Vandalism
Please do not vandalise articles, especially not sneakily while reverting other vandalism. By doing so you risk being blocked. --fvw *  03:08, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)
 * This looks like vandalism to me. If you've been here long enough to know how to revert, you've been here long enough to know that these kinds of comments are not appropriate. --fvw *  04:40, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)
 * Oh, right. I was assuming bad faith, always a mistake. Sorry about that. --fvw *  05:13, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)

 * No problem. At any rate, I shall stay away from him if I can  (GWB is  not  my favorite person).    I hope this serverstuff clears up soon, because I have to fix vandalism to Gondwana, but unlike earlier today, I cannot even access the history.

--

Ŭalabio 05:58, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)

 * History works for Gondwana again and someone already fixed it.

Why did you paste Jakew's talk page into Robert the Bruce's talk page?
You pasted the entire contents of User:Jakew's talk page into User:Robert the Bruce's talk page. This is the edit which you made: I'm going to assume that this was an honest mistake, but either way, you have caused some confusion for me, Jakew, and Robert. Specifically, you pasted a message from me to Jakew which led Robert to believe that he'd been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please be more careful in the future. Rhobite 04:10, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * Firstly, wrote my message in User talk:Jakew and pasted it into user talk:Robert the Bruce.  I must have selected all and copy, I suppose.  Really, the only thing I can remember clearly is seeing a broken link to user talk:Jakew and fixing it when I pasted it into [user talk:Robert the Bruce]], which I decided not to fix on the copy for Jakew because he will already read that copy on his talk-page.

--

Ŭalabio 04:46, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)

 * Fair enough, it makes sense. Thanks for the quick explanation. Rhobite 04:51, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * I just finished apologizing to Robert the Bruce.

3RR violation
I believe you're mistaken about sexual intercourse - no participant reverted that article more than three times. If you could point me towards the personal attack, I'll take a look, but I really don't feel like wading through another one of your stupid crusades. Rhobite 05:27, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * I see that you are technically right about 3RR. A certain someone mixed in a copyedit mixed in with the reversion.  That certain someone is getting better about this.  If it were just a mere 3RR I would not bother  (3RR are a dime a dozen with this one).    This one made his usual accusations against me which no longer bother me then, accused a innocent bystander of colluding against him.  That upset me and made me contact you  (you were the first to come to my mind because you wrote me earlier this week).   Here is the accusation against the innocent bystander:

The big green area is the introduction of the important stuff.

That certain someone made an accusation against Tony Sidaway  |  Talk  who is not involved.

3RR report
First off, I apologize for being so slow to respond, I have exams right now, so I haven't been as active on Wikipedia over the past week.

You're right, that looks like a violation of the 3RR. However, I think that Jake tends to try and avoid breaking the 3RR, but was ignorant of the exact wording, so I'm going to let it slide this time. Since he should now know that it means you can't revert the page at all (he may have thought it meant that you can't revert to the same version) more than three times a day, I'll probably block him for you if he violates it again. -Frazzydee|✍ 17:06, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I do not like playing the tattling game. I only reported this because a friend who could not report it asked me to do so.  The only other time I reported 3RR was when someone assumed bad faith against a third party and I got indignant and reported the 3RR as well as the personal attack.  Afterwards, I realized that I assumed bad faith myself in not trying to explain that the third party was not involved, and the admin judge that the reverts had sufficient differences not to count.

 * I came to WikiPedia for fun. Before all of this started, I created a large percentage of the articles about palæocontinents.  Now, I seem to spend most of my time protecting children from sexual mutilation.  I wish that the other side would understand that we do not care which cosmetic surgeries adults get for themselves.  We just want the children not disfigured for life on the whims of adults.  To quote  "Rodney" Glen King:

''	"¿"Can we get along here? ¿Can we all get along?"	''	--	 "Rodney" Glen King

I do not want Jakew  punished. I just want this to stop. A simple statement in the articles such as:

''	We now know that universal circumcision of minors along with universal tonsillectomies, and appendectomies are contraindicated and therefore, like tonsillectomies and appendectomies, doctors should only circumcise minors for valid medical reasons following a diagnosis of pathology confirmed be at least a second opinion. ''

¿Is that so much to ask? The article can go onto say:

''	Many adults elect to have themselves circumcised because they believe that a naked glans is more pretty than one with a præpuce. ''

This seems fair. I just want the children left alone and this stupid fighting to end.

