Not a direct answer, but I highly recommend reading Outlive, by Peter Attia. It's completely changed the way I think about these things. And it's actually grounded in science.

When you're a government, you need a little more process to ensure things are done well (moderation, security, ...). Even something simple like that could take valuable time from quite a few people.

Sad but unfortunately fairly justified. Hard to justify spending public money on 3,500 users.

Just because it's dangerous and not always fun doesn't make it a "mission". Exactly like when some rich schmuck pays 150k to climb Everest.

Can we stop calling it a "mission"? This is an expensive vacation for billionaires, not a scientific endeavor.

 

AliExpress can offer great deals, but it's also very easy to get scammed, receive a cheap knock-off, or even end up with nothing at all. The search engine isn't very helpful, often mixing reputable merchants with sketchy ones and real products with junk.

So far, I've found the AliUp extension, which seems fairly helpful. I wish there were third-party websites with independent reviews, but I haven't found anything truly helpful or comprehensive yet.

So, what are your tips for buying on AliExpress or similar platforms?

How do you explain that amyloid-targetting therapies are seeing some success, even if limited?

I'm not sure but I think some of these drugs can make permanent damage.

Obviously survival remains the topmost concern, but thinking about side effects sounds like the logical next step now that we've made tremendous progress with survival.

Lisp is the only one I haven't learned yet 😁

Rust, haskell, python, c++ are all interesting choices. I would argue that c# is too close to what you already know to be interesting.

If I were you though, I'd pick a project first, then decide what language makes sense for it.

we found that tropical forests can withstand up to a 3.9 ± 0.5 °C increase in air temperatures before a potential tipping point in metabolic function

Not that close, fortunately. There are tons of other terrible disasters that will strike before we reach this point.

 

Is it true that you can only cancel insurance contracts at the end of a calendar year? Do you need to send a registered letter? When?

For telecom services (mobile, home internet), how can you switch providers without too much downtime and ideally without losing your phone number?

Thank you!

It's the best language for debating religion, there is no question :)

Any samples that you can listen to without having to deal with the large queue of people looking to try the model?
