I'm interested as well in implementing Conway's Game of Life but I wonder, what are the applications of this system in computation? Can a Turing Machine be constructed with this system?
Yeah. The only illness called by a place where it didn't start or was discovered. Totally fair.
Calling it Spanish Flu (instead of 1918 pandemic) were it had no relationship with Spain..
Unsourced comments by somebody without on-the-ground knowledge about the matter he's talking about.
I wish people stop calling that Spanish Flu where it's totally unrelated to Spain...
People without any knowledge of the topic, you mean.
In fact, the only relationship that virus had with Spain is that the press was not censored as in the other European countries of that time (because of their involvement in the Great War).
Would you recommend that book to a software engineer with an interest in Maths?
Doesn't Apple was trying to measure glucose with their watch?
I think that "not caring about other people actions" should be the standard way of thinking if you think their actions doesn't cause harm to other humans. That's what I get from that text.
Because he respects others people's decisions and don't want to force his/her ideas in them.

According to [1] even Barcelona football (soccer) players were pushed to learn Catalan, even experiencing racism for wanting to speak Spanish.

Do you have any sources on that? As far as I know they had the same rights given by the Crown (legally at least).
Interesting tale about a Columbus voyage to Ireland. Have any info on that?
As time passes our society should be judged more severely. You can't judge actions of XVI century, bit you can sure judge actions of XX century.
I'm not defending anybody, just setting some historical context.
Aztecs were conquered with the help of other slaved tribes. Do you really thing that several sailors could conquering an empire of millions? Spaniards were helped by Aztec enemies.
Pretty interesting how independent latin-american governments succeeded in conquering native lands and subjugating native population: See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Araucan%C3%ADa
Please note I'm giving sources.
Spanish Crown edicted some laws to protect the natives https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_Burgos
What legal protection had the native population in the American colonies or British Empire?
According to [1], slaved population by Aztec was sacrificed by the thousands, so I could see the slaved people treating the newcomers as gods, or more likely liberators and joining them in the war against Aztec Empire.

Do you really think that a hundred of undisciplined soldiers could fight and won a war against an empire? Spanish conquerors were lucky that Aztecs were hated by other natives and allied them.
It was more like a civil war than a conquest.
Not true at all. English made propaganda about supposed atrocities and that propaganda is alive today: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_legend
Do you have any sources of that? Claiming 8 million people were slaved is a bit of stretch, don't you think?
Another victim of Black Legend...
Where is that money? Was it lost to corruption, mismanagement or incompetence?
Do you have any independent sources of that?
How this relates to what I'm saying?
What's the minimum size of people to ask for independence? One person, one thousand, one million?
