> Would a wolf pack stop hunting elk if they could all just sit down and talk with each other?

Obviously I could not know (unless such a thing were happening and I were there to observe it, which I am not), so I would try to guess. Maybe temporarily, if you actually have something to discuss (rather than wanting to eat). Even then it would probably be rare even if it is somehow possible.

> but meat can reasonably be some percentage of our diet. I prefer a few meals a month that include meat.

Yes, I think so too. Of course it need not be all the time (humans is omnivores and should eat both plants and meats), but a few meals in a month, it can be OK.

> We've killed so many wolves that it is now on us to either give more land back to wolves, removing our fences and livestock, or kill the deer ourselves.

I do think that, you should give more land back to the wolves if they have run out of land (but it is not necessary if that is not the case). Kill the deer yourself is not completely the solution, though, but may be worth if you like to eat a deer. Otherwise, I think that it is generally better not to do and to do something else instead.

> There are already animals I will not eat unless it's necessary for survival. Whales. Wolves. Bears. Raptors. Chimpanzees. The list is fairly long.

I also, but unless it is because they are endangered, it will not be because of a moral reason; rather, just what I eat is something else instead.

The idea GP is expressing is that when a boss says, "I value your loyalty," and a friend says, "I value your loyalty," one is manipulative and the other isn't[1].

The former exploits human biases and the latter doesn't.

Specifically "corporations doing <X>," is always shorthand for "people doing <X>, " where X is aligned with corporate interests.

1. We can imagine scenarios where the converse is true, but what I'm talking about is that hearing this in a corporate setting significantly shifts the priors. Individual experience doesn't invalidate the claim.
Oh, all of that I agree 10,000%

I just got struck with your "I cannot fathom the mind who would ask this question", that's the part that I was hoping you can elaborate, as it goes (to me!:) far beyond "I kinda disagree with this person's conclusion" and reads like "to even ask this very question is a taboo or insanity of highest kind, which my mind would struggle to even formulate!"

Nope. Streaming cannibalized recording sales, where artists got more of that revenue. Payouts for artists on streaming are fractional and arguably opaque than per recording sales (most of the problems of record company contracts & accounting and then a few more to boot). They don't take home the revenue you're seeing here.

We had a missed opportunity to let digital recording retail replace media sales, the Bandcamp model could have been bigger. Spotify moved fast and broke a lot of things and did more goddamned damage to the sector than "piracy" by adopting the fundamental business model with a bit of convenience and veneer of legitimacy.

This is way too true. So many quick changes or fixes at my company have caused incidents, confusion, and more. That 30 minute fix quickly balloons into days of work and unhappy clients.

Even things that don’t blow up on those have so many hidden costs people don’t think about.
I presumed there was. I interpret running someone elses software locally on your computer as "third party".

But, silly pedantry aside, my point still stands. It seems like Twitch doesn't want chats combined, regardless of the mechanism.
wonder why dev culture is so vastly difference from other sectors in that regard. I guess it's because tech is arguably useless as-is except to other experts. And even an expert may struggle whipping up a competitor from scratch (i.e. not copying the code unless allowed). Whereas even the layman can see "good" art and "good" UX.

But it's also not universally true. the acedemia sector of tech doesn't really open source stuff in the same regard. They may have some readable source, but you generally can't use it commercially without consulting the owners. I guess patents change a lot of how you work.

My partner bought the Apple Watch Ultra last year when she smashed her phone and we didn't get around to repairing it for a few days - after a few days she realised she was happier, but still needed to be contactable via call/SMS.

Since then she's never gone back. Her old phone lives permanently plugged in under my desk, and every so often we need to unlock it and do _something_ (which is difficult). It's about 90% an independent device though, and she's happier than I've ever seen her.

