On: Folding@home takes up the fight against COVID-19

Maybe they should reconsider the integration with BOINC. That would give them access to one of the largest distributed clusters.

I can see they have staff shortages that prohibits that: https://foldingathome.org/faqs/high-performance/fah-on-boinc...

Did you mean "inhibit"? Prohibit means to forbid.

[Symmetry → anticensor]

Prohibit as in "(of a fact or situation) prevent (something); make impossible." rather than "formally forbid (something) by law, rule, or other authority". It's not the most common usage of the word but it's still a pretty common one.

[drewbug → Symmetry]

e.g. "prohibitively expensive"

[ptah → anticensor]

to me "inhibit" means more like dampening or lessening something while "prohibit" means stopping something completely
