Check out https://mynucleus.com -- we do whole-genome DNA sequencing from a cheek swab for about $500 (use code savraj10 for 10% off), so no blood drawn as in this example. We also give you your risks for over 2k diseases and, if your partner does the test, predict outcomes for your future kids. Alexis is one of our investors and we have a big announcement coming next week! We also allow download of all raw data and are SOC2 + HIPAA compliant.
What’s stopping a similar crisis that 23andMe customers faced where their genetic data along with their identifying information getting sold to the highest bidder if you ever become insolvent?
Considering how big a deal that was at the time, and how strong a differentiator it would be, it’s notable how absent from the homepage. It’s nice that Nucleus claims not to sell the data, but 23andMe had similar claims, it wasn’t strong enough to prevent genetic data from being transferred if they were to be acquired.
This has always been something I’ve been interested in but so far no company handles privacy concerns of data that’s so deeply fundamentally personal and private in a satisfactory way, and I’m especially apprehensive post-23andMe.
Taking a dice roll on Nucleus not just pulling another 23andMe seems not worth the ~$3000 saving you claim to be offering.

Nucleus employee here. Nucleus is a medical provider that is providing a medical service and is regulated by medical laws, which extend even through bankruptcy or acquisition. Whereas 23andMe was essentially an entertainment company and was regulated as such, which is what enabled that unfortunate situation to occur.
The problem for me is not getting my DNA sequenced but not having to trust a third party with my genetic information. As wirtten in the article, they only achieved a 13% coverage (even less if because you have to assume that not all base calls are correct), which is not useful for any sort of genetic analysis. So the title is really misleading.
You're right that N64 did not have Game Genie (Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis also did), but N64 did have Gameshark, which was the spiritual successor to Game Genie (along with Action Replay). There is a project (https://github.com/JCR64/GoldenEye-007-N64-Gun-Game) that adds games to Goldeneye via Gameshark
Not yet. Unfortunately, these are usually quite big, and we didn't want to sacrifice the portability. But you can add a PM sensor through the extension port. We'll document this in our upcoming manual.
A fellow Crowd Supply project, Polverine[1], uses a new Bosch sensor that is very small. If we do a refresh of the device, we'll certainly look into adding it.
IMO, PM2.5 sensors are essential nowadays. What's the point of a device without one? Especially for $229. I can get a chinese thingy like qingping for ~$115 with PM2.5 and other stuff.
Perhaps that will change when the price goes up in a few years, assuming Phil Murphy gives up on frivolous lawsuits and asking the president to stick his nose in.
