    1. @pel0Dec 2019· in “Ask HN: Would you trust an ancestry DNA test?”

      Smarter Every Day made a pretty interesting video about 23&Me. this video . I'm not pro/anti 23&Me or anything but it brings an interesting perspective.

    2. @djsumdogFeb 2019· in “One of the Biggest At-Home DNA Testing Companies Is Working with the FBI”

      Wait a second, I though these companies didn't sequence DNA. I thought most of them just ran your DNA against known patterns to see if they patch to give you a probably/percentage of ancestry, with all the original samples being destroyed: this video Does ancestry actually sample and save entire DNA sequences (I guess they have to in order to do family tree matching)? Crazy.

    3. @propogandistJun 2018· in “Luxury hotels are being inundated with requests from self-described influencers”

      influencers are very selective with their 'reviews' and may chose to leave out things like data-privacy policies, when reviewing a company that provides you DNA analysis -- which should make you question all the information you get from such sources this video
