The controversy about human paternal leakage was summed up in the 1996 study Misconceptions about mitochondria and mammalian fertilization: Implications for theories on human evolution, which was peer-reviewed and printed in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[15] According to the study's abstract:

In vertebrates, inheritance of mitochondria is thought to be predominantly maternal, and mitochondrial DNA analysis has become a standard taxonomic tool. In accordance with the prevailing view of strict maternal inheritance, many sources assert that during fertilization, the sperm tail, with its mitochondria, gets excluded from the embryo. This is incorrect. In the majority of mammals—including humans—the midpiece mitochondria can be identified in the embryo even though their ultimate fate is unknown. The "missing mitochondria" story seems to have survived—and proliferated—unchallenged in a time of contention between hypotheses of human origins, because it supports the "African Eve" model of recent radiation of Homo sapiens out of Africa.

Ha, not so silly now, is it?
I’m using Wipr combined with NextDNS. It doesn’t block these by default, but I added the accounts.google.com domain to NextDNS.
I did a test drive of a bunch of EVs, and Hyundai makes the Ioniq which I was referencing.

I found that the ford mustang EV and Ioniq had about a %20 worse driving experience than a several year old tesla model 3 LR, and tesla did have a bunch of things that were better. But that also came from being years ahead in making EVs and having a more refined product and driving experience as a result. Driving all the v1 EVs made me realize that they were close, and in a few years they'll probably catch up to tesla on the driving experience. Will they be able to make nice software like tesla will? I'm not so sure.

Mercedes and BMW sell their EVs even more expensive than tesla in many ways too, so their price category is different.

Also cars after a certain point are way more commodity, they wont be able to differentiate like apple does with their products nearly as much.

And that supercharger network advantage will go way in 5 to 10 years too.
> Yeah, but Kickstarter always marketed itself as being synonymous with crowdfunding.

I think this is really the crux of the issue: That there are these quasi-monopolies for certain online services.

What's possible in crowd funding comes down to what Kickstarter does. Expected behavior of a search engine is what Google does. The standards of an online dictionary look like what Wikipedia does. And what microblogging looks like is now determined by Elon.

If in each area there was a small ecosystem of, say, three to five different players, they could each find their niche, competing on something like leniency towards such projects like Unstable Diffusion, or on how to interpret free speech etc and the users could choose the service that suits their own standards.

But since for many popular online services there is effectively a single go-to site, this one site gets to set the rules that everyone has to play by.

So how do we get more variety? I don't know. It seems to be inherent in how this market of online services works that there's always one who ends up with 99% market share.
For those who haven't played with it, 8bitworkshop is a hoot. It's a real and shockingly sophisticated attempt at a modern web-based IDE for ancient platforms, with sample code for each and an integrated emulator.

It's also... I dunno, kinda cheating, it feels like. Some people had to read dot matrix fanfolds of files we grabbed off of BBSes or stacks of photocopied manuals from friends to learn this stuff. Now they have tooling that points out that the whole platforms have the complexity of... I dunno, beginner CSS tutorials or whatever.
I agree with all the points in this post.

And, I love NixOS. It's really special and very different than the other Linux I've used for 20 years.

I have been curious to try Guix at some point. Does anyone know if there is a good comparison write-up?

Also, can anyone speculate why the community has had such a hard time documenting this incredible technology? There are great posts like this from Xe: https://xeiaso.net/ but not generally getting started guides that are up to date. Why is this so hard to do? I mean, I'm not doing it because I personally feel like everything I do to get something working on Nix is a quasi-hack and not the standard and most up-to-date way to do it, so I'm hesitant to share. But, surely there are experts that like to write. Is this a problem with a simple technology solution (choose a better documentation tool)?
I bet they are carefully looking at the Ukraine war and observing the actions of the West, and the effect it has - and use this information in their planning.
I was interesting that to some people (not me, though) a stadium is a public good and this worthy of public tax dollars to support. Just like the police or schools.

Ask HN: What is my next best step?
After nearly 4 years of being self taught, I am curious what my next best step is to pursue a career in technology.

