ODD ROOT CAUSES. "A bunch of people had disconnections at a certain location, I looked at area on google maps and street view. Found a morgue called them up, and asked what time they run the electric furnaces for burning bodies. Another fault was clustered around a military base on radio frequencies that were not military reserved." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

THE ODD AND THE WEIRD. "In troubleshooting, so many symptoms are discarded as they are illogical, but I've often had the really hard problems while at a large telco, and we get some very weird symptoms that lead to some odd root causes." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

DR THOMPSON'S OFFSPRING. "Five individual logic cells were functionally disconnected from the rest-- with no pathways that would allow them to influence the output-- yet when the researcher disabled any one of them the chip lost its ability to discriminate the tones. Furthermore, the final program did not work reliably when it was loaded onto other FPGAs of the same type." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

DERIVATIVE KNOWLEDGE. "A scientist let a computer program a chip, using natural selection. The outcome was an extremely efficient chip, the inner workings of which were extremely difficult to understand." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

MODERN CRYSTAL QUEST. "It has been emphasized in the literature that the protein crystal perfection increases in microgravity conditions." (NASA space station experiment). https://lnkd.in/daH7g7g View in LinkedIn

"TOWARD PERFECTION: Kapellasite, Cu3Zn(OH)6Cl2, a New Model S = 1/2 Kagome Antiferromagnet." https://lnkd.in/d9ywQkc View in LinkedIn

IDEALIZED FORMS. "Crystalline perfection of high purity synthetic diamond crystal. It was found that by using strain-free and low defect crystals for the seeds, the line defects (dislocation bundles) could be removed, thereby improving the crystalline quality of the synthetic type IIa diamonds." https://lnkd.in/dvbdJFi View in LinkedIn

CRYSTAL MANTRA. "Growth and perfection of crystals." (1958). https://lnkd.in/dWj5wfY View in LinkedIn

AN ORDERLY WORLD VIEW was driven by crystallography. “Why water boils at 100ºC and methane at -161ºC; why blood is red and grass is green; why diamond is hard and wax is soft; why graphite writes on paper and silk is strong; why glaciers flow and iron gets hard when you hammer it; how muscles contract; how sunlight makes plants grow and how living organisms have been able to evolve into ever more complex forms…? The answers to all these problems have come from structural analysis.” (Max Perutz) https://lnkd.in/dbrsipp View in LinkedIn
