#12The lack of understanding about possible cancerous effects of nano materials worries me, especially with stuff like this and "nanocosmetic" materials. I'd just hate to find out 20 years down the road that all of our miracle materials were slowly killing us.
Par for the course, as far as modern generations go.

The lack of understanding about possible cancerous effects of wifi worries me, especially with stuff like this and "cellular" phones.
The lack of understanding about possible cancerous effects of CRT screens worries me, especially with stuff like this and "digital" displays.
The lack of understanding about possible cancerous effects of GMO food worries me...
The lack of understanding about possible cancerous effects of inert silicone gel breast implants worries me...
Someone over 30 can fill in earlier examples: "The lack of understanding about possible cancerous effects of $NEW_TECHNOLOGY_I_DONT_UNDERSTAND worries me. I'd just hate to find out 20 years down the road that $NEW_TECHNOLOGY was slowly killing us. "

#14> February 2, 2010 Yep. The year of spray-on liquid glass on the desktop! ( Previously: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1092741 )
Damn, well caught. I normally check the dates but didn't notice this was already a year old. Sorry for the old dupe. Wonder if it's now actually available anywhere. The description of this stuff is almost unbelievable and I wonder if they have found any downsides to it in the past year.
No worries, it's really cool stuff. I haven't heard of any further developments yet.

Oh wait, it is actually pretty nasty stuff. Now, while the "20 years down the road" thing is a bit silly, a lack of understanding about potential adverse effects is a reason to investigate further, not to dismiss anyone who's cautious about it as paranoid.

Yeah, I was just thinking, "what if it gets into my lungs?"
Have no fear, consumer; it's breathable, so there's nothing to worry about.
How about applying a coating to your lungs? Then they can't get dirty from all the glass nanoparticles flying around.

First off, radio waves have been pervasively bombarding us across a wide spectrum for nearly a century.
Radiation and it's effects are well understood and quantified with fields devoted explicitly to the research of it's effects on humans.
Animals have been continuously eating food food that's mutated since animals have been mutating.
People have not been smearing engineered nanoparticles over their face and putting them into their body in these quantities for any appreciable amount of time, except around places like coal mines, heavy industrial areas (especially where exhaust from combustion), asbestos lined buildings, and all sorts of other fun places directly linked with mesothelioma.

#18This seems like the kind of report they'd show as a flashback in a post-apocalyptic film :)
Asbestos was also a great idea once :-)

Haha, what a moron. Human body is the most complex machine in the known universe, optimized to work in a very specific environment. Do you really believe it's impossible to break it with chemicals, radio waves, etc. ??
Or maybe you somehow stupidly think that executives and owners of corporations like Monsanto will put your health and interests above their interests and profits? Or that there is some independent, uncorrupted government agency in your country that will protect you (against millions of "lobbing" $, and pressure from the top)?

Huh? Asbestos has been known to be harmful for a long time.
