Why?

The presence of telomerase prevents telomere shortening in cancer cells and gives the ability to divide an unlimited number of times in a laboratory cell culture plate.

But the aging process is not reversed, so a multicellular complex organism would eventually die.
Similar thought here. I don't know if it was the era or being relatively poor, but the big change in my life was giftgiving. You used to get a book or sweater or doodad and be wowed and thankful. As an adult it seems everyone has Amazon and everything they want, so what's to do but trade boring gift cards we don't need. How exciting.

I will say one thing I noticed and dislike about myself is how impatient and 'privileged' I've become. I mean, we used to order from Sears or Penney's catalogues as a kid and that stuff took weeks to arrive, and we were thrilled. Today it's all instant gratification. Amazon is a day late and we(I) act perturbed.

Part of the "brain cleaning" they are talking about is the clearing of amyloid plaques, which occurs during Slow-Wave Oscillations (SWOs) during N3/N4 sleep.

The roadmap I described above actually does get to that level if we assume a 3X hardware and bandwidth improvement over that period.

That's OK. EVs don't have to satisfy every edge case from day one. There are plenty of cities they can serve in less-than-freezing climate. This problem for now is solvable by brute-force by maintaining battery temperature, and this seems to work well enough for Norway.

Perhaps long routes in freezing temperatures will be a niche where hydrogen fuel cells turn out to be useful, or maybe just incremental improvements of existing battery tech and management will suffice.

Just had a forgotten, wonderful feeling seeing some of the old Apple ads linked in the article.

I still remember this (currently weird) sense of hopefulness and progress when seeing late 80s to 90’s Apple ads. Yes, I understand it was marketing, but as the kid/teen I was at the time, it spoke to me and helped to shape my outlook even today.

Even just seeing that first ad screenshot of the hand over the keyboard with that particular lighting that was used made me nostalgic.
But then how would they get the punishment?
Frankly, I don't think this is particularly significant. If you go to Google.com in IE11, you will still be able to search the web, and I'm quite sure that's all that 99.9% of users actually care about.

(Fun fact: Google search also works in OS9!)
They are accurate to the tower which is far too accurate for comfort.
Pffffft, the popups are really bogus—in twenty, or more likely ten years nobody will need them. There will be a standard protocol for the ISP to present the user's identity to the website. Case closed.

De-anonymization of the web solves (or ‘solves’) plenty of current annoyances, like comment spam and likely email spam too; foreign trolls skewing the national agenda, or just stupid people spreading various bullshit or bullying someone; perhaps also some security attacks. So it's practically inevitable that it will keep bobbling on the tips of people's tongues, just waiting for some kind of web 9/11 to happen.

It probably won't even start as a government thing, but a thing for Google to prove to Amazon that the user is not some shady schmuck. Then perhaps the government will step in and say that this time Google really tries to do too much—why not just let the ISPs do that instead.
Yep, those are gold-over-silver(-over-nickel-on-contact-alloy) plated contacts. Good for both signal and power switching, as long as you use the same relay only for one of those things.
That’s not better notation. Programming uses equals and it’s fine. Symbol salad is the problem. One needs to control the number of symbols. Using a symbol for frequently used operations is better. For everything else being explicit is better even if it means repeating it a few times or being verbose.

And you’re wrong about abstraction. It only works if the abstractions are solid and non leaky. Most abstractions aren’t. If I gave you education at a high level of abstraction you wouldn’t know much. Human ability is to move between abstractions and create new ones. Not parsing things at an arbitrary level of abstraction. One needs to build abstractions. Not hand over high level ones.
Prison itself is certainly the cause of several murders as well. Prison ruins lives (that often weren't going optimally, to be fair), and people in bad situations do bad things.

$5k for healthcare costs
$5k car and driver on standby for potential court appearances

Yeah, I imagine the US would have no technical problem doing the same thing that's happening in Xinjiang, but, we really don't want to.
There are similarly powerful industries and they are regulated strictly. Take banking, as an example: In theory, you can "choose" not to use a bank, but realistically, you won't be able to and still live a normal live in modern society. That's why we regulate them and disallow them to simply take your money for no reason, impose insane fees etc.. I don't see why Facebook should be given a cop-out given how essential many of their services are to a normal live.
> As an adult it seems everyone has Amazon and everything they want, so what's to do but trade boring gift cards we don't need. How exciting.

From one terrible gift-giver to another: Once you are no longer poor and the people around you also aren't poor and can afford the things they want, gift-giving becomes about knowing the person. What have they always wanted or needed, but wouldn't get for themselves?

When you distill gifts to a monetary exchange they lose all value. Know the person, show you care, share that you thought about them, that you put effort into their gift. Then gifts become magical and amazing once more.

Your mom appreciates a $600 weekend getaway with her son/daughter infinitely more than a $600 fancy bluetooth speaker.

