Most mind-uploading futurism seems to be driven by the idea that we'll achieve digital immortality--at some point before or just after death, we'll transfer our minds to a simulated being in a simulated world, or perhaps a robot i

Right, because their environment imposes "stability" on them by killing them in various ways. The movie quote makes it sound like the woods are full of deer couples who conscientiously produce 2.1 fawns apiece. Humans are doing ex

Sounds like a dream. It took me nearly ten years to find stable enough remote work to escape the city, but damn was it ever worth it.

I have a similar situation--I live in a small town 45 minutes from a large city, surrounded by farmland. Aside from the farmers, most of the people here work either remotely or in the city, and choose to live here because it's quiet an

Then you just say "Coke" again. If you sound confused, we know you're not from here. If you treat this as a perfectly normal and sane interaction, then you're one of us ;)

Heh, "coke" is the only one that sounds normal to me (I'm from the southwest). Where I'm from, if you ask for a coke at a drive-through, they'll ask "what kind?". And then you say "Sprite", or wh

Fair points. Continuous operations create significant drag in day-to-day feature development work, but I can see the value for truly urgent things like Sev-1s, or having engineers that can jump on customer calls in different timezones. Defi
