Fun!

Still trying to figure out exactly what was wrong about what he did. A linked article says:

“…the defendant violated the Lacey Act that restricts wildlife trafficking and prohibits the sale of falsely labeled wildlife.”

I guess specifically bringing embryos/sperm of a banned animal into Montana, more than the cloning operation.

The World Health Organization said it was safe up to a certain level. The people in the WHO who said that work for Coca-Cola.

This means we can’t rely on the recommendation, and the actual “safe” amount may be much lower than that. The article goes into good depth and gives counterarguments too.

It is important to note that in reality there is no safe amount for a carcinogen. Sometimes a threshold is set to reduce risk to a reasonable amount in necessary workplace exposure or medical treatments.

The truth is, I think we’ll all eventually realize any sweetener should be seen as candy, not a thirst quencher.

Will this global push end up limiting miniaturization of electronics? Even if it does, may still be a worthwhile tradeoff.
