Is there any evidence that there is a sustained decrease in human outdoor activities in areas where wolves have been reintroduced? I kind of doubt it.

Wolves are really shy around humans so I don’t think there is any real threat to humans or our pets (as long as we keep our pets close to us). There is only the perception of threat but humans tend to adopt, and I don’t think this perception would last longer then a year or two and soon enough outdoor activities would resume to previous levels.

Unironically yes. There are simple steps that can be taken to drastically reduce the amount of harm caused unto you and by you unto others and transmission through vaccinated individuals is lowered. We would have been done with this before any variants arrived if stupidity wasn't celebrated.

Since it's too late to genuinely fix now, the best thing that can happen is shaming stupidity. Applying evolutionary pressure to individuals that take bad actions is an incredibly good idea. Making the unvaccinated modern lepers is good for society as a whole.

It's not compliance, it's acting rationally. Politically, I'm not even very far from the group most adamant about not getting vaccinated (card-carrying anti-Democrat, here), yet I still acknowledge that not getting vaccinated is an incredible act of stupidity. People who celebrate stupidity instead of acting rationally in times of plague should have evolutionary pressure applied.

It's too late to turn back time and fix the pandemic by forcing them to act rationally, but by applying pressure to prevent them from having success in society, we can make them much less likely to be around the next time this happens. The society of the United States has been doing things like this since it began quite successfully, and it would be ridiculous to stop doing it now.

> if by phone you mean iPhone , I just checked and it works fine for me in the music app. under search there are 2 tabs, radio, local. local searches local only for me. iOS 15.1

When I use Siri and instruct it to "play xxx", where "xxx" is a locally present song, it often randomly does not play the song but instead searches for it. An example from yesterday or the day before: I have a "Reservoir Dogs" soundtrack ripped from CD. If I instruct my iPhone to "play Little Green Bag", it no longer just plays the song it lists in Music.app, as it always did when it was called iTunes. It offers me the purchase and download of George Baker Selection CD which originally lists this song included in Tarantino's movie.

I currently have iOS 15.02 installed and I do not have nor had Apple Music subscription.

Everyone is introverted in a different way, and actually the best thing is let yourself be introverted for a while and let your mind figure out what’s going on. Note by my estimation this can take 12-24 months, which may be time you do not have. But oftentimes 12-24 months to sort out your psychological limits (permanently) is pretty cheap.

My highschool computer curriculum was basically a hacker school program for web dev stretched across three years (senior year we did VB6). I managed to be impressive because I would dissect web pages to learn their tricks. I think I must be the only one (or if not, at least among the first) in our level to pull off columned layout without CSS. I figured out <table border="0"></table> all by myself, neither the books nor the teachers taught you that. And I did that by reading source code on IE5---developer tools weren't a thing then!

In our second year, one of the exercises was to recreate Yahoo's log-in page. I got closest exactly because of the above. I still feel smug remembering this.

Golden times, indeed. :)

That's approximately the same sort of operation as stealing the engine of a car. Not something you can do in a couple minutes with a battery powered angle grinder.
In Texas, one is allowed to use deadly force against the perpetrator of theft, even if one is not threatened (say the perp is running away) with the proviso, for some reason, that this crime happens at night.

In 2013, a man hired an escort off of craigslist. She took $150 payment, then refused to have sex with him and left. She made it to her car, but he grabbed a gun, ran to her car, and shot her in the neck. A jury acquitted him.

I always cringe at people using reddit or similar places as a way to interact with their customers or users.It's just a bad idea. This is not the same as talking about a product that is FOSS/free like emacs, when the support is de facto entirely community-based.

