I'm conflicted about this. On the one hand I don't want to be hooked up to a ventilator or go through extreme suffering to prolong life. On the other hand, my grandmother (who recently passed away) went through late stage breast cancer in her mid-50s, lung cancer in her 60s, had a severe heart attack in her 70s and died in her 80s. It was so bad one time the doctors told us she would die in a matter of days. After she recuperated, she lived another 8 years. She was a tough bird.

How many times have we all heard: "The doctors gave him 6 months to live and that was 5 years ago". So if I knew I could go through 3-6 months of severe pain and get another 5-10 years of high quality life with my family, I'd probably do it. The problem is you may go through 3-6 months of severe pain and then die in month 7.

Right now being in my mid-30s and with a young daughter I enjoy, I'd take on the fight. If I was in my 80s, probably not.
You run Inferno on top on Windows as an application? I have read that this is possible but I have never seen anyone doing this, not even in a screenshot. If so, what's your opinion of it as an environment?

(By the way, Inferno's implementation reminds me of Niklaus Wirth's Oberon, which could also run as either an application or as an operating system.)
I'm in Uruguay, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) opened a huge facility here to address just that (the time zone differences) as we're in the GMT -3 timezone.

But they're having trouble filling positions at their salaries, most decent programmers here earn more than U$ 1.000 (I make U$ 1.500 myself, and want to make at least twice that, so I'm about to start my own company).
Telling people to give up because of money or some sort of gentleness to yourself or your family is alien to me. Maybe it's our harsh climate uphere. Swedes seems very in tune with our suffering.

It's not about being tough and macho. A lingering decline can be psychologically painful for everyone involved. Pretty much everyone I know that has been involved in caring for someone who suffered a slow decline - particularly alzheimers - don't want to go through that themselves.

You say now that you may want all the tubing and to be bounced around from doctor to doctor (not all of whom know what they're doing, by the way), but it's a very different beast when you're actually experiencing it. Some folks just say 'do what you gotta do'. Others say 'I don't care what you think you'll find with yet another test, the endless battery of tests is worse than the disease'.
Sorry but that doesn't make any sense. Freshdesk operate in the same field and will naturally have some client overlap. If they spot an unhappy Zendesk user surely it is worth making them aware that there is an alternative that may prove to be a better fit? The opposite would also be valid for unhappy Freshdesk users.

Dear browser makers,

Creating a password is not a job that users are good at.

Remembering passwords is not a job that users are good at.

Solve this problem for your users.

It's not super tricky. Make up a couple of new kind of input types. Say, input type=trade-keys. When you see that on a page, create a private-public key pair and swap it with the server. Take the private key you made and the public key you got and encrypt them using the user's passphrase---the only password a user should have. Store that locally and make a back up to your cloud service in case the user wants to log in with another computer or the user loses their hard drive somehow.

Done.

So you have several Android phones from different vendors, and use them all on a regular basis? Because otherwise the complaint about the buttons being arranged differently on different phones seems a bit odd. Why would you care, as long as you know the arrangement on your phone?

Is the path app for iOS better than the Android version? Because it also seems odd to blame the OS for the flaws of some specific apps.

Personally I am sad to see buttons being optimized away. For example my Galaxy Tab doesn't have a search button. Now all apps seem to hide the search functionality in a different place. I miss not having to search for the search button.
I can't help thinking this would work better on a platform with a faster feedback loop, i.e. Android or a web app. Maybe starting there to get the game right and then porting a polished version to iOS.

I agree, there is cause for some to be concerned about a "reputation damaging" attack. For most of us, however, this would be an annoyance and mere blip in our social presence. Also, what I mentioned is that there is not much incentive for anyone else to spend a lot of time and effort damaging my reputation. What would they get out of it, especially if the perpetrator remained anonymous?

But it does not equal the same as not playing. The end result is the same - death. Heck, the result of all three possibilities is the same. But the difference is in the length and quality of life leading up to it.

Given the choice between now and couple years of pain later, I currently see myself choosing the former. I don't want to go through the process of becoming a disease-worn shadow of myself, and neither do I want to be remembered as one. Maybe that will change with age.

And it's not always clear at the beginning which sites are going to become those "more important" ones...

Way back when, in the days when I used a single "low grade" password for signing up and trying out sites, I registered on perlmonks.org, which I didn't ever end up becoming a regular contributor and pretty much forgot about. I also signed up for this new fangled "micro blogging" service 'cause I could use it to send free text messages to my friends overseas. It was called Twitter. 3 years later, I've got a quite vibrant social life going on in Twitter, and thanks to the browsers remembering passwords for me, I'd forgotten it was using my "low grade password" and I never upgraded it when the importance of that login increased. Until the perlmonks database (with its cleartext password storage) got exposed, and 5 or 6 hours later I started getting questions from friends about why I was spamming them on Twitter with Acai berry spam...

Now 1Password generates and stores all passwords for me. Its data is synced (via Dropbox) to my phone/sparephone/ipad/laptop/work machine/home machine/media center. I'm happy enough to not be able to log into any website whos password I've not bothered to remember when I don't have access to _any_ of those devices - I've got all 3 banking passwords in my head, two email passwords, a few important ssh key passphrases, and a few others (like my Apple ID password, since there's several places 1Password won't fill it in with CommandBackSlash, so I find myself typing it often enough to remember it), everything else I rely on my (multiply synced/backedup) 1Password database for.

Its working out _really_ well so far (I've been using it ~18 months, probably managed to transition to all random passwords about 12 months back.)

Science is rigorous, repeatable observation. Double-blind studies and null hypotheses are excellent ways to achieve this. But case studies and low n studies are also informative - and are science. That science can only be control groups and null hypotheses is a myth.