I really do not have anything personally against Jakew.   To quote from the episode  Balance of Terror  from the original series:

''	"I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind.  In a different reality, I could have called you friend." ''	--	Romulan Commander

Inclusion of Slogans in Wikipedia
Hey Walabio! (sorry, don't know what the unicode is for the first letter) Anyway, I noticed your support for a slogan on the VfD and was wondering if you'd like to place your opinion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Inclusion of Slogans as Separate Articles. So far, everybody (including myself) seems to be in favour of deleting the slogans or merging them with appropriate articles, and it would be nice to hear the other side of the debate (if indeed there is one). Either way, come and weigh in! Thanks for your time. Regards, [[User:Consequencefree| Ardent † ∈ ]] 22:25, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Arbitration Committee ruling
The arbcom case against Robert the Bruce has closed. As a result, you are advised to re-read Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, with particular attention to the idea that NPOV includes all significant points of view regarding any subject on which there is division of opinion. You are expected to improve their editing habits and reminded that any future cases will consider seriously any failure to heed this warning. Please see the final decision for details. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 23:48, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)

Valabio, not ŭalabio
Saluton, Ŭalabio (no, I don't speak Esperanto, I'm just trying to learn it). I noticed you say in your user page that "Ŭalabio is Esperantic for wallaby". The Wikipedia article wallaby links to eo:Valabio instead of eo:& (which redirects to Valabio). Are both forms accepted? If they are, shouldn't you have chosen Valabio instead of Walabio for your username, in order to be able to write it without Unicode?

Thanks for your time. --Fibonacci 03:22, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * ¡Salutojn!

 * ¿Kiel vi fartas?

 * Mi skribas esperante espenate ke vi povu kompreni min. ;-)

 * Some Esperantists do not like the letter Ŭ at the beginning of syllables because it does not occur in their native languages. If Esperanto follows the path of least denominator when it comes to phonetics, we shall all grunt at each other.  I believe that Ŭalabio should be Ŭalabio.  ¿Which is a better sentence?:

''	Washington (Vaŝingtono) estas la ĉefurbo de Usono. ''

''	Washington (Ŭaŝingtono) estas la ĉefurbo de Usono. ''

The second one is better because it gives the correct pronunciation of Washington.

--

— Ŭalabio 01:23, 2005 Mar 1 (UTC)

 * But Ŭaŝington doesn't have a velar nasal (ŋ, or ng in English), so it's not the correct pronunciation, and since Esperanto doesn't have a velar nasal, it can't give the correct pronounciation. --Prosfilaes 16:51, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Nothing is perfect, but Ŭaŝingtono is closer.

Back from wikiholiday
I've recently returned from my wikiholiday and have been catching up on what went on while I was away. I have only recently come across the arbcom ruling banning, thank God, Robert the Bruce. I am sorry that I was not here to offer you advice when you needed it as a participant in the case. I have also noticed that the arbcom asked you to review the NPOV policy. Likewise, I would like you to know that at the first sign of a conflict between yourself and another user you may contact me, regardless of rather I'm on vacation or not, if you desire my help. P.S. Keep up the good work with the geology articles and remember wikilove, wikiquette, and NPOV. :) -JCarriker 23:32, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

Mister	Pillsbury	…
…	may have been a good physics teacher, but he surely was not an expert on the English language. We're not talking about the nouns "weight" and "mass"! AFAIK, "to mass" means "to form or collect into a mass"! Or do you ask yourself "how much do I mass?" Probably not. You'd ask "how much do I weigh?". I've reverted your edit on Antarctic krill. Lupo 07:47, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * The gram is not a measure force. It is like measuring temperature in meters.  Perhaps we can write that adult krill have a mass of two grams.  If you insist on vectors, we can write that krill have a weight of 3 millinewtons on the moon or 5 centinewtons on the sun.  ;-)  At any rate, I shall not get into an edit war over such a shrimpy issue.  ;-)  Please ponder my suggestion about “adult krill have a mass of 2 grams.”  The ball is in your court.  I shall leave the decision with you.

