>Living longer would not increase our society's capability or capacity, it would almost assuredly decrease it, not to mention life would be exceptionally crowded, everywhere.

I think it would improve our capacity. Look at how much investment is put into someone before they can productively give back to the economy - kids take years of being raised, teacher's time, plus years of experience before they start paying their own way.

I think life extension would spread that capital cost out over a much longer productive life - right now say years 1-20 you are a resource drain, and the same for years 65-90. So you are producing stuff for society just half of your life (yet, this is enough for a surplus - the quality of goods output today in the world is continuously increasing) If we double lifespan it would double the productive years, so each life would be MUCH more productive.

That's not even including the fact that the second (doubled) productive section could take advantage of the first section's experience. So if we doubled each individual's productive lifetime, (by increasing total lifespan by just 50%) it would most likely more than double their total output.

Imagine how valuable someone who had 40 years of experience, plus a 20 year old's fast mind would be?

[note that by productivity I mean the amount of human / natural resources a person takes up; kids take up parents & teacher's time, older people take up highly trained doctor's time. People who are "productive" are generating more valuable services than they're taking up. So, people spending longer within that middle section would make them even more of a gain for the world]

Again, it's not about what you talk about RATHER how you talk about it. You're still boring.

The idea behind speaking about your passions is to tell it via a story and also create an emotional connection with the women as you're doing it.
I think that is a decision best left to the developer or user. Take an app that syncs your photos from a site you may already use, like Picasa, Flickr or SmugMug. You want to have these available on your iPad or iPhone instantly, even when you are without internet service. But you don't need them backed up to your computer every time you sync, causing the backup times to skyrocket, and if you lose them on a restore, it's a minor inconvenience, but not a huge deal. Losing them unexpectedly when you don't have the time or ability to re-downlaod them is a much more major problem for some people.

Fabulous comment. Makes me think you're sandbagging us with this "I never learned linear algebra" schtick :)

I was musing about this off and on yesterday and another way of looking at it struck me. Linear systems are flexible in some (well, few) ways and rigid in others. The reason you can't build a model that just captures two points and then absconds without getting stuck with infinitely more is that, being linear, this stuff can't "bend". Another way of putting it (the sort of thing someone who has spent too much time around computing and not enough around geometry would say) is that the language of linear systems is expressive enough to express certain things but not others. The possible interactions are regimented. You can add dimensions to gain degrees of freedom, or equations to collapse them, but both "freedom" and "restriction" here have a pretty narrow meaning. I'm looking forward to learning about some of the magic things this theory can be made to do. It makes sense that something with such a regular, yet complex structure (complex by our standards anyway - mathematicians would no doubt chuckle) could yield some beautiful results, but that it found such a variety of real applications is surprising to me. More surprising in this respect than its older cousin, calculus, which starts off much closer to our naive sense of how reality works.

Now for those matrix exercises.
Good question. Here are some possible answers:

* Better social networking for cryonics participants.

* More persuasive essays on the topic.

* New blood in the movement.

* Stronger associations to stronger movements.

* Different or more aggressive marketing/promotion tactics.

* Prizes similar to the X-Prize for demonstrating reversible cryopreservation on a small scale (e.g. organs)

* (Maybe unrealistic?) Government funding for cryobiology, specifically as pertains to brain preservation, and secondarily as pertains to whole organisms.

One major thing I'm noticing is that cryonics frequently seems to be seen as a low-status thing, despite being popularly associated with wealthy billionaires. There seems to be a paleo-humanistic (as I call it) tendency to rationalize and even glorify death as part of the grand cycle of life, and cryonics seems to be directly set against that. This may be why so many of the old sci-fi greats (Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, etc.) opted out. AFACT most living sci-fi and great humanistic writers of the aging generation (Terry Pratchett, David Brin, and so forth) are not signed up nor particularly supportive. I'm not sure how to change this narrative but I strongly feel there is a problem with it.

