I don't understand why whenever there is a discussion about aging research, people always bring out the problem of us living forever or till the end of the universe. I mean how about just double or triple our lifespan which is nothing wrong and we still have no idea how to do that. I think maybe the reason why so many people is against it is because of religion.
This is why the people that regulate things often come from industry. You’ll see a lot of (not entirely misguided) complaining about the fact that the people that regulate finance, for example, often come from a major bank like Goldman Sachs. While this can lead to questionable rules in some cases that “favor the banks” at least someone that understands the industry is regulating the industry.

I’d rather that than have some idiot who knows nothing write the rules and screw everything up.

The article gives a plethora of examples which show history podcasts deliberately and seriously mistelling history in favor of intrigue. There are many more that the article does not mention.

Please, let’s not cherry-pick phrases to present an unbalanced view of the article.
Came here to write this, but @mywittyname did it better.

Young colleagues have tendency to use framework/technology as a solution to a problem, while it's always an instrument to reach a goal.

Older colleagues can assess solution for multiple point of views - security, long term manageability, integrability, support, etc. Younger colleagues are focused mostly on narrow field due to lack of experience.

Obviously it's generalisation so take it with a grin of salt.

Yes it's somewhat subjective, but other languages for the use case usually contain a lot more abstractions. They're more complex languages but they might enable less complex solutions to the problem at hand.

> IMX, you're more concerned with type safety, and C is not fully type safe like, say, Java is.

I'm concerned with finding errors, preferably at compile time. There have been very few times being fully type safe runtime like the jvm have done much for me compared to the java compiler. If I wanted more down that road then rust or ada would probably be better.
There is an article from Professer Sut Jhally, Ph.D. where he writes about Advertising at the Edge of the Apocalypse.

[1] http://www.sutjhally.com/articles/advertisingattheed/

All this surveillance stuff is just another tool for advertisers with utter disregard for the consequences.

He can say that. Yet when you as a commoner even dare to, you are being stared at as if you were a mad cow, or worse COMMIE!

That doesn't seem right. There are a lot of mom & pop and SMBs offering legit accommodation, aside from those two ends of the spectrum
I would think, that if, living forever in perfect health was as easy taking a shot, a pill, or even drinking from the public water supply ( we might get very creative when distributing the aging cure ), society would probably view dying of natural causes as killing yourself.
OK, granted. But I'm the dude using it. And when asked, I'll champion anything else. Sometimes making engineers happy makes a sale.
Is there any real evidence that short-term rentals decrease the value of a neighborhood? On the flip-side, people on vacation tend to patronize restaurants, cafes, shops, museums, music venues, theaters, and sporting events at much higher rates than day-to-day residents.

Even disregarding the economic benefits and jobs that creates, they're subsidizing a ton of cultural amenities for the local residents. It's pretty hard for me to believe that move visitors are a bad thing. I've certainly never heard of a city spending marketing dollars to get fewer tourists. ("Stay away from Nashville, it sucks here!")
I think the question is more, "What do you not hear? What puts you in the flow fastest?"

My roommate used to play Jack Johnston, The White Stripes, and Muse, and these felt terrible for my concentration.
Find route can probably be made way more efficient by using meet in the middle technique.

Instead of finding all 6 hops from start and checking if it's the end find 3 hops from start, 3 hops from end and just intersect two sets.
Can you give size difference between both?
Double or triple would be fine. I am not religious. The person that I am responding to explicitly said he wanted for life to extend to the end of the universe, so that’s why I am responding with my thoughts about exactly that.
Sorry for the late reply, I agree with the others.

If this truly was an environmental initiative, Sonos would rather take a proof of receipt of you giving your previous speaker to an e-waste recycler or even giving away to some place like Goodwill where it'll get reused.

They could just make sure that you were nice and gave away your device for free and/or charity purposes, instead of bricking it forever.
The arms race was the main driver of progress in the 20th century, with countless civilian applications, including the Internet. We could use a good old fashioned arms race nowadays. It creates demand for top notch science and engineering like nothing else.

