That's interesting, so I searched for more information.

Does the plaque actually say Seattle or just Washington? What I found [1] suggests the squirrels were introduced around 1909 and came from Washington DC, bought from this guy [2].

Here's a summary, but read the article I linked. I'm leaving out lots of interesting details.

Unlike Seattle, the problem in Minneapolis wasn't that the native squirrels didn't like the trees. The park had plenty of native red squirrels.

The problem was that Theodore Wirth, the park supervisor, hated red squirrels. He thought they killed too many songbirds, and he loved songbirds. Red squirrels did occasionally eat songbird eggs but the actual main threat to songbirds in the park was humans.

Red squirrels are also very territorial and aggressively defend that territory. They are happy to live off the food the trees provide so don't really warm up to humans. Instead they yell at humans to try to drive them away.

Grays love to eat all kind of things, and so quickly come to see humans as friendly bringers of all kinds of food.

To address this perceived red squirrel problem Thomas ordered park police to execute all the red squirrels and brought in the Eastern gray squirrels.

The grays adapted so well that by the 1930s some people were complaining:

> They adapted to city life so eagerly that by 1930, the Tribune was lamenting that Loring Park's squirrels had become spoiled "cream-puff squirrels" that bore little resemblance to their ancestral "true" gray squirrel of the American wilderness.

> "Any day in Loring Park a squirrel may choose between ice cream cones, cake and a dozen kinds of sweetmeats, or enjoy all of them to his capacity," the Tribune reported. "Instinctively they still store acorns from the old oaks. But it is a lackadaisical effort."

right exactly, it is superior in Locality of Behavior (LoB) terms because the behavior of the tag is apparent by only looking at it, whereas in the jquery example the behavior is in code that is located elsewhere.

It is also inferior in Separation of Concerns(SoC) terms.

These two design principles are in conflict and the reason I invented the term LoB was to help people, like myself, who prefer locality to argue for it effectively in software design discussions.

Yup. If you DON'T have this feature, you're depending on every user who has TOTP 2FA to actually save their backup codes somewhere they can retrieve ~years later or back up their TOTP some other way manually. Naturally, most users will fail to do this, so you'll have to deal with how to securely reset the accounts of people whose phones got lost or destroyed.

But then if you DO have it, you have to deal with the situation in this story, where if you can compromise their one key account, you get all of their TOTP codes too.

I agree fully with [1], having recently experienced the pain of implementing a custom drag-and-drop UI in React.

I ended up using ref's heavily to avoid stale closure and async re-render issues. Which basically amounts to circumventing React and interacting with the DOM directly.
Except that it's not just "providing information" as it does not supply information to both the buyer and the seller. In a stock market, both the buyer and seller see the range between bid and ask, and historic prices are readily accessible. That is very much not what RealPage was doing, as it exclusively focused on providing pricing information for landlords from other landlords, enabling them to collectively increase prices without informing renters.

I am using neomutt + mbsync that gets rsynced to my backup server once a week.
I’m not a fan of Spotify but I don’t want to give up community playlists/discovery features. Also Spotify works with everything. If it has a speaker and any kind of App Store (or even “only blessed developers” App Store, aka infotainment systems and the like) then there is a Spotify app.

Apple Music is the clear alternative (for me) but the last time I tried it (to be fair, it was 4+ years ago) I hated the UI. Also, integrations with other devices were hit and miss unless you were using AirPlay. Nowadays Apple Music might fit my needs nicely so I should give it another shot.

I will never listen to a podcast on Spotify (they are a cancer to the podcasting industry, anyone who cares about the podcasting medium should not be using Spotify for podcasts) and while I have less of a aversion to their audiobooks I already have my workflow for audiobooks that I love (Audible->rip->Plex->Prologue).

Maybe I’m the weird one but I _hate_ having music, podcasts, and audiobooks together in one app. I want to switch between these 3 things picking up right where I left. I can open Overcast and hit play and pick up on the last podcast I was listening to. I have a lock screen complication to launch Prologue and pick up where I was in my book. And for Spotify I can start listening right where I left off in a playlist. The idea of combining those into 1 app sounds horrible.

It also fuels the income inequality with a fatter pipe in every iteration. You get richer as you move up in the supply chain, period. Companies vertically integrate to drive costs down in the long run.

As AI gets more prevalent, it'll drive the cost down for the companies supplying these services, so the former employees of said companies will be paid lower, or not at all.

So, tell me, how paying fewer people less money will drive their standard of living upwards? I can understand the leisure time. Because, when you don't have a job, all day is leisure time. But you'll need money for that, so will these companies fund the masses via government to provide Universal Basic Income, so these people can both live a borderline miserable life while funding these companies to suck these people more and more?

I wonder if we're entering an era of social stagnation, caused by screens. Before screen-based entertainment was so ubiquitous, young people (teens and young adults) experienced a lot of boredom, which pushed them to do new things. Many of those things were stupid and bad (drugs etc.), but some of those kids decided they were ambitious and wanted their life to be above ordinary in terms of achievement and impact on the world. Today, there's less room for such thoughts to even emerge - and if they do, they have to compete for mindshare with addictive entertainment on a daily basis.
Utter nonsense. Productivity gains of the last 40 years have been captured by shareholders and top elites. Working class wages have been flat all of that time despite that gain.

