Re: [FRIAM] NASA-Funded Research Discovers Life Built With Toxic Chemical

Russ, you had a small typo in your Shrödinger quote. Instead of extracting "energy", Schrödinger actually defined living systems as extracting "negative entropy" from the environment: "the only way a living system stays alive, away from maximum entropy or death is to be continually drawing from it

Thanks, Dale. I have been enjoying these! Owen and I have a backburner project where we'd like to employ the Actor model in a distributed Javascript system using nodeJS on servers communicating via websockets to the browswers. Have you seen anything like this done already? As a proof-of-c
