In the continuation of an “enthusiastic” MacVoices Live! discussion, Chuck Joiner, Web Bixby, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jeff Gamet, Ben Roethig, Eric Bolden, Jim Rea, and Guy Serle debate the impact of the 23andMe hack and whether having your genetic information exposed is a significant privacy threat. The potential risks of hackers accessing your data, insurance companies exploiting it, and the legal and social implications are discussed. Additionally, we mention science fiction movies as precedent, as well as the CEO of Goldman Sachs and the art of DJing. (Part 3)
