"You worry that someone in today’s tech world might watch “Gattaca” — a film that features a eugenicist future in which people with ordinary DNA are relegated to menial jobs — and see it as an inspirational launching point for a collaboration between 23andMe and a charter school."

We all support it except for the half dozen land owners that are fed misinformation then use their guns and peer pressure to block vital transmission lines
New research shows rural Victorians are strong supporters of renewable energy, with the majority of ppl living in regions with the biggest projects backing wind and solar.

I have a Motorola Edge 30 5G Dual SIM (128GB) smartphone for sale. Running stock Android but can be flashed with the latest version of LineageOS if you want to go off grid. Works well but has a bit of wear and tear. Yours for $200 posted! DM me if you're keen.

In any other context, what would we think about some unseen stranger eavesdropping on kids’ conversations to see what they’re talking about?
I missed that Communications Minister Anika Wells said that kids talking on social media about plans to get around the teen ban will be picked up by the platforms as a signal that they are under 16.
