My problem with this study has always been that it takes place in Yellowstone. A huge area that is super controlled and significantly different from the rest of the country.

I think blindly believing we'll see the same results everywhere we throw wolves is wishful thinking.

Guess we'll see how it plays out. As a hunter I'm not thrilled to have more competition for elk and deer, but it's always been (and should be) predators get first dibs on wildlife. What I want is to see the reintroduction and revitalization of the buffalo. You know how cool it'd be to see giant herds of bison roaming all over the wild?

Definitely a case of "good, now go do apple again". The mobile marketplaces being locked down and tied to services is bullcrap. If I want a run of the mill open source android OS and to be able to use Gmail (or drive, or some other Google product ) I should not have to allow Google full access to the knowledge of every app I run and the screen time and my location information... Etc, etc.

But I do think the apple win on a technicality will be revisited at some point.

And to be clear, I freaking do not like Epic. But this fight they're on the side I agree with. Open up the mobile platforms.

This article just reads as an ad for the scanning company.

Also, while it's possibly true, it's based off seriously small sample sizes.

The ironic part is the one place their store is available (PC), it's such a pile of steaming crap that I don't even use it for the free games

Super broad generalization, yes.

That's one of the biggest things valve has contributed to for the Linux community, unshitifying gaming on Linux. Proton does an amazingly good job at working on most games. And steam does a great job of making it easier to use proton.

Now there are always a few problem games, mainly ones that use some crazy kernel level anti-cheat (that doesn't work anyways). But if you're curious look at https://www.protondb.com/

It's fun but definitely busted and janky just like when ASR was released. So many bugs, and kudos to the devs, but also sooo many patches. Cause it's clear they're testing live on us lol

I mean that is slightly better. Still a waste of money. Get enhanced autopilot and leave it there.

Forget the obvious bullshit that is being unable to sell it. What's this about autopilot/FSD not being transferable?

Who the hell would buy this monstrosity of a truck. Be sure not to buy FSD since it will be a lost cost and never recouped for a capability that really doesn't work yet. $12,000 down the drain.

Why should a company get to use my work and data for free to train their AI, for which they'll make a ton of money, without compensating me. At a minimum they should be informing me so I can make that choice with full knowledge.

This isn't a university or educational research either, this is one of the largest companies in the world with Billions of dollars in annual revenue. And to top it off, I already have to pay them for their operating system and annually for their office suite. So not only am I paying them for their product, they'll then steal my data to train an AI to try and sell that to us too?

That's not even taking into account any concerns with "AI might replace me at my job" that a number of folks have.

Yeah, that's not the job of the government. While I agree that the divorce rate in the country is surprisingly high and I personally think that's a bad thing, one partner should not be trapped in a relationship they want out of because "they're not allowed out". If either side of a relationship wants to end it, that's their right.

A judge should not have to determine if a reason is "good enough". And despite religious beliefs, from the government's perspective, marriage is a 2 sided contract that can be ended at will.

If your church or personal beliefs say otherwise, that's up to them. Keep it out of my government.

Still a bit salty after "the fluke season" ended yours?

Bold talk from an Avs fan about people jumping on the wagon. I was at Ball Arena when the whole arena was booing their own team because they were losing.

Grubey might have some consistency issues but he showed up for us in the playoffs last year, and sure helped us shut the Avs down.

Yet the lady doesn't define what ultra-processed is. I have little doubts that eating McDonald's every day is bad for you, but in their study did they include stuff like kraft Mac and cheese, dehydrated mashed potatoes, cereal, etc as "ultra-processed?".

Whole thing reads like click bait with no actual science behind it, would love to see the results of an actual study on the topic too.