And you could argue this benefits humanity, too, even besides the technology transfer. There hasn't been a world war since 1945, and the only real reason for that is that it would end really badly for everyone involved.

When my grandmother died, she sent her husband out to the store, took off her rings (which she never removed), and was dead when he returned.

She had been in failing health, was around 90 years old, had recently gone through a rough fight with cancer, a broken leg from a fall, and had just been in a nursing home temporarily. She fought with everyone to be allowed to go home and die, she didn't want to die in the nursing home. She went home and died a few days later.

She very clearly knew.

> That's why we should always be asking our elected officials, why continue the madness?

Allowing one's arsenal to slowly become obsolete is akin to disarmament, and unilateral disarmament isn't wise if one values their independence.

Similar weapons are being deployed by the US's military rivals:

This particular madness will continue until all major powers come to some measure of political unity. A helpful first step would be for all of them to have elected officials.

There's a tale for that - soldier and Death. Even had a storyteller episode.
I think some people are born with heart defects that can result in sudden cardiac death as a young adult. Also strokes. In half a century I doesn't know of any friends or friends that had that happen. But then again I know of three people that died when the car they were working on fell off the jack.
Used to intern at Epic in 2015. I asked my manager why they weren't on cloud. He said our customer data is too critical to be stored in cloud. Interesting how things have change in a very short time
I wrote my own Lisp. The virtual machine, which is a stack machine, is written in C. The interpreter, which runs until the system compiles itself, is written in C, but makes heavy use of C macros. The rest of the code, including the compiler, is in Lisp.

Code in the interpreter is directly converted to byte code, e.g. the macro Car generates the virtual machine instruction Car, rather than executing the code for car. The alternative would have been to generate byte code by hand, would have been error-prone. Here's the code for cons and let:

Define("cons", 2)
Local1 Local2 Cons Ret
Termin

DefineF("let")
Local1 Car
Local2 /* initialize new env */
Prog(1)
Ret

Params(2)
Until Local1 Null Do
Local1 Caar /* var */
Local1 Cadar Free12 Call("eval") /* val in old env */
Local2 /* env */
ACons
SetLocal2 Pop /* update new env */
PopLocal1
Od
Free11 Cdr Local2 Call("progn") /* use new env */
Ret
Termin

It is actually C, with heavy use of macros. But it can be read as Reverse Polish Lisp. It can also be thought of as a Lispy Forth.

> IIRC, the main problem was UI/UX

Best container UX I've had so far was with `lxd`, which is Ubuntu's `lxc` container manager (which is why the GP was asking about). I found it more pleasant to work with than Docker, particularly early Docker.
Expressions and functions for example. Assembler is really low level, it doesn't even have control structures. But C# seem to have everything JavaScript has and much more, so I just wondered why the parent post found JavaScript more expressive.
Last year med student here, sudden cardiac arrest commonly occur in young people. Apart from infectious myocarditis which you might notice as fatigue and reduced performance after you’ve suffered a respiratory infection, hypertrophic myocardiopathy and especially hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is often hereditary and can be mortal without showing prior symptoms. That’s why after a patient’s death you usually examine their broader family if HOCM was the cause as it can be detected via ultrasound and treated pharmacologically or interventionally (injecting alcohol in the obstructive parts or implanting a defibrillator).
It felt good to me (and I think to her, too) when nurses called my partner "mom" after pregnancy. It was like when a sergeant performs some heroic deed in a book and the general suddenly calls them colonel: a hard-earned title (it took a lot of pain to finally earn it, and some fears of miscarriage before that...) to wear with pride.

They are very personal and emotional moments so I can totally see how it can rub different people different ways, though.
First video shows he touched a few things. Perhaps fingerprints off those? Those clothes would mark that guy depending on locale. Perhaps other cameras saw him as well?

Also, now you know your camera isn’t doing the best, add other camera(s) where it would have helped. Eg to capture face-on angle as you approach door. Consider upping the resolution of the cameras you add.

