How to help make humans immortal?
Today, there is a lot of research trying to prolong life (curing cancer, transplanting organs, etc.).

I want to work on something that will make a person immortal. The most obvious approach would be recreating the mind (way of thinking and speaking) digitally, in a bot that could interact with other people as if it were the original human. Upon research I've found 2 startups with this goal [1], that have now seemingly disappeared.

A problem I've found is that, in conversation, we often recount our experiences (e.g. we talk about how our day went). Since the bot does nothing but respond to questions, he would have no experiences to talk about. As a solution, the bot could also have an AI agent component, for example he could watch youtube videos and play StarCraft2 against other people, and he would recount his digital experiences (much of what I talk about with my friends are digital experiences like these, that could be simulated by a bot).

My question is: what should I work on to achieve this goal? Behavior learning and language understanding are things already being developed, so maybe the most challenging part would be tuning the bot to resemble a person.

While writing this I am realizing: YouTube and facebook already do this to an extent. After you die, YouTube will still know the type of videos you like and suggest them. So if you liked political videos, this 'immortal' bot could text your friend discussing the new policy Trump implemented, as if it were you.

The general point being nobody wants a passenger plane with the A380 or 747's capacity anymore. Small, efficient, long-distance planes like the 787, A350 and C-Series are rendering the larger format obsolete.

Both Boeing and Airbus have defence contracting arms, that doesn't mean all of their platforms have defence purposes.

It's pretty clear—Canada. That said, there's a significant change: sales, and post-sales work, will mostly be handled by Airbus, who already have much more contact with many more airlines and leasing companies than Bombardier.
You mix up the := operator with the = operator? (-:

There's no chance of mixing them up with the "test" command, note, which is what ajkjk was talking about (even though xe erroneously attributed this to the Bourne Again shell language), because the test command has no assignment operator. Whereas what it does have is a whole bunch of syntactic gotchas that bite people with depressing regularity.

* Miss quoting variables, and suddenly your unary operator turns into an expression that always evaluates true, because with 1 argument test merely tests whether the argument is non-blank, which a unary operator is of course.

* = is string comparison, and -eq is numeric comparison. Yes, you want the other one.

* ... but == is a non-standard bashism that does not work in scripts interpreted by /bin/sh (which is usually something like the Korn or Almquist shell) on many modern systems.

* ... and if you are using the Z, Korn, or Bourne Again shells, don't forget that you need to quote the < and > operators.

* Beware the variable whose value has a minus sign as its first character. All comparisons for safety need to be of the form x"$var" = x"something" .

In Common Lisp, ELT is generic over sequences, so it also works on arrays. CL also has a function actually called NTH which is specific to lists; NTH was also in Maclisp, Lisp Machine Lisp, etc with the same meaning (Interlisp had an NTH function but it's what Common Lisp calls NTHCDR (except that Interlisp NTH used 1-based indexing whereas CL NTHCDR uses 0-based)). Emacs Lisp uses the same nth/elt distinction as Common Lisp. Islisp has elt which is generic over sequences, but I believe that it discarded nth.

Segwit2x is a compromise deal that had two parts: Segregated Witness, which allows future efficiency extensions such as the Lightning network; and 2x which doubles the block size. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/bitcoin-compromi... Miners signaled their agreement ahead of time, and the Segwit part worked. But since that took some pressure off, and Bitcoin Cash forked with 8x which attracted those people who wanted larger blocks, consensus fell apart before 2x was activated. In addition, there were multiple code bugs that would have kept 2x from working anyway.

Assuming the bugs got fixed this time around, success of the fork depends only on getting a critical mass of miners on board.

> Following the 2016 election, a specific concern has been the effect of false stories—“fake news,” as it has been dubbed—circulated on social media. Recent evidence shows that: 1) 62 percent of US adults get news on social media (Gottfried and Shearer 2016); 2) the most popular fake news stories were more widely shared on Facebook than the most popular mainstream news stories (Silverman 2016); 3) many people who see fake news stories report that they believe them (Silverman and Singer-Vine 2016); and 4) the most discussed fake news stories tended to favor Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton (Silverman 2016). Putting these facts together, a number of commentators have suggested that Donald Trump would not have been elected president were it not for the influence of fake news (for examples, see Parkinson 2016; Read 2016; Dewey 2016).

.. just to piggy back on this and add a "why": the smaller long range planes are allowing airlines to connect smaller cities with direct flights while still making money. This is easier for customers, and is insanely popular.

An example here is British Airways' service from New Orleans to London. Obviously, some amount of people have always wanted to get from New Orleans to London, but previously they've been flying though Dallas/Atlanta/New York, etc. The 787 allows BA to offer a much better product to those customers, and the size/cost to operate a 787 is what makes the flight commercially viable. When the sky is full of airplanes operating flights like that, there's no one group of people in one place to fill up a jumbo.

I think you confused a few points. You mention both men getting apartments so they can form families with their already existing relationships and men who don't have relationships turning to online resources to try to understand how to have them. These seem distinct phenomena. Especially since in many other cultures newly wed couples would live with one set of parents in a multi-generational household. This means while it would go contrary to current social expectations and there would be some stress from doing such, not having an independent home for a relationship should be considered separate from not having a relationship. The latter is what mimics polygamous societies, and if the theory about the disability they cause those societies is true, should give us cause for concern in our own.

That there is a correlation between the availability of housing and effects you mention might be driven by a third hidden factor.

> Yeah my understanding is that the 747 was a success because it could cross the major oceans in a single go, something smaller twin engines could not do at the time.

Technically they could but regulations didn't allow it at the time: 1953 FAA regulations required that twin-engined aircrafts always be within 60mn of an airport, and ICAO had slightly less restrictive limits of 90mn. This meant some routes were entirely unfeasible, or the flight path required to keep within 60~90mn of an airport at all time made it uneconomically unfeasible.

3- and 4-engined aircrafts were not affected by these rules (starting in '64 for the 3-engined ones).

The rules started being relaxed in the mid-80s with the introduction of ETOPS ratings (initially 120 and 180, now up to 370).

Strongly disagree. Why does actively being involved in BDS matter?

No, it's not merely relative. I mean we can martial more resources to do as we please. Just like most people (in developed countries at least) can drive around 50-60mph in a vehicle (a car in 1st world or a scooter in developing countries) but 200, 300 years ago they couldn't. We've become richer.

It's like this: when public transit advocates ask why move a ton of metal around per person when literally stuffing them in a train is more efficient, the reason is because we're (in the US) rich enough to not have to pick the most "efficient" solution to every problem. Otherwise we'd be drinking generic Soylent and sleeping in pods instead of eating lush, delicious food and sleeping in houses.

The whole world is going to get there, and you're not going to convince more than a handful of people to voluntarily live like a drone when they don't have to. So we better figure out how to live these non-efficient lifestyles more sustainably.

(EDIT: Yes, I do think that if public transit offers a /better/ service, it has a future. But if it's significantly worse than what people already have, then good luck convincing people to use it.)

However the efficiency allows long, thin routes. Essentially the 787 and now the newer 777 allow more agile routing over longer distances which opens up airlines to greater routing efficiencies that aren’t as dependent on super-hub airports. There are over 600 787 routes, of which 368 are long haul and 90 are completely new routes. For example, ANA flies Tokyo to San Jose and BA flies London San Jose, those I think the BA version runs the new 777s now.

My point is that passenger capacity isn’t such an important metric when comparing the ‘47 and the ‘87. And the A380 is an airplane built for last century’s model of air travel.
