Attorney General Bonta Urgently Issues Consumer Alert for 23andMe Customers
  • That allows visualization of PCRed product, which is a far cry from whole genome sequencing. You can visualize a target at a time with no sequence info. Using it for sequences would be extremely tedious and require a lot of runs.

  • China considers participating in peacekeeping forces in Ukraine
  • The bigger question rather than letting them step into that spot is whether it means we'll let them take Taiwan and other contested islands in the Pacific without a struggle. I think they'll be allowed because there isn't another option while Republicans remain in power in the US.

  • 20% of Americans support boycott of firms aligning themselves with Trump agenda
  • Big reason behind how Walmart destroys communities. All the mom&pop stores can't compete and start going out of business. They either have to move or work at Walmart. Walmart pays shit so even if you wanted to you can't afford any remaining mom&pop. Then once you can't even buy at Walmart or try and fight for better pay and conditions, they just fucking leave and everyone is out of work and there's no stores to take on employees or customers.

  • ‘Try actually fighting’: Democrats face voters’ fury at town halls.
  • Not just presidential matters. Local and state are much less fucked with. A 3rd party in first past the post just creates a split of neolib/socialists while the fascists remain united. Division in the American system is just a way to have the other party win. Republicans allowed the Tea party because that is what they wanted as well. Neolibs won't allow a split progressive/socialist with the exception of Bernie (because how do you fuck with Vermont).

  • Trump fires both Democratic commissioners at FTC
  • Is this an actual firing or a thing like the nlrb or whistleblower where it is illegal and gets reversed. I remember Biden not being able to fire R commissioners from their positions being a reason for certain things not getting done.

  • Democratic Socialist Shows Major Fundraising Strength in NYC Mayor’s Race
  • I think it's very telling that mamdami's money comes from 16,000 individual donors while Cuomos comes from less than 3,000 individuals. Cuomo still has name recognition and frankly most people don't care as shown by repeated election of moderate Dems even in "safe" democratic areas.

  • Young scientists see career pathways vanish as schools adapt to federal funding cuts
  • It's called indirect costs to use appropriate terms. These are part of awarded grant money but not part of the actual proposed research budget. These costs exist because there are utilities, office supplies, yes admin, etc that are needed to actually perform research that are 1) hard/impossible/impractical to quantify on a per grant basis and 2) specifically disallowed from being paid via the research budget.

    The practice is fine in principle. Rates have gone up because inflation has gone up more than the budgets have. Also how universities allocate that part of their budget should also be changed. Rates should be walked back but that needs to be concurrent with budget increases.

    Note that except for part of the PIs salary all salaries, benefits, equipment, reagents, etc are paid from the research budget.

  • He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.
  • People are dumb, especially when lied to 24/7.

    The average Russian probably still thinks that Ukraine is Nazis and that they are winning. The average Chinese doesn't know about Tiananmen square students protest or the brutal suppression much less Uyghurs genocide. Name a country and there's something along those lines ongoing or at least in recent history. The far-right in Europe is doing much like America was just 10-20y ago other places are already ahead into their authoritarian phase.
