1)Close your windows if you don’t have screens in them or bats will come in
2)If you wake up with a bat in your bedroom or, for example, ON YOUR PILLOW, go get a rabies shot

We live in a town with just 2 builders.
You can only buy a house from one of them (Builder G and Builder A).
If you buy a house from Builder A, you won't be able to install any appliances or make any changes unless approved by A.
To get into A's approved list of products/applianced, you need to pay them a 30% commission...
This would never be accepted in the real world, but we go for it on the App stores.
Not the perfect analogy, but explains what happens with Apple and Google.

John Oliver shares a powerful example of what is wrong with the attitude towards #privacy and security in Silicon Valley. Don't give #GAFAM your data. It isn't safe.

Three people with inherited diseases successfully treated with #CRISPR
"That great pioneer of contraception, Marie Stopes – honoured with a postage stamp in 2008 – was a hardline eugenicist, determined that the "hordes of defectives" be reduced in number, thereby placing less of a burden on "the fit". Stopes later disinherited her son because he had married a short-sighted woman, thereby risking a less-than-perfect grandchild."
(same for Margaret Sanger BTW)

Genetics should be a racism killer... in theory, because most nationalists/racists confronted with this dilemma just reject genetics 😂 This makes this lecture even more interesting:
