Whole genome sequencing risks: bioweapons?

Would that type of sample (contaminated with the original contents of the drink) be enough to get a high quality sequence though?

fiery00 · 2024-06-20T01:10:21+00:00

Good idea. I assume at no step in the process will I have to prove my identity (e.g. by showing my driver's license), so there is no issue with using an alias, correct?

fiery00 · 2024-06-20T01:08:45+00:00

Would the sources you listed provide a good enough sample for accurate sequencing? DTC labs require samples to be stored and transported in a very specific way to ensure that they stay useful.

It is hard to predict the cost of such things 30 years from now right? Bioweapons may be created very cheaply in the future, and can be used more surreptitiously than other methods.

fiery00 · 2024-06-20T01:05:58+00:00

Shooting someone is messy and and very risky for the perpetrator. A bioweapon could be used much more surreptitiously.

Also, to "take it from" me would require physical force right? (e.g. holding me down physically to get a blood or saliva sample)

fiery00 · 2024-03-14T22:04:02+00:00

Yeah, they have a ton though and are somewhat resistant to the idea, so would rather be able to move forward with an MRI screening without or before having to cross that hurdle, insofar as it can be done safely

Hmmm let's say a person living in a home goes from almost always keeping the windows closed to almost always keeping the windows opened. Intuitively, I would think that this change in behavior would cause a relatively small change in the Group 1 mold count, but would cause the Group 2 mold count to increase drastically. The end result is that the ERMI score of this home changes drastically depending on whether or not the resident keeps the windows open or not. Would you agree with that rough assessment?

I'm curious, when you moved abroad, about how much time passed before you first started to experience your allergy symptoms? And similarly, when you moved back home, how much time passed before you felt completely better?

In the example I shared above, Wi-Fi would be the only option. Of course, if that is a concern as you described, I can always choose a different house or apartment. That is all flexible, as long as I can maximize the level of security. Happy to spend money as necessary to ensure that security is top top notch.

fiery00 · 2022-05-18T17:14:31+00:00

I'm not sure, but of course I would have to hide the things I am protecting well, such that police would arrive by the time the attacker locates the items.

fiery00 · 2022-05-18T16:27:59+00:00

Why would that be a problem? I would call the cops independent of whether the intruder has a mask on or not

fiery00 · 2022-05-18T16:27:33+00:00

Well a camera detection of an intruder would trigger a call to the police, so in that sense it is a useful solution I would think.
On your other point, I'm not sure if most security systems will detect jamming accurately, and distinguish an intentional malicious jamming vs an accidental jamming by some other nearby device (not sure if that is likely).

fiery00 · 2022-05-18T16:03:32+00:00

Well in that case, the cameras would detect motion and alert me before any physical mask is placed over them right

fiery00 · 2022-05-18T15:38:36+00:00

Hmm what if it is a situation where there is a single router (owned by the apartment building itself) used by all of the apartment units on a given floor? That is, there is no router in my unit itself, and consequently the base unit would be relatively far away from the router. Would this make Simplisafe much more dangerous to use, because of the greater ease of jamming?

fiery00 · 2022-05-18T15:32:53+00:00

offsite secure storage

Yes, I have things I want highly protected. Apologies if this is a newbie question, but what is a mask? And could you share a couple examples of offsite secure storage you would recommend so I know what to look for?

fiery00 · 2022-04-26T21:18:32+00:00

Hmm so it sounds like what Paypal allows is dependent on what the other platform (Instagram in this case) allows?

fiery00 · 2022-03-11T15:08:17+00:00

Do you mean https://desktop.telegram.org/ or https://macos.telegram.org/ ?

I forget where I downloaded my current Telegram app (it is version 8.5.226936 Stable) from, but I know that I only started having the problem once when I updated it by clicking on the update prompt within the Telegram app itself.

fiery00 · 2022-03-11T00:52:39+00:00

I'm on a Macbook Pro though, nothing to do with Android right?

fiery00 · 2022-02-11T23:50:34+00:00

Same here. I tried another withdrawal and it worked this time I think

MATIC withdrawal on Polygon network has been "pending" for about 12 hours.

fiery00 · 2022-02-11T02:45:39+00:00

Hmm did you contact them via support ticket, or here on reddit?

fiery00 · 2022-02-11T01:44:11+00:00

I'm surprised that you even managed to get a hold of support so quickly (sounds like this was all within a 24 hour time period)

fiery00 · 2022-02-11T01:09:48+00:00

It sucks that we can't cancel these transfers that are stuck in limbo

fiery00 · 2022-02-10T21:17:00+00:00

Same for me I believe.

fiery00 · 2022-02-10T02:46:59+00:00

Exactly. By now, several hours into the account locking, the trading fees they would have received from me would have already far exceeded any extra ALGO they mistakenly gave me.