We looked initially at getting her a pocket sized camera (e.g Sony RX100) and setting up some form of remote screen viewing/touch to the phone (which seems like a hard problem to solve!), but honestly neither ended up necessary. Once I have the option professionally, I plan to follow suit, or ditch my phone completely ideally.
No, it is Federal Reserve policy, which is very different from government policy, and the way they achieve it is by taking action in the market rather than putting a pen to paper and willing it so (like Congress does) so that you can rest easy that the value of your dollars are (through market forces, once all information has been consolidated down to a price) of reasonable value to the market and not something to be avoided. Other currencies haven't always had it so easy because maintaining a currency's value with only a slight year-over-year increase in inflation (and inflation has not been slight for a bit now) is not easy.

It's also a policy that has buy-in from private banks, given that they are literally bought in to the Federal Reserve.
I agree with the points raised by the article, but shouldn't there also be a push to stop cellular service providers from selling your location data? It's worthwhile to call out smartphone app developers, but ISPs can get your location even if you don't have a smartphone, and in fact are required to be able to report on this by law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_... etc.). Does the EFF just think that it's moot to try to legislate against the latter?
It is a vassal state. They pay for military protection, and have many duties and restrictions as a part of their terms of surrender.

They cannot declare war and must assist in case of war. There are limits in terms of the size of their armed forces. They have foreign bases in their territory.

And, geopolitics is and has always been game-like. With strategy and tactics governing everything.

You just live in the equilibrium reached after one faction won. Pax Americana.

QMUL is an awful dystopia. I gave a lecture there once as a guest
professor and was stuck in a corridor for 30 mins. It's one of those
places where every damn door has a card or keypad access. Perfectly
fitting for a military establishment like Porton Down of course. Not
so much for a university where we're teaching mathematics. So, after
going for a piss, I was stuck in a freezing hallway while the students
wondered where I was and eventually sent out a search party to rescue
me. Completely illegal according to fire regulations I am told. One
should always be able to get out. But that doesn't matter I guess,
because universities think they are laws unto themselves and do as
they please to staff and students alike, treating us as rats in their
little Skinner maze.

Because art isn't a product: it's a process, like science. Art is a form of human expression, where someone makes something they have in their head and want to see brought it life.

If you design movies, or other things, through a committee that's checking boxes on a template intended to meet the requirements for another entertainment product, it's not really art anymore. It's a cynical product.

We've seen a shift from directors like Tarantino or George Lucas, auteurs who were meticulous about ensuring every aspect of the production lived up to their personal vision, to a rotation of glorified line managers serving a committee and being swapped out from film to film. The fact that we call them franchises, the same word we use for cookie-cutter fast food restaurants under the same umbrella, should be a clue.

As much as people disparage George Lucas, he is Star Wars, and the idea that someone else can make Star Wars, or that the idea can be sold, is a bizarre and laughable concept. It's like saying "I exchanged money in the right way, so I'm William Shakespeare now. My upcoming six Hamlets are 'canonical' successors."

“Although if you chat with MD’s about this topic, diagnosing mental health is hard so that isn’t a silver bullet either.”

What are they going to give people a quick blood test for depression? “This person has depression today, they can stay home.” Neither you nor the parent understand what the term “mental health” means. You don’t catch stress or anxiety or schizophrenia like you catch a cold. It can only ever be self-reported because that’s what it is, by definition. If there were an underlying physical condition it would be reclassified as “health” rather than “mental health” as we do for autism, stroke victims, those with brain injuries, basically any mental health problem that can be reliably diagnosed by an MD ceases to be “mental health”

I typically have 2 multipart questions:

1) By looking at the resume I chose a prominent project they claim to have worked on, or for interns / recent grads ask them for about a major project: Please describe in detail what you did on this and what unique challenges? Looking for details and passion about working late to find some obscure problem, or the joy of completion. Trying to avoid the person who just added something that they attended meetings on or similar light contribution.

2) "so you know what a binary tree is?"

answer "oh yes it is a ...".

"Good, you know about balanced trees?"

answer "oh yes ..."

"and a b tree?"

