Dunno. I distinctly remember doom and gloom that he'd get away scott free.

I went to school in Kansas. This was all taught, even there

Eh, they have about as much power over that as they do any other privacy breaches. It being DNA doesn't make a huge difference

They don't own the DNA itself, but they do own the rights to the resulting sequence. It's akin to a biography--you don't own the person's life, but the author put it down on paper and owns the rights to the book.

Multiple companies sequencing the same DNA don't end up in copyright spats because the DNA itself isn't copyrightable.

JWST isn't going in circles, it's orbiting the sun. If you look at it relative to that, then it looks more like a sine wave rather than going in circles. However from the perspective of the earth, it looks like it's going in circles

People are "whining" about an out of control tipping culture. Doesn't matter if you like the service or not, tips are fucking ridiculous right now.

I know how to cook, but sometimes I don't want to cook. I don't see why this is such a hard concept to grasp, and I don't know why everyone is so hostile towards people who choose to spend their money on this

It occurs to them, but sometimes you just don't want to.

Yeah but if it gets lost, they have to replace it, and if they leave it in a terrible place that's ripe for theft I can claim I never received it. Stealing from multi-billion dollar corporations is always morally correct. Plus, I get free shit out of it and they stop doing that pretty quickly :)
