This might just be coz I'm a massive perv & Geek but I love "High School DxD" ( Its better than watching my own DDs in the mirror lol) & "No Game No Life"
Cowboy Bebop is amazing, beautifully written, drawn, and directed. Don't be turned off by the 1st episode which isn't very sci fi and more like film noir cliche stuff. The future world unfolds over the episodes along with the back story of how it evolved though another great thing is each episode stands independently.

There is supposed to be a live action movie coming out at some point in the future. I thought there would be a third season but l guess l am wrong.

Excellent anime!
A.D. Police?
No doubt it's a masterpiece visually and incredibly clever but the non-serialisation of the episodes is its downfall imo, it seems like the plot always speeds up too fast to wrap things up every time.

From The New World is awesome

For someone selling VR gear you have some low visual standards, this looks like someone pointed their phone at a TV set.

This was a great show with a good story line finish. I bet my last double dollar on that

I love the premise here with the mind-body interchange but its really hard for me to get past the drawing. It seems more like something out of Spain in the 1930s than Anime.

My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.

What can I do to preserve my grandmother before she dies?
Wait you're gonna go with "plastication"…
What can I do to preserve my grandmother before she dies?
My grandmother has cancer and even if she makes it she doesn't have more than 5 years to live realistaclly. I believe that some kind of immortality or radical life extension is coming but she isn't going to be able to participate so I wonder if there is something I can do to give myself a little hope if nothing else.
My gran died a couple of years ago and one of the biggest regrets I have is that I didn't talk with her about her life. My advice is spend as much time with her as possible, talk to her, learn about her (write things down if you need to) - and then keep her in your memories. Pass on your knowledge of her to the next generation. That is basically as close to immortality most of us get.
I might be too old fashioned, but since you're talking about your grandma, that might not be a bad thing. Have you asked her how she feels about death? She might not want to be frozen, or otherwise kept from death. I've had to deal with death way too much recently. It's horrible, and my heart goes out to you. But sometimes dying people see loved ones who are already dead. Real, or imagined, I won't know for sure until I take that last trip. I've started to feel very selfish for keeping my sister on life support as long as I did. Personally, I really believe that death is just a transition. Regardless, I think spending as much time with her as you can, and even recording conversations with her would be a good thing. Whatever you choose, I wish you both well.
Record her talking about her life and memories, oral history vcan be an amazing gateway into the past.
Plastication may very well be ready within 5 years and it looks not only better than cryonics but also free of any ties to discredited white rappers.

End of nations: Is there an alternative to countries?
These scientists sure think so
I was disappointed by the article, there seems to be no awareness of distributed systems of governance like bitcoin.
Modern nations are basically about providing a trustworthy authority to govern commerce. Some countries like Singapore are especially good at this while others are left to shake downs like protectionism and arms manufacture under the constant threat of war.
Decentralised systems with no-trust elements (like bitcoin) or a reputation systems (like the one here) are the most logical apparent alternative to existing government.

true this
Here's a good article on this covering city states and other alternatives like floating cities

Sure it's what the nation's call "cyberspace" and they aren't going to allow it to be an "alternative" if they have anything to do with it.
To be fair the governments built cyberspace to begin with.
I don't understand the premise of a nation, when they say a nation competes what does that mean? Is there some kind of contest like the olympics? Who are the contestants representing each country? Who are the judges etc, it's all bullshit trying to describe after the fact people just going about their own lives. Who wakes up in the morning saying I'm representing say Chile today, and I'm going to beat those fuckers in Lithuania?
I don't buy into the no national identity until the modern state bit here, distinct language and culture created a sense of identity to say nothing of constant war with foreigners.
There was an identity like you say but it surely did not map into what we think of as say Italy or Germany, even islands like Japan and England were very regional in thought and a lot of the war was with regional rivals.
I think the hierarchical nature of nations leads them to the same problem as pyramid schemes; the more they grow the larger the disenfranchised base becomes.

A Cryptographer's Moral Responsibility
An academic cryptographer says scientists and engineer's must protect people from surveillance.
It's not much of a moral responsibility, and it shouldn't be. People don't become these roles just to protect people from the government. It's rather inevitable that we'll never achieve full privacy.

It seems Tim Cook is taking it pretty seriously and I applaud him. Apple is in the position to help freedom in a way but no politician could ever accomplish because technology is the enabler of human progress.
I'm not so sure of this, technology is what allows all the surveillance to begin with. To take things to the extreme think of primitive people with no technology and the freedom to do whatever they want, put anything in their bodies, go wherever they please, etc.
This piece is worth listening to, the former head of anti terrorism efforts for the US gov is on Apple's side and besides the says everyone in government besides the FBI is too.
This guy actually compares the situation to the moral responsibility of nuclear scientists in the 1940s. I think this isn't quite a parallel not so much because of the stakes but because he is asking people to go beyond their jobs and become activists where as the 1940s guys (including Einstein) were petitioning existing leaders.
Those 40s scientists were up against something inevitable so they could only stall things a bit, this lot can actually enable.
You don't think twats stealing people's data is inevitable?

{Economics}
Entrepreneurs are redesigning the basic building block of capitalism (Economist)
Article basically says the systems of organization that required corporate scale have been replaced by networks that are accessible to individuals.
Yeah but corporations can use these systems just as effectively, perhaps even more so, and once individuals use these systems enough they organize into corporations anyway - because that's where the big money is.
Article is implying the money follows the system of organisation so while you're spot on with the transitional state we are in now it would appear the corporations have more disadvantages where we are headed like tax and administrative burdens.
What burden? They don't pay shit for taxes and they write the regulations.
bigg now
