Policy Against Xbox Products Has Been Lifted
In 2015, a new policy was released via this thread outlining the prohibition against the sale of Xbox products such as consoles, live codes, and gift cards. This new policy also brought the closure of the Xbox Live Membership Codes forum. However, in a turn of events this past Wednesday, Omniscient made a comment on the thread stating that Hack Forums is easing up on the policy due to gift cards now being allowed.

Genetic Surgery Performed on Embryo to Remove Life Threatening Disease
Researchers at the Sun Yat-sen University in China have successfully performed DNA editing surgery on an embryo. They were able to alter a single "letter" out of millions contained within the genetic code to remove the genetic disease beta-thalassemia. Base editing of DNA changes one of the four building blocks: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine which are commonly represented as their first letters. According to the team "We are the first to demonstrate the feasibility of curing genetic disease in human embryos by base editor system." They are hoping this procedure will bring treatment to many terrible genetic diseases. >>Source

Life-Preserving Color-Changing Tattoos may Soon be a Reality
This one goes out to the ink heads out there, your art can now serve a possibly life saving function. Two postdoctoral fellows, led by Katia Vega, were looking to create the next generation of wearable technology. They were looking for a way to usher in a new generation of wearable technology, with the current generation being unable to integrate with the body and relatively short battery life seamlessly.. They were all surprised where their research took them. Their dermal abyss tattoo ink changes color based on the composition of certain fluids within the body. Most notably they can be used to measure glucose levels, greatly helping those living with diabetes. They also have temporary and permanent versions of the tattoos for those of you afraid of commitment. Lastly, the team is now working on completing work on an app to interpret the coloring of the ink more accurately. >>Source

Gamers may Have a leg up in the Classroom
At the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, neuropsychologists set gamers and non-gamers against each other in a little learning competition. Those participating in the study were shown a random combination of cue cards with symbols on them. Subjects were then asked to predict if it is going to rain or be sunny out depending on the cards. Immediately after answering, they were told if their predictions were or weren't correct and given feedback. Sooner or later they all began learning how to correctly predict the weather based on the symbols. However, the gamers were able to grasp the concept faster in almost all cases, leading the team to their conclusion. I'm not sure how much faith I put in something like this myself, but it is still an interesting read nonetheless. >>Source

Catalonia Wins Blood-Soaked Right to Statehood

There is an even chilling video of riot police ripping a woman out of a station embedded in the source article, her blood littering the white tile. In the end, however, it was all for naught. The final count of those that managed to vote was 90% being for independence. >>Source
