It's really not. Some of the most beautiful songs are just artfully arranged samples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h5WJ6J6IlE

Fair point. I will extend my offer even up to a thousand years.

Yea I am signalling the moral high ground because HN is full of fucking sociopaths who want to live forever so they can execute their dumb ass startup until the heat death of the universe or learn new languages - at the expense of completel

Can we add a rule that people don't post stupid bullshit that isn't true?

Ironically, the whole point of the 'fountain of eternal youth' stories is that people wasted their entire lives looking for it rather than enjoying life / what they were given. Age extension technology is going to be the doom

Work as a contractor, charge a lot of money - more than you feel comfortable saying out loud but say it anyway. That way, you can work for shorter spurts and just focus on getting shit done. Then, take the minimum amount you need to sustain

If you want to be incredibly vain, sure. I think we'll see a huge backlash to artificial age reduction / life extension, much in the same way that plastic surgery / cosmetic enhancement is viewed as an indulgent activity.

In the movie "Soylent Green" (the book its based on is different, in fact I don't even think there's cannibalism in it) there are a variety of meal-replacement foodstuffs known as Soylent, including red and yellow, that

What advantage does Soylent have over say, other meal replacements e.g. Slimfast, weight watcher shakes, juices etc that have existed for years before it and will continue to do so for years after? All I see is SV hype and marketing. In fac

That's not true at all. You are simplifying the argument to the point of incoherency.

i'm going to be so high because a) my state just legalized and b) my partner is in the process of starting a farm :)

Uh except Organovo is trying to solve a much harder problem and has been around for a while AND has proven success? What point are you trying to make besides superficial snark because some funding numbers quoted in the article are similar?

Yep you're right, everyone employed by Southwest to research and implement this apparently crucial detail of airline travel has no idea what they are doing and totally fucked up. I honestly think hacker news should implement a feature

Man it was satisfying to cross that beautiful bridge after years and years of awful traumatizing Boston traffic. The difference is unreal.

Black bic lighters have white bottoms that get resinated and ashy too. Most, if not all, bics have the white endcaps. Source: looking at a white bic, a lime green bic, and a brown bic on my desk right now

Wouldn't an easier, scalable version of this be some sort of Trunk Club but specifically for high quality socks?

Yep there's no hostility at all towards women in any tech field, ever. It's all just a made up problem by feminists trying to spread cultural marxism

>This, incidentally, blows out of the water the argument made by some feminists that women don't do STEM because of conditioning in nasty patriarchal societies. Yep, that one anecdotal line from an article totally destroys the idea

It's the fact that we share the DNA with such diverse amounts of life that matters. You argue that humankind is fundamentally different and exceptional than all other life is to reinforce the hierarchy set forth by Aristotle and offers
