Your motive appears to be to troll from a position of ignorance. No, DNA tests do not cause holocausts.

Sure. They might outlaw brown hair, too. They might outlaw last names with vowels. That hypothetical, imaginary risk doesn't make it sensible to dye your hair and change your name.

If the solution to your problem is to trust whomever has the most hashing power, AND you don't care about speed, blockchain is perfect. I agree. For all other use cases it is probably the slowest and least trustworthy database you coul

Organ theft and the holocaust? If that's what you're worried about your problems are already much much much more severe than what we're discussing here.

Well, targets are also victims to some degree, but I get your gist. I would take it a step further: for identity theft the company that fails to verify your identity before reporting false info to a credit agency is at fault - for libel wit

The benefits of personal DNA tests are learning about your health and your genealogy.

No, it is not. That argument is about what should be legal. We are discussing what is personally risky. These are completely different concepts.

I share that information when it benefits me. That's the basis of ACH. Next?

I'm not seeing anything compelling in any of your 5 points. 0. You are arguing that people who aren't subject to a specific risk should be worrying about being subject to that risk. That is a bad argument. So bad it feels absurd t

That's an interesting point, but if your government becomes blatantly oppressive they don't need DNA to do it.

I openly talk about my finances with anyone who wants to talk personal finance. What threat are you imagining this could pose?

What is the impact of having your DNA known? As far as I can tell the worst case scenarios are finding out you have to pay child support or getting placed at the scene of a crime. If those risks don't apply to you, who cares?

As someone who works in cybersecurity, it is perfectly clear to me that victims of attacks don't want to sound inept in their announcements so they ALWAYS say attacks are "sophisticated," "orchestrated," or "ad

The entire point of proof-of-work cryptography is to make things slower, and blockchain is built on proof-of-work, so yeah, applications are limited to situations where slowness is a feature. That's very few situations. But there is an

Blockchain has extremely limited use cases (especially when compared to the hype), but it is great to see that it is resulting in widespread interest in applied cryptography in general.

So you're saying that not every US search warrant received enough scrutiny? What kind of warrant does the CCP have to get before they surveil someone? Since you think their system is equivalent, please explain why you think CCP warrant

Not all cases of depression are effectively treated - some end in suicide - but every single case is worth treating. Resigning oneself to lifelong misery is the worst possible choice.

by all_blue_chucks 6y ago
Your comment, "there's nothing wrong with my brain," doesn't clearly define what you mean by "wrong." From a biological standpoint, there is nothing wrong with misery. You can be miserable from birth to death,

Pushed from the top? What on earth? Guy, there's no conspiracy required to explain urbanization. It is a simple matter of better agriculture tech. We just don't need much labor on farms anymore.

Asymptomatic spread nonexistent? "Our results indicate that silent disease transmission during the presymptomatic and asymptomatic stages are responsible for more than 50% of the overall attack rate in COVID-19 outbreaks." https:

Case counts in children is irrelevant. For an infection to become a case it has to be diagnosed, and that typically only happens with symptoms. But we know young people rarely have symptoms, so obviously they rarely count as cases. INFECTIO

Cameras and mics need hardware off-switches on all mobile devices. Not a digital switch that sends a signal to a CPU - I mean a slider switch that physically disconnects wires.

Are there any hosting providers that claim the opposite? Who has a ToS that specifically allows the items in AWS prohibits?

Why do you say this comes from AWS?
