Did I post this in the wrong forum or what? what's with all the down votes?
I didn't downvote, but I don't really see the point of this post.
You don't explain how it's relevant to the interests of people here, and I don't see why it would be.
Also, it's a link without any kind of summary in the body, which people here seem to prefer.
Yeah, don't be discouraged. LW is just like that sometimes. If you link to something with little or no commentary, it really needs to be directly about rationality itself or be using lots of LW-style rationality in the piece. This was a bit too mainstream to be appreciated widely here (even in discussion).
Glad to see you're posting though! You still in ATL and learning about FAI? I made a post you might like. :)
LW needs just a generic link-submission area to give it some of that reddit functionality its missing. Maybe have a third area besides main and discussion which is just for reddit-style img/link submission...
I guess I should add, I assumed life extension and such as being entirely on-topic here. It's kind of an obvious, major interest to any rationalist. To those who have no idea what I'm talking about, go read HPMOR a couple more times or something, jesus.
Also, good list, thanks. I actually don't know anything about functional programming, I'm going to look that up today.
The biweekly Open Thread works well for that sort of thing.
I'm wary of this conflation of rationality and a specific set of values. Rationality is a tool for achieving your values; it doesn't specify what your values should be.
You're just going to blast away the entire epistemic half of rationality? :)
Is making LW more like Reddit a good idea? What if it actually becomes more like Reddit?
You are guilty of nothing except trying to share your squee over this (which I personally think is pretty nifty, BTW, although it isn't very on-topic according to the usual interests of LW) with a bunch of people who think of a decade as a long time and have a severe, cultural case of mortality-denial.
I haven't downvoted this as it's downvoted enough, but you need to explain what the article is about.
Most of us know that there exist 51-year olds and even 81-year olds, so an 81 year old saying "life exists beyond 50" doesn't communicate much useful information.
I still don't know whether there's anything in the article that I'd be interested in reading.