One could reasonably argue that there's too much concentration of power in the media (a process that started decades ago with conglomerates building portfolios of media companies), but as has been frequently noted in the past, freedom of the press belongs to those who own the press. It's not a first-amendment issue, it's a market issue, and antitrust issue. Of course, political leadership spent many years deliberately weakening the power of antitrust authorities, so they reap what they sow now.
It’s not a numbers game at all. On one side you have actual innocent people (and cops) who are killed, assaulted, traumatized. On the other side, in the best case scenario, you are maybe preventing a hypothetical crime that maybe causes someone harm—and even that could have potentially been prevented through other means without the bad externalities. It’s a stupid trade.
It's not rigged. If you think the stock market is rigged, you'd have to apply similar lens to the factors that influence it like inflation stats, employment numbers, gold and other metals prices, interest rates, and currently, home prices, food and fuel prices, and all the other scientifically collected data that supports policy. Markets are the sum of the information everyone has about prices (even if that's not evenly distributed), and if you could co-ordinate to rig that, you could rig literally anything. If it were even possible to rig any, let alone all, of those things, the whole thing would be as fragile as the narrative that held it together. It couldn't exist. We'd only ever be one viral tweet away from total civilizational meltdown.

I get that connected insiders need more scrutiny and maybe making some high profile examples would set the tone, but that some bad actors don't bring the whole thing down is more of a feature than a bug in this case.
It's a matter of semantics, but I object to saying a braking system isn't purely brake by wire when electronics alone can cause it to totally fail.

There's a difference between a fail-safe that usually works, and a mechanical connection that's always there.

Electronics can fail in many interesting ways other than simply turning off. And they do! Ever looked at nhtsa.gov?

"Brakes Failed problem of the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid

Failure Date: 10/31/2018

There have been three instances of total brake failure. Initial instance occured on vehicle startup, a number of errors were given including "aadaptive cruise conrtol problem","collission mitigation system problem","road departure mitigation system problem" and "brake system problem". When I put the car in drive it immediately began moving forward. Car was towed to dealer where Honda blamed the issue on the undercaoting causing components to overheat. This was October 2018 in philadelphia. Replaced brake system and removed undercoat on affected areas. Second instance occured in February 2019 it had stopped raining but road was still wet and had puddles. Driving downtown, at a yellow light brakes completely failed, I ran the light and was able to stop with emergency brake. Car was giving the same set of errors. This time restarting the car made errors go away. Brought to the dealer, they said they did a software update but could not replicate the problem so did nothing else. Third instance was February 2nd, while driving about 30-40 mph, again either after rain had stopped or still had a slight drizzle. This time I saw the errors while driving before I needed to break and recognized the issue. Managed to use emergency brake to pull over. Again restarting the car cleared the issue, I have not brought back to the dealer yet."

The issue is that a single protein might not be specific enough ie. you will kill lots of wrong things if you are too aggressive.

My guess is that this is how the body actually works.

At the chemical level, the human body has many highly individually specific things (like enzymes and receptors).

However, at the system level, it's probably easier to take two slightly specific things and combine them to make something that is specific enough but not too brittle.

Afghanistan was nothing more than a live training exercise for the U.S. military. The war in Afghanistan gave the young officers live battle training, and prepared the next generation of U.S. Military leadership.

In order to "win" in Afghanistan it would have required slaughtering a substantial percentage of the population, which is not a particularly popular way to operate.

However, if the Taliban was actually a threat to the U.S. then the Taliban would have been eliminated, and eliminated quickly.
I probably could argue that whole perversion in judicial and legislative system stems from political system. Harsh on crime gets votes. As such people increasing penalties or getting more people jailed get more votes. Thus increased pressure for such activities.

It's looking at the existing data in the context of everything it's been trained on. It's forecasting in a very sophisticated way. We're a couple years away from seeing fully realized applications with these models that exploit the most clever and nuanced uses. Moore's law is trundling along in the meantime, and we're 6-8 years from seeing these massive transformer models show up in a flagship phone.

It might be overhyped, but it's also a massively broad-use tool that is going to provide value for many years to come. We've hardly scratched the surface of its utility.
>The problem with the "human life is worth less than property

Sorry, meant to write the opposite

>Property lost can be regained
The life force (time) spent generating wealth represented as property cannot be regained.

>my shit is more important than your life
More like "my shit is more important than your life while you are disregarding my right to property and robbing me". Yes, your life is worth less if you're stealing for profit. Just as your life is worth less if you murder someone, though obviously not to the same degree.

But I can't stress how easy this is; if the potential thieves know that they may encounter lethal force while thieving, they will be less likely to take the risk of such antisocial behavior and, more importantly, they know what they're risking when they decide to take time and effort from you. This doesn't even get into theft of sentimental property.

It doesn't quite matter if the punishment is disproportional to the threat when the laws and social norms are very clear: don't steal from other people. Especially when such threat of violence also acts as the only effective deterrent.

They actually have training / excercises within the Army (and I assume other branches), where they intentionally sleep deprive you while evaluating you on tasks. It’s assumed there will be points in battle where you can’t sleep. 24hrs without sleep happened fairly often, but the longest training that I can recall with sleep deprivation lasted 72 hours. Most people did manage to “sleep” during that time, but 20 minutes at most, as the cadence of the tasks was designed that you couldn’t sleep at all. I must admit though my platoon could mostly do our jobs in our sleep because the actions had been drilled into us and we had done them so many times with little or no sleep.
