This could allow us to help the police narrow searches by comparing DNA found at a crime scene with the faces of thousands of passersby recorded by a nearby security camera, for instance. But the technique could also be applied to help diagnose certain diseases: what genetic problems do people with specific features have?

I don't know. I think of weird things in my spare time. Maybe this would all be mental masturbation anyway, since moral changes are not as easy as simply making or accepting a pull request; but I think it'd be a good tool for discussion and idea trade. I might give it a shot.

(Cheer-)Leader.

When I looked around the arena at my robotics competition, I counted only three other girls out of over a thousand high school students working on their teams’ robots. Glancing at the bleachers, I watched girls parading as mascots, girls cheering for their teams, and girls dancing in the stands. But I didn’t see girls on the competition floor. Maybe in the next few years that gender balance will change, and the timid girls in the bleachers will be replaced by fearless women who are undaunted by society’s confining expectations. Someday, my all-girls team will not be the exception to the unspoken rule, but until then, we have to keep breaking it.

I know it’s trendy to fight the system and cry that we are all becoming slaves of technology, but this attitude overlooks that computers and phones are tools for communicating. When someone thinks I’m an idiot smiling at a machine, I’m actually smiling at my girlfriend who is 10000 miles away and whom I would have never met if not for these newfangled electronics. As they say: when the wise man points to the moon, the fool looks at the finger.
