not to mention there was a TON of variety in hunting practices as indigenous populations vary widely.

here is an interesting book about the subject (on my to read list) https://archive.org/details/ecologicalindian0000krec

Jesus, I agree with Rand Paul. Its fucking scary when he is the reasonable one in a political discussion.

Looks really slick, there are some really nice looking features shown. I do have some concerns though.

First, it requires playstore to be installed. I try to degoogle my device as much as possible so Im not sure this would even work with MicroG Services.

Second it seems like a proprietary software built on Open Source platform. Right now they claim they dont do anything with our data, but that is one policy update from, 'actually the data we have been collecting is now actually worth something sooo....'

Lastly, as a proprietary software company they have this pesky link at the bottom of their page Pricing. Currently it doesnt link to anything, and honestly that has me more worried than if it just showed a page that said we are trying to figure out how to make money off our users, and we dont know how yet. I dont have an issue paying for software I use. There are a couple open source projects I pay monthly/yearly fees to. I just prefer it to be up front. If they said they were open sourcing the code and want a subscription fee, I would be on board. No plan is kinda sketchy.

Isn't this a question of hubris? The title claims that "Rational People Do Worse", but wouldn't a rational person surmise that there is some information/mechanism they don't have access to that the computer does in order to achieve the success rate claimed? In that case the rational choice would be to claim the single box.

The other factor not addressed is the $1k vs $1m. The calculus changes a lot based on these amounts. If it was 10 bucks vs the chance to win millions? that's the lottery. if it were $10k it be a lot harder to walk away from that.

As a thought experiment, its a lot easier to say what you think the answer should be, actually making that choice when there is real money is psychologically different.

I'm spoiled here in CA, we got some really legit spots. Did the birra craze hit the east coast too?

if you look to Chipotle for this "burrito culture" you talk of you are already lost.

the whole idea of a coffee 'break' was created to pump stimulants into workers to improve productivity.

 

I am trying to slowly peel away from Google and my next task is Google Calendar. I currently have a couple shared calendars with other people and I'm not going to be able to break them free from Google quite yet. I have a next cloud server I was hoping to set up to be my primary source but I need to be able to interact with the shared calendars as well. Can I create a group calendar and have other persons, Google Calendar sync to it?

I'm not married to Next Cloud. It was just what I have available. I can do a different setup if that would work better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
