I know people keep trying (unsuccessfully) to make startups that help you "find friends", but it would be nice if one of these actually took off.

I currently live in an area where I find it somewhat difficult to make new friends, and I'm not entirely sure why that's the case. Generally speaking, the people where I live are more interested in football/beer than technology/startups, but I actually don't think that is the reason for my difficulty — I am good friends with some football fanatics, and there are some technically-minded people who I can't stand. (And I certainly don't mean to imply that there's anything wrong with football and beer — I merely point out that these are not interests of mine!)

Honestly, I can't quite figure out what causes me to mesh well with some people and not others. I get along great with my girlfriend and my sister, and I can talk to them for hours even though neither is interested in science or technology.

And I don't think it's morals/values either — I'm friends with people whose political views are completely opposed to my own.

If someone can figure out what actually causes people to "click" with one another, then I think a startup for making friends might actually be successful.

It would work for carbon fiber, though, and those are the most expensive bikes.

For electric-assist bikes, the GPS tracking could be worthwhile. For other bikes, the complexity of the system seems not worth it. It's probably more cost effective to just insure the bike and not have a small generator, battery, GPS, and wires all over.

For ultralight racing bikes, definitely not, but those are probably a minority even in cycling-friendly cities like Seattle.
Have both of you considered taking with less ego?
>A study published in February in the British Journal of Psychology looked at 15,000 respondents and found that people who had more social interactions with close friends reported being happier—unless they were highly intelligent. People with higher I.Q.s were less content when they spent more time with friends. Psychologists theorize that these folks keep themselves intellectually stimulated without a lot of social interaction, and often have a long-term goal they are pursuing.

Does anyone have a link to this so called study? Funny how in academia you are required to reference everything but when it comes to journalism anything goes.

Well argued rebuttal and counter by John Kirk at Techpinions

https://techpinions.com/apple-shouldnt-cross-that-road-till-...
My grandparents' old house (~100 years old) has two rooms - an entrance/storage with a stove for cooking and a living room.

The living room has the heater - a very interesting contraption, it's basically a stove that heats up the whole wall and a small bed, no smoke/heat is wasted.

Well in -20 degrees winters, water freezes near the windows (single glass) and entrance door. Inside it's about 15 degrees tops, but since you can sit on the heated bed, it's pretty livable (tho not by modern standards I guess).

My grandmother still prefers it over the bigger new house.

My main point is that in a catastrophic scenario, you can definitely do with a lower interior temp, even 10 degrees...

This TED talk https://www.ted.com/talks/robert_waldinger_what_makes_a_good... makes the same point and used data from an 75y study.
Early in the process of embryonic development all sorts of radical restoration of damage takes place, things that couldn't happen in an adult organism without severe disruption. Telomere lengthening via telomerase is just one of them. E.g.:

http://phys.org/news/2011-09-body.html

Early embyros have a lot in common with negligibly senescent lower species like hydra in that they are in a state of always-on regeneration. Repair everything, all the time. That state of being was lost somewhere along the way to organisms that have complex nervous systems made up of long-lived cells and structures that have to record state. An adult human couldn't operate like a hydra and live.

The setup for most species is that adults have small groups of stem cells with telomerase and unlimited self-renewal, but the bulk of tissue is made up of somatic cells without telomerase, or with much less telomerase activity, that have a limited number of divisions before self-destruction or clearance by the immune system. Stem cells produce in a small number of new somatic cells as needed, and are the only tiny set of cells with the unlimited replication privilege. Telomere length is a part of the countdown mechanism that limits divisions in somatic cells - see the Hayflick Limit - because of the end replication problem in that a little of the length is lost with each cell division. This situation is shaped by the existence of cancer. The whole arrangement looks very much like something that came into being to fend off cancer, with ever more checks and balances arising to prevent uncontrolled replication, while still incorporating the mechanisms needed for embryonic growth and later regeneration.

"Never retire." My in-laws are in their mid-70s, but don't act like it at all. They both work numerous "jobs" (they own a farm and do other volunteer and outreach work, and my father-in-law builds ponds and bridges and whatnot for other local farmers).

My father-in-law did have cancer, but is in remission now, and sped right back up to normal pace.

It's obvious to my wife and me, though, that if he ever "retires" he'll likely go down-hill pretty rapidly. The women in my wife's family all live well into their 90s (her grandmother is currently 101) and there's no doubt part of it is their stubborn inability to slow down.

Never retire. Maybe you can afford at 65 to remove the golden handcuffs and take up a different vocation, but don't ever stop working and learning.
It's a timely reminder for anyone getting excited about Ubuntu on Windows that Microsoft had a working system for doing that, only to slowly run it into the ground.

Is anyone aggregating discussions like this today?

NYT has some opinion pieces and shares rebuttals, but I haven't seen long-form opinion aggregators around.
I can believe that the long-term trend is upwards but the demographic reasoning seems like it should apply on the scale of decades not years. It doesn't explain why 2016 would be worse than 2015 or 2014.

This year is likely just an outlier.
For this purpose you could just have the cellular module wake up every x minutes to check to see if it should begin tracking.

Or use BLE and an accelerometer. If your phone isn't in range and the bike is moving then starting tracking.

