This is so true, and key. So many people think about themselves and systems in general as being separate when logically there isn't even such a thing, at least not in the relevant context. You're looking at a a system and how it interacts with a larger system its a part of, how does that interaction take place? Well, either both systems are actually one, or there is absolutely no interaction, and looking at both systems at once is only interesting maybe to see what is similar or different between them. Basically, its always all or nothing, part of the whole, or not.

Invalidating conclusions: not particularly; these results suggest that under rare circumstances (in a few sorts of mitochondrial disease), mitochondria can be transmitted paternally. It makes the matrilineal model slightly less definitive, but, overwhelming often, accurate (note that people with mitochondrial diseases rarely exhibit this feature, and are less likely to reproduce anyway due to the disease).

Single Eve: still holds; given the small population size of humans in the past, at some point there was a female ancestral to us all, as other lineages would have stochastically died out.

Human dispersal and Neanderthal-modern human crosses: both have been examined via autosomal DNA. Reconstructions of dispersal may be skewed in the following manner: since we use X- Y- and mtDNA to look as sex ratios of admixture events (such as in modern Caribbean populations, where there is more European male influence and African/Native American female contribution), our reconstruction may be skewed by these selection due to incompatibilities. We expect there to have been some incompatibilities between modern humans and Neanderthals/Denisovans—no doubt some were mitochondrial. But autosomal DNA bears the evidence of our admixture. Likely some lineages (including those with prehistoric-human mt- and Y-DNA) were lost, either due to selection, stochasticity, or likely, both.

Hah, I hadn't seen that.

My friend had one and I thought it was the funniest thing - a cassette tape with a 3 foot wire coming out of it to attach to the stereo minijack output of the cd player.

If they are doing their jobs properly: on-call should rarely wake someone up in the middle of the night. If it does, it's for an once in a blue moon issue that wasn't predicted. This is fixed and never happens again. Then in a few months something else happens, and the cycle repeats.

If they are handling it poorly: they will overwork the poor sap who gets assigned to oncall (in disfunctional companies, this is likely to be the junior-most members, who don't yet have a say on the matter). Things will be barely patched and people will quit.

This is one of those things that you assume is going to happen eventually no matter what. Why not just do it now?

Exactly. The definition of life that is taught in school and widely cited is very limited to simply what we traditionally consider alive. But where are fr he lines drawn? Must life be conscious, or at least experience qualia? Does conciousness get more "real" in more complex organisms? (Is a fly just as alive as a horse is?) Why do we consider viruses to be not alive? Are our own bodies' cells alive? In what way? The system is very complicated and we answer is with a hand-waving simple definition.

I agree with you. I always try to disqualify traffic with price.

Many people optimize for CTR but that's not usually good when you're doing leads and/or sales.

It's easy to write ads that get higher CTR. Then your CPC will usually go down but that doesn't mean you'll get a higher ROI.

So best to focus on CPA not CTR.
I remember installing 256MB of RAM in a DEC Alpha 3000/500 about 2 months into my first job as a sysadmin in 1993. I remember following the anti-static rules like my life depended on it, since that RAM was worth more than my annual salary.
Hi! -tantivy main dev here-.
Do you have a engineering dev blog that disclose information about your backend?
That's pretty much the standard of service with these things. We are going with an S914 running IBM i 7.3 for the next machine.

Interestingly, the old machine has a tape drive that is not supported on the new Power 9 boxes (its a non-LTO QIC drive). I guess the good thing is now I can keep a single stock of LTO-7 tapes. I am a bit odd and have an LTO-7 drive connected to our FreeBSD server for a "last chance" backup.
Hawaii just signed some solar + storage contracts for $0.11/kwh. That's well below any current or even projected next-gen nuclear price points for at least 20 years. And storage is on target to half its costs or more in the next few years.

I guess I simply haven't seen any indication that nuclear can catch up and compete on price, so it's hard to see investors or utilities getting behind nuclear anytime soon.

I keep saying that I couldn't care less if CPU has reached 100% in some random server, if customer metrics are unaffected. It is not an emergency. Same for disk. I don't care if it is at 80% full. Page me if it is going to run out before the weekend ends. Or in a month if it's during normal business hours.

Were it up to me, I'd tear down all these metrics and replace them with the four golden signals.
Wow, interesting! My first real job involved several as/400 machines. If the OP of this blog is reading here, you should try to get a program called "iSeries client access". There are GUIs for administering a lot of the things now. It also comes with DB2 drivers and soforth.

This is what happens when you skim a 48 min talk in 3 minutes ...

> * Speaker appears to be advocating for fusion as a viable technology to solve climate change when no production commercial fusion generation technology exists.

You missed the part where he addresses this. This was the point of his talk -- work on fusion.