Another big problem I see is that cryonics tends to be popularly associated with selfishness -- yet it is compatible with altruism, and in fact has exceptional potential to save billions of lives if pursued aggressively (and if it works). Technically, it seems like one need not be concerned with one's own survival at all to be in favor of cryopreserving the world (particularly when economies of scale are factored in).
This was a senior/masters project for some students. I am sure with more custom electronics you could fit the camera modules everything in something more baseball sized.
I stubbornly stand behind my words. An always frustrated chump is way behind the average frustrated chump. Nevermind I stand corrected. I do think it sucks how they edited it so the highlights of it were them hammering him with advice. It's a conspiracy against nerds. It's a SoCal entertainment industry conspiracy against the Silicon Valley. We all know which is better.

Really interesting idea, I've been working with Riak and CoffeeScript and love the model. Adding distribution is ... inspired. Mad like a fox!
How to convince someone to get an Android instead of the iPhone
Overall interesting idea but I would expect better quality from single device. Now it looks like that each camera is completely independent - at least it is very easy to see lines where photos are connected because of different amount of light captured.
Great point. I'm definitely going to need some funding to make money. The only thing consulting will buy me is additional time to market the site/hack and get more users.

This is probably awesome, but it might be nice to show a few example timelines. I don't really want to fill out a bunch of fields before I understand what this is all about.

I think Hackers will have the last laugh after all. When hackers finally build an AI, it will also be the first soul. An intelligent mind decoupled from a body and thus capable of being immortal. The first step in this direction was the stored program concept itself which was best articulated by Von Neumann (http://qss.stanford.edu/~godfrey/vonNeumann/vnedvac.pdf) and realized in the EDVAC. This allowed programs to be decoupled from hardware. Dennis Ritchie, whose loss we all mourn, made what I consider the second big step. Decoupling large software systems from hardware, via a portable operating system. It will take a while (10-20 years?), but maybe something like ROS (http://www.willowgarage.com/pages/software/ros-platform) will someday become a full mind that is still decoupled from any particular hardware...a soul!!!
"In a way having some competition is a good thing because it validates your idea."

No, it doesn't. Many people can be wrong about the existence of a market/problem. But to answer your question, "when you earn from your startup as much as you do from your job" is quite a safe point.
"She's the 2nd most beautiful girl I've seen.....in the past 30 seconds"
Minor typo: "Timekiwi fetches activities from tiwtter".
I agree here. A start-up not related to a dollar value or certain incorporation, it's a specific intention to start a business.
This applies to startups, less so to more mature companies who can and will throw more resources behind a project. After the prototyping phase, once you're reasonably sure of the direction you're going to go in, it isn't a bad idea to keep extensibility in mind from the start. It's more like premature architecting, if anything, than premature optimization, which is much less offensive (and not even necessarily bad).
Microsoft's acquisition of  Skype is a done deal
I fail to understand how overpopulation or any other negative consequence of eternal life can be worse than death.

Death is final. Other things we can deal with.
Most of the money goes into an investment account, and eventually to biotech/nanotech research to reanimate the patient. Most of the work in reanimating the patient is repairing extreme brain damage (from cold and ischemia).

Repairing brain damage is extremely valuable to people who suffer from it, and to society. Sure there are more direct ways to fund brain damage research, but you don't get the same motivation; this feels like a selfish benefit to the person who spends on it so it is more likely to compete with luxuries instead of charitable causes.

First of all, people frequently do those walls of texts when they have no idea of who they are, they just did everything that they were told so, so they are like a puppet. Making money is not hard when you are puppet. Here on HN there's a lot of paul graham's puppets, so they somehow spend their lifes creating CRUD apps...

Don't take me this the wrong way.... but I think you are full of shit. You are those kind of people(very common in HN's community also) that HAVE to think you are somehow special. You think that life is something you explore and conquer. Your life made you think like that and now it's time for you to release yourself from your stupid destiny, just like you did with the drugs.