My passion to get into the industry is at an extreme depth. I am well rounded in many aspects (more so a jack of all trades type [Full stack]) although I feel like I know nothing, which I hope is a normal feeling as there is unlimited knowledge to gain in the industry.

I have remained in an operations style position because I am able to work on small personal projects that make my job/life easier.

I have boosted and buffed my resume to the best of my ability (without flat out lying, lol) to say “I have quite a bit of experience”, while also saying I don’t have experience in certain aspects (teams, meetings, anything involved in a programming specific environment).

I have some good certificates I’ve grabbed just to show ability, I will soon begin to pursue a security cert or two as I have interest in the area. My major experience is in commercial sales, operations and service management.

I know there is more a could mention but would love to hear any available insight from industry professionals based on what I’ve provided.

Thanks, HN pals.
Writing is both an art and a craft but like every skill it improves with deliberate practice. It means having an idea of what good writing is - so most likely taking a course or being trained - actually writing a lot and having someone skilled criticise and correct.
I know, I know. But look at the difference in price worldwide of developers (it's so much more than 10-20%). Think of the 10s of thousands of engineers paid insane starting comp to do feature-work at the tech giants. I don't know, but I think this may well become a thing of the past in the next decade.

"You can only ever be as good as that which you read." I disagree. If your statement was true, progress would never occur. Obviously writers can learn by reading the writing of other good writers, but the are not bound by what they have read. The ability to exceed is always present.
>"China has no economy without the West."

Loosing West as a trade partner will really hurt China but it will not be the end. There is the rest of the world to trade with. China is building trade with Africa, South America, Asia etc. etc.

Besides I do not think a real decoupling will happen bar some major catastrophe. It will be as much economic disaster for the West at its current stage as it will be for China.

As energy importer China can rely on Russia, SA and other oil rich countries whom the US does not love very much. So I'd say they're safe in this regard.

>"The way Ukraine/Russia conflict is going is likely giving them pause."

I do not think China even needs this example. They can just simply wait.
Not challenging your prediction, but what is the argument in favour of a CBDC in that scenario? How would it be marketed?
A 100% salary boost is pretty large.

If they are doubling your salary at the start up your compensation at your previous role is probably at about the bottom or even below the bottom of what you would make on the market if the startup goes bust.

If the economy gets so bad that you get laid off from the startup and (seems unlikely at this point) that you would be unable to get any job at your current low salary, there is a decent chance you would have been laid off at the first job regardless.

I would say go for it, completely ignoring all quality of life variables like work life balance, getting along with your team, doing interesting work, and so forth. These things matter a lot as well so it's worth thinking about those. In terms of money it seems like a no brainer to me.
There’s a percentage of people who will watch a movie with a plot they don’t particularly care for due to lack of better options. You discount that sometimes the market drives viewership by constricting choice. Some decide that a barely acceptable movie is better than no movie. Thus is one of the problems of oligopolies; the incentive isn’t for improvements but for what is barely acceptable.
Good point, perhaps they don't take the lead in volume, but in the gain of market growth vs Tesla.

I think a huge number of people aren't up on Elon's antics as you think. Eventually, over time they will. I'm saying while Elon may be at peak crazy, we're not at the general population knowing that.
As originally used by Petrarca, “dark ages” referred to ignorance and lack of civilication compared to classical antiquity.
Taking a quick glace at the articles, I think it's the opposite, DDR5 protects data at rest only, because they want to make the chips so unreliable it can't work without it, not the bus.

But in practice, it will probably be more reliable than DDR4 without ECC, since now you need 2 cosmic ray flips, or 1 plus a manufacturing defect flip, and the defect flips will probably be uncommon-ish.

It's too bad data in flight isn't protected without old fashioned ECC on top of that, but it will probably be a big step up, the same way that flash memory is now very reliable even though the actual uncorrected errors are probably worse under the hood.
The US should simply mirror the types of controls placed on US-companies by the CCP, force them to promote anti-Chinese/pro-US content and censor pro-China/anti-US content, as well as to curb the reach of content discussing divisive/controversial topics that pit Americans against each other.

