Nice post, Jacques. Luckily, I'm only 47.5. I've got a long time before I have your concerns of being 50. I've found that the hardest part of getting older is the work you have to put into your mind and body just to slow th

Maybe if the FDA were only making recommendations then people could decide for themselves whether to go with the doctor who advising an FDA-approved treatment vs going with some other doctor who is advising something else?

That doesn't make sense unless you have knowledge of what our specific maximum age should be. "Last longer" is a fairly equivalent way of saying "wasn't killed early".

I'm somewhat glad to see so many people in this thread having the same "Didn't we already know this?" reaction to the article.

Yeah, but I think that orclev was saying that you have a rule at the beginning that the element to the right of the index is important and then in ranges, the element to the right of the index is know longer important. One way or the other,

Same here. I tried armodafinil in addition. Although I was wide awake all day, those drugs didn't address the deeper brain-foggy feeling that I was having. They just masked a little sleepiness. After taking them for a few days, I l

That definitely goes against my hacker instincts where if I can automate a daily task with the amount of time that it would take me to do it in a few days, I go ahead and automate it.

Well, really it would be best if it were legislated that shadow profile type information not be allowed since by definition the user (or even a non-user) has not given informed consent. It would be great if we could move toward a model wher

The problem comes into play when treaties and laws are negotiated in private committees and then foisted upon the general legislative bodies with very little time for debate or review. Creating opposition takes time and by not allowing that

I think that the key generalization you could make is that once someone is shown to be engaging in criminal behavior, it's better to let that person stay free but have frequent checks than to put that person in a prison cell to rot. It

The largest quantity of beverage stocked at my company's developer office is standard Coca Cola. It's the younger people whom I see grabbing those rather than the diet sodas.

Lots of people care. I regularly go to a sports bar that features beers around the world. The guys in my group love to peruse the beer app that the bar sponsors. I order water and eat only the healthier items on the menu. Despite their l

I like this analogy when getting into the calories in/out discussion: We don’t get fat because we over eat. Meaning that overeating isn’t the cause of obesity, it’s an effect. If a room has a maximum occupancy of 20 people and the fir

Actually, calorie restriction has shown to provide life extension in every species tried so far except for one highly over-referenced rhesus monkey study that were contradicted by a later study[1]. Human study results are much more difficu

Isn't the interesting part of "language universal" some kind of commonality that is directly the byproduct of common human biology? Closeness of concepts in words would seem to be a natural commonality because of efficiency o

My first thought was that your comment was a little out there, but then I realized that I'm not that big on punishment with my own kids. I just let life punish them and stand by to assist them if they're in over their heads as we

Regulations that attempt to guarantee total security while favoring entrenched interests are exactly why the current horrible taxi cab situation exists. Freedom to compete is like bleach to the pathologies of entrenched lazy players.

I found the article to be misleading and of pretty poor journalistic quality. It reads like a rant and I would hope that HN would not make an exception for a Techdirt rant. For example: the line, "Craig himself has contributed to this