Start reading more philosophy and literature... I know you are probably goal driven and there's absolutely no real goal in "reading". You just get to see things differently, with a diferent perspective and that will really help you.

Also, don't forget that days go by really fast, someday you will die. God might not exist and that might be your last chance to be yourself, so... who are you?

And please, make real friends and get a girlfriend: you will see how simple working and making money is, something hard is to make a person happy everyday(your friends, your girlfriend, the ones that you love...).

The issue is that if there does happen to be some type of bug which allows an exploit, simply pointing your webgl-enabled web browser at some page would let an attacker compromise your system. This wasn't really a problem before webgl, since to get 3d graphics running at all, an attacker would have had to have code execution privileges on a victim's computer (by which time it's already too late).
I think I'm one of those people. Performance of Firefox has always been completely unacceptable to me.

When Firefox came out I continued to use the Mozilla browser. (I wonder if anybody remembers that one.) At that point I couldn't understand why people were so excited about Firefox. To me it looked like the Mozilla browser with a new icon, half the features, double the bloat, and half the speed. I distinctly remember that when Firefox came out Mozilla was a much better browser!
I'm a 2011 MacBook Pro (8,1) owner who, due to some lapse of rational thinking, bought the laptop with the intent of running Linux on it from the get-go.

tl;dr -- Natty was a horrible experience for Sandy Bridge systems, but Oneiric has been much, much better.

I think this was the case for all SB systems during the Natty cycle. When SB dropped in the beginning of this year, the Intel code throughout the kernel (graphics, as well as general processor stuff) was pretty bad. I had a lot of lock-ups and freezes with those kernels back in the Natty beta (I got my MBP in early April, IIRC). Even after upgrading to the bleeding edge kernel (to get extmon support with integrated graphics), things were still pretty ugly (the biggest insult was the wireless card not working).

Suffice to say: I ran back to OSX screaming like a big, first-world-problem-having baby.

So, I labored until the hateful gaze of Cupertino for those six months (my work is done in a Windows VM so the host system doesn't matter, beyond what "makes me happy".. pleasure coding happened in an Ubuntu VM running awesome-wm). When Oneiric came around, I decided to give it another try and, I'm happy to say, they finally got their shit together. Anecdotally, I haven't had a single lock-up. I've gotten wireless working (was a bit of an effort and I have to rebuild kernel drivers whenever the update manager installs a new kernel) and the remaining issues are pretty minor: inferior battery life (paradoxically with better resource usage for my workflow), sub-optimal resolution on monitors, OSX vs Linux trackpad drivers, etc. But, overall, I'm much happier that I was able to stick it out (I was this close to offloading the machine on craigslist).
Brain slices have really high cell survival rates (normal electrical activity), and rabbit kidneys have been reanimated with full functionality.

At a minimum there should be a very large and prestigious prize (like the X-Prize) for milestones such as demonstrating organized whole brain electrical activity.
I just installed compizconfig-settings-manager, and in the Unity plugin, there is a setting where you can tell Compiz to prefer applications in your current viewport. I am no longer as concerned about the alt-tab change now.

Hmm, I think the months menu [1] that opens when you take the mouse to the bottom right corner should have months listed in the opposite order. It feels more logical to get the most recent months down, closest to the mouse cursor, and the least recent furthest up.

Edit: Ok, it might not feel that natural anymore with the scrolling behavior, since the timeline itself has time pointing upwards. How about moving the menu to the top?
I think they do recognize it by this point. I think the pullback of Starz! was a key sign of this... the content providers were not comfortable handing Netflix so much power.

