It looks like your scientist friend was mis-informed. ChAdOx1 doesn't do any editing so there's no chance for off-target editing. Adenoviruses might be used for gene therapy (and then off-target editing is of concern) but this is *not* what vaccine does.

Any thoughts about this ? Does it have any chance to bring (hardware) reconfigurable computing to the masses ? In principle, FPGAs can be made into general purpose coprocessors but, in practice, they remain mostly within their own niche, quite well isolated from the mainstream programming. One of the reasons seems to be apparent cultural differences between programming and hardware design worlds. Will acquisition of Altera by Intel somehow result in bringing these two closer ?

ok... maybe I'm missing something, but what's wrong with using httpd2 for proxying/load balancing ? It seems to provide both ?
