And to think those 50-60 million animals were slaughtered and laid to waste just to starve the natives out of the Great Plains.

It’s simple… harvesting more than the population you are hunting can sustain. A lot of animals outside or deer are regulated through a lottery system, if everyone who wanted to hunt a bear, mountain goat, or cougar did every year, we’d have

Do you think working at a FANG would make you a better developer? I’m sorry but I think that’s a bad expectation, hire from a startup if you want great developers, their span of control and influence is much wider. Most of us at FANG are pi

would you want your services to just turn off when a certain threshold is hit? If so, this problem is solved, set an alarm when cost hits X, use that alarm to trigger a Lambda to turn off the unwanted infra. AWS provides all the tools you n

This should read “autism CAN make travel a challenge”. Mine doesn’t, travel isn’t hard for me, frankly I see a lot of people getting more stressed and anxious about travel then I do. the blanket statements people make about these things lik

If memory serves me well, I think some guys in Florida found out how many times they could do it and got busted for fraud against the delivery companies. System caught the anomaly, humans investigated, law enforcement made the arrests.

Some of them are using TT to sell those illegal drugs though. ;x I’m always amazed at how many accounts openly sell drugs, I report them, meta says they are ok.

Not sure what your point is. If you rely heavily on Google search traffic or ads, and get banned you are in the same boat. Id say it’s still correct, because the point OP was trying to make is, don’t run a business that can fail entirely be

Not really, it’s got a very complex set of regulations, they are just dang near impossible to enforce. Source: worked in that industry for almost 20 years.

Regulating adult entertainment doesn’t work well, never has. They sites will just move their Operating jurisdiction and move on. The only entity possibly capable would be the card issuers/processors.

Spitballing here… it could have been a test to see how easy they could get a digital currency into common use. The idea of a digital currency offers the Fed a lot of advantages… no money laundering, traceability, etc. it could actually adva

You can use these “features” to hijack accounts too ;) I’d call them bugs, but they’ve been reported and didn’t get fixed.

I hadn’t used a burner in years, last year my phone broke on a trip and I just wanted to grab a phone, to get me through the week. I can say it’s not like it used to be! Can’t just grab one at the gas station and pop it in a phone. Gotta g

In addition to logging grazing was also happening throughout California, even in the high country for hundreds of years. This also decreased fire risk by eliminating fuel.

I don’t know anyone working on wildfires in the United States for free. Not saying there is no risk, but they are paid and understand the risks. Some nice neighbors have their own contract fire crews, which are not cheap.

I used iron.io for years. Sad story there I think but I don’t know the details. Seemed like Great service for years then it kind of fell off, the service still worked thankfully. But no new features, and support would take days.

I dunno, it seems like the judgement is sound to me. I’d place that error on the offending party, not the enforcing body. Company clearly wasn’t paying attention to the books nor the harm their use of technology was causing, and thus got th

Fair and valid points, it’s been years since I played magic but I agree an LLM would Be very useful in reading the cards and possibly then getting into understanding strategy based on that context.

I think Yahoo fantasy sports and others in the space are doing amazing work on this idea. I wonder if an LLM is even necessary for this, it’s mostly maths. Analyze past winning decks and made decisions based on performance.

Correct the mining itself isn’t too terrible. But is it not likely a local refinery will follow? I don’t think shipping ore to Australia or Malaysia will be cost effective.

They will have to have room to refine as well as store most likely toxic tailings and byproducts. Coal is easier, just fill the hole back in (or don’t) and leave when it plays out. Rare earths, still have a massive clean up needed. Which ba

They could be, but that creates taxable events and other issues/complications/liabilities. Easier to just avoid and be clear of it.
