Comment bit rot (Score 2) 34

It seems like this will be subject to even more bit rot than standard tapes, since there will be actual bacteria trying to rot it. I have a 55-year old DNA tape that seems to have suffered some severe damage (due to an unrelated drinking problem). Can this straighten it out and get the processor running at full speed again?

Just like organic vegetables, there are not enough resources to feed everyone on the planet with organic chicken. Developing a cultured meat industry could provide access to high quality meat for many more people. I'm not saying that is what will happen in our ensh!ttification society, but it at least makes it possible.
