I wonder if this is the case: the link shows a 320-page patent translated in 3 languages with a tremendous work behind it. It's definitely not patent-trolling.
What makes it more interesting to today's situation is that it was made by people from Institut Pasteur in France which is a reference in the field.
I understand that the name only as a title offers no context to those who don't know Maryam Mirzakhani. But HN rules seem to favor not editing the original titles of articles and make them click-baity.
"Atari Inc. had lent $500,000 to Amiga Corporation in 1984... Amiga was purchased in August 1984 by Commodore for $27 million -including paying off the Atari loan." [0]
So in an alternate possible reality, Amiga could have been released as an Atari brand.
> Imagine an alternative 1987. IBM never bothered to enter the microcomputer market. Apple has yet to launch the Macintosh. A new generation of 16-bit computers aimed at people who grew up with 8-bit machines is on sale. The IIGS from Apple, the Amiga from Atari, the C65 from Commodore. But the MSX Turbo-R is still in development. There’s a small window of opportunity for another manufacturer to launch a 16-bit, Z80 instruction set compatible machine that can run Microsoft BASIC programs. The Chloe Corporation aims to take 8080 and Z80 users into the 16-bit era with the new Chloe 280SE.
I'd pay a fortune for living in such a parallel universe...
