Now imagine living in House 4 and being awoken by fire alarms and a smoke-filled corridor:

How is this legal, fire code-wise? It’s a maze of easily-blocked corridors with no window entry or exits and the layout looks like an illegal tenement.

Many times programmers will create fake products to demonstrate the product view layout—and then forget to take them out of the database. They make-up names or use personal names that they will remember to search for later and the pricing is made up, too, usually ridiculously high so they don’t sell any. A programmer…

I’ve tested with four companies (FamilyTreeDNA, NatGeo, AncestryDNA, 23andme), and have my genome data at GedMatch, and no article has scared me yet about privacy. Sorry, it’s just not clicking for me. (ELI5?)