If they decide to close shop after that you would achieve the same goal while publicly demonstrating what their true motives have always been.
We are in the EU and are looking for Java/Kotlin Devs in case you want to send over your CV (openresearch.com).
There are a few other cities that have done and are continuing to do well such as Manchester, but the North East continues to decline, Liverpool is betting that being a Freeport (again) will save it (it won't), Birmingham is just a bit rubbish, Wales is independent enough from Westminster to be ignored and not independent enough to change its own destiny, and Scotland (or the SNP) desperately wants to leave the UK, rejoin the EU, keep the oil, become a wind, wave, tech and finance powerhouse and also have a rainbow sparkle unicorn pony. It's not a great picture.
Agreed - I have been doing the bare minimum by avoiding Marvel and Star Wars, but people simply seem to love franchises.
Sure, but then China would gain practically nothing while taking a huge international relations hit.

I only try new things if i really need them ... nothing in advance because often it's useless because you forget it so quick.
I also read about new features in CSS from time to time. So I remember what's possible with actual browsers. In new projects I try to incorporate new CSS features if they fit and if it's useful ( caniuse.com ).
Becoming better in CSS is always exercise on real use cases.
What you also can do is to solve others CSS problems. Maybe you know someone who has CSS as an arch enemy so you can say that he can call you if he has problems and you can try to solve his problems together.

This helps a lot with understanding and getting better.
If you disconnect the server without a plan, you are likely to miss downstream results if they occur. Better to treat it as a science experiment and have a plan.
It’d be nice if, when I logged in to a site, my browser would casually mention if the pw is reused, or not. Now-a-days, I just habitually check my pw on login to make sure it’s random. For the SO & kiddos, I manually reset all the financial & identity defining pws (Google, Amazon, FB).
I hate that one of the results of that arrangement is that 50% of news search results are the MSN version of articles posted elsewhere. Another 40% of the results are the Yahoo version of an article posted elsewhere; I assume that's not a Bing thing, but it's a bad thing.
Interesting to ponder. Three questions that come to mind if this were to happen:

a) Would the humanity chatbot have an opinion of its own? Or would it purely be an amalgam of many opinions and facts?

Given (a):

b) How would it incorporate a counter position I provide? Presumably the humans who fed in the original counter position would not have been convinced, does it run new ideas by a sample of humans to get input to help judge relative merit? Would it have the ability to counter sabotage?

Given (a) and (b):

c) Would there be a multitude of humanity chatbots or just one (think the Borg)?
It's an utterly useless mode though unless you add your own confusing extra stuff. It was probably a bad plan to make that the default.
YOU are not the problem. The individual has ridiculously low power to influence corporate decisions. Individuals may desperately want high quality moving media, but those have lower expected value than "sure bets" of franchises. Art has become dictated by demands of MBAs and shareholders.

Also look at FIFA World Cups right when they were formed versus now, same exact tournament and participants, but the modern has become completely filled with "value" through ads.
My one prediction:

Digital media companies continue to decline as money, attention and talent migrate into climate tech.

There will be several multi-billion dollar deals or acquisitions or exits in the climate tech space despite a supposed tech “recession,” and even the saltiest HN commenter will realize a global transition away from fossil fuels involves a TAM in the trillions of dollars.

People will realize that putting pictures and video on a website is actually pretty easy and boring, and the “tech industry”, especially in the SF Bay Area, will pivot to actually developing novel hard technology.

SF will be drowning in empty PDR space, and the Board Of Supervisors will finally start enforcing the vacancy tax, forcing landlords to lower the rent.

That, coupled with the Twitter bankruptcy and further rounds of Meta layoffs, will mean lots of bored, smart people will have room to experiment in a way we haven’t seen in over a decade. The renaissance will seem obvious in hindsight.

Meanwhile, “tech” people who moved their dumb crypto laundering startup to Miami will continue to sink, literally and figuratively.

It seems like it should trend more and more that way as time goes on. I like new things, variety is the spice of life after all. However, a natural part of that journey is disappointment and lots of middling enjoyable experiences, be it food, movies, or anything else.

That said, once I have found a good thing (Star Wars) I want more of that good thing in addition to new experiences. I am enjoying the new take on Game of Thrones, the new take on Lord of the Rings, and really looking forward to the upcoming new take on Harry Potter (hog warts legacy). As more time passes the tried and true franchises should continue to produce while new things are tried on the side in an attempt to build new franchises.

