This comment is great. Was the first thing I read today. I believe I am going to go write some haskell to start my day haha
How could the third comment down in a thread be the first thing you read today?

80 is the new 60 basically. Tangent: people think life extension will magically materialize with some singularity type event, but in reality it's a slow creeping thing. The single most powerful life extension technology ever developed is the cardiac bypass, for example.
> The single most powerful life extension technology ever developed is the cardiac bypass, for example. How do you mean that? http://harvardmagazine.com/2013/03/a-cardiac-conundrum > Angioplasty can save the lives of heart-attack patients. But for patients with stable coronary disease, who comprise a large share of angioplasty patients? It has not been shown to extend life expectancy by a day
The rest of the quote is stating the inverse though, that not all angioplasty recipients live longer (converse? meh, you know what I mean). And that it might be over-proscribed. Neither of those have anything to do with it's ability to prolong life in other cases.
