Is that the right criteria? A trait must be completely, 100% disqualifying as a mate or else it sticks around?
Our ancestors used to have tails. We no longer have tails. Plenty of people wear artificial tails today and get laid, it's not a 100% disqualifying trait
Our primate ancestors required tails so they could effectively move around on trees. A tree dweller without a functional tail is slower and has a harder time gathering food and escaping from predators. That's a very strong selection pressure that ends up maintaining the tail.
When the woods in eastern Africa changed into savannah, we shifted to two legs and adopted a persistence hunting strategy. The tail became useless, even a liability, and mutations that resulted in reduced tails were not selected against anymore.
and not even that, I'd narrow it further to not detrimental before and during the prime reproductive periods of a species. After that period, detrimental traits are totally fair game and more dependent on technology, culture, and family care dynamics. Heart disease later in life caused by genetic predisposition to high cholesterol isn't something people generally select for or against in a partner, but its effects happen later in life well after people have children so it passes on.

That depends. It can still affect genetic fitness if it affects an individual's ability to confer benefits on their descendants. Of note: most of the most wealthy and influential people in our society are beyond their reproductive years (not technically true for men, but mostly true in practice).
just popping in to say that it is 15° F in Nuuk right now and 1° F in Minneapolis. Currently 26° F in Anchorage. Minneapolis is often colder than the Alaskan Metro areas with Fairbanks being an exception.
Have you tried out PyIceberg yet? It's a pure Python implementation and it works pretty well. It supports a SQL Catalog as well as an In-Memory Catalog via a baked in SQLite SQL Catalog.
I think its testing to see if someone can piece together some information based on a majority's reporting, in this case in the individual characters of the license plate. l'm pretty sure the correct choice is D.
I also use it, have been for about 6 months now and its been a joy to learn and work with. I really like the ability to use typescript and all its helpful bits and tooling for a domain as large as infrastructure on aws. I think it makes infrastructure more accessible to devs who have never had to look at a yaml file for weeks on end or had to learn some DSL that wasn't a general programming language.
Really hoping to see other cloud providers start creating their own constructs in the future
