kovvy··on Academics Make Theoretical Breakthrough in Random Number Generation
How well does this handle a biased source of random numbers in one or more of the inputs? If someone has set up your random number source to be more easily exploitable (or just done a really bad job setting it up), does combining it with another poor source with this approach mean the results are still useful?

Pace yourself. Be a little less eager to drop your price when you bargain. Try $24.5M first, then $24M. It's still a discount compared to the competitors.

You're already asking for a price so low you might end up barely scraping $100,000 an hour.

This seems error prone. Any mutation will damage integrity. Translating to amino acid sequences would be more reliable, since they use redundancy to protect against the more likely mutations. You could order the amino's by that redundancy - the ordering then also makes it easy to set a desired level of integrity protection by choosing how many amino's to use.