In 2012, Musk was worth $2 billion. He’s now worth 223 times that yet the minimum wage has barely budged in the last 12 years as productivity rises.

i have a question for you, in which ive asked many philosophy professors but none could answer satisfactorily. since you seem to have a penchant for reasoning perhaps you might have a good answer. (i hope i remember the full extent of the question properly, i might hit you up with some follow questions)

it pertains to the source of the inference power of deductive inference. do you think all deductive reasoning originated inductively? like when some one discovers a rule or fact that seemingly has contextual predictive power, obviously that can be confirmed inductively by observations, but did that deductive reflex of the mind coagulate by inductive experiences. maybe not all deductive derivative rules but the original deductive rules.

If you use Thunderbird and want to store your emails "in an email file format that's most efficient for backup and querying that backup later", have you considered switching from mbox (Thunderbird's default mail format) to maildir (each email stored in its own file)?

Note: Thunderbird lacks full support for maildir. This is the reason why I switched from Thunderbird to mu4e (an Emacs-based mail client) years ago. Though, some Thunderbird users say they've been using Thunderbird with maildir for years without issues.
You should try to steel man this.

For example, were these laws created in response to recording devices being invented or becoming widely used? If so, could governments have a legitimate interest in establishing and enforcing generally expected standards of behaviour in order to maintain levels of trust in society?

This happened to me. I bought a pair of headphones (Nuraphones) on ebay, only to have them bricked by the company remotely.

IIRC, they had a security hole on their payment page: they forgot to implement SCA (strong customer authentification, aka 2FA for payments). Had they done this, the liability would have shifted onto the bank/card issuer. For some reason they decided to go after the customers in vain resentment, were acquired and their product was discontinued.

I was in eighth grade at the start of the pandemic (college freshman now. Insane how the pandemic was 5 years ago). For a lot of people like myself, it was when I got into programming and found my career. However, I know lots of other people who basically sat on dopamine loop apps all day.

There are enough possible card sequences that you might be concerned about your source of pseudorandomness failing to exhaust the space. Simulations can give you very misleading results when that happens.

Even if you do have enough entropy, 30 million trials is definitely not enough.
Decentralization of media reporting played a huge role in this. "Don't do your own research" and "trust the experts" manipulation were pushed too far.

People lost faith in anything government related. This could also be a bad thing since people may stop caring about those agencies, which could in theory allow them to do even crazier things since they already burned all public good-will so they might as well YOLO it and hope that politicians and big companies protect them.

Neither. I have no desire to work for Spotify. Never worked there myself. I do pay for their service. I find it okay, perhaps a little expensive.

You may think I am excusing Spotify, but I am not. At least not really. I am just completely unsurprised that people listen to bottom of the barrel musical slop as background noise and are okay with it.

Spotify was smart that they figured out to give people what they wanted in a way that costs them less.

But people in this thread act as if Spotify is committing a crime, using some very charged language. My approach is from another angle - if users are legitimately listening to crap, and they are alright with the crap they listened to, why are we making a fuss about it?
Well that's not actually the point. It's heavily focused on preventing deplatforming creators.

There is much more to monetization than AdSense, which is adblocked away very frequently already. If it wasn't already removed by YouTube for saying something pg-14 or falsely copywright striked.

I’ve been looking at it more from an ecological angle.

“We have tied all of the smooth functioning of society to producing new technology” — this implies it was a deliberate decision. Whereas in reality, there’s a selection effect where leaders who embrace technology the most aggressively simply get rewarded in money and power, and they go on to promote accelerationist views with that power.

With the logical conclusion that people are increasingly treated as resources to be harvested by technology.

I don’t know the answer, but I refuse to accept determinism (despite not believing in free will, separate conversation), and I think that framing this as an ecological competition between species — humans vs machines — is clarifying.
Everyone has better music discovery than Spotify. Tidal is the best but their ui is the worst apple is ok and Spotify just pushes garbage that the artists label payed to push, mixed in with songs they know they won’t have to pay the artists anything for.

>>Productivity gains increase the standard of living for everyone.

>Productivity gains of the last 40 years have been captured by shareholders and top elites. Working class wages have been flat...

Wages do not determine the standard of living. The products and services purchased with wages determine the standard of living. "Top elites" in 1984 could already afford cellular phones, such as the Motorola DynaTAC:

>A full charge took roughly 10 hours, and it offered 30 minutes of talk time. It also offered an LED display for dialing or recall of one of 30 phone numbers. It was priced at US$3,995 in 1984, its commercial release year, equivalent to $11,716 in 2023.

It might be stretching it somewhat, but I think video games, social media, and religion can manifest a habitual need to indulge, negative effects from doing so, and negative effects from not doing so. Perhaps not in most people.