On a more general note, rethink about how this guy found your place as a suitable target. Mitigate what you can. He knew he had plenty of time. And he seemed quite comfortable being there.

“Director-level IT” healthcare person here. We use AWS but are evaluating Azure because of the way Microsoft includes VDI in the form of Windows 10 Multi-Session licenses available only with Azure+Windows Virtual Desktop. Classic Microsoft bundle approach.

Oh, and Slack is available with HIPAA compliance — https://slack.com/help/articles/360020685594-slack-and-hipaa

Also, as someone who actively shops for SaaS offerings for healthcare users, I can say that AWS and Azure are some of the very, very few organizations who offer anything with HIPAA compliance that isn’t locked away at the most expensive “contact us for pricing” tier. It’s so annoying. Never a chance to try a service with a low cost/stakes pilot/prototype because they hit you with the full sales pitch and highest price points. Being able to dip our proverbial toe into AWS with a low time/dollar commitment was a huge win.
2011 Nissan Juke with five year/50,000 mile warranty. Bought in 2012, only one owner.
In good condition with roughly 45,000 miles in December of 2019, Kelley Blue Book resale value of about $7,000.00 USD.

Timing chain breaks. Out of warranty. Cost from dealer is estimated at $10,000 for a complete engine replacement, plus turbos. No joke.

Takes the vehicle down to net negative value, which can only be declared a complete loss and sold for parts.

NB: Cost estimate from reputable third parties is $7,000-8,000, not a full replacement but only a partial rebuild. Doesn’t materially change the result.
I'm not sure the exact point of the grand parent post -- but for a multi-unit building with the units titled as condos (which would usually have an owner's association) the rules for getting conventional financing in the US (I'm spacing on what those are called) dictate a certain percentage of the units must be owner occupied, lest the loans are not re-sellable in the secondary mortgage markets.

Condo HOAs will thus sometimes try to pass rules or amend bylaws to establish rental restrictions of various sorts -- most commonly setting a minimum lease term, but sometimes trying to set percentages of units that must be owner occupied, limiting the numbers of units that can be owned by a single owner, or establishing a time frame a unit must be owner occupied before it can be rented.

My understanding is that most of the new apartment buildings they are building around me in Oakland and trying to rent out are "pre-converted" or already titled as condos -- but as the investors are renting them out generally there is no HOA to speak of as there is one owner. But, should market conditions change, common areas and separate titles are already established so less paperwork would be required to sell off the units.

When trying to get into flow, I prefer fast paced music, with a lot of rapid beats. Metal is a natural pick, but even things like K-Pop works.

When in flow, I want things that maintain the same beat. I'll often play the same song in loop. Lately I've been looping Dance Monkey/Toss a Coin to Your Witcher for hours. Basically it's the songs that go 1234 1234 1234 123 123 123 1234 1234 1234.

I don't mind people legally changing their names, but I don't believe it induces an obligation on other citizens.

Just as the author of "Animal Farm" is not obliged to state clearly and exactly the legal names of the people his characters represent, and we all know who they represent.

Would you have a similar objection if the root comment factually referred to "The woman previously called Miss Schwinghamer"? or would that factual reference still not be good enough for you?
All of these problems are solved by transcending flesh and blood. Why wouldn't a brain-emulation want to live forever, with just as much zest for life and learning after a billion years as today; and what's stopping us from eventually hosting a googolplex such ems (= plenty of room for raising kids) on "only" the computational substrate of a single Sol-powered matrioshka brain?
The entire article looks like an attempt to package common sense in a pseudo-scientific way.

I don't think this is true. Per Wikipedia[1]:

> The phrase was first used in sociology by Morton Grodzins when he adopted the phrase from physics where it referred to the adding a small amount of weight to a balanced object until the additional weight caused the object to suddenly and completely topple, or tip. Grodzins studied integrating American neighborhoods in the early 1960s. He discovered that most of the white families remained in the neighborhood as long as the comparative number of black families remained very small. But, at a certain point, when "one too many" black families arrived, the remaining white families would move out en masse in a process known as white flight. He called that moment the "tipping point". The idea was expanded and built upon by Nobel Prize-winner Thomas Schelling in 1972.

