But in wealthy countries, the birth rate is trending toward a shrinking population. Extending (quality) life may help reverse the trend.

Ironically, restricting calories has proven to help lab animals live roughly 10% longer. Thus, there is some truth to your joke.

Thank You David Sinclair for being humanity's guinea pig! Even if it doesn't turn out to work right, I applaud you for testing. Failure is scientific data also. Someday some brave soul like yours may actually stumble on the right formula.

I personally suspect it won't work until nano-bots can trek around our body and fix age-related cell DNA mutations. I'd guestimate that's at least 20 years away for the wealthy (done overseas to avoid regs), and longer for us plebes.

I'm a Kaiser member, and there is way too much JavaScript and unnecessary layers in their crazy site. Many simple browser and HTML widget actions simply don't work because an intermediate JS layer re-translates keyboard and mouse actions to something internal, it appears. They are reinventing a browser in a browser.

And it's slow to render, with stuff bouncing around as various panels incrementally load and change the layout and flow. Thus, you often click on the wrong thing if you don't wait at least about 5 seconds.

Kaiser's IT team needs to go to KISS Bootcamp. Or stop renting outsourcers who throw layers at a problem instead of do it right.

Maybe there's a limit to data back-up systems we haven't hit yet.

Don's Great Wall finally doing its real job!

According to Star Trek, AI doctors are fine as long as you don't beam into remote areas or convince doc they are an opera star.

You just haven't tried a Huawei spleen yet. Their CRISPR tech is cookin'

...for many things you don't know if it will fly until you try. Their shoppers tend to be older, so health services made sense on paper.

I think it's more that Nadella knows if he goes against Gates' wishes and his own plan fails, he's in the hot-seat, as Gates is bigger than life.

That was a Gilligan's Island episode: a Mars probe inadvertently landed on the island, but NASA thought it reached Mars. Soon after being activated, the camera lens popped out and broke, preventing the castaways from sending an SOS.

The Professor baked a special glue to fix the lens, but Gilligan forgot to turn off the fire on the glue pot. Right when they got the lens to work, the pot exploded and blew glue & Gilligan's feather collection all over the crew and signs. NASA thought they were looking at "Martian bird people".

Corny but funny; a bunch of plot elements came together at once in one big explosion, like reverse entropy. The probe did look like a taller version of the Viking landers despite being a decade earlier. (I simplified the story a bit for TLDR.)

Correction, it's supposed to be "glaring", but blaring works also, as the gaps are so obvious you can practically hear the suckage.

As a practical suggestion, the main screens for their software should have a completely different UI for mouse/desktop versus mobile. For infrequently-used screens, mobile is the lowest common denominator and works good enough, but the high volume screens should be tuned for each if you care about your customers.

So when I curse Gates over blaring gaps in MS Shitware, It's not entirely in vain.

Time for him to go. Google changes software products more often than I change underwear, and nobody will trust them anymore unless a new CEO comes in who clearly promises to have more patience growing software and its legacy support.
