I think that would be very difficult without a much better understanding of our bodies, so it becomes a chicken/egg problem. Aging isn't really just one thing, it is a constellation of factors that often comingle to make the process even worse. I frequently see Telomere "reset" referenced as the big thing that would win or achieved the most gains in the war on aging, but that seems like it would only be an incremental gain. Here's a good overview on the topic:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712935/

Also consider that long life may not produce the advancements you might hope for. There's a saying: "Science progresses one funeral at a time." It's a reference to the fact that individuals typically hold fast to their ideas-- scientists included. Certainly we may react to & integrate new knowledge, but at some fundamental level we are hindered by the cognitive foundations of knowledge laid down when we're younger that are not automatically escaped on new information. That's not even accounting for pride & ego causing people to cling even more fiercely to their own ideas.

You might think that on ongoing infusion of new talent would prevent this, but massively extended age would also entrench the older generations firmly into the power structures of the scientific community, creating at least a partial gerontocracy. Heck we have a bit of that now: Plenty of PhD candidates get stuck "playing the game" and not bucking the status quo too much, only guided down paths their advisors find acceptable. If you have something that significantly contradicts the current consensus, then without a very good & open minded advisor willing to go to bat for you, you might as well shelve it, do something mundane & acceptable for your dissertation, and dust off that other idea when you're done. This situation would not improve with the further ossification of power structures.

If we got there though-- massively extended lifespans, the gerontocracy aspect of things in society in general would be also be a difficult sociological issue. With a 300 year lifespan, by the time you got to 200 you would probably consider anyone under the age of 50 as little more than children. The issue of wealth inequality would be incredible as generational wealth accumulated by anyone remotely careful with their finances would, by late-middle age, dwarf the resources of anyone starting out.

There could be some interesting & positive aspects to all of that though too. Imagine have half a century to explore intellectually or otherwise before you were expect to settle into a path in life. And if we found societal of medical methods to help people break out of psychological & intellectual inertia then a person might expect to have multiple very different careers in their lifetime.

Anyway, all of that would be a very long ways off. At my age I might still hope that leaps in medical advances could give me an extra 10 years of productive healthy life, but probably not much more. And I've also gone a long ways off the original topic, so I'll end it here.
Nit: it is possible to build a private LTE/5G network if you use appropriate spectrum reserved for that purpose:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole beginning of the article implies that the skateboarder is "regular" in terms of foot placement, meaning the right foot is on the tail and the left foot is at the front.

The fact that each skater can reverse their stance (aka switchstance), doesn't that double the possible number of flip tricks?
> numerous videos of people playing cards or moving to the back seat while Autopilot is engaged—which Tesla warns against, but does not block

Would it make sense for Tesla to turn off self driving for idiots who are posting these videos to social media? I’m sure they can easily correlate the posters to drivers in an automated way just based on the time and location of videos posted, since they know every trip and mile driven by all their drivers.
I think we should have a clear separation between hardware and software companies. This is how it worked in the old days when the internet was built. Hardware companies are getting too much power over our data, and we need more freedom of choice in how our data is treated and by whom, regardless of the hardware that we own. A company can be "good" one day and "bad" the next day. We shouldn't be forced to throw away any hardware when that happens.

Does that mean concessions on how well everything is integrated (in the view of the company and some people)? Probably, but that is of minor concern imho.

Even keeping things separate, it can be nice to pull in your dotfiles, so if you consistently organize your computers in the same way, like with work stuff in ~/work or whatever, you can keep a checked in global git config that “just works” when you spin up a work box.

> The word "ownership" is in part defined by the ability to exert control.

If we were to upgrade the saying "possession is 99% of ownership" to the digital ream, it would be something like "control is 99% of ownership." The distinction between possession and control is only relevant for smart devices.
A billion dollars today and a billion 10 years ago are not the same thing. It's not just a question of inflation either; there is more money sloshing around in VC (or similar non-retail funding sources) than ever.
Your question will not be answered, because it does not make sense.

In a democracy, a majority can not vote on the rights of a minority. There is a constitution, a bill of rights. But to get there _people have to chose democracy_ over authoritarianism. As long as they don't do that by themselves, we only have the options to show them by example why they should want it, or to force them to want it.

Wherever we tried to force it, it recoiled.
This exact issue years ago made me think less of (and stop using) Signal rather than F-Droid. You're better off with XMPP or Matrix, plus an ordinary SMS app.

Well I hope you're right. Whilst the TMT is still trying to build on Mauna Kea, I don't think there is any chance that will happen. If they also can't build on La Palma, the whole project is in deep, deep trouble.
The author did not think through their argument very well. Mathematics is non-scientific (science requires maths!) and epistemic, so the existence of people who use science and maths for their epistemology is a counterexample to their entire framing.

That is apples and oranges.

I’m not using an EBITDA/MV equation on my personal valuation, nor am I using FCF for any credit calculation.

Credit calculations are based on the most reliable data points that correlate with outcomes I care about.

Frankly, new tech is helping credit calculations - people are using phone call data to find what correlates with credit worthiness. I believe this is already in production around the world.

Whether the term “credit scores” is used or not, there will always be some mechanistic way to value risk. It will also use whatever data we have lying around to do so.

