History
The genus Ureibacillus was split from the genus Bacillus in 2001 to encompass Bacillus thermosphaericus (now Ureibacillus thermosphaericus) as well as several newly discovered similar strains of bacteria.[1]
gollark: Those are excellent words, actually.
gollark: Anthropomorphized phytoplankton or what?
gollark: Make them check each other's code somehow and destroy malfunctioning ones. You can get undetected error rates down low enough that there will probably not be problems.
gollark: You can *detect* an error fairly easily if you store a hash or something, which can be way smaller than the actual data, and just have your thing self-destruct if a mismatch is found.
gollark: > …and then a bit gets flipped and all of a sudden your threshold is now 2.001% by massError correction/detection is basically a solved problem now.