I haven't done the math but you could probably get away with recharging every 6 months or so.
That look super interesting...just bought it in fact.

However, people die of cancer (especially if untreated...)

So does this mean that without this shortening of the telomeres, the incidence of cancer would be much larger? That the cancers that actually manifest are a small fraction of the potential cancers aborted by this defense mechanism?

That's something I'd like to see as an official feature on HN or reddit. In addition of normal comments on the article you can also add "additional information from a qualified source" (which can be either a qualified user or another article from another reputable journalist).

But I am not sure if that would work. Perhaps it would be fine on HN, but it would be difficult to enforce and moderate on reddit.

Could you provide a bit more information? The information is not really enough to give a properly founded advice. Some examples that show you what I mean:

- Do you depend on the money for e.g. Mortgage and be 100% sure to keep the house?

- Do you hate your job so much you get so depressed you don't get up in the morning or see friends?

- Do you work in a large company where you can change jobs within the company?

- Do you just hate your job because of the boring software tasks you currently have but if you switch want to work for a big company? (All big companies have these tasks sooner or later for a period of time).

- etc.

More information on your current situation and type of company would help or else this becomes a large thread about people who like to take risks vs those who take less (or don't).
The summary [1] is worth reading. Apart from protecting against fallout radiation exposure, the most urgent need is transportation, to deliver food.

<excerpt>

... the location of people as planned with the current program and the location of grain stocks indicates a possibility that millions may perish from food shortages unless food shipments are begun within two or three weeks after the attack.

Sufficient grain to feed the entire population of the U.S. for several months to more than a year, depending on the season, exists in storage in the local areas where it is produced.

When the quantity of grain in storage is less than a year's supply, there is adequate grain growing in the fields, much of which can be harvested with little radiation hazard to agricultural workers if appropriate precautions are taken.

If the attack occurs in June, when crops are on the average most vulnerable to fallout radiation, about one-third to one-half of the annual crop yield could be destroyed. Additional crop failure could occur due to increased ultraviolet radiation resulting from depletion of the ozone layer. ...

Citizens' Band radios will probably survive in numbers adequate for critical civilian communications e In 1973, there were approximately 4 million CB transmitters in the U.S., and this number may double by 1977.

Shipment of food and other crucial supplies wi.11 use primarily trucks and trains, of which at least 60% may be expected to survive because of relocation measures taken during the crisis period. Ships and barges may not be very useful in the first few weeks after the attack because of fallen bridges and destroyed locks and docks, although the vessels themselves may survive because of crisis period action.

Oil pipeline terminals will be damaged or destroyed in crucial locations, and most of the refineries will be destroyed. However, about two billion gallons of diesel and about three billion gallons of gasoline would survive in tank storage outside of the major risk areas, which would be more than adequate for the trains and trucks to carry out survival missions during the first few weeks after the attack.

At least 20 million gallons of aircraft fuel will survive in tanks at lesser airports, which may be available to light aircraft of the Civil Air Patrol. First priorities should be given for reconnaissance of transportation routes, surveying blockages by debris and fallen bridges, and monitoring radiological hazard with aerial survey meters.

Very few large interconnected power plants are expected to be operating in the first few weeks after an attack because of disruption of the transmission grid by blast and fire. It is anticipated that electrical power will not be essential :for basic survival in the first few weeks after the attack and will gradually be restored during the recovery period.

Medicine has a long history of self-experimentation:

I think/hope my start up, Krewe (https://www.gokrewe.com), has found the right formula. I believe the key elements are access and comfort. Krewe places people into a group with five of their peers, making it comfortable to hang out at first. You don't have to single anyone out, it works kind of how things worked in your youth. And everyone lives within a half mile radius, so it's really convenient to meet up often.

As you say, having lots of stuff in common isn't usually the defining factor in what makes people "click." I think most people can get along with pretty much anyone, so long as they spend enough time together. When you're in school, that's built in since you have to show up to class everyday. Krewe makes it possible to hang out with your group everyday since everyone's within walking distance and can get together for a quick beer or whatever.

She put a life (or health) unneccessary at risk, if it is hers or someoneelses does barely matter at that point.

In my view, every person has the right to do whatever they want with their own life as long as they are in full use of their mental faculties, act wilfully and don't harm others. And risking life for a good cause (advancing human knowledge) is admirable. And of course, very different from risking other people's lives...

Indeed- and there's many other, separate defence mechanisms that also quash cancers before they become a problem. If a tumour has grown enough to threaten, it has evolved workarounds to at least several of these.
I am using it right now in production. It's worst trait is that it is not clustered and does not share state about what alerts have been sent already.

I would love to throw more money at Fenix so they can afford to keep developing for their current customer base. (I think I paid $5 for Fenix, and that was far too cheap... I paid $20 for Tweetbot Desktop, and even that feels a bit too cheap considering how often I use it.)

That's probably exactly what the article was talking about- though its very short on details, aside from that the treatment was a form of "gene therapy." But my guess would be that the therapy involved the addition of a gene for this very enzyme (telomerase) in a form that it would become active in adult somatic cells.

Of course whether this would actually meaningfully extend life is uncertain- aging is complicated.
