Wait this doesn’t make sense. They own the code I wrote for them. The ‘subscription’ is for future updates of that code. They can keep the version and never update. If I quit they still have what I wrote.
This is just assuming that the offspring survives just like the parent and reproduces.
If the offspring requires parenting, the parent, once an offspring, also required parenting and so on.
This is not moving the goalpost, it’s doing the similar things adapted in some ways for the environment every generation.
I assumed you were talking about humans. For salmon, the definition of a successful reproductive cycle is simply reproducing. For humans, it takes longer and requires parenting. But genes don’t get selected away when it’s passed on to the next generation.
If your offspring does not survive to reproduce, your genetic lineage disappears, therefore ‘failed’. Others who do not kill their offspring will survive and the species will therefore not exhibit that behavior nor enjoy the benefits of that behavior.
The idea for eternal life is to live with your 18 year old body at 200 years old, not like your 90 year old body now.
I don’t see why we shouldn’t work towards being healthier and younger for longer. The urge to survive is built into us and we can develop the means to achieve it.
There is no more evolutionary pressure on lifespan after you have children since you have successfully passed on the ‘aging’ gene.
We used to live much shorter lives, being able to die of old age was rare, therefore, no selection.
If we start to have children at 90 years old we may be able to double our lifespans (while the ones that are unable to reproduce earlier will not pass on that inability).
There is no cheating, since we could not modify our genomes and give ourselves superpowers. We cannot live forever because there was no need. We won’t die before we can successfully reproduce.
It’s like saying we should tax how stuff is transported based on how fast a human walks and how many humans it takes to transport that kind of size and weight.
We can set this metric before the wheel was invented where we could only carry stuff on our backs.
Anyone with a brain would know it's illegal, just like anyone would know selling weed is illegal unless you own a dispensary, and can get a really harsh sentence.
Yeah he hacked minecraft services to generate a profit when he was 19 or 20, I wish I could do that when I was 19. I dont think I would have known better at the time either.
He's as responsible of taking down Dyn as Mikhail Kalashnikov is responsible for all the people killed by the ak-47. He simply open sourced a tool for other people to use however they like.
He took the plea to reduce the sentence and the legal expense.
I personally know Paras. Brilliant guy, really fun to hang out with, and learned a lot of technical knowledge from him. He was my go-to guy (like a lot of other people in the class) to help me fix the programming problems that I can't fix quickly.
I think he hacked the school for the lolz.I dont think he even thought it would be this serious when he did it, with feds and possibly jail time. He probably just wanted to see what he could do.
Even finding out about his involvement in Mirai today, it still doesnt change what I think about his character, or his ethics. Knowing this now, I think he'll become very successful very soon.