Answer "yes"

"What is the difference?"

?

The answer I was looking for is: "I do not know".

Ideally followed with the explanation, in their own words in the 'Thank you letter'

No. That is a ridiculous question. When artificial meat production scales, I will consider eating that.
If we end unnecessary corn and ethanol subsidies, ethanol production sunsets. The ethanol industry continues to fight for more ethanol subsidies in the face of future volume declines as EV sales ramp. We harvest 40 million acres in the US for ethanol, as a data point. 40 million acres! Think of the downstream impacts of harvesting all of that land (farm implement emissions, petrol based fertilizer production and application, etc) for corn based ethanol that we're then going to try to bolt CO2 pipelines and capture on to.

Lean into EVs and renewables (including PV agrivoltaics when applicable). Lets leave this dumpster fire of ag energy policy handout to farmers behind.

L2Ork Tweeter – synced internet-based co-creation among users
I will assume this is a bad English translation of a Chinese article.

Nevertheless [1] appears to claim that ending the civil service test caused the fall of the Qing dynasty which is complete nonsense. I assume this is just an inept translation.

[2] The claim (in English) is incomprehensible; I assume the author's intention is that when more civil service jobs were awarded more Chinese studied in an attempt to pass the exam.

Overall, I believe the English text of the article is poor. I believe he is arguing the civil service test was all pervasive because over a million people took the test annually in an effort to get a very small number of civil jobs. The test itself could be considered an intelligence test because it required intelligence to memorize and elegantly recite the orthodox answers based on Confucian classics.

If we want to argue what is deficient about Chinese government or culture during the Ming/Qing period, there are an infinite number of other topics. I would argue overall the Civil Service exam is a net positive for China, not a negative. As an aside, I watch some modern Chinese melodramas. These TV shows seem to argue China's past was marked by corruption, infighting among officials, and poison poison poison. According to these TV shows, ancient Chinese politics consists of everyone trying to poison everyone else. There are TV plots that involve multi-factor poisons. By itself the poisons are benign, but when they are mixed via food & incense & medical prescriptions, they are deadly. That is they blame endless in-fighting for China's predicament. The TV shows often feature characters spouting Confucian euphemisms but have no qualms poisoning or killing women/children for political gain. In short, modern Chinese people think past Chinese politicians were unethical and downright evil.

> Sigh. It never was

It was literally called the european coal and steel community originally... It very much was about trade. It still is! Not nessacarily a bad thing but its not like it has an army or conducts other forms of foreign policy right now. It's a common market first and foremost, with most of its laws being product and workplace standards

> It does not have an army.

The prior commenter wasn't saying it currently has an army, and you know that. If you've been paying any attention at all to the news you'd know about the discussions of a common army, especially regarding Macron. 414 Tankbataljon in Netherlands was created as a sort of test, staffed with german and dutch soldiers. The French used to be opposed to this because they wanted their independant army, nuclear force, same with UK. UK left and french president thinks differently, its suddenly a lot more likely.

> It’s not a new country, and it’s not a country at all.

again, I'm convinced you're building a strawman here, nobody claimed its like this now, but its definately going in that direction. There is a ton of discussion around EU federalism, again surrounding macron. I used to be active in a political organisation that supported it, but im not that much of a fan personally nowadays because im disillusioned because of how undemocratic EU is up close.

Those reasons are both related to instances of personal corruption I have seen but also to how I don't agree with the dual parlimentary setup, where elected positions hold much less importance in the lower house, and can't propose legislation. The upper house is entirely unelected and can propose legislation. Sure its members are appointed by in theory elected national governments but I don't think thats a good way to go about things, imo national elections style democracy is already a tenuous way to get the will of the people and each step away from elected positions is progressively worse. I see many people in european parliment patting themselves on the back and laughing about how silly they think american system of electors is while doing an imo even worse system.

There are significant benefits to being a member no doubt, but that doesn't mean its a good system
