On the very good side, this will lower the cost and lead times for new drugs.
On the bad side, nation-states, terrorists, and even just Evil Agents Of Chaos[TM] who have access to tools like this and the knowledge to (ab)use them will be able to unleash biological chaos on the world.
Imagine if someone created a virus that infected everyone, spread rapidly, but was asymptomatic or had only common-cold-like-symptoms on everyone but their intended target, but it killed their target. The target could be an individual, a family that uniquely shared a mutation, or an entire ethnic group where the mutation was common in that ethnic group but rare outside of it.
Even worse, once unleashed, the virus will likely mutate and people or groups that are not the intended target may die, including the people who unleashed it.
I fear this is what is in our future.
The underlying filesystem has supported larger partitions all along. It's just the Windows UI tools didn't expose this.
... instead of doing 300 unrelated experiments, do 30 experiments and independently replicate each one 10 times.
At least then you'll know if you've got 30 repeatable experiments, 0 repeatable experiments, or something in the middle.
