more than anything I'm just upset at the continued demonization of foreign nationals. People who believe the circumstances of one's birth should impact anything important should not hold public office.

I have a GoFundMe set up, but itās been very slow going. I feel like I can do so much for some company or someone, but no attempts have born fruit. gofund.me/573195155

"It asks providers of synthesized DNA and manufacturers of synthesis machines to check synthesis requests for sequences of concern and to verify customer legitimacy before shipping orders."
Uh-huh.

Many DNA synthesis companies voluntarily screen orders to mitigate biosecurity risks, but no law requires them to do so.
Leaders in AI, biotech, life sciences, national security, and the nucleic acid synthesis industry agree that Congress should act to strengthen safeguards against biological threats.
@deanwball put it well in the WSJ:
āIf youāre synthesizing the stuff that yields biological life and viruses, weāre asking you to screen to see whether it is dangerous in some way. That seems like a reasonable thing for society to insist upon.ā

It's bizarre that US government rules make it impossible for US companies to compete with foreign manufactures because of ITAR. The US invented the technology and Chinese companies are selling better hardware because they don't have to follow US laws.
Today I learned that thermal imagining cameras mostly operate at 7fps for consumers, but I haven't exactly learned WHY that is the case.
