iirc, this board isn’t nearly as interesting as it seems. You can’t actually do any multiprocessing, because only one CPU can be activated at a time. So you can’t actually leverage the two CPUs to do anything that each CPU couldn’t do on it’s own.

This makes me wonder about people born with autism who have a significantly harder time socializing. Would it be interpreted as a disease or a bad omen? I don’t think there’s been a comparable example in real history, where there is a type of person who is genetically predisposed to violate a religious tenet. The closest example I can think of is the persecution of people with albinism in African nations, but albinos are believed to be magic or cursed, which I doubt transformatisya believes in.
It’s a common misconception that DNA is exactly the same across the body. Skin, for example is heavily mutated due to it’s constant exposure to the sun, which means the DNA you can scrape off your right hand will be slightly different to the DNA you scrape off your left hand. The way DNA matching works in the real world is not infallible. Instead of matching the base pairs of the DNA sequences, several common markers are picked out and tested against markers from other people. For this reason, it may not be necessary to hash the data at all. You just need to send & receive snippets of the DNA. Furthermore, some large percentage of DNA is just junk data, which is identifiable but tells you nothing about the person who is being DNA tested. In short, hashing is not needed for security purposes.
I think, fundamentally, there isn’t an issue with the distribution with the enzyme, but of the individuals abusing it. There are two ways you can address this: holistically, or non-holistically. The holistic way would be PSAs about these enzymes are a public service, and that it’s selfish to hoard them for Intium production. The other way would be to just limit how much a customer can buy from any one store.
Regardless, it seems like a pretty minor problem, unless the world is a utopia or something.
Just from a quick Google search, it looks like it's similar to tape memory, except the data moves along the tape, instead of the tape moving over the reading head. According to diagram by TI, it looks like the bubbles are on some iron wafer and forcibly moved around by two coils. Then, on a second substrate there are some type of read & write head.
So here's how I would go about this: first, I'd wrap some small metal plates in insulated magnet wire, place two permanent magnets on the top and bottom (sandwich style) and stick a read head on the edge of the plate. Then you push AC current through the two coils offset by 90 degrees. This should push the bubble in a circle, and that can be read by the tape head.
Keep in mind though, this is a complete guess based on a simplified diagram from the 70s. I don't actually know if this is how they work.
I’m a big fan of cataclysm:dda. It’s a rougelike, so it needs some time to get good at, but there is a ton of content and I can run on a potato. It’s got violence against zombies, but with even the most advanced graphics it can use, it isn’t particularly graphic.
