I'm willing to bet you've never tried any "mind-altering" drugs - alcohol included. Am I right? If I am right, don't ever try them!!!

My feeling is that you're addicted to something else - and I would suggest that "something else" is much better for you than the alternative.

Is this it? Yes it is! Well... yes and no! You might be able to conquer the world - wouldn't that be great? :-) Your challenge isn't in what you achieve, it's in what you get satisfaction from. When you conquer the world, when you make your first million, when you do x, y or z... - that "high" will eventually leave you void, much like the void you've already defined, both within yourself and within your family. Your challenge will be finding peace and pleasure in the normal moments of life. Do you relate to or understand what I'm saying?

I wish you the best! Not in your achievements, not in your work, not in your studies - but in your pursuit of happiness for the rest of the moments that sit in the vast space between your low points and your high points.
Yep, it's one of those kinks we'll iron out as this goes into more serious use.

Long life != immortality.

Obviously nobody really wants to be immortal and one day outlast the solar-system and eventually be left floating around in space for trillions of years.

I have extremely mixed feelings about it. I'm studying law and think there is a lot of merit on both sides of the argument. Before starting formal study, I did a lot of reading at a law library on a legal subfield of particular interest to me. After a year of reading, I could probably pass a certification exam on the rules in that area. On the other hand, now that I'm in law school (started last month), doing the basics on contract and criminal law are causing me to think very differently about the rules of that subfield, which are derived from or influenced by other rules of law.

And in turn, a lot of the first-year legal theory is only superficially about the rules, and more about exploring the many different modes of analysis that can be used to interpret those rules. A lawyer friend advised me 18 months ago that the rules are fairly easy, and that it's not unusual for a good paralegal or legal secretary to know the rules better than a lawyer does, but that the skill of an attorney is more about being able to explore the many possible interpretations from a given set of rules, whether to craft a persuasive argument in a dispute or to avert future disputes by anticipating where misunderstandings might arise and pre-empting them by clarifying ambiguities. So the more law I learn, the less I understand, if you see what I mean. At some point this trend will reverse itself...I hope :-)

So I can sort of understand the Texas approach here. Yes, it does involve a certain amount of nest-feathering by lawyers who wish to keep their services positioned at a high price point and use the ABA standards as an exclusionary filter. But on the other hand, you really don't want a lawyer whose only claim on a license is the ability to remember a large number of rules and apply them to straightforward cases, because that sort of lawyer will treat an unfamiliar problem like a legal dartboard and just try to hit as many rule issues as possible in the hope that one of them will score big. That sort of kitchen-sink strategy is good for intimidation or burying someone in paperwork, but it will fail badly against someone with a really strong analytical capability who will be able to weigh the significance of all the different rules in context and guide a court towards a wise decision rather one that is merely superficially correct. The lawyer with an excessively mechanistic, rules-based approach won't do a really good job for the client , and that undermines the standing of the whole profession. It's like the differences between first aid training, the greater skill of a paramedic or nurse, the deeper knowledge of a doctor, and the really expert knowledge of a surgeon or specialist researcher. All kinds of medical expertise have value in different contexts; you don't want to pay a brain surgeon to treat a minor cut, but nor you do want the camp counselor to operate on your subdural hematoma.
Bottled water is a scam. Most of the stuff comes from water hoses. I'm sure the stuff they had at google was laced with tasty minerals and went through purification processes. There is so much plastic that ends up in the ocean/street because of bottled water. Its really a shame.

It is the something else that I am unsure of at the moment. Occasionally I get the thought to head to Africa and help build networks or begin writing some sort of book, but those things take planning. One thing I need to do is locate the patience I have seemed to lost in the past years. I have never tried guitar, but it seems like one of those things that requires patience so it would fit well. Plus, a part of me has always wanted to play the acoustic version of karma police.
These visionary geniuses and hackers' most brilliant breakthrough was the realization of the inevitable fact that sooner or later, we all die. The trick is in channeling that truth as a motivator. We must strive to achieve as much as possible today, because there might not be a tomorrow.

Steve Jobs:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Steve Jobs is the single worst example that the OP could've picked as a candidate for cryopreservation, as it goes against everything he (and I) believes in.
> I don't know the reason for the aversion to mutable data record/object.

I've found that mutable data is a root of all kinds of evil. In fact, I'd guess that most bugs stem from a mis-management of mutable state.

I know that pretty much all of the bugs I see every day are the result of failure to coordinate state changes, or poorly-designed state changes.

I keep being reminded of the cliched statement: content is king.

The next revolution in the media industry will be brought about by the ability to produce high quality, low budget content.

Things like the RED camera, HD video capable SLRs, point and click video editing software, easy access to compute farms are pointing to a future where video content will be as easy to produce as back in the 2000's where anyone could just put up a webpage with the tags <html></html>.

You can already see it happening and that is what has the old content producers scared.
Something I have done in the past is put all the "loaded by everyone but not static" stuff in memcached. The application pushes to memcached on startup, and any POST that would change it causes the application backend to update the memcached entry(ies). This is a slightly different approach from the microcaching, but it has the advantage of being always consistent.

