The body stores fat for the exact purpose of surviving limited access to food. Most Americans could go weeks without eating, and they'd be mostly fine. Sudden refeeding is an issue, of course, because of electrolyte balance. But we hav

Great point! It's not a far-fetched thought. I would love to see someone track this at 18 month intervals starting today. Although, depressingly, growing at the rate of Moore's law, it would still take 24 years to get 1 million pe

Wow. That's sobering. 1,000 PPM is not far-fetched in a few decades as more poor upgrade to higher carbon lifestyles. The growth curve so far has not been linear... Very interesting.

That's software in general. The core money-making algorithms don't take many human bodies to develop. At Google, 500-600 researchers and core algo developers likely do most of the heavy lifting. Otherwise, 90%+ of their developers

Actually, besides Jurassic Park style exhibits, hunting and eating is probably the killer app. There could be millions in game hunting and serving this at high-end restaurants. Note: I'm NOT advocating this. It's just that hunting
