"I'm here live . I'm not a parrot." ;)

They're intelligent social animals. Even just a change in eye contact from me alters my Amazon's behavior. He's incredibly attuned to my posture, tone of voice, mannerisms, etc, to clue in whether he's going to e.g. be getting a treat or scolded for misbehavior or whatnot. I can't imagine that a video without that back-and-forth would stimulate him.

I don't watch TV anymore, but he used to just tune it out. Rather, he'd tune into *me*. He'd laugh at the funny parts of shows and the like, not because he understood the humour, but because he was paying attention to me, and I was laughing, so he wanted to join in. And then I'd react amusedly to his taking part, he'd get attention, and getting attention was in turn a reward to him. They like getting reactions to the things they do. A video won't do that.

And yeah, he understands what screens are - same as mirrors. Some smaller psittacines are known to strongly interact with mirrors as if they're other birds, but in my experience, the larger ones don't do that; they quickly learn it's their reflection and stop caring. As a side note, I actually tried the mirror test with my Amazon twice, but each time I got a null result. You're supposed to put an unusual mark or lightweight object on their head where they can't see it, put them in front of a mirror, and if they interact with the mirror like it's another animal, they don't recognize it's their reflection; while if they use it to try to preen the hidden mark/object, it's a sign of recognition. But my Amazon didn't give a rat's arse. I might as well have put him in front of a wall for all it mattered; he gave the mark zero attention. Didn't care about the reflection of a bird. Didn't care about the mark on his head. Just sat there waiting for me to put him back on his cage :P I couldn't get him to interact with the reflection at all. Nor does he react to birds on TV. By contrast, he'll VERY MUCH interact with a real bird (he hates them all... he's very antisocial with nonhumans).

... as well as an asset. How about:

* If you have data that can be use for identity theft, and it leaks, you owe a per-person-exposed fine.
* In the absence of reliable records, all unencrypted data held by the company is assumed to have leaked.
* Fines are increased if if can be shown the company knew about the leak for more than 30 days before admitting it publicly.

With something like this hanging over them, companies:
* Might think twice about keeping data they don't really need,
* Might encrypt data at rest to make it harder to steal.

FWIW, there was reasonable evidence that resveratrol might work. Nothing approaching the level of proof, but reasonable evidence. And other evidence that it was at least harmless. (I used that as an excuse [to myself] to have several glasses of red wine over the years.)

FWIW, I'm willing to believe that he believes in what he's doing. There probably is evidence for most of what he's pushing. It's just that most theories about how biology works, even those by experts, are false.

I wasn't interested enough to follow to read how he decided that the dog had become younger. I'm willing to believe that there are some measures by which that it true. But there aren't any good measures of age, except the calendar, and that's not that good, as different events cause people (and animals) to age differently.

Cinder blocks and bricks are a bad choice in earthquake country. I don't know what's wrong with timber-framed houses, but I do believe that a good foundation is more important than that choice...and I've seen some houses being built with extremely poor foundations. (They also weren't handling the materials in line with the manufacturers instructions.) This, of course, is extremely difficult to check on unless you watch the house while it's being built.

Intermittent fasting improves some measures and damages others. I think I read recently that it lead to increased heart attacks. Paleo diet is not well defined. (Different groups ate different things.) But avoiding complex sugars and foods high in carbohydrates is probably good. (OTOH some paleo groups at reasonable quantities of honey.) B-vitamin complex is something to ensure, because you can't store most of them internally. (I think you can with B12, but there's also the problem with digestive absorbtion of that one. Consider sub-lingual tablets.) I've no information on "red light therapy", but heat lamps are a traditional treatment for arthritis. And daily exercise is something that everyone recommends.

That's already happened a few times. Shakespeare thought he had one foot in the grave in his 30's. So far the extreme limit seems to be around 125. (IIRC, in tests the very elderly were found to have strongly reduced T Cell variation. So basically lack of immunity to any new disease.)

Since the claim was made about a dog, I don't think his appearance is the test.
FWIW, I suspect that he actually believes in what he's doing. This doesn't imply that I do, and it doesn't imply he's not doing some fakery in the PR. He's 50, and may be starting to feel (and in denial about) his years.

So what. They continued supporting Python2 when they found their original EOL wasn't going to work. That's part of handling things "pretty well".

There probably are use cases where some people get some advantage from it. (Just not me.)

If you want to talk about a conversion fiasco, don't talk about Python. They handled it pretty well. Talk about Perl, which still hadn't recovered.

White dwarfs are composed of electron-degenerate matter. With most matter, volume changes with temperature. This is a natural check on nuclear reaction rates - as they increase, they heat up their environment, causing it to expand, reduce density, and slow the reaction. But degenerate matter's volume is almost independent of its temperature, so it lacks this natural counterbalance; degeneracy pressure is what keeps its volume, not thermal pressure. As a result it tends to be kind of... explodey ;) You have to get the temperature so high that thermal pressure becomes relevant again for it to meaningfully expand.

I expect you could leverage the design to any degree of power you wanted. But it would take a lot of development work. Remember the current Intel chip started life as the 4004. Then there was a lot of development work.

Ummm...partially. But I remember all the work on cryptography moving to Europe, because the US declared it a munition. Then someone made a t-shirt with a perl script that handled encryption, and the courts finally decided it was free speech.