A forum/ a semi-anonymous board would provide the same utility as reddit does, without all the negative drawbacks(which are and people ignore them).The funny thing is that the solutions for these kinds of interactions multiplied compared to 5-10+ years ago where you had 2-3 forum options.I don't think it's a naming issue, it's a "swipe-down i'm lazy" issue from the low attention span tiktok generation.On one hand people grown accustomed to not try to hack the software at all and ask for help at every step of the way, and on the other hand, that help better be asked really easily.
This is a reasonable proposition in principle. But there are other admission criteria. For example, you might end up passing over a 30yo mother of two for a 85yo nursing home resident, just because all nursing home residents get vaccinated, while still having relatively large numbers of hospitalizations. From the UK covid reports (Table 4), notice how hospitalization raw numbers are majority vaccinated >50yo, with 5389 out of 9831 (55%) cases.

It's a basic fact. If a problem is caused by something that is not related to lack of technology, you won't solve it with a technical solution. This is obvious in any other field (for example, you won't see a doctor that says that drugs could fix poverty) but a lot of tech people don't seem capable of admitting that some problems cannot be solved by technology.

Maybe we disagree about what’s being discussed: “mobile app made with web tech” definitely falls into that category for me. I bring it up because it isn’t hypothetical for me, I’ve received pushback against using webviews in these situations because “web stuff always looks awful” and I know that to not be the case.

In any case the vast majority of native apps aren’t much more that scrolling lists themselves! Sometimes I think we overcomplicate our image of what native apps usually are. The OS-provided transitions between views are one of few big differentiators, IMO.
At the risk of sounding extremely negative…people need to evaluate if existing YC advice is applicable for them.

I've seen him mention this in talks and the example he used was that Leonardo da Vinci was smarter than Henry Ford, but he couldn't build anything he envisioned because he was born in the wrong century. So I think he meant something a bit different, that knowledge of something somebody else solved can be more valuable than raw intelligence.

Wrong. You don't emit photons

Another meaningless statement
> You can spot a mobile app built with crappy web tech, because it is very slightly crappy. An app using web tech well would be indistinguishable from a native one.

I've seen many people remark that they can reliably spot a web-based mobile app, and this response is exactly what goes through my mind. My core rebuttal is that we generally don't get feedback about our guesses - we don't get corrected if we guess wrong about what powers an app. So maybe we'll correctly guess the most obvious cases, but that gives us false confidence about our overall accuracy.

I have a Tidal https://tidal.com/ subscription; there are $10 and $20 monthly levels. They support third-party tools, though perhaps not roll-our-own.

I prefer Tidal to any other service because I can select albums and play them on demand. My wall of CDs sits idle.

I admire Adele for this. I once sat next to a friend of Steve Jobs on a flight; he asked for a drawing of the circuit I was using with my iPod, to bring to Steve. I asked if Jobs wanted his legacy to be "the man who destroyed the album". He was a bit offended and didn't grasp my point. I should have sat next to Adele!

You can dismiss anything because no proof, or you can prove to yourself yay/nay. It took seconds to find the specific texas legislation. It's not like it was hidden. You can then come back and say, "hey i tried looking for this in a websearch, but it was too muddled. got something more definitive?" vs "i don't believe you so the onus on you."
Nothing to debunk. The 71% was clearly meant regarding cases of covid not total ICU beds. I didn't say the ICUs were already full. They are starting to fill up. We don't have a lock down at this time but if the numbers keep going up we will have no choice.

Either way it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated irregardless if the hospitals are full or not.

There are so many of these advice "if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” that are wrong and yet every one keep using it.

1x1 pixel GIFs are still in use on places like Amazon where the 1x1 GIF image is overlayed on top of another (larger) image. It's to stop people right-clicking and saving the larger image to their device (because copyright). Anyways I can just press F12 and 'steal' the image from devtools, so it's not hard to overcome.
That's a self-reported survey by members of a Bitcoin mining council, which represent an unknown portion of the total mining capacity, and if I'm correct the term "sustainable energy" includes "carbon-based energy with net emission credits". It doesn't seem the most reliable source to me.
I'm not sure if such a reduction is possible, in general, without explicitly modeling a map from stack names to stacks (which you could certainly do in the UCC, but it would be quite verbose). For specific programs you can always do a such reduction, of course.

