Because every ancestor of mine has made the decision to do it, and it is astoundingly presumptuous of me to think that if I have the opportunity to raise kids well that I shouldn’t follow their lead.

Another way to put it: if my offspring keep the strain alive, maybe my genetic code will live to see the end of history.

I now have two kids, and the thing that will overwhelm me with emotion is the fact that I brought into the world beings that will both suffer and die. But I never blame my parents for doing the same.

It is unfortunate that instead of continuing to improve the feed's relevancy with the social graph data, they now have a financial incentive to do the opposite.

Also, how soon until your friends' promoted posts are joined by advertising?

I don't trust software or web solutions to manage files for me in a consistent manner over the long length of time I want to keep things. Software dies, web sites die, but directories are always there.

I use a browser plugin to capture the complete page, then I save it to a DropBox directory with the URL and timestamp included in the file name. The plugin I currently use is "Awesome Screenshot" for Chrome: http://awesomescreenshot.com/
