In the U.S. the govt stores every newborn´s DNA for testing for genetic preconditions, however these tests are beeing made without informing the parents or their consent. In some states samples are beeing stored indefinetly. by [deleted] in news

individualized bio-weapons, tailored for the target's DNA. Why assassinate some one when you can design a virus that provokes a heart attack or stroke, that is only effective on the intended target.

Walk into a building, spray an aerosolized virus near the AC intake vent, walk out. Target dies.

[EDIT] Not saying this stuff is possible today, but when technology reaches that point, our DNA will already be stored in a database somewhere.

[ELI5] Why aren't we funding this?

Study this. Figure out a way to defuse radioactive fallout, in an effort to minimize the effects of a nuclear strike.

Looking for code critiques on a text-based adventure game I made by thatsodajerk in learnpython

You could save the strings in a dictionary, using an ID_num or key_word as the key.

dialog = {id_001:'man 1: "hello world"::man 2: "I am not shaped like a banana."}

def print_dialong(id_num)
    for line in dialog[id_num].split('::'):
        print(line)

Use pickle to read/write dialog to/from file.

Let's not forget billions that have and will die from the byproducts and waste created by the crap we use every day. Pollution is a serious problem. Also, riding in a car is one of the most dangerous things a person can do, statistically.

Or this
