I used it to extract thousands of rows from tables in PDFs and generate enumerations for them in various programming languages. I had to do some pre-processing with the Python script, and review all the output to make sure it didn’t screw up, but it saved me a lot of time.

We talked about the Chinese scientist who modified babies to resist HIV, issues with eugenics, racism, economic disparity, the whole bit.

Dude. No. Any day you graduate is a good day. It took me 10 years. Don’t stop.

If you find a reliable cryonics group, that’s exactly what they do. Alcor, for example, stores bodies upside down in tanks of liquid nitrogen so that if the power and backup power go out, it will still take a lot of time before the corpses defrost down to the head.

1. They store the bodies upside down in tanks of liquid nitrogen so that if power and backup power go offline they still have a while before the nitrogen boils off.
2. Assuming revival becomes possible, it will likely decrease in expense and difficulty as time goes on. It seems likely that at some point people would be woken up just out of curiosity or for a study, once it becomes cheap enough.