If we have no data, then it goes back to the good old days of the boys club, which is even more restricting Thant today.
Curious, which ThinkPad was this? I got a T14s with AMD last year and it is one of best laptops I've used till date, and works with Linux out of the box, incl graphics, networking, USB-C docks etc.
Yes it's a shame that Signal is not on F-Droid, but there's a self updating apk available[1] for side-loading which doesn't use Google Push Notifications if not available and as for why it's not there on F-Droid here's their official response[1], Which IMO makes some reasonable (against forks using their servers) and unreasonable (against normalizing side-loading) justifications.

I think you have some large misconceptions about these things. sizeof(float) is going to return 4 for 4 bytes on any common computer these days. There is no "64-bit memory word" anywhere to be found, whatever that means. Nothing in either of your comments here is true or makes sense.

Early farming practices were associated with increases in topsoil while current mechanized farming practices are associated with decreases in topsoil. Which practices do you think are more likely to serve mankind well over long periods?
I would add more obfuscation and slowly make it impossible to learn. Have the emacs veterans talk about the old days slowly making it seem like all you had to do was install emacs and you were so productive that emacs wrote the programs for you! Then eventually the word emacs turns into an adjective describing the perfect program. To the point that instead of "Turing complete" we say "Emacs complete" then years in the future someone will ask "WTF is emacs?" and they will simply say it's god.

> Why then do we not take income into account in credit worthiness?

Income is definitely considered in large loans. You’re not going to get a mortgage or a car loan on your credit score alone.

Credit firms also collect a lot of payroll data, but it’s kept separate from what you know as your credit score because they inherently can’t have payroll data for everyone that also has credit history data. The scores must be kept separate as a result.

Here’s just one example of credit worthiness companies expanding their payroll data collection: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/07/intuit-to-share-payroll-...

This is useful anyway. On both my work and personal machines, I have two directories: `~/projects/{work,personal}`. On my work laptop, I keep my dotfiles in `~/projects/personal/dotfiles`, and everything work-related (including my work dotfiles repo) goes in the other directory. It means I can keep the same set of configuration on my work and personal devices without a tonne of faffing around.

> Isn't it quite common for open source hardware drivers to have an effective bus factor of one? (as in, yes it's open source but only one dev has the deep familiarity with the topic required for fast updates)

It's usually common for one person to be motivated enough to do the work, so they are the ones most knowledgeable yeah. But the code is out there, it doesn't stop anyone else from looking at it/understanding it just as well. From the looks of piper, it looks like several folks understood it enough to add drivers of their own.

I will list some problems / challenges Europe has:

- different languages: even with simple SaaS you might need to do a demo.

- different cultures: marketing in Spain is different than in Germany, different in Poland, etc. so market is very fragmented. Even Germany is much more diverse than people think (the joke is: Balkan starts just north of Munich)

- much more complex laws

- recruitment is harder: candidates are much more conservative.

- cultural similarities: entrepreneurs are considered as a failure

It is just harder. Not impossible but harder.
It is impossible for correct authoritarian regimes to exist because people die. Even the most benevolent authoritarian regime cannot build the sorts of institutions required for their continued goodness after their current ruler dies.

This is one of the reasons why democracies work out more often: because leadership changes happen more often, they act as a forcing function to build better institutions. Of course democracies have real failure modes too.

> It means that no one wants to take responsibility for any side effects. And it obviously creates mistrust.

Ok, but noone ever took responsibility on anything, except what's in the law. I mean, I've never witnessed anything like that.

Did Bush took responsibility when going to Afghanistan? Did Obama took responsibility when enacting ObamaCare? Did Trump took responsibility when embargoing Huawei? Did Raoult took responsibility when recommending Hydroxychloroquine?

I can go on. But really, if you want someone to take responsibility for something beyond laws and contracts (which implies compensation, a contract can't be one-sided. What you suggest would be one-sided), I think you're not in the right universe altogether.
Steve Jobs was a terrible person who treated people horribly. Are you willing to give up your iPhone for that? Google has invaded our privacy and sold our data to the highest bidder. Will you give your Android phone? No, of course you won't, because you live in a capitalist system.

In a capitalist society it is easy to separate because you can choose to support the person, the product, or neither. In a communist system you have no choice, you must support the system, the people, and the product - which is inseparable from the government - or else. By "else" I mean imprisonment and death.

I would prefer to live under a capitalist system because then at least I have the option to choose to support the maker, the product, or neither.

Using total number of mentions as a way to predict future tech trends seems dubious at best. I understand coming up with a better metric would be difficult, but this one seems useless.

And so if there was a famine, your energy would be similarly directed not at solving the problem, but policing what the famous people doing the awareness raising are eating?

I still don't understand how that's anything but detrimental to the goal that we are supposed to care about.

It only makes sense to me if you want the people to starve, or want to pretend the starvation isn't happening. What other goal does calling the famine relief organisers hypocrites achieve?

Like how much caviar could one organizer be eating that you think, if only I stop this person who is talking about famine that other people are pretending isn't happening, from eating that caviar, and get them to eat steak instead (but not a fancy steak) then we'd have this famine under control. But if they don't, well I guess we'll just have to let other, totally unconnected people die. Is this really a moral position to take? We do agree that the famine is a real thing that's happening, don't we?