Love the fact that it is open-source and free to use. I can see it being useful for a lot of people who don't want to spend money but know they need to do some form of simple automation using their browser.
I agree. I've recently become interested in the Gemini protocol, but between the space programme, the crypto exchange and various other uses of the word it's difficult to find related content without some extra Google-fu. It's exacerbated by the fact that most software written for the protocol tends to stick with the space theme.

I'm not sure if there's a term for it but it's like linguistic debris. The namespace is being polluted; eventually it won't be obvious what any particular word refers to.
I don't know much about how the brain works, but I know that I appreaciate more the chocolate in a vanilla ice cream with small bits of chocolate than in a chocolate ice cream. I know that I appreciate water more after not drinking it for some time and being thirsty. I appreciate more my parents since I moved out and see them not every day but around once a week. On the other hand, after having spent too much time playing a game (ever over a period of years), I start to not feel any pleasure when playing it.

Given all of that, the ideas behind dopamine fasting make sense to me. I won't claim that it does for everyone of course, but if someone tells me that it doesn't make sense because this or that in the brain, I would tell them that it doesn't match my experience of other things. Maybe dopamine shouldn't be in the name, maybe it shouldn't call fasting, but I feel like the article is attacking the content and not just the name.
If it caused 10% of individuals to have symptoms then they’d detect a p value like those, the other 90% could be pleased as pudding for all the p value would care. I doubt it’s that high, my comment is just that the quoted p value and association does not actually provide any support for the statement

And the first of your sources does say that 7-19% of officers get ptsd but also that 25% kill or seriously injured someone, which is a larger number than get ptsd. so that suggests 6-18% officers kill or seriously injure someone and don’t get ptsd. Assuming the ones that get ptsd are the same as the ones doing bodily harm, unrealistic but conservative, that means half of officers who do that could easily be just dandy.

I'm afraid of running into bears by accident while trail-running in areas with lots of black bears (not even brown! I'm a sissy), and meanwhile I had a run-in with a bull moose on a narrow mountain ledge and had to scramble up the mountain and hide behind a tree.... but I'm still not as afraid of moose as I am bears, even though I know moose are much more dangerous! So fear is weird and often irrational. We should probably assume that just telling people rational things about their fears won't assuage them.
Our product has a similar feature - several buttons in different places which do the same thing. Our UX designer explained that different users expect to find the button in different places, so they put it in all of them.
The reason to avoid running your own forum is because the cost of effort to interact on a bespoke forum is lower than it is on a dedicated one. Subreddits usually ban people from posting who have under a specific amount of points; this stopped the illiterate from posting for a very long time, up until the parent company started pushing the mobile app and punishing subreddits that do. If you compare the discussion quality on a subreddit that still enforces quality posters with, say, Apple's bespoke forum, you'll quickly see why the platform is useful.
Streaming massively commoditized media, and concentrates power in a few companies. I wouldn’t want to be a musician these days. I hate what game subscription services are going to do to indie games in the future
Not really true in my experience for multiplayer games. Pretty much every multiplayer game is CPU and memory bound and any GPU limitation can be mitigated by just lowering settings. Nothing can be done to compensate for weaker CPU performance unfortunately. If I had to skimp on GPU or CPU I would pick GPU every time.
Somewhat related:

I'd like a TUI music player that, when an artist is selected, will order their releases chronologically. So when I hit Play, it starts with the first release and ends with the newest release. Default is usually alphabetical by release-title, which is absurd.

And of course Adele speaks truth: songs on each release should be played in album-order.

While I'm feature requesting into the ether, I want a new control for "Stop/Pause after this track ends", so that I don't have to pause in the middle of a track, and resume in the same place. Instead the song would continue to play as I walked away (and audible, if playing over speakers), and when I returned and resumed, playback would begin in a more-reasonable location than "somewhere in the middle of the track".

Am I alone in these preferences?

Getting an i7 exclusively for gaming seems more for bragging rights on "fastest CPU".

Yup -- it's annoying that Safari does this, but that's Apple for you. Ensuring that webapps have a worse experience than native ones is presumably considered a feature.
