Diana Wray Sorry, this post was about the biofluorescent turtle. I mistakenly said it was bioluminescent - not the same thing. Still, here's the article. http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/29/world/biofluorescent-sea-turtle-discovered/ Cool stuff.

Ivan Pejić Fun trivia: USB data is transmitted as a differential signal over a twisted pair of wires (interference immune design pattern) so more or less poor design of connected devices makes them susceptible to RFI/EMI and you end up paying for a ferrite choked USB. :D

Bennett Hennessey I have a question for you. We use alcohol to disinfect things, and one popular usage is to kill a virus when someone has a cold- like after shaking their hand. So if alcohol is so effective at killing a virus, then when you have a cold, would it not be beneficial do drink alcohol. If your body has a high level of alcohol would that not hurt the virus- like the way chemotherapy works. My English Aunts always gave a child some whiskey if they were sick.

Mark Brown Well done! This is a fascinating subject. I take it the sequel to this video will likely introduce the RSA algorithm. For a class, I wrote a basic function for the RSA algorithm in the programming language Haskell: encrypt :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer -> (Integer, Integer) encrypt p q m = (encrypted, decrypted) where n = p * q k = (p - 1) * (q - 1) e = getPublicKey k d = getPrivateKey e k encrypted = (m^e) `mod` n decrypted = (encrypted ^ d) `mod` n getPublicKey :: Integer -> Integer getPublicKey k = head [x | x <- [2..(k - 1)], k `mod` x /= 0] getPrivateKey :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer getPrivateKey e k = head [x | x <- [2..(k - 1)], (x * e) `mod` k == 1] It's fascinating, complicated stuff :)
