Maybe. But that's contingent on serious life extension possibilities only becoming apparent recently.
Seems like you are interested in living longer. One cool trick to doing that has always been to focus on your health. Are you saying that before recent developments the extension of life benefit wasn't worth it for you? By the way, when you die it's impossible to be "pissed".
It is unlimited if the employee is talented and good at advocating for themselves.
It isn't if they are meek or mid.
In general: it's good to let your employer know that you value your time. If you don't suck, they'll respect you more, not less.
As a percentage of total water on earth, how many of the H2O molecules do you speculate came from comets or industrial processes?
Same question for the biological processes you mention.
Losing to a fire truck is hardly an indictment against a car's safety. Everything loses to a fire truck.
Contract work. I don't take contracts that aren't worth my time and my time is very valuable to me. When my clients blush at my cost, which they sometimes do, I point out that they are welcome to measure my output however they like and to cancel the contract at any time. Most new clients come from word of mouth, which of course is a position of privilege, but not that hard if you do great work.
I think you're generally right that it's difficult to find salaried positions that are properly compensated.

Could you elaborate on why it's obvious why you won't name the account?
Futures markets favor Lula 10:1. Do you have reason to doubt the herd?

OP wasn't arguing your use case doesn't exist.
They were arguing it's uncommon and requires above average competency.
You must be really looking forward to fully autonomous vehicles, then!
> We were all massively into music at the time.
There was something consistent and unusual about your lack of exposure to this song.
I'm 41. I just asked 6 friends who are my contemporaries and each of them knew this song well. It was also, of course, extremely popular, as the link points out.
Can you introspect a bit about what may be unusual about you so that you were never exposed to this song?
I skimmed and couldn't find. Is the baud rate mentioned?
She's not trying to turn this into a career. She's just curious to understand and potentially interested in picking up a new hobby.
My dad (also 72) has been learning to play guitar lately. He's not very good, and his progress is slow, but he's thoroughly enjoying it.

My mother told me her 72 year old friend wants to learn "how to code" and that she mentioned Python. She's starting from zero, so my first thought was that could be prohibitively complicated to get to "Hello World".I'm interested in suggestions about what language/platform/resources I should suggest. Something she could show off to my mom and their friends would probably have value to her.
Your opinion is almost universally disagreed upon by the comments in the article itself and here. Care to elaborate?
> I've seen plenty of very promising electrical and mechanical designs that might have seriously affected their market segment
Like what?
Why couldn't a potential hire be given 5 minutes to think about a solution and then be asked what their plan is? What benefit is added by 36x-ing the time allowed that justifies putting the candidate through such pain?
That is a professional network.
In blind tests it's the same for beer. And colas.
I'm not sure it does. Merlot isn't even the primary varietal in that wine.
There are plenty of tricks to make improving yourself easier. I could list dozens, especially with respect to eating, drinking, and exercising.
As for social media, I'm not aware of as many, and I'm guessing the OP isn't either, which prompted his post.

Viewing is non linear over time. Just guessing but maybe half occurs in the first week nominally.
Many websites won't function until you approve, and why did you ask your original question if you understood the denial mechanic?
