More surveillence and DNA testing.

Commented in Scientists grow mouse which is 4% human
I always thought it was unethical to do such things with human DNA. Aah, wait a minute, it is only unethical when others do it. I understand.

Commented in Pentagon warns against military service members using Ancestry, 23andMe kits
Much ado about nothing IMHO. Even if your "personal data" is leaked, it does not tell an adversary where you are located or what you are doing. Unless mandated, not sure how the U.S. Military is going to restrict their members from using a DNA site/test.

Commented in $5bn project to map DNA of every animal, plant and fungus
It isn't going to tell us anything we don't already know or need to know. It's another $5bn out the window so that in two hundred years time, the boffins can look back at all the wonderful varieties of wildlife that exisited in the past but don't exist anymore because they spent $5bn on mapping DNA instead of $5bn on wildlife reserves and protecting their natural environment.

Commented in Adequate Consumption of ‘Longevity’ Vitamins Could Prolong Healthy Aging, Nutrition Scientist Says
Oh, you've heard:
the same nutrients we need to maintain our day-to-day health – such as vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium – are also critical components of enzymes required for our bodies’ long-term maintenance, in roles such as DNA repair, cardiovascular health and prevention of oxidative damage.
Or:
As a consequence, Ames writes, when the body is faced with shortages of key nutrients, it must “ration” them, enabling enzymes critical to our immediate survival and reproductive capacity to keep functioning at the expense of longer-term physiological needs.
Or:
such trade-offs can be seen in people with chronic, low-level deficiencies in Vitamin K and the element selenium (which are key components of 16 and 25 different enzymes, respectively).
Or maybe just that long-term vitamin and mineral deficiencies have observable effects?

Commented in Trump denies offering $1 million for Warren DNA test, even though he did
Nothing in her DNA test showed that she has Indian or Southeast Asian genetics. Maybe Trump knew what he was doing. LOL.

Commented in 20 Tips How To Protect Environment From Pollution [In Daily Life]
I found the article's writing made a good deal more sense once translated to Arabic, then to Swahili, through German, Haitian Creole, Urdu, then back to English. Here's the improved version:
Today, I show you how to avoid the pollution of the environment so that you maintain your environment and enjoy the good environment. The world started to look like a great journey. People interfere with nature and try to change as much as possible, and nature starts taking revenge on us.
Do you think that you will help? Not true Imagine that many people believe that you believe. Fortunately, you can change your behavior and use these tips.
20 environmental protection tips in daily life
Ideal # 1 We can do more about each of the environments. You do not have to look for some ways or engage in some organizations - just look yourself, your environment, because you will do several times!
No. # 2 Separation of waste - it will not take much time, but it is very important. Other things allow insulation recycling.
# 3 Heat heat If you smoke, do not use plastic or paint printing. Put plastic in a specific container and for example, put the magazine in the old paper.
# 4 Buy energy efficiency products - it's more expensive, but it's more economical because it reduces your energy costs.
# 5 After leaving the room, clear the lights, TVs and computers and do not miss the screen!

# 6 Cook, many people remember in the hungry world! Find online recipes for relaxation - you'll be surprised by these amazing things you can do with them.
# 7 Leave a small place in your garden, where there is a natural life. Growing insects and wild plants that fertilize themselves and make the soil more fertile. Create a player and send the kitchen out of the kitchen - affect the quality of the world too.
# 8 Use natural techniques to protect plants, avoid chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
# 9 Put on the food of the flowers, the flowers of the flowers, and make a little pond. Your garden forms a row of small animals and gives them magic.
# 10 I do not have a garden? Do not worry You can fly a "Stop" on the window or location.
# 11 Instead of working on the car instead of saving the environment rather than saving money by bike or public transport!
No. # 12 Buy interior, seasonal and organic food items.
# 13 Buy environmentalized products that are not only used for food, but also for electronics and cosmetics.
# 14 Become shopping with clothes bags or papers. Avoid Plastic Bag - If you need to take them, try again, for example and frozen foods.
Ideal # 15 You should learn to buy files, for example, dangerous, legitimate type!
# 16 idea Stay in the garden of agrotourism instead of a large city, noise and lounge. In the rural areas you will get comfort and strength.
No. # 17 To respect nature, do not mix wild plants and flowers, do not be afraid of animals.
No. # 18 If you're still in school or learn, encourage the trees to create a project with your friends.
The trees are important, not only provide the shade and protection of hot weather, but also make air clean. It is carbon dioxide, removes toxic substances, reduces noise and is home to many animals.
No. # 19 Show others you are an environmental friend! Let's take an example from you!
# 20 Remember that the destruction environment can not be rebuilt once! Do not react to the reaction because we depend on nature.

Commented in Bill Gates calls GMOs 'perfectly healthy' — and scientists say he's right
"What are we labeling here, DNA?" Alison Van Eenennaam, a professor of animal genomics at the University of California at Davis, recently told Business Insider. "There's DNA in everything, so good luck with that."
No, patents. If it has patented DNA then it's not the same as food without patented DNA. The trouble is Bill loves patents and copyright.

Commented in Genes linked to homosexuality discovered by scientists
For the first time, researchers looked at the complete genome - a person’s entire DNA code - for more than 1,000 gay men
Not all of them,just the males. Now they have finally found a way to punish gay men for having sex like they punish straight women for having sex. It would be interesting if they could use this as a double edged sword and see if homophobes also have this gene and neuro difference. I'm willing to bet they will.

