I feel like they should have done a better job of defining quality of life. A person who is born and grows old and dies in North Dakota does not have a better life than a person who does the same in California. If only for the education, career opportunities, weather, culture, and earning potential. Yea there are problems, but there are enormous benefits too.
Neanderthalensis, like Sapien, is a species name. When we talk about these things in the context of evolutionary biology, those precise terms tend to work better than a more broad and abstract word like "Humans."
But, in articles like this, you see mixed jargons. One academic source may specialize in evolutionary biology and its particular jargon, and another source may specialize in anthropology. Their disparate perspectives and jargons are filtered through the lens of a journalist who specializes in neither field.
Each group assigns a different meaning to these words.
There is a precise and correct word in the academic context for each category of early hominids, but it probably isn't realistic to expect writers to use jargon from a field other than the one they specialize in.
I did read the article, but I can't find any mention of addressing the "Write amplification" issue as described by Uber when they moved away from postgres. https://eng.uber.com/mysql-migration/ I had heard talk on Software Engineering Daily that this new major revision was supposed to address that.
Is this issue resolved by the new "Logical replication" feature? It doesn't seem directly related, but it seems like maybe that is what he is referring to in this blog post?
