Not the person you're replying to, but according to this site here [0], crustaceans make up $262M or 0.64% of the agricultural export for the UK. Not small, but certainly smaller than other agriculture sectors.
I don't know if using exports is anywhere near the industry totals.
According to NOAA, in regards to US totals[1]:
"Overall, the highest value U.S. commercial species were salmon ($688 million), crabs ($610 million), lobsters ($594 million), shrimp ($531 million), scallops ($512 million), and Alaska pollock ($413 million)."
Most trawlers are owned by small businesses. They have very little lobbying power compared to the massive multinational agricultural conglomerates that control pork and poultry. JBS in particular is enormous, it owns almost a third of global pork processing through it's subsidiaries.
Opposite to many of mood journals (including Daylio), Then is about more than just mood.
First, it’s focused on understanding your emotions through your activities (i.e. there is no way to track mood without capturing what you did) and showing you correlations between them.
Second, it also allows you to capture time spent on each activity and helps you reflect on it, irrespective of the mood (we actually have some users who use Then as a time tracker alternative).
In a way, you can think of it as a tool that marries time trackers and mood journals.
You make a great point that using knowledge is important in actually learning the study material. Personally, those moments of learning happen when I stumble across a problem where I'm applying my knowledge in the wild.
What I've found is that spaced-repetition software lets me keep in touch with information long enough to be able to have those moments more consistently, otherwise I read something interesting, take notes, and two weeks later its pretty much out of memory. By extending the amount of time info is living in my head, I get more chances to use the knowledge and take it to heart!
This doesn't lend itself to everything perfectly well though, I've had luck learning how to do household tasks like gardening, cooking where I'm semi-regularly getting chances to use what I'm learning
If you're stoked for that, then I would be remiss to not say something about Robert Alter's one man translation of the Hebrew Bible.
From wiki: "Alter's translation aims to convey the literary style of the original Hebrew text in English, recreating as much as possible its poetic rhythms and metaphors"
I think many of the Psalms and Ecclesiastes in particular are more beautifully rendered in his translation
Not sure if you've used shortcuts on iOS but a lot of those customizations don't change the performance of anything. The shortcuts on an iphone add a half second each time you use the app, because the icon has to open the shortcuts app THEN open the app the shortcut is linked to.
If adding a sticker to your laptop increased the boot time a fraction of a second some people would still do it, but many would it find it maddening!
"A delay of less than 100 milliseconds feels instant to a user, but a delay between 100 and 300 milliseconds is perceptible. A delay between 300 and 1,000 milliseconds makes the user feel like a machine is working, but if the delay is above 1,000 milliseconds, your user will likely start to mentally context-switch."
I've seen people mod their car in ways that are detrimental to it's performance. I've also known people who have intentionally bought inferior hardware because it looked nicer. In fact I've seen some people wear shoes that has give them blisters but done so because those shoes were pretty.
You'd be surprised at the lengths of inconvenience some people will endure for the sake of aesthetics.
> People who attempt to back up their intuitive knowledge with science seem to be the opposite of trolls.
Consider the difference between seeing if your intuitions reflect science, and trying to justify your intuitions with science.
If you go looking for information that matches parts of your internal biases, can you reasonably say you would change your mind if you found information that conflicted your view? What if ten articles out of twenty reflected your view? What if one article out of twenty reflected your view? I think you should reread the portion of their comment about using science as a cudgel to see why it can be bad to consider intuition the guiding principle of research.
I think part of healthy debate (and its true value) is that the person with opposing views would also present science and data to back up their argument. Instead what we get is an instant fall back to "trolls, arguing in bad faith...". If you have data or research that backs up your position, you definitely should post it and compare it to any other data that comes from the opposing view.
And yes, I would change my mind if I was presented with credible evidence.
I think there is room for nuance between 'concern' about privacy and 'absolute dedication' to privacy, and the tone of your opinion ignores it. You make good points, but I would hope for some critical reading of the original poster's argument.
Data never being completely deleted, and the unending tracking being a slow sort of death of personal freedom is a good point, but I read the point of the poster you responded to as this: We can only do so much to secure our privacy, do effective and easy to implement solutions. If we want absolute privacy, its probably never possible until you cut out massive parts the digital world for yourself, and diminishing returns for your efforts most likely aren't worth it.