As one would guess from the common usage of the phrase, as well as the physical analogy itself, a tipping point is indeed a threshold that causes an acceleration (sometimes described as the specific case of a binary flip).

People like the above commenter likes to ban flights, because they themselves are unlikely to _need_ flights very often, and so proportionally pay a less price for such a ban (and the positive effects are shared equally across the globe).

Let's see if they propose the same argument if the banning was for driving, or some other form of carbon emission that affects them a lot more (like food, or heating).
There's a very famous series of books by Isaac Asimov that deals with this problem - The Robots. Basically once humans are able to increase their life span, they become reluctant to take any risks and the become stuck in their own "immortality". It's no different than what the GP says. Weather it's until the end of the universe or just a few hundred years, we still become more risk adverse and less capable of change.
Yeah slack has some very shady SLA practices. I don’t think we can trust companies to self report uptimes.

1. I think its perfectly fine that if you choose to extend your life you also choose to undergo sterilisation. If the state offers this facility, it might put some additional conditions on it - terms of military/community service. There will also be some heavy taxes paid on your wealth and/or a reduced rate of interest.

2. Living till the end of the universe would mean reconstructing your body/brain millions of times. I don't truly see any way around that. There can be 'gaps' of thousands of years between such reconstruction depending on the current resources of human civilisation.

3. It's perfectly acceptable to have both old and new humans in the mix. Natural selection isn't the only factor driving evolution and besides by your logic everyone suffering from medical conditions should be allowed to perish so that only 'fitter' humans reign.

4. The wonder of knowing what human civilisation is like thousands or millions of years from now. Learning hundreds of professions - each to mastery and the limit of human knowledge. An unbroken chain of human history. The ability to gain advice from your ancestors and lend advice to your descendants.

5. Yes, life extension should be a choice. By law, no one should force this on anyone. But again, no one should be forced against it either.

How old are your kids? I’m not a parent so I have a different perspective but I wonder, what kind of stuff could actually be done on such a device? Web browsing restrictions mean you can’t actually browse the web in a meaningful way because most links lead to non-whitelisted websites. Time limits mean there’s barely any time to do anything (and you’d end up running into the limit at the worst possible time).
Haven't read the paper, but persistence and energy (and therefore transition time) to write, i.e. change a physical state, if not read, seem like a pretty fundamental tradeoff pair that can't be broken.

The worst offender they mention, Crime Junkie, in the article is a weekly podcast. Looking at the last few episodes they are all 40 - 60 minutes. It appears to be a small (just 2 people?) team.

Of course there's going to be zero fact checking with a lean crew cranking out that much content so fast. I tend to cull those types of podcasts from my feed because they devolve into some combination of 1) people reading wikipedia to you and 2) talk radio style low quality babbble. I've never listened to Crime Junkie but the article's claims of plagiarizing other online articles and reddit posts suggest it's pretty low quality stuff.

Unfortunately podcasts that without an alternate source of incoming like a non-profit have to chase the iTunes charts algorithm to get advertising dollars like most YouTubers and YouTube's algorithm. This means consistent quantity prevails over quality. To advertisers a download of an episode where you spend weeks interviewing primary sources counts just as much as two people summarizing online articles. Fortunately since podcasts are distributed via RSS feed there's room for everybody's preferences out there, but the good ones might be incrementally harder to find.

Just beware when you see these premium podcast ecosystems like Stitcher come in who want you to ditch the RSS feed and pay for your podcasts solely through the app you use to access them. The podcast world they have in mind looks more like Crime Junkie and a lot less like This Is Criminal or BackStory.
> I understand the separation between physics. But most structural analysis methods are discovered by professors of structural engineering and not physicists(and much of it is empirical).

You're confusing the occupation with the role. Just because your job title is professor of structural engineering it doesn't mean that you are not studying "matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force."