They rich subvert the masses by taking control of the media and controlling the narrative. Democracy is a sham because there is so little access to good information on which to base one’s vote.
That's fascinating difference in perspective, because I wouldn't even think of protesting Kickstarter under those circumstances, despite having been pro-encryption activist most of my life.
It does really, and that's why it doesn't work as well in this current environment.

Mastadon is a DIY app/platform, which constitutes one of any number of implementations of ActivityPub, which is the underlying protocol, and can speak to any of the other implementations without limitation, save those imposed by the protocol and self-imposed by the two implementations currently speaking to each other.

There are multiple types of SMTP/POP/IMAP servers out there, but they all implement the same protocols, which means that my email client can reach your email client no matter what our clients, or the servers we connect to, look like. This is how the internet works; platforms will always be a limited subset of this fundamental reality. It's also how ActivityPub works, you can wrap whatever user interface you want around it, Mastadon or otherwise, but the protocol, not the platform, defines what is and is not an ActivityPub packet.

Platforms, FB, Twitter, Tiktok, Insta, none of these work this way, they are closed platforms that you enter through secure gates and must play according to their rules, and they will always decide who gets amplification and who does not based on what makes them money, and good luck taking anything back out to the open internet with you, even if it's 100% your work. If you put it there, don't expect to get it back easily, and forget about control. It is a fundamentally hostile user relationship that cannot be improved without removing the profit motive. There have been other recent posts on HN about User Hostile software design. It's a thing and it's a bad thing.

Mastadon is... tofu dogs. Mastadon is an attempt to feed healthy, protocol-based internet food to people who have been subsisting on bad, algorithmically-manipulated corporate internet food (the aforementioned user-hostile platforms) in a way that feels familiar to them while they get used to the idea of not consuming the internet equivalent of Twinkies and Pork Rinds and Liquor for the rest of their lives.

It doesn't taste as good as Twitter, sure. Maybe that's not the most important thing.

While I understand this mentally it is still unethical to offer multiple people the job where by they start taking life changing steps where the employer knows full well they have extended multiple offers simply because "maybe one of them will not show up"

I have experience a few times new employee's not showing up on day 1. I would NEVER even consider extended multiple offers to people just to ensure one of them shows up. That is more than just "shitty" as you say.
Every company can market themselves the way they want. I’m simply lamenting the choice that DDG has made, in the same way Steve Jobs lamented the marketing-heavy PepsiCo for a lack of attention towards their products.

Reddit has been moderated the entire time, at a per-community level. It was never a free-for-all.

Forcing the shitty folks underground breaks the edgy-meme-to-radicalization pipeline quite effectively. I’ve greatly enjoyed not having to hear about Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopolis every day.

> But kicking Milo Yiannopoulos off Twitter didn’t make him stronger. It pushed him almost completely off the mainstream agenda. And part of the “fun” of being a Milo fan was precisely that prominence! You weren’t just listening to a random online crank; you were listening to an online crank who was very good at getting under prominent people’s skin. Lose that reach and some of the thrill is gone.
People just have to look around.
It really depends on where you work. In large companies, there was already a strong emphasis on accessibility 10-15 years ago, if only because there's a bunch of requirements if you want to sell software to the government.

As for small and simple libraries... it's great when the subject matter is also small and simple. UI is not, though.

I've seen these arguments turned on their head. From the perspective of a cynical elite, war solves many of these problems.

* Angry populace? Give them a fresh target for the anger and a fresh rationalization for their suffering.

* Small business apocalypse? Re-tooling for war creates an abundance of new opportunity.

* Loads of debt? Use war as an excuse to default. It is uniquely positioned to rationalize default while minimally impacting credit worthiness going forward.

* Trust issues in savings and real estate? War bonds are totally different!

* Spare men? Send them to die in war. It's the historical solution to the problem.

My inability to assign likelihoods to these bags of problems really demonstrates how little I know about national policy. Then again, wars have historically caught many experts flat-footed, so perhaps nobody else knows very much either.
