In their defence, they raised several valid points about the Sears tower and that musical number about My Little Pony and eugenics made my heart swell
- Comment on data transfer 2 weeks ago:
3 billion nucleotides, but each nucleotide can be one of 4 bases, meaning that it’s 6 billion bits of info, or (6e9 / 8) = 750 MB of data.
But if all of the sequence was used for data, then the sperm wouldn’t be a sperm. If we keep the 20,000 coding genes making up ~ 2% of the genome, that still leaves us with (750 * 0.98) 735 MB.
But an organism is more than its gene templates, it also has functional regions where things bind and block things and join other things, and we’re not entirely sure what percentage of the non-coding regions this is. I’m gonna go with 80%, and that leaves us with (750 * 0.18) = 135MB
Since the sperm cell is haploid data, it has 23 chromosomes instead of the 46 (23 pairs), so it has half the data redundancy of normal DNA. We might also need to add our own error correcting codes which will reduce some of the space. I’m gonna pull a factor of 3.6 out of my ass, and thus (135 / 3.6) - voila - 37.5 MB

Let’s have some weird destablizing tech that rich people cannot control or bank on to level the playing field a little. (No, not AI - something like pre-2010 internet). That or aliens, who have the sole goal of trading with us only once our Gini coefficient drops to less than 0.05

- Comment on We really, really do. 3 weeks ago:
I agree, with the caveat that it is one of the go-to moves in “How to win friends and influence people” and if it’s too obvious, people will just think that you’re either disingenuous or that you’re actively trying to manipulate them
- Comment on We really, really do. 3 weeks ago:
That’s really interesting, so you’re saying that rewording someone else’s opinion and repeating it almost verbatim back to them enhances the discussion?