Commented in Genetically Engineering Yourself Sounds Like A Horrible Idea, But This Guy Is Doing It Anyway
I think it's weird the article doesn't mention possible epigenetic effects. I mean, sure, he might've succeeded in injecting DNA into some cells, but what's to say that it won't be downregulated?

Commented in Google billionaire Eric Schmidt: People want dish-washing robots that clean up the kitchen
One thing that bothers me about the article:
And while we can identify a job that's lost, we can also identify a much larger number, in my view, of jobs that are created because of greater efficiency, greater interconnection and so forth and so on. I'm a jobs optimist in that regard.
What kinds of jobs then? I mean, eventually we'll run out of (semi-)meaningful jobs to make for ourselves, and you already see that there's a growing discontent with jobs, that people don't really see the point of their jobs, don't understand why they should do it, but only really do these jobs because they're not going to be able to live otherwise. So people slave away without really getting why they do what they do.
Meanwhile another problem is that for every job robots might take over, you end up with people out of a job. Like the doctors thing he mentions -- this might mean that one doctor could eventually do the work of two doctors before, because he can just talk to people, plug it in to the computer, or hell, DNA analysis is getting cheap enough that soon you'll just be able to test people on known gene-drug interactions and the PC can throw out not only which drugs should be used, but what dosage will be most effective etc. And with each patient you get you get another whoooole dataset to refine algorithms in the future. This isn't even taking into account that with some moderate success we could (within a few decades) expect CRISPR/cas9 to shake up entire areas of the field.
So what will that do with the people left? Our current solution is just to expect people to get another job. But won't we run out of meaningful things to do, while the ones at the top of the coorporations owning the robots will get richer, and us lowly workers will end up with less and less?

Commented in To treat back pain, look to the brain not the spine
I may or may not have issues with my CNS. I've had a bunch of DNA tests to try and figure my neuropathy symptoms but they all came back negative. I have a tumour on my spinal cord so we've decided to blame that for the neurological stuff. My neurosurgeon said years ago that it wasn't the cause but the process of elimation with my neurologists seem to leave us with just the tumour. I've been told I'm untreatable and untestable so we'll never really know.

Commented in Using DNA As a Memory Drive
It's crazy the stuff they're coming up with and also the speed at which it's happening. I've gone from basic programming on a Commodore PET to watching movies encoded in DNA in a little over 30 years.

Commented in White supremacists taking DNA tests sad to discover they’re not 100% white
I want to take a DNA test. I think it will be so cool discover African, Middle Eastern, or whatever heritage! These morons need to stop with nonsense and do something more useful with their lives. Obviously they forgot that we are all humans. It's very hard for me to understand the people who, instead of reading more, contribute to the community they're in, help the planet becoming more livable (regarding pollution and wastes), are more concerned with unimportant things that do harm and slow human evolution because they multiply and transmit foolishness and ignorance to their children.
“My advice is to trust your own family tree geneaology research and what your grandparents have told you, before trusting a DNA test,” one user wrote on the forum after receiving what the study describes as “bad news.” Wtf??

Commented in Strange Radio Bursts Seen Coming From a Galaxy Far, Far Away
The Universe has been here forever, and it will be here forever. Our means of dealing with scientific discoveries require us to only consider the life of the Universe back only to the Big Bang, so that ties our hands when it comes to what we think these radio waves are. They could very well be relay stations boosting signals from sources way beyond the visible Universe. Our own DNA/RNA didn't come from star dust just dancing around in space, and I seriously doubt that we, as a people, are the center of the Universe.

Commented in Making a Murderer nephew Brendan Dassey freed by judge
Freed for which murder? The one he committed in the bedroom where there was no DNA whatsoever? Or the one in the garage...where there was also no DNA whatsoever? The prosecutor, judge and police all need to be in prison. This case was such a massive Constitutional violation that I don't even know where to begin. I hope Dassey sues the shit out of them. How they could convict him with two different confessions is beyond me. They still don't know if she was killed in the bedroom or the garage. Depending on the time of day they will claim she was killed in either location...yet there is zero DNA in either location. The reason is simple- she was not killed on that property. The police killed her and framed Dassey and Avery. Period.

Commented in Fences: A Brexit Diary
How about the media being at fault for not seperating legal and illegal immigration?
People don't want unlimited illegal immigrants or refugees coming over unchecked. Sure, bring over the refugee families(mother and/or father and "real" children) but don't be bussing in a load of men whom quite clearly lied about their age.
Bring in national ID cards and fingerprint and DNA sample every single refugee and illegal immigrant found here.
This won't happen of course because it's racist and bigotted to ever consider doing such a thing.

Soulless greedy waste of DNA. I have boycotted Nestle's since they were shown to be killing babies back in the '70s. Now they want to kill more of us through thirst.

Commented in Mounting data suggest antibacterial soaps do more harm than good
Same here. We live surrounded and infused with bacteria. Around us, on us, in us. Half our cells (or some similar ratio) are bacteria. The earth's biomass is probably largely bacteria by a large factor. Bacteria is found in the upper atmosphere and kilometres below the earth. Bacteria can communicate with each other by exchanging DNA. Multi-celled animals are almost an afterthought in evolution. Bacteria may well be what life is really about.
Also I find many kinds of cleaning things cause my skin to react badly.

Commented in Sunburns indicate Alien Origin of Human Life
Not teaching biology properly leads to stupid ideas like this.
The reason we get sunburn is because we evolved in a sun poor environment and we now live inside most of the time and rarely go outside. Our cells share DNA and cell mechanisms with all living things on earth as far as we know. Occam's razor.