Pro circumcision POV pushers are attempting to censor wikipedia
Thank you for agreeing with proposal to use the term intact rather than uncircumcised in the main circumcision article. Not to sound melodramatic but its become clear that pro circumcision POV pushers are censoring wikipedia uninhibitedly, which can be seen in their attempt to remove the article Aposthia and vandalizing the disambiguation page at uncircumcised to eliminate any other interpretations of the word supported by the dictionary that they feel improves their political agenda. For the sake of intellectual freedom I emplore you to look into these matters and make choice about how you will respond. Thanks again. Sirkumsize 02:36, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Reformatting comments
Hi Walabio. Please would you not reformat other people's comments, as in this edit to Breastfeeding. I know that it sometimes improves readability, but it makes it really difficult to see what's new. Thanks. - Jakew 12:06, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

The charter is here. (Relating to Esperanza)
Hello Walabio, the Charter for Esperanza is up. Take a looksie :) R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 02:44, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza made less bureaucratic
Hello again, I have (unilatterly) taken away the 'assembly' idea, as per my reasons at that edit summary and per Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Charter. I have left the admin general, as some leadership is good. Now, all you have to do is be a member to establish consensus, the whole assembly idea is gone. Also, I have added an advisory committee, of four members, with limited power besides watching over the admin general and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Please look at the ammended charter, and I would love a comment. R e  dwolf24  (talk) 00:33, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The last time I'm spamming you all with Esperanza stuff
Hello Walabio. As you may or may not know, there have been some troubles with Esperanza. So now, as a last ditch to save the community, please vote at Esperanza/Reform on all neccisary polls. P.S. I'm very sorry for spamming you all with these messages, and this will be the last time. I recommend putting ESP on your watchlist. Cheers and please look at that, let's stop the civil war then.

Esperanza elections
Hi : This is a quick note just to let you know that there's an election under way at Esperanza. If you'd like to become a candidate for Administrator General or the Advisory Council, just add your name here by 15 December 2005.

Voting begins at 12:00UTC on 16 December and all Esperanza members are encouraged to join in.

This message was delivered to all Esperanza members. If you do not wish to receive further messages, please contact Flcelloguy. Thank you.

Tumbleweeds bouncing across the mediation page
Hi Walabio. As you've doubtless noticed, we don't seem to have an active mediator, and little has now been said for about a month. I don't think that your most recently stated goal is achievable. I accept the fact that we disagree on the issue of circumcision, but I really don't think there's much point in trying to change each others' views. What concerns me is that we'll waste an enormous amount of both our time and that of a mediator in going over the whole circumcision debate ad infinitum. It seems to me that our time would be better spent working on the encyclopaedia. I don't particularly like leaving loose ends, so how would you feel about closing the mediation with an agreement to disagree?

I'll understand if you reject this suggestion, but please give it some thought. Jakew 13:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

News from Esperanza
Hello, fellow Esperanzians! This is just a friendly reminder that elections for Administrator General and two advisory council positions have just begun. Voting will last until Friday, December 30, so make sure you exercise your right to vote! Also, I'm pleased to announce the creation of the Esperanza mailing list. I urge all members to join; see Esperanza/Contact for more information. All you need to do is email me and I will activate your account. This will be a great way to relax, stay in touch, and hear important announcements. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note? )

An Esperanzial note
As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: EA-welcome (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Cel e stianpower háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...
Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Heres a grand Idea
Why dont you tell me what in the hell you are talking about when you say my articles are nonsense. what articles are you referring to? ALL of my articles have ben of the highest caliber, and I havent even posted anything in months, and then you come in acting all high and mighty, and correcting me for something or other for who knows what reason. I have some advice for you, if you are taking some kind of drugs, you need to quit. I have seen first hand the danger that they can cause. You are making yourself look foolish. VERY FOOLISH!!!

 * I shall assume that you are PickelBarrel because I wrote to me shortly after I left a message for him. If you are not, I apologize.

 * Someone on Sho.Com claimed to be Pickelbarrel and vandalize WikiPedia.Org. I merely left a not on the talkpage of Pickelbarrel explaining that WikiPedia.Org is a serious project and pointing him to Unencyclopedia.Org as a place for not true contributions.  If none of this applies to you, I apologize.  If Jaker lied to me about being you, you can complain to Sho.Com anf get him banned for  impersonating you.

 * I apologize for the inconvenience.

 * I already apologized for taking The word of Jaker at facevalue that he is you. I already ready explained that you should complain to Showtime, a televionnetwork, about Jaker impersonating you and get him banned for such unethical behavior.

