safe not only fossil fuels when biking but clean the air at the same time :-) (well... in theory)

The guy is studying Aeronautics in Delft and has been working on his flying bike since he was 16. He manage to fly 1.5 m high and 10 m long! A bit higher and the bike helm is not going to be of so much help!

Somehow, the mere fact does not surprise me. I always assumed that the genetic information is on multiple overlapping layers encoded. I do not see how this can be transferred exactly on genetic algorithms, but a good encoding on them is important and I guess that you could produce interesting effects by "overencoding" of parameters, apart from being more space-efficient.

I was actually thinking exactly about this question during my bike ride this morning. I am surprised that some codons would need to have a double meaning though because there is already a surplus of codons to translate into just 20-22 proteins (depending on organism). So there should be about 44 codons left to prevent translation errors and in addition regulate gene expression. If - as the article suggests - a single codon can take a dual role, does it so in different situations (needing some other regulator do discern those)? Or does it just perform two functions that always need to happen simultaneously? I tried to learn more from the underlying paper: https://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6164/1367.full.pdf All I got from that was a headache. :-\

Probably both. Likely a consequence of energy preservation during translation. If you can do the same thing with less genes you save up on the effort required to reproduce. Also I suspect it has something to do with modularity. It makes sense that the gene regulating for "foot" cells also trigger the genes that generate "toe" cells for example. No point in having an extra if statement.

the largest cable into the Netherlands comes in apparently at Katwijk - we should have super fast internet!!! :-)

You mean: "then why don't we have super fast internet?" :-) If you zoom the map in, it's actually way past Noordwijk. My quess is this could be attached somewhere near the naval radio station area? This remembered me the good old times of bike trips in the dunes, eh...

Indeed, corporations just may have reached another inflection point. “In the past,” says Andrew Ng, chief scientist at Baidu Research, “a lot of S&P 500 CEOs wished they had started thinking sooner than they did about their Internet strategy. I think five years from now there will be a number of S&P 500 CEOs that will wish they’d started thinking earlier about their AI strategy.” Even the Internet metaphor doesn’t do justice to what AI with deep learning will mean, in Ng’s view. “AI is the new electricity,” he says. “Just as 100 years ago electricity transformed industry after industry, AI will now do the same.”