Try and tell the medical fraternity that case studies should be eliminated because they hold no meaningful result and you'll be laughed out of the room.

I think this is a great way to think about it. People who try everything to extend their life do not die in vain. Over ten people in my family in the last ten years have been diagnosed with cancer and so far we've only lost one. The person who didn't make it was the youngest of all the victims, but his tumour was also somewhere the doctor's didn't see that often - the bile duct near the liver.

The number of operations and suffering he had to endure still lives with me to this day and I could see why any doctor would choose not to go through this if they had to see such futile attempts at extending life end the same way. They flew in special equipment from the USA that was deemed highly experimental and would cut him open and try it out, only to have to cut him back open a few weeks later to remove what they put in. They tried surgery after surgery in the hopes something would be successful. They did not save his life but I like to think they at least learnt something about a cancer they simply don't see that often, that gave the next person a better shot. When they finally told him there was nothing more they could do, he asked them to stop all further treatment and to let him die on his terms.

The outlook for patients with breast, stomach, lung, testicular, skin or any other form of "common" cancer used to be as bad as pancreatic or bile duct cancer, but these days it's not a death sentence and a lot of people had to lose hard fought battles to get to this point.

Political Analysis
As someone that has been the lead for many large banking systems, I can say your intuition on this one is off. Banks enforce these rules because some internal security group set the rule a while back and thats what they use. Many smaller banks use whatever password scheme the banking software service provider has as its default. Its just bureaucratic deluge. Its certainly reasonable to pontificate that this deluge results in safety per your rational. But I have never seen a study that shows this to be so. It may well be that many set their banking password as the first account they ever used on the Internet and then reuse this same password for subsequent systems.

Interesting. The problem with Xbox is that every time I turn mine on, it has to do an update. By the time it's done updating, I've forgotten why I turned it on. It is also louder than many commercial aircraft, drowning out whatever you might be doing on it.

Here, here. I'm from Australia where medical care is also free. This idea of dying quickly as to not burden your family with medical expenses is ridiculous, given the success that single-payer health care has had in many countries all over the world.

I understand that some conditions cause insufferable pain with very slim chances of surviving, but there are many success stories from people who have battled through. Its often these same people who provide the courage to others to battle on and raise money to support the families of those who have had similar experiences. We shouldn't be thinking about optimising our lives for our own happiness, but for the generations yet to come.

I will always fight for my life to the bitter end. There is no way I would leave my children to come to grips with why their father gave up without a long, hard fight.
Potentially off-topic, but am I the only one who finds it absurd that GCHQ are offering a miserly £25k salary for people who manage to work their way through this puzzle and arrive at the job description?

This would seem to imply that the people at the sharp end of my country's cyber defence are fairly junior (because it's trivially easy to earn more than £25k in the UK if you have even moderate skills).
The geek in me says he should set up a better system for receiving, voting and discussing suggestions (a subreddit, maybe?).

"In Sweden medical care is free. I can fight as long as I want without them getting in trouble."

It's not free. It's free to you, but it is placing additional costs on the Swedish medical system, which somebody is ultimately paying for. You don't have to internalize the costs of your decision.

I'm not arguing whether or not you're a making a good or bad decision, or whether or not "free" medical care is a good thing. I'm just pointing out that providing such a system skews decision making.

If you have something interesting to TechCrunch's userbase (say, a SaaS aimed at developers), then I could see that, but otherwise, I've found it much more productive to get written up on a moderate-traffic blog in the right niche.

Don't forget that the battery has to more or less operate and survive in a temperature range of 50 below zero to 180 degrees. If not, operating it on a cold day in northern Maine, or leaving it in the sun in southern Florida will break it. All this and above, and you need to be able to BEAT current low priced battery options like car batteries, which perform sufficiently well.

Like many people I was very fast to pick up programming, but it still took a couple of years of programming full time before I made the transition to being a very productive programmer. As a programmer who hired other programmers, I was concerned about the skill level of programmers who had just graduated college. As a rule the most productive people I hired had a few years of full time experience.

Sometimes knowing too much can be bad for choice making.

As a coder, I worry every time I drive that the computer could accidentally fire the airbags because of a bug in a poorly coded sensor (this happens far less frequently now but when airbags were first introduced people were killed/injured periodically http://news.google.com/search?q=airbag+recall+deaths ).

Not the best example but things like this do affect choicemaking and corner-cutting. It's like the fable of the plumber's plumbing, never being in good shape despite his expertise.

Hence doctors probably don't always make the best decisions about their own healthcare because they are either over-reacting, or under-reacting.

I'm not quite sure what you're referencing -- an activity dashboard for a ticketing system, or something else using the same basic technique?

If you meant the ticketing system, you could see "live" status on techs in that system by just asking to see the "active queue" page. If they had tickets assigned to them, it would be obvious. I don't work there any more, though.

If not that, then I am not quite sure what it would be. Please advise if so (or contact me through my site, URL in profile) - it could be interesting!
I don't know any UK postal code but found that "NW1" will get you near the center of London. Once the map is active you can go to any place in the UK.

It would be interesting to filter by other criteria: year, age of people injured are two pieces of information that are already available.

Brand of vehicule, estimated speed at impact, cause of accident, DUI, etc. would make for very interesting criteria if they are recorded.
I love hunky-doodle blue-sky plans too - they don't have to deal with reality.

In reality, most people leave for work at the same time. So they all need a car at the same time. So we need the same number of cars as we have now.

Carpool? Did I hear somebody say carpool? With robotic drivers that works ... exactly as badly as it works now. My three nearest neighbors work in different TOWNS, not only different buildings or neighborhoods.

So I jump on Google Taxi, log in, reserve a car to show up and ... it says "next available taxi arrival, 2 hours before or after desired time". So I either get up at ass-oclock in the morning, or am chronically late for work.
