A human body is not a cellphone. It is not a understood technology.
That's why research is good.
In fact we know that cell reproduction in a human body is limited to a certain number of cell divisions before this cannot be done again. Therefore, all these tricks will not work in the end.
There is already a cure for the Hayflick limit (that thing you are describing poorly) in Humans, it's called TA-65 and has been around for years. Currently it costs about $600/month per person but the cost will plummet in 2024 when the patent expires. Given the extraordinarily wide-scale potential application and the absurdly cheap cost of production (it is a highly refined root extract) it will likely be around the cost of vitamin supplements.
This isn't to say there aren't other issues to overcome but 3 of the 7 issues in aging already have cures (TA-65 corresponding to the first one on the Wikipedia list.)
But this story perfectly suits Thiel as he thinks in himself as a better or the best human and all other are lesser subjects.
Aside from the fact the story is written by Gawker (they despise Thiel because after years of targeting their political adversaries with smear campaigns they targeted him, then he backed Hulk Hogan's legal campaign against Gawker and Gawker is in the process of going bankrupt as a result,) they don't even comprehend what is being studied - not entirely unexpected from a political propaganda machine organized by haughty idiots lacking a grasp of even basic scientific methods.
What Thiel is studying is the ability to delay aging by cloning youthful cell lines after splicing in DNA from the target recipient to get around some of the SENS issues linked above which things like TA-65 don't handle (intracellular junk, etc.) This is a method which has been proven in every animal trial it has been attempted in and is based on solid scientific foundations.
TL;DR: The people at Gawker are among the slimiest of Human beings in existence who would gladly sacrifice progress for their own egos, political and financial gain. Taking them seriously is a very dumb thing to do.
This seems less about a forced court order they didn't want to comply with and more about the tyrannical douche-bag Steve Jobs no longer being around to control them.
Now as to why the article is meant to make them bad when they are in fact bad, but not in this case - I welcome even the craziest of black helicopter touting tin foil hat wearing people to comment on.
I haven't checked how this works (don't see a direct link to it anywhere) - but from using the demo it looks like the crypto piping is:
Data --> Encrypt by CAPTCHA --> Encrypt by password --> Decrypt by password --> Decrypt by CAPTCHA --> Data
Seems like a cool idea to prevent brute forcing.
Hippies are still worthless fear mongering pieces of crap that would all be just like Charles Manson - if they were that talented in controlling people.
If I was an evil dictator, I would implement all of my worst schemes on April first and no-one would bat a fucking eye.
Well apparently this April 1st is all about political garbage meant to poke fun at the idea of taking away people's rights - little in the way of tech jokes in comparison.
It's not about conservatives disliking homosexuals - most of us in fact do not give a damn one way or another who wants to stick what where and with whom, it's not our business. The issue is more with the trend in global warming to falsify information and base results on faulty models - typically to support liberal political philosophies. Science isn't suppose to be capable of corruption, it has increasingly become more so over the past several decades.
So if the many-worlds interpretation makes it easier to think about the research you’re doing in April, and the Copenhagen interpretation makes it easier to think about the research you’re doing in June, the Copenhagen interpretation is not going to smite you for praying to the many-worlds interpretation.
Well of course not, the many-worlds interpretation will smite you for praying to the copenhagen interpretation - April --> June. I can't stand people that play on semantics to make an argument.

I agree - it is absurd these fucking liberals have taken the right to smoke in public buildings away from us - even the Chinese can do that.
What I remember from thermodynamics when I took it with Newton: pumping energy (heat) into system making it go all kaflooey. Hotter and colder and then even colder to outrageously hot.
Nope, obviously a conspiracy on the part on those people who wrote the laws of thermodynamics in order to eventually tax us and hand over our God given sovereignty to the UN!
Or a conspiracy in your head - aside from taking physics with someone called "Newton" - having no person of note by the name _alive_ before now in the span of the oldest living Human's life - and somehow taking an interpretation from him which lies on the assumption of a read maxwell's demon - I'd go with "it's in your head, hippy" in conjunction with "they compared March this year to April of previous years for a reason and your dumb ass ignored the month chosen entirely"
Grammar, which in many ways is more important, was not even mentioned. I'm seeing more grammatical errors and incorrect usage every day on television and the Internet news media, such as "I seen", "he don't" and "I have went", by supposedly educated news reporters.
Proper grammar isn't a sign of education - language exists to communicate, when the message is understood it is valid - if a grammatical error can even impact the message there are bigger issues at play than the grammar (vocabulary, mental retardation, etc).
I think the bigger question is, "how would you move this process to a FAB"? I don't think it will happen soon, but it seems to me we would need robotic STMs? Research is continuing... I assume.
Nice generic smaller technology quip, but I think you missed the point of TFA and what the posters you were responding to (hint, they read and understood it). You should actually read it, its more about a change in the understanding of physics than new chips.
What is going on here? Amazon is collecting data on what passages we highlight?
What other data are they collecting?
I am going to re-read their end user agreement again before I buy any more books from them.
It's stored on their cloud you dumb shit, of course their collecting it.
Yes, they are words that have specific meanings, and that was the basis of my comment.
For instance to say "By definition, liberals spy on government and conservatives spy on people, so really, your argument falls flat on its face" is not only incorrect, it flies in the face of conservative ideologies. You cannot have a government _capable_ of spying on people if you have a conservative government, the whole fucking ideology is based around limited (ie: CONSERVATIVE) government.

I have it on good authority that researchers in the labs that developed this drug were using Windows on some of their computers!
Well yeah, but only because you can't call anything Apple makes a "computer".
It's not about conservatives disliking homosexuals - most of us in fact do not give a damn one way or another who wants to stick what where and with whom, it's not our business.

Welcome to the future - the cars might not be flying, but they run on shit!
I was making a joke meant to play on the analogy, not a serious statement or argument of any kind - lol.
So if the many-worlds interpretation makes it easier to think about the research you’re doing in April, and the Copenhagen interpretation makes it easier to think about the research you’re doing in June, the Copenhagen interpretation is not going to smite you for praying to the many-worlds interpretation.
Well of course not, the many-worlds interpretation will smite you for praying to the copenhagen interpretation - April --> June. I can't stand people that play on semantics to make an argument.
You are so god damn ignorant I want to kick puppies now.
Just watch the "myth busters" episode it is OBVIOUS they were paid off...
Well, yeah, but only to save Americans the day-to-day stress of knowing the spider-rocks on Apollo 18 were real.

Believe me, there is nothing nice or effeminate about that.
Except the fact it's written in French.
The French should remind themselves that their motto is Liberté, égalité, fraternité, and that all three bits are important.
I'm sorry, but anything said in french is too effeminate to look up too.
I'm sure it would also explain the brutally cold winter that Europe experienced this year. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/02/03/cold-weather-kills-more-than-220-in-europe-danube-freezes-over-france-set-to-break-power-consumption-records/

More easily.
