Nutritional yeast has cheese like flavor.


There are 1000s of varieties of cheese and most don't taste like nutritional yeast.


Ah yes - Old age and cunning shall overcome newfangled technology.


There's MakerNexus as an alternative now.


but would it contain itself ?


If it is a periodic table of all periodic tables then yes it would contain itself. Obviously.

If it was a periodic table of all periodic tables except those that contain itself then it would only contain itself if it does not contain itself, I mean it would not contain itself if it does contain itself, I mean, goddam it Bertrand Russell, how did you find me here?

Obviously. It'd be one of the tables known to Harvard. Just leave enough room for the ones to be discovered.


Every discovered table would contain items known to the state of California to be oncogenic.


> one of the tables known to Harvard

This has the cadence of a reference, but Google didn't help me. Am I missing something?


It's from The Elements, by Tom Lehrer (the final lyric of the song).

Thank you!


This'd make a nice lyric. If only "Harvard" rhymed with "discovered".


With the right accent, they rhyme.


you're suggesting a periodic table of all periodic tables that do not contain themselves. sounds doable.

<Unless I'm missing something ... quick mutation of the virus>

It is a long article but you missed the part at the beginning of the article explaining that malaria is not caused by a virus or bacteria but a parasite.

Also the chart labelled 'Vaccine Discovery' which clearly shows no previously existing vaccines against parasites.

Also, the world map showing where Malaria has not been eradicated clearly indicates that it is found in the tropical belt where unfortunately a lot of poor countries exist.


It's an open question if the parasite (plasmodium) causes the infection because of a virus.

That's not what that paper says. That paper says that the parasite can itself be infected with certain viruses, and maybe we should look into how those viruses affect hosts infected with malaria.

The condition Malaria is caused by the parasite.


Nope.

That paper just reports the discovery of a virus that is a parasite of the plasmodium parasite that causes malaria in humans.

Plasmodium and all its relatives have become parasites a very long time ago, causing a variety of diseases in many animals.

How the Apicomplexa, including the plasmodia, have become parasites has nothing to do with the viruses that may be parasites of these parasites (a.k.a. hyperparasites), which are most likely to diminish the speed of the multiplication of the plasmodia.


That is not at all what that paper is looking at.


Sugar has origins in ancient India where it was known as 'sharkara' in Sanskrit[1].

For reasons I haven't been able to figure out, some modern Indian languages (like Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi) call it 'cheeni' which is the same word to refer to someone as Chinese. Other languages use variations of the Sanskrit 'sakhar', 'sakkare'

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sugar


In Hindi we only call the crystallized version chini possibly due to Chinese figuring out the crystallization process. The crude version is called Shakar in Hindi.


I would be interested in knowing of any non-crypto use case of decentralized blockchains that has gone mainstream and is financially viable.
