A proper init system similar to runit or s6 would be written in something safer (minimum unsafe) like Rust, be modular, simpler, follow UNIX philosophy, and not try to do everything in one process. Microkernel-style.

The problem with suicide is it eliminates all future good possibilities and it's likely that this is the only life.
Interestingly, I interviewed at one of the many startups who wants to implant thousands of sensors directly into the brain. The only issue is they had the same problem that MIT Lincoln Labs has: they're snobs about hiring only PhD EEs, creating an ideological monoculture.
The hemolysis must've been insane. I wonder why ECMO pumps aren't always mechanical baffles or a bulb to be easier on the blood. Just playing drums or a riding a motorcycle can lower your ferritin reserves from nuking RBCs in your hands and arms.
Perfusionists typically think ECMO = circling the drain.
If you can survive it, you are basically Iron Man as mentioned elsewhere.

What happens when one country requires removing content while another country requires it to stay?
GM: throwing shade on EVs since the EV1.
If end users want freedom with a centralized service, it has to be based in a neutral country and also accessible by VPN, p2p overlay network, etc. It would also be better if such a service were also distributed.
I've befriended a few sane, educated, elderly homeless people.
Turning your back on your parents if they haven't done anything "wrong" would be coldly, cruelly throwing them away like garbage. That's what happened in Korea and the suicide rates are awful. It's disgusting and embarrassing.
In my case, I haven't talked to my father in 25 years because he is very much a petty, unstable, irrational, unforgiving, un-empathetic, pathetic, unreasonable, hateful, venomous narcissist no one likes, my mother escaped, and he browbeat his late parents to take all of their money when my mother (their nearly adopted daughter/daugther-in-law) needed it more. If it weren't for the terrible way he treated people and the terrible things he's done (like molest my cousin), I would at least still want to know him.
I'm close to my mom.
Evening exercise won't do anything and will probably make it worse, e.g., body thinks it needs to stay awake to party / dance / get some lovin. Evolutionary psych basis possibly?
Haters gonna...
Sigh.
He's done a lot of good as a civically-involved public intellectual and debater than most academics do writing research papers few people read to "move the needle" towards where many things need to go. I sometimes say about sales and influence: You can build a viable fusion reactor, but if no one knows about it, it may as well not even exist.
It's easier to make money when you already have it, but it's not always easy to keep it if you don't value it or know how to make it in the first place.
They did grow to rival Regus. Although globally-ubiquitous, Regus failed to market and brand themselves properly to anyone under 45 or anyone without a briefcase.
When it worked, it was amazing, but the weight gain was intolerable. Missing a single dose felt exactly like a hangover after sleeping.

In this age, I would say:
- exercise even more
- subject yourself to more cold (burn more calories)
- subject yourself to more heat (suppress appetite)
- fasting - alternate day
- fasting - 18.6
- organic as much as possible
- eliminate industrially-processed foods as much as possible: if it comes in a box, it's probably suspect.
- eliminate plastic containers
- take the stairs rather than the elevator
- modify one's route to deliberately walk more

Another thing that needs to happen is for food packages to be wax, glass, or other materials for containers that don't contaminate the food with plastic compounds.
The Kármán line (FL3300) could be considered "space" since it's roughly where aerodynamic lift is no longer possible.
Also, does your insurance cover these random bills or is it copay/80%?
Feature request: giant passwords like that one that was posted on the side of a building.
I ran it with network off and saw the code, so it looks safe.
Through a botched 12 lead ECG, I ended-up in their cardiac unit over a holiday a few years back. It was better than most hotels. Insurance covered 100%. I don't think I ever saw the actual costs.
Seems very light (no pun intended) on content.
Computer graphics is all about hacks to save expensive operations.
Topics I would expect:
- Triangularization: Converting solid shapes to triangle meshes.
- Triangle rendering: Triangles + transforms -> screen-parallel irregular trapezoids -> scanline drawing.
- Painter's algorithm vs. W- vs. Z-buffering.
- Clipping.
- Scene representation.
- Quaternions.
- Bump mapping.
- Texture mapping.
- Mipmapping.
- Shading - massive topic. http://aicdg.com/oldblog/cg/2018/02/04/common-shading-algori...

I just shrug and keep doing what I'm doing.
Their hell is their lives. I don't need to get involved.