I only do this when the stuff starts to obviously become a bottleneck, and I haven't done much with cloud hosting, where RAM seems to be more expensive than cpu cycles, so I don't know how well it would work there.
> In order to become a truly independent platform, Hulu needs to beef up its offerings so that the loss of any individual content partner would not be a big deal

Absolutely correct. The main thing is that the only viable independent platform, Netflix, has had serious difficulty maintaining agreements with content providers. That adds a lot of risk and uncertainty for prospective investors of an independent Hulu.
Enough about html5 video already
It's as close to a universal solution as you're going to get without a much more intrusive runtime. Obj-C and Python seem to get along just fine with it. I'd say that shared_ptr removes a lot more complexity than it adds in most code. What kind of impedance mismatch do you see with pass-by-value? You should be passing shared_ptr by value.

One of the things I like about C++ is that it gives me choices and I still use raw pointers sometimes but shared_ptr removes a lot of manual memory management noise and makes it much easier to write robust, correct, exception-safe code.
There are a lot of things that can cause chronic pain without threatening your life. We would have to learn how fix all of these non-life-threatening things in addition to what causes death, or everlasting life will lead to everlasting pain with absolute certainty.
So, do you think if you had offered Steve Jobs an extra 1000 years of life, he would have said no?

The question is not "if" but "when." Biotech and medicine are only getting better. At some point we'll be able to reverse aging, then we'll have to deal with the consequences. To prevent overpopulation, people can either have kids or live incredibly long lives. Not both.

I bet once indefinite life extension becomes feasible, something along these lines will happen:

Everyone who had serious philosophical conundra on that subject just, you know, died, a generation before. The Bitchun Society didn't need to convert its detractors, just outlive them.

(from Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, by Cory Doctorow)
The content providers are playing a dangerous game though, and it isn't clear they recognize it.

If they push the price too high then Netflix has the money to go directly to the production houses and buy shows themselves. I know they are experimenting with this now, but it is a model that will become more and more attractive.

> Not to mention that he's compromising on accuracy. Yeah, 1 second is tiny, but why give it up if you don't have to?

While NGINX may use very little CPU and have minimal hard drive access, PHP (or Java/Python/Ruby/etc.) will hit those resources hard.

Look, I'm not one of those environmentalist wackos who pisses his pants when somebody forgets to turn off a light ... but ... if you're keeping your BLOG server a hundred times busier than it has to be just so that your users don't experience a staleness of 1 second ... you're an asshole. A military or medical application, fine. But a blog? Sorry, no.
By "death", I assume you mean senescence: the natural biomolecular attrition that inexorably leads to organismal death absent of outside causes.

It is true that turtles can live for almost 200 years and some plants can live for thousands of years. If we are essentially, biochemically the same, we could in theory overcome our biochemical "bugs" to achieve negligible senescence. So, we'd live forever.

Unfortunately, that's a hard problem because we didn't design the system -- unlike computers and programing languages -- and we're trying to reverse engineer an insanely complex system created by the massively parallel process of natural selection acting on random mutation. And we're hampered by things like IACUC.

Computational capacity may double every 2 years, but a mouse still has a generation time of 3 months, just like it did a million years ago. That's why biomedical progress (frustratingly) doesn't progress at Moore's Law, and you can't just throw money or engineering talent at the problem.

So yeah, focus on "death" as a biochemical problem, but "focusing on death" won't solve the problem at the same pace as focusing your engineering talent on a human engineering problem. The natural sciences are much more stochastic, and there's no clear path to immortality.

I have smoked weed, but all it did was make me think like a normal person (or at least how I think a normal person would think - no racing from subject to subject or building complete hypothetical decision trees in your head). I have and still partake in a few drinks, but with a focus on taste; Microbrewed beer and good wine is more of what I like.

I know exactly what you are saying and it is funny how you managed to sum up everything in my post to come to that answer. While I am not depressed, I do have points of being in a rut where I can't seem to find the happiness I would have thought to be associated with what I was working towards. Even when I do find the happiness in things, I tend to side with my mind in saying that it is not good enough. I can always be a couple seconds faster on the bike, always a bit smarter in how I structure my code, maybe find someone who is more of what I like, etc.

Last year I made the goal of accepting things for what they are and not what they could be. Reaching this will be a life long battle and one that tends to move much like changing myself and that is slow. This year was focusing more on my family and realizing that I need to accept that I can't change who they are. I can't make them better or worse, they are just themselves and I can now accept that. I imagine other parts of my life will fall in line the same way, but it requires a lot of effort.

I appreciate your kind words and your very accurate summary.

I agree biological immortality is a lofty goal, but it is orders of magnitude harder than space race.

At least with getting people into space, the basic techniques (launch rocket, orbit earth) and constraints were figured out. Devil was in the endless details.

Humans still barely understand how aging works, much less how to theoretically stop it. Sure there's hypotheses here and there, but no unified description or strategy to stop the process.
Actually, everyone could still have one child each. Each successive generation would be 1/2 the size of the previous and the population would approach a limit of approximately two times what it currently is since 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8... = 2.

