Sierra Nevadas pretty much exclusively use mountain lion.

Sierra Nevada local here. There are very few events in my life that have been more emotional than the time I saw a mountain lion dead on the side of I80. I don't agree with the article's scare tactics, but I'm all for taking

We have no clue what his costs are. For all we know he loses money each month. There's no faster way to get me to stop listening than to tell me your revenues and omit your costs.

Unfortunately this happens en masse to Asian American students. The discrimination adcoms use against them force them to attend schools that are far too easy for them. This has positives and negatives. They can coast to a great GPA in the m

That anecdote can hardly be considered relevant, no? We're talking about national suicide rates, and you're bringing up a story about a fence that (maybe?) happened at a school in one of the wealthiest districts in the US.

It's also not true. Lenders don't give a shit who they lend to so long as the loan qualifies for insurance by the government or can be sold to a GSE.

I have more empathy for people who are intellectually stunted and now buy into conspiracy theories. They really never had a choice. If the US or their parents had provided them with sufficient education, maybe it would have been different,

It's not entirely clear to me why this is any different from many other sovereign justice systems. I think the point stands that people who obey the 'laws' of their 'government' aren't subjected to random acts

He has much higher standards than me. I just want someone who has my health as her top interest instead of bankrupting me.

Since you have such specific demands for a study that will satisfy your prejudices, I think you should find it yourself instead of demanding other, more resourceful and open minded people find it for you.

That joke was mildly funny when I first saw it five years ago. I’m not sure why you think Hacker News is the right place to regurgitate such a hackneyed, distracting and irrelevant joke.

I don't get the point of this. The SAT is never used by colleges outside of the context of the applicant's background. I have full faith that there's nothing College Board can add to knowledge of an applicant that admissions

It shouldn't be surprising. Nothing about his testimony or judicial history indicated he would be particularly conservative on women's rights.

I've put 50k miles on my prius over the past 6 years, with the vast majority of my fuel coming from out of state. I would be a fool to switch to EV.

“I thought Illinois was progressive and would want to encourage EV ownership.” Illinois just pretends to be progressive because it allows politically connected people to steal more money.

The comment is in reference to how much it can explain the growth in house prices. Vancouver has seen >60% growth in the past five years. So, 5% is tiny in explaining the growth. https://www.rebgv.org/market-watch/ML

I'm more interested in what logic is than what it feels like. I think it's the same logic I'd use if I sat in gum at a discount theater, and the owner responded with "I'll pay for your pants, but only if you never c

I think it's pretty reasonable. It forces people to ask if their relationship with Uber is worth a claim that they're making. If Uber doesn't add $100 of value to your life, then claim the $100.

You act like everyone is capable of doing everything. If ohaideredevs is a world class computer scientist, it would be devastating. The economic contribution of someone who can enrich our knowledge of data science or algorithms is thousands

You bring up possible implications of altering the system, but there's really no way to know without experiments. And with a system as unique as the 2019 United States, we cannot reliably look to other countries or other eras to give u

I don't disagree with this. But sometimes one gang is better than another when it comes to minimizing homicides.

I disagree that it's the fault of anyone other than the process we've established. It's only a recent belief that democracy is a process for everyone to participate in. I personally think Locke and Rousseau were the two best

by kolbe 7y ago
This might not be a coincidence. Police shooting people without due process isn't an ethical system of justice, but it could be an effective way to decrease the homicide rate. In many places, the most powerful gang can only be matched

Your original statement was a response to no one, too. Not sure why you're upset when he did the same. I think it's arguably even fairer of him, because due to your lack of explanation for why you made your comment, he was left to

That's a pretty strong insult to someone for whom you have no idea what he does.

Yeah. I take it as a given that they want to be billionaire emperors, but that is not very relevant. If people are interpreting "want" outside of the realms of what is possible for them to get, then they aren't on the same

The company loses billions of dollars a year paying drivers more than the drivers make for the company. What about this is putting the company ahead of the drivers? If we were talking about a company like Google or Facebook that makes insan

What did Uber drivers "give up"? They want more, and they want more from a company that already gives them far more money than the company makes. They've "never given" up anything.

And I clearly laid out what is wrong with 1 & 3. 1. Uber loses billions a year already, and they should lose more? 3. Health care? You kidding me? That's $300+ a month in the US, which would be a $15 billion/year expense for U

Uber loses billions of dollars a year subsidizing drivers in the hopes that autonomous vehicles or some powerful network effect will save their business. What more do drivers want? Even if Uber gave all of their equity to their drivers, tha
