Met her a couple of times recently. Something is odd about that person. In our University everybody is free to sit in any lecture he or she wants. You can also take most exams in arbitrary order although it is not recommended. So the first time I met her was in a pretty difficult and fairly advanced lecture. But nowadays I saw her a couple of times in a beginners lecture meant for first semester students (I am teaching there). I guess perhaps she has no idea in which order she is supposed to do these lectures. Or maybe she is just weird, whatever.
She keeps talking to me from time to time. Said she started on her bachelor thesis but I kinda doubt it seeing how she just finished a first semester course in winter.
23AndMe is apparently looking to sell the company. I wonder what that means for all the genetic data they have. I don't have an account for The Atlantic so I can't read the rest of their news, but presumably whoever would buy the company would then have access to that, and I don't think there are any HIPPA or equivalent protections on it
I'd bet it would be a treasure trove for pharmaceutical manufacturing and genetic research. I know they sold some genetic information a few years ago but they did that without identifying information attached
It's be like a really boring biopunk dystopia. My TV started giving me ads when I turn it on recently (which is real fucking cool), and now I'm imagining it just being like "bioinformation says you have cancer. Get a prescription for Avastin today" and then you get connected to someone that is technically a doctor but really mostly just selling drugs to people right on your TV since they have cameras now to give you a prescription.
3D printer is working again. Had to get a bunch of parts, cuz I forgot I kind of modded it and then never finished modding it. Turns out thermistors aren't all the same
Although I get these really weird artifacts, I think its from my bed not being clean. Not really sure, I've seen this before though and I think cleaning the build plate fixed it. Eh, I'll figure it out, worst case scenario it rips the rest of the model off and it catches fire again
