@LoganDice That's just sensationalist nonsense. Obviously, even if the gene sequencers were developed by people stupid enough not to have anticipated this, it's a simple software/firmware update to make it impossible.
Essentially, they're simply describing the equivalent of adding a partially quoted SQL command to a form field to mess with a web server's database.
These days, all important web servers escape data in a way that makes this impossible.
Your retort is evasive to the point of being meaningless. If you wish to deny that Amazon operates consensually, explain what you mean, otherwise you just appear dishonest, which I'll admit is a behavior communists find acceptable, since "the end justifies the means" to them.
You can argue that the State violates our consent by imposing corporatism on us coercively. But you're going to be hard-pressed to argue that Amazon per se is coercive.
@bob @pinkprius
You illustrate the problem with communists:
You don't differentiate between consent and coercion. Amazon is an entity that operates consensually. It is not a source of central planning, and not a monopoly.
Central planning imposes economic decisions by force. Amazon competes with many other companies consensually. It is part of the Spontaneous Order that is always superior to central planning in economic outcomes, for all of society.
@bob @pinkprius Bakunin explicitly described the powerful, crypto-capitalist state of Stalinism, and explained how and why that would be the inevitable outcome.
When you gather power together, it not only corrupts, it attracts the most corruptible and sociopathic of society.
He didn't know about the calculation problem, how central planning can NEVER manage resources effectively, will ALWAYS cause austerity, famine, and death.
But he knew rulers are always evil when the state is powerful.

And THAT is how you stay communist...because otherwise the cognitive dissonance would tear you apart.
No, I mean guys like Proudhon and Benjamin Tucker, who opposed capitalism (by which they meant state monopoly of capital, the very thing Communists advocate), which they saw as warring against society. They therefore supported free markets.
Even Bakunin was against the evil of Communism, anticipating Stalinism in his prediction of how it would always, inevitably turn out.
> people who don't want to work,
Again, this is why you "socialists" aren't actually socialists. Socialism originally involved expecting people to be socially responsible. In a free market, that's enforced by the fact that resources are traded for contributing to society.
"Doesn't want to work" means "not contributing to society". Anyone who is that lazy can find a way to provide for himself. he has no right to enslave other for his needs.

> What about children
Parents. Not only that, but people who actually care (unlike you communists), who will consensually provide for children.
> old people,
First, they were once young people, therefore responsible for providing for their old age. Second, again, people who actually care and therefore help voluntarily.
> people who can't work,
99% of adults not working COULD work. Again, people care enough to provide for the rest.
