outlier posted:It's not just racial issues, there's a whole heap of problems with genetic correlates of disease. Yes, exactly. There are relatively few diseases/conditions that can be reliably predicted given the sort of analysis commonly done at present. In reality most diseases are likely caused by a complex network of many variables that are very difficult to analyze in a way that isn't incredibly computationally intensive. Progress is definitely being made in the area of systems genetics, but we're a long way from being able to do a 23andme style test and say "mm yes you're definitely going to get X disease." I think part of the problem is that, until relatively recently (like the last couple decades) biology/genetics didn't require the same level of statistical/mathematical expertise that it now does. So you have a lot of bunch of biologists just running GWAS's because they lack the background to do a more complex analysis. A lot of the talent that the field could use is siphoned off into more lucrative fields like finance (etc) because the same money isn't there in biology/genetics. Most of the people doing this sort of work are doing it because of personal passion.

quote:Who thinks to themself, "uh-oh, almost out of corn, better make a grocery list"? Anyone born before 2010 (or so I thought)? The grocery list is on the fridge door. If I see something is low or out, I write it on the list along with all the groceries I know I need for next week's intended meals. On Saturday, I buy it, stock the fridge and then start the next list. No webcams or fridge apps required. Edit: ^^^ That too. I'm made of corn. Roll in lemon juice and cayenne, then grill myself and call it a day.

Our house uses a google doc with a shopping list that we add to whenever we use the last of a spice or open the last carton of milk or use the last rechargable battery or whatever. I could imagine a world with RFIDs in everything that makes life slightly easier (though I could also imagine the devil being in the details of that implementation) but this or the paper equivalent isn't that hard and probably beats looking at live images.

This is actually the major use of Alexa in our house: "Alexa, add milk to the shopping list". The kids are now more likely to update the list when they use the last of something. (We did not buy it to use as a shopping list; that's just how it shook out. The music is great, too.)

My dad has severe dyslexia and I grew up drawing little pictures of food (and writing very neatly in English in case he needed to ask for help at the store). Still do it when I visit.

No matter where you are in the cooking process, you can start a timer or update the shopping list. Privacy? What privacy? Spy on me, ye conglomerates! I need your shiny shiny toys.

I just love this from the Juicero article: In terms of wifi kitchen appliances, fridge with rfid/barcode scanner, stove and oven with thermal probes and/or camera could be neat to let you pre-heat or monitor the cooking process remotely. Doesn't even have to work over internet, though that would be trivial at that point. But just checking my roast over LAN would be great so I don't have to get my lazy rear end off the computer chair. I actually already sometimes use my wifi camera to do that...

A lot of that internet-of-things stuff seems neat-o as like a hobby or whatever but not useful to like your typical person. Most of it isn't even practical or time-saving even for early-adopting techies.

Its going to be very interesting to see which of these are still in business and seen widespread adoption in 5 years. A good friend of mine is an early adopter for all kinds of tech, which is nice for me as I get to hear from him what is useful and what isn't. So far the devices he likes the most are Hue lighting and Nest.

It's gone from the basic premise being super-dumb -- how exactly is juice any different between being squeezed "fresh" from a bag of salad treated to be shelf-stable, vs squeezed from a heap of salad at a factory and treated to be shelf-stable in the bottle? -- to the entire gadget being a sham. Actually I'd bet the reason the bags are just bags of juice, not bags of whole chunky stuff, is that juice is much more naturally stable than chunky stuff. Higher concentration of sugars, acids, and other natural preservatives once you remove all the other stuff.

Uh, the bags are very much not shelf-stable. They were originally available in only 3 states, and now only in 17, because they need to be shipped and received very soon after being made or they go bad.

The more I think about this the more absurd it gets. It's pretty much a vise with useless IoT bells and whistles haphazardly bolted on in a vain attempt to qualify as a tech product. poo poo like this gets millions in seed money and we have people using gofundme to finance their cancer treatments.

Juicing as an obsession is such a urban white people dieting fad. They want to tout the merits of juicing as some cure-all when without consuming the skin and pulp you're losing out on a huge amount of the nutritional value of the produce. The only juicing site/blog I ever saw that made me think "hey maybe this isn't a bad idea" was someone who took all the leftover pulp and used it as a cooking ingredient in soups, omelettes, baking etc. because otherwise you are throwing away 90% of the edible material.
