The 64 three letter codons specify 20 amino acids and punctuation. For some amino acids the third element of the codon doesn't matter or has couple redundancies. This suggest an earlier two element codon with 15 amino acids or less.

A money-based economy is a fairly recent addition to human society. People mostly made their own stuff and traded without for most human history. Perhaps in a society of perfect abundance money will fade. That doesn't mean that human power structures will fade also. They were around since the beginning of settled society. Future ones may not based on money as they have been in recent centuries.

Not all journals do this. But I can usually understand about 80% of the news summaries, even ones outside my field, but only about 20% of the technical articles. Once in a while the news article might interview an author for additional perspective.
I think some of the newsfeeds with science sections (e.g. NY Times) then pick up some of the these new summaries.

China predicted a couple of significant quakes supposedly based on animal observations in the ealry 1970s. Then they missed the largest Chinese quake in decades in Tianjin, near Beijing, in 1976. Strange animal behavior has part of Chinese peasant folklore for millennia. Various US groups tried to replicate this methodology since the 1970s without much success. A geologist in San Jose counted lost pet ads and claimed some success. But his prediction windows were so wide they were not statistically significant. Perhaps 21st century social media could help gather observations.

In the movie someone dies during a recording session. Then it becomes a tug of war for the recording between police who are investigating a suspicious death and scientists who want to see if there is life after death.
Plus there is an ironic twist that the lead actress dies of a drowning "accident" during the filming. But some people dont believe it was accident and the debate resurfaces periodically. The lead actress is Natalie Wood, who played the little girl in Miracle on 34th Street and Maria in West Side Story.

Some computer experts like Marvin Minsky, Larry Page, Ray Kuzweil think A.I. will be a great gift to Mankind. Others like Bill Joy and Elon Musk are fearful of potential danger. Where do you stand, Linus?

(Assuming the average student takes 8 courses a year.) So this is to get the CMU name on your diploma and certification you passed the exam?

Anything you'd wish on a clone, think of a twin.