> * Speaker states that renewables can't compete with paid off fossil fuel plants. This is false; renewables are already cheaper than continuing to run existing sunk cost thermal generators [4] [5].

Did you miss the 40% cutoff point explained in the video?
Ok, let's turn this situation around.

The most dangerous fires occur at the Urban Wildland Interface(UWI). Instead of spending countless billions in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of a power line fire, in a place that historically has fires, we nationalize not building houses there?

The number of wildland fires will increase.

The number of people living in the UWI will increase.

The number of people losing all their shit in wildland fires, therefore, will increase.

It seems like subsiding this bad behavior is the first thing to stop.

I am not arguing against working towards fusion and funding it with R&D dollars. I am arguing against using it as a Hail Mary when it isn't proven and renewables are.

> Did you miss the 40% cutoff point explained in the video?

I did not miss it [1]. The speaker is incorrect. Solar and wind are already cheaper than fossil fuels beyond that point (I included citations above regarding that point). Renewables have gotten that cheap. This is good, as it strands fossil generators as stranded assets, and forces investment in battery storage (which is necessary not just for energy storage, but also grid services such as frequency response, as demonstrated by the Hornsdale Power Reserve [built by Tesla]).

The bullet, falling from the same height as a crashing drone, is at least as lethal if it strikes a human. There is no "safe weight" for a falling object... but there may be a "safe momentum".
I think the reason to not use roman numerals is because what Roman numeral would you use for B major. B diminished is IV, but B major is not in the C scale, neither is B minor or B augmented, or B sus2 or Bsus4. It makes sense to write it all normalized to the key of C because songs may borrow chords from other keys in similar ways
I haven't read the proposed regulations, but most likely it is a typo and should be 55 pounds not 0.55 pounds. Because the existing FAA regulations have a lot of things that change at the 55 pound threshold.

0.55 pounds doesn't really make sense, such a light drone can barely fly in modest wind and won't have enough battery life to go very far.

Edit: maybe 0.55 pounds is correct. Because that threshold is also used in other FAA UAV regulations. (e.g. UAV less than 0.55 pounds doesn't need to be registered)

Edit2: maybe not, see https://www.apnews.com/1c50bdd96d6244198df93d84c86bf156
The major unknown that prevented this until now was the average age of the people working at the FAA. For a long time any request for something unusual was met with the simple response, "No". The FAA's mandate is safety, and they could justify disallowing new things for the sake of safety. They've finally realized that this is inevitable, and they can't just say "No" forever. A lot of the old guard is retiring, and the newer employees are figuring out how to integrate new technology safely.

My take on this is that people need to realize that they are not an exception to this. _Everyone_ has an ideology that overrides logic for many topics.

I think the reason for this is that our brains just generally don't operate on a rational basis because it's not practical for humans. We have to rely on preformed perspectives when it comes to certain broad perspectives. Another reason is that it's almost necessary to adopt your group's perspectives in order to fit in socially. Or at least it's unlikely you will have a different perspective if much of your information comes from one group.
You route all API requests through the proxy server.

So, say your API is `api.company.com`.

Instead of sending requests to `api.company.com`, you send them to `api-company-com-<BUCKET_NAME>.curlhub.io`.

That's all you have to do. CurlHub will proxy your request to `api.company.com` for you.

As long as your api server is public, and there is a configuration option to change the base domain of the API, it makes it super easy to inspect API requests.

MS has traditionally been a software company, and has a LOT of court experience over the last 40 years regarding copyright and lawsuits when it comes to code and IP.

The post I was responding to was talking about GH in the past and what they might do based on that. I'm just saying there's a recently new owner who might look at it differently, so past behavior might not be the best indicator for this since it's being run by a different corporation now.

I don't get this either. Almost any existing consumer drone over 0.55 pounds could possibly fall straight down onto someone's head and kill them, in an unlucky scenario.

Maybe the requirement is trying to encourage (or allow) the development of drones that are spatially extended/soft, e.g. drones that contain inflated components.
Yes way, and it's not the volume it's the pitch.

Re AWS Linux support, ~free is about right. You do pay for it. At enterprise levels, you're paying a percent of your total bill for support. That can be significant.

But with it you generally get very quick responses to issues, and if your bill is enough, you get a technical account manager who gets paged when you open a ticket. They handle many things, but I believe AWS Linux is in that list of many.

Having the Technical Account Manager is quite valuable.

I created CurlHub as a replacement for the original Runscope traffic inspector, which I loved, but is no longer available.

The biggest difference between the CurlHub and Runscope traffic inspectors, is that CurlHub saves the requests to your browser's localstorage, where Runscope saved them in one of their databases.

This means for CurlHub to log your requests, your browser has to be open.

The decision was made to use localstorage, due to GDPR. Storing random API response data, was not something I wanted to deal with.
