Insightful. Hmm.

I don't want to be rich, then.
Even if it worked (I doubt), this does not mean that you stay young forever. You don't age normally, but all your joints will be used up purely mechanically. Not ageing does not equate to 'no wear'. It doesn't equate to 'no disease', and neither to 'no cancer'. Teeth will decay, nothing to do with age. Even parts of the heart will be used up and not regenerate.
In a nutshell, the non-ageing population segment will be zombies with artificial hips, joints, teeth, heart, and so forth. Buggers who over centuries will have learned to stay in governance, no new thought, the Blatters for eternity.
No pension, then. I already see the slogan for the cure in front of my eyes: "With this miraculous cure, no more need to retire! Work, and be active for centuries! Meet your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson for a ride on the bike."

I can tell you precisely what I am not keen on.

Zardoz, anyone?

Not a fantastic piece of movie, and neither totally bad. At least they thought through the misery of living forever. With all its consequences that we don't foresee when we ponder 'eternal life' naively.

Okay, lousy stitching already being mentioned, but I also doubt the motive. Endless snow fields with the least interest, and you'll never know how small/large you have zoomed in. One of the few interesting, recognizable, parts is the building site with crane. Wow, that comes out pretty nice, though. But 99% of 46 TB is almost wasted storage space. I'm amazed by the overall panorama, and said building site.
In no case any reason to stay up for a fortnight at minus 10C.

Text? What text? I only see text on the material, 'Kalzip', and that reads quite okay.

I'd wish you had rather put some of your attention spans into your post, sorry. Because I can feel that there is something interesting you want to say, and that I would like to read (reference to children), but that seems to have gone into some bin for ... lack of attention?

You seem to be a doctor, and not a bad one, and I wouldn't mind you being the doctor to operate on me (god willing, as few operations as possible, better zero needed during my life span),
but I would on the other hand not want you to be one of my co-scientists in a research project. Because 'attention span' in this context is not the notion that you operate for 8 seconds only before you fiddle with the nurse's lower back for 8 seconds, look out of the window for eight seconds, think of your wife for eight seconds, and so forth.
Of course, we all can attend to things for much longer. What is meant is the time you spent looking at the dailies shown in the shop of your clinic, finding out what the headlines were, and decide if you wanted to buy one. 8 seconds. And that blonde nurse in the elevator that you never saw before, could she spontaneously be the object of your desire? 8 seconds. Reading this post of mine:

8 seconds

You are an AC, and sound like like flamebait. You had better used your real screen name to make more of an impression (OMG, now I have to ...)

Because you are generally right. I used to help projects of FOSS with bug reports, but almost all of mine against KDE have gone the path into the drain that you described. Often, with requests for debugs, installs of other, newer software (with missing dependencies), and after some years, the standard comment: 'too old'.

For too long time their governance has shifted into a high 'bleeding edge' gear, and their quality control has closed both eyes to actual quality control, and instead patted the back of rather egotist developers of 'cool stuff'.
My question / request about my preferred desktop of the last 4 or 5 years, and heavily based on activities, remained unanswered. Respectively, I was told behind the scenes, that the 'new thing' was enormously cooler than the old style. I understand, the unified interface is cool. Seriously. But I won't use it on my phone, and rather stick to my customized activities on Plasma 4. Never mind, on Plasma 5, but the term 'backwards compatible' is not exactly known in KDE-land.

I wish you were right, but you are not.
The problem that you describe is known in quite another field as 'last mile'. The trucks will be driven by AI, solely by AI, and the human driver will come on board for that fictitious 'last mile'. Like the pilots that enter a ship to steer it through difficult waters. So may take some hundred thousands off the list of fully unemployed, and count them as employed for hourly work on demand.
The difference between the OP and your assumption will be minor, effectively. Consider driving a loaded truck off the warehouse as 'easy', and the need for a human driver is still reduced to one last mile before the destination.

0. About half a year ago, performance at read of data not read for a long time is observed to degrade.

1. Samsung acknowledges this fact.
The work around is obvious to everyone with a common sense: re-read data with old access data. This would be no fix, but the work-around of choice.

2. Samsung offers a fix some months later. Immediate observation: this fix doesn't fix the problem.
Samsung asks for more time and promises a fix.

3. Some more months later, Samsung provides the 'fix', which isn't, but the almost obvious work-around: regularly re-write (!!) the data.

Conclusions:

4. Samsung has tried to find a fix during 6 months, but in vain. The final solution is a brute-force work-around.

5. Strangely, though, the obvious work-around, that is re-read the data regularly, is not chosen. Instead, the data are re-written. This points to

6. There is more than meets the eye, because the path of no-wear, lower power re-read is not taken, but the one that uses additional power and additional life-cycles. This can't be an oversight on the side of Samsung, but intentional.

7. Why? What is it that we all don't know? There must be additional problems (unknown to me, at least) for Samsung to take this path for the work-around.

Sorry, my mistake: wrong wording. I didn't mean data loss, but serious slowdown.

'unless' what? Why so apologetic for Samsung? I still think you can't be affected, or you must be rich. If I pay four-fold for SSD, I won't find excuses for the manufacturer when the SSD is slower than a standard disk running on platters. Why would you?
Yes, my movie collection for example: some movies that i didn't watch for years. "Oh, sorry, Samsung 840!" when the movies stutter, or "oh, sorry, Samsung 840!" when copying close to 1 TB takes ... wait ... 100.000 seconds, that is some 30 hours? And this is still generous, assuming 10 MB/s; while some report even lower transfer rates.

Are you by any chance related to Samsung and try to stonewall criticism?

Wow. I'm surprised how you take a crappy drive like that so easily. I bet you didn't pay the serious money they actually charged for it? And it's no cheapo brand neither; rather the self-declared Mercedes.
And the prescribed maintenance is rewriting all data twice a month because it tends to be forgetful. What a fantastic piece of hardware! That is what we ought to discuss here; rather than if a brute-force workaround ... just works. Sure it does!

Your attempt on a definition is failing, though you improve on the cited one. Waves have nothing to do with liquids. Sound waves, electro-magnetic waves, bending wave (e.g. skating on ice), even the waves generated by an earth quake prove you wrong. Sorry.

Hmm. For me as electrical engineer, a wave is not what you found in the dictionary reference, and has nothing to do with liquid bodies, and there is not really a ridge or a swell.
Your second sentence doesn't help much, because the phenomenon 'wave' is not intrinsically linked to water. I for one see it connected with the notion of 'propagation'. Not much of a sense if we try to enforce precise terminology: electromagnetic waves, sound waves, subsurface waves, surface waves ... . Because the context usually specifies what we are talking about.
And here, the title is clearly specifying 'Subsurface ... Waves'. What more do you want?

Are you, incidentally, Moslem?
I dare to ask because this is what I have been told by a good number of my Islamic friends (and which has strained our friendships): "A handful of lunatic people".
Maybe it used to be. But when you look at Libya, Syria, Pakistan, IS, Nigeria, Somalia, Kenya, it is rather a very good hand full of millions.
And that is nothing to be taken lying down and lying low.
Your 'few militant Islamists' are a few million, and therefore, I have to be careful with your argument. And so should you be.
