Indiscriminately lengthening telomeres all throughout the body would be great for cancerous cells in your body that would've died off after a certain number of divisions, but won't now since their TTL has been reset. Telomeres are there for a reason, and I'm pretty sure one of those reasons is to stave off cancer and mutations in general.
An effective anti-ageing treatment would need to include DNA repair, since by the time your telomeres have gotten to the point of being a problem, you'd have a bigger problem with mutated DNA.

That's like saying climate change is fine because it's just how dumb people are making changes to our world. Yes, change is a part of life, but it's how things change, not whether they change, that is the issue.
When people misuse apostrophes or use the incorrect spelling for a word (eg. there their they're) it causes misunderstanding and difficulty for the reader. It's inconsiderate and annoying. It's equivalent to driving slowly in the fast lane.

Nobody here is arguing against the addition of new words, or drifts in spelling or pronunciation (eg. USA vs British English), and many, many changes have been adopted and embraced by "pedants" such as myself over the last decade. Misuse of apostrophes and other common errors are a regression, not a drift.

To put it another way, you have to learn the rules before you can break them.

This reminds me of the time intel first came out with their clock multiplied 486 dx2-66 and everyone was crying foul because it wasn't a "real" 66mhz since the motherboard was only running at 33mhz.
Intel and AMD seem to be doing more and more to squeeze the most mhz out of their CPUs at any given moment, further blurring the lines when it comes to what speed the cpu-mobo-ram are actually running at.

Here's a few more I can think of:

Bison (A parser based on YACC (Yet Another Compiler Compiler)). Two layers of stupid there. .NET (Made describing what it was to management that much harder).

GRUB. Unappealing imagery every time you deal with booting your OS.

X (the windowing server protocol thingy). So named because it came after (W)indows.

.. and the KDE guys don't have a Cinnamon version of their distro. Tsk tsk.

We're talking about Avengers: End Game, not season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery.

Diets have improved out of sight since my grandparents were young. Science can and does get things hilariously wrong, but on average, the correct ideas outlast the incorrect ones, if only on account of them being stronger memes. Scientific method should be seen as an accelerator for natural selection of beneficial memes; we're still nowehere clever enough to do this stuff without 95% of it being empirical study / trial and error.

They've somehow got the word "Shit" confused with "Popular".

If you use your right hand for the mouse and don't really use the keypad much, consider getting a tenkeyless keyboard. It allows you to have the mouse so much closer to the centre of your body, which saves your right shoulder muscles from tensing while you use the mouse.

I have a ducky shine (w/ mx browns) from years ago and it's okay-ish. Something that nobody ever mentions because they're all Philistines is that the Cherry MX browns & blues' "click" that's supposed to correspond to the keypress being registered is bullshit. The click feel is way off from when the key registers. AFAIK the only way to get a key that gives you feedback on when it registers is to get a buckling spring keyboard, like from Unicomp. WHY no other manufacturer has capitalised on this gross gap in the market is a mystery to me. Surely there's another way of achieving this besides the buckling spring? Hasn't that patent expired anyway?

Couldn't agree more, this is the folly of people being labeled as "biased" - everyone is biased, it's the human condition.
Anyone who claims to be objective merely lacks self awareness.

Does cisco hardware not run on open source software? If not, this would be a great time for open source pundits to start jumping up and down and waving their hands around.
Intel seems to have the same critical mental disability when it comes to *not* putting gaping, obvious security holes in the closed source of its firmware, so from here it's pretty obvious that even the biggest, most reputable hardware companies cannot be trusted with this task.
If I was a Cisco customer I'd be calling up my "account manager" and asking them if they got any of them open source based routers and if not, we'll get our routers somewhere else.

On Slashdot not too long ago, there was some question about whether everyone should be taught programming in school, and I commented that statistics would be far more useful.
Well, here we are, assuming "data science" is just a wanky name for statistics.

I know what you mean, but what I'm saying is that the UI is never actually finished properly from a programming standpoint, and that makes the software far harder to use than any poor design decisions.

Say for example, you use the menu, click on some toggle in one of the submenus, and when you come back to the main screen, the hotkey for search doesn't work until you click on one of the controls in the main screen. This is really basic stuff, so what is going on inside these projects that it's left like this for so long?

Also, like I said earlier, programmers do have two eyes, and can look at commercially written software and get parity with it, so they really don't need any design chops whatsoever to do a good job: UX problems have already been solved by someone else.

It isn't hard for the programmers who write this stuff to eat their own dogfood (use their own software just once) and notice how fucking obtuse, buggy and clunky the UI is. Gnome's System Monitor, which so many Linux desktop distros use as their process monitor, is god-awful, even with so many eyes on it every day. It doesn't take a UX designer to fix it, it just takes a programmer who is familiar enough with the source code.
Another example: Gnome Maps has bugs all over the UI (not bugs at lower layers, because it doesn't crash) but you can left click / right click / menu selection your way into trouble very quickly and easily.
People who write open source software are doing so out of their free time, and I bet they get to a certain point where the functionality is all there, and they get bored with testing and bugfixing the useability aspects.

Writing a good UI is more about really caring than design problems. It takes a lot of time that nobody is paying for and it's not fun. That is why the UX with open source is mediocre. Any programmer can look at a commercial product's UI and try to get parity with what they're writing, but they don't, and that's perfectly understandable.

So in conclusion, I'd say in my professional opinion, that we just need a company with deep pockets to sponsor extant open source programmers to put the finishing touches on their work. It's something they're far better suited to get done than a UX designer.

Went to the website - there's a link for a chrome browser extension but no firefox exntension.