You bring up a good point about Netflix/Hulu going direct to buy their content. I think we are seeing early signs of this, but it has been taking time to gain traction. Some of the early Hulu exclusives such as "If I Can Dream" were epic failures. But there have been successes as well, such as "The LXD".
http://i.imgur.com/WwnW8.png - a screenshot of Chrome with 20 tabs open. As you can see, determining what each tab contains is rather hard. I agree that scrolling the tab bar (using mousewheel, the UI buttons for that purpose are utterly useless) in Firefox is extremely unwieldy, so the only time I use it is to get to tabs I have at either end. "List all tabs" is an amazing feature, IMO.
Jenny McCarthy is the antithesis of nerd culture. Why is she associated with us?
True, but we'd hit that limit too. Space travel would allow cubic growth at best (expanding at c in all directions). Populations typically grow exponentially.
The _only_ reason I have stuck with Firefox so long is that Vimperator and later Pentadactyl blow all Chromium vim-like addons out of the water. I have finally got so sick of paging issues and unresponsive scripts in Firefox (sometimes to the extent that even the Magic SysRq key could save me) that lately I've been using Chromium + vrome exclusively.

Nice! I'm curious - do you guys plan an API or something? Why I ask is I'm one of the devs of LineTime, an iPad/iPhone app which displays world history as a zoomable timeline. I could envision an app where people can view or download their own custom timelines using your data and our timeline visualization...

Anyhow, here's a demo video of LineTime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW__WZ6pxJ8 Shoot me an email if you're interested: john @ linetimeapp com

Edit: Just noticed the timeline stuff is created client-side only, so maybe it isn't as good a fit as I thought. Are you planning on enabling clients to store timeline info on a server and create their own timelines?
Yep, also we were also thinking about the order in the horizontal version [1] to be reversed. What are your thoughts on that?

Agree with piccadily, my main critic of Steve Jobs is that he is the inventor of the iFanboyism and misused the teenage envies to create status symbol gadgets which tech-wannabes use to show off here and there. They continuously ignored the deficiencies of what they held in their hands previous lack of true multitasking, a notification system which sucked, a walled garden which excluded threatening businesses, a simple button interface which didnt have widgets etc). However those iFanboys polluted all true tech discussions, by bringing such constructs to tech discussions like 'I love my ' , 'I browse the internet with my ...', 'Non-iphone users stink, or are poor etc', to further enlarge the status-widget.

On the contrary, Dennis Ritchie and other great tech people talked to our minds, for example, to give us a philosophy of how to create small programs to combine in a Lego fashion to create bigger ones (Unix philosophy), or to better program the machine underneath
with a versatile language such as C. They are far more profound.

Second sad fact is that Steve Jobs gave minimal back to open source community (for example, BSD..), and defended a world where the company milks the users to the full limit.
Effectively, a Riak in-memory database is memcached, but distributed over all the nodes, with zero administration to grow or shrink it. So, if I've got 10 nodes, and each has 30MB set aside for this caching (or whatever) effectively its a 300MB cache. Adding another node makes it a 330MB cache.

I'm avoiding the logic of deciding whether a POST would change it or not, by letting the components handle it. They can set a default TTL, and they can also, if they process any relevant data, force an update to the cache.
I've already chimed in elsewhere in this thread, telling my story (I'm an owner of a 8,1 MBP who bought my laptop just to run linux on it).

I've found that Ubuntu has the most "mature" Apple user community. They have their own PPA (which, sadly, seems to not be aging well.. still no Oneiric packages) and a pretty active sub-forum with a friendly crowd of regulars. From time to time, people (mostly Fedora users) come by to bum kernel patches and whatnot off of the locals.

That being said, a MacBook specific distro would be pretty cool, but I think that it'd be better to just get Canonical's ear and push work to their "upstream", as they seem pretty receptive; they have a mac-specific installer ISO (although I never use it.. it always gives me trouble). Also: they were really helpful, during the Natty beta cycle, responding to bugs with the Sandy Bridge integrated graphics sub-system (as the 2011 MBPs were pretty much, at that time, the only Sandy Bridge laptops in the wild). They actually turned me on to a bleeding edge kernel build that had upstream changes from the intel graphics team to get extmon and whatnot working (the quality of said bleeding edge kernel is another story, of course).