What exactly are they scared of? Amateurs taking over professionals?

Can't see that happening as the public directs most of their attention to the professionals. On the other end of the spectrum, all of the talent and creativity go where the money is.

Sooner or later we all have to die. It's inevitable. But, if you feel like you might have wasted your life if you were to die tomorrow, why not get up and do something about it?
I think the "like many phones" point is key. The iPhone pulled everything in this direction.
Continuing on this point, it might be a hell of a lot easier to create an artificial brain (or at least AI as clever as a human) than reverse engineer a biological system "designed" to expire.
Setting time limits also forces a faster pace. When there are no time limits, a person can keep filling up time with work subconsciously.
I really like the idea and UI, thanks for sharing.

Minor typo:
Let it be investors, founders, owners or just jourself should be "yourself".
This is a false dichotomy. You can strive to achieve as much as possible today, as well as attempt a second chance at life through cryonics.

>Nirvana is CoffeeScript web development backed by erlang and Riak.

>The idea then becomes, instead of executing the code for every component in every request, if the component has no context specific requirements (e.g.: it is the same for every user, it's a static element, or it's dynamic, and but doesn't need to be generated every time) .. then it can be flagged as cacheable.

How are you going to win over everyone else's caching solution? Why are you going to be easier than

cache[:foo] ||= Computation.lovers_do_it_expensively()

?
What a waste. We've got multiple unjust wars, we're bailing out wall-street yet again, and this is what our courts find time to do - waste the time and effort of a productive company like Samsung over "design patents".

We're innovation hostile. Even our "best" companies like Apple are trying desperately to build themselves a parasitic position on the industry instead of trying to build new, better, technology. It's no wonder all the money has flowed overseas, so has the prosperous mindset that made it.
Figuring myself out is the best and scariest part of all this. It should get even more interesting if I manage to shoot for the degree in social psychology.

You left out the case of storing data for offline use, which is one of the key use of Instapaper, offline maps, cached notebooks, etc.

If I stored something specifically for offline use, I want it to be available as long as my device is with me, even when I'm offline. (1) Some of it is important as you say, and they should be backed-up, but (2) some are important, but is capable of being downloaded again and shouldn't be backed up and shouldn't'. The latter is the one that is now automatically cleaned up.
The dating scene would suck in the later generations of this scheme - assuming monogamy.
Not necessarily this one instance, but many people that I've talked to tend to credit Jobs with many technical achievements, if not everything Apple ever did.
Really awesome idea, it's gorgeous too.
I wasn't being 100% direct either. The author still credited, or better yet, blamed Jobs for something he didn't actually do-- design the iPad. It seems pretty common, at least with non-techheads, that "Steve Jobs" is used interchangeably with "Apple".
1. The user can re-download from Instapaper's servers.

2. It goes against the spirit of Apple's policy here, which is not to backup to iCloud what ca be re-downloaded (see 1)

3. The user might have lots of content stored and again due to 1, those don't need to be backed up to iCloud. And really Instapaper actually has a small version of the problem. What is critical is applications that has huge amounts of data like offline maps and wikipedia. Those can be re-downloaded from their servers yet most definitely should not be backed up to iCloud due to time and cost.
Why does there have to be one? I'm happy using both Firefox and Chrome, they each have their own workflows for me.

I have a personal gmail account, and a work google apps gmail account, and recently Google decided you can only stay logged into one gmail account at a time per browser session. So if I want both open, I have my personal one in Firefox and my work email in Chrome. That in general leads to the use of using Firefox for personal browsing and Chrome for work-related browsing.

In Firefox I have all my bookmarks and Stumble Upon, along with RSS feeds and about 400 tabs opened (not loaded with the Bartab Lite addon and organized in a tree with the TreeStyle Tabs addon). In Chrome I have work-related things open, like our issue list and email, so very few tabs, and I use it for quick googling (work or personal). I also have Firefox using websync so I can get at my tabs from school or other computers. Chrome's also nice for having a Private Browsing mode instantly launchable without closing your other non-private session.

Firefox only crashes completely these days, sometimes, when java applets load. Chrome only crashes on pages.

Next to the staggering complexity of learning how to drive a human body, and learning human language more-or-less from scratch, flicking, logging in, and getting to favorite episodes is a parlor trick. The only reason we think it's amazing is because of the number of adults we interact with that have decided that they are "technologically incompetent" and refuse to interact with technology and just throw their hands up. If 2-year-olds benefit from anything here, it's not coming with pre-existing notions of what they can't do.

Which can also be overromanticized; my two-year-old once demonstrated that he did not have a preconception about how unwise it is to stand up on a kitchen chair and throw yourself at the back with all your strength. He has what you might call a postconception now.

I think this shock that a two-year-old could drive an iPad in simple ways says more about the adults and the poor quality of their ideas about children than much about the children themselves.
you're an asshole.

Not necessary.
I see we're reading from the same playbook. It would be cleaner to abandon biology, but how do you design something smarter than yourself? Is it easier? Nobody has a clue since we've never purposefully created human intelligence or AGI.
