also the possibility that RNA is used for memory:

Does anyone know how they manage to produce complex microstructures like that, RNA inside a lipid capsule, on such a large scale?

Does these vaccines need an adjuvant to work, or is the change to the affected cells large enough to trigger an immune reaction?

That was a great article! The last paragraph, however:

"By the way, Knuth is interested in these algorithms mainly for the interesting mathematical problems (...) not because they’re in any way efficient algorithms! "

Made me wonder, these kind of algorithms, where there is a lot of comparing and swapping of adjacent records might be more efficient on a tape-based architecture. Or an architecture with a lot of prefetch caching.
