Comment home in cloud storage (Score 1) 345

This is a solution in search of a problem or is it a way forward for /home in cloud storage, which would be useful.

Example: I got account on servers all over the world in global company I work for. Problem: NFS and high latency is a disaster. Manually rsyncing to/from my preferred server does solve it, but is not neat, if it could be automated that would be neat.

The life expectancy of a 79.5 yr old is not 3 years. That's not how life expectancy works.

Life expectancy is probably the most misunderstood and misused metric ever. It should be removed and replaced by better metrics. The infant mortality rate makes the number quite useless.
Also the same factors that lower infant mortality also lower mortality from high age, which causes the metric to look like what people expect, which causes even more confusion and misuse.
