    At that time software's AT&T style winner-take-all and network effect lock-in was still not that obvious. The PC was not yet the golden standard for desktop hardware and words like…

    Organic chemistry and neuroscience are complex. FWIW soursop has also been linked to causing Parkinson's like syndromes due to neuro toxicity.

    This is a bog standard modern NLP problem, I love how all the comments here are on how impossible it is using traditional heuristics and quoting various pop neuroscience authors an…

    Does JAMA network handle the journal translations or are they done by the authors?

    I think WebAssembly+low-level DOM API would be a good compromise for the lack of JavaScript.

    Was the firmware at that time complex enough that you can attempt an OTA brick? Are radios from 1984 mostly analogue?

    The problem is that the aforementioned advances tend to often be 1) Patent encumbered, 2) Difficult to scale and put into production i.e. works only under very specific conditions …

    A major issue with biology is the compensation. Biology compensation is notoriously bad outside of accredited medicine.