 * I openly admit that I has in the wrong to assume that you and Jaker are the same person. I apologized for that.  I have at all points been polite to you.  I would appreciate the same courtesy.

Personal attacks
Hi, in response to your complaints on WP:ANI I removed some of the personal attacks. Unfortunately this seems to be a probable AOL user so cannot easily be blocked for long. You don't have to take this kind of attack, though, so please contact me directly if he continues and I'll see what I can do. Naturally you should remain civil even under this kind of provocation, but I've no reason to doubt that you are civil at all times. --Tony Sidaway 02:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Eloquence hosts it for me via Myoo.De.  Unfortunately, this leaves every little time for WikiPedia.Org.  Indeed, this unpleasant business has lead to more time on WikiPedia.Org than I have spent in weeks.

 * I could have removed them myself, but I left them there for the moderator to see.  Until I lost patience with the user, I did remove them myself.  Indeed, the anonymous IP earlier had penis pictures up too, but that was before I lost patience trying to engage the user and removed them myself.

 * I look forward to editing with you again in the future.

My dear Ŭalabio‽, while I do not always agree with you, no Wikipedian should be attacked and made to feel unwelcome as you have been.

Please do not hesitate to contact me immediately should you be subject to harassment ever again. --Tony Sidaway 19:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

 * ¡Thanks!

 * I look forward to editing here again when I have the time. I am sorry that I have been so busy lately.  It is strange that you mention that we sometimes do not see eye-to-eye because I do not remember ever disagreeing with you.

 * I am sorry about this nasty business. It all started when A user called Jaker on Sho.Com claimed to vandalize WikiPedia.Org under the name  Pickelbarrel.   I dropped a note to Pickelbarrel explaining to Pickelbarrel that WikiPedia.Org is a serious project and that UnEncyclopepdia.Org is for humorous articles.  I admit that I was wrong to take the word of Jaker on facevalue.  I should have stated that someone named Jaker claims to be he and then stated that if it is true, then WikiPedia.Org is not the place while UnEncyclopedia.Org is.  That is when the anonymous attacks started.  I tried to apologize and engage in polite discourse, to no avail.

 * That is how we got here.

 * ¡Thanks!

Talk:Shinui

I think we could delete the paragraph similar parties. Through the category "Liberal parties in Israel" the page is linked to other liberal parties like the parties mentioned in this paragraph.

Move from Shinui to Change (Shinui)
I was wondering what the rationale behind moving this page from Shinui was. The Shinui party is almost always referred to by its Hebrew name, Shinui, just as the Likud Party is always referred to as Likud not consolidation which is what the word Likud literally means in Hebrew. Numerous major publications use Shinui in their English versions. Both the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz newspapers, political right and left papers, respectively, use the word Shinui when naming the party:
 * Jerusalem Post article about Shinui
 * Haaretz article about Shinui

The official website for the Shinui party says that their name is usually translated as the word change, but sometimes as the word reform, clearly showing that using the word change as a substitute for Shinui is not the standard use.

 * Shinui website including info about name

I strongly believe this article should be moved back to Shinui and unless anyone has serious opposition to it, I will do it soon. Benjamin Goldenberg 03:47, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * I have moved the article back to Shinui. Benjamin Goldenberg 07:05, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Haldane's dilemma

Haldane's dilemma, also known as the waiting time problem, is a limit on the speed of beneficial evolution, calculated by J. B. S. Haldane in 1957. Before the invention of DNA sequencing technologies, it was not known how much polymorphism DNA harbored, although alloenzymes (variant forms of an enzyme which differ structurally but not functionally from other alloenzymes coded for by different alleles at the same locus) were beginning to make it clear that substantial polymorphism existed. This was puzzling because the amount of polymorphism known to exist seemed to exceed the theoretical limits that Haldane calculated, that is, the limits imposed if polymorphisms present in the population generally influence an organism's fitness. Motoo Kimura's landmark paper on neutral theory in 1968 built on Haldane's work to suggest that most molecular evolution is neutral, resolving the dilemma. Although neutral evolution remains the consensus theory among modern biologists, and thus Kimura's resolution of Haldane's dilemma is widely regarded as correct, some biologists argue that adaptive evolution explains a large fraction of substitutions in protein coding sequence, and they propose alternative solutions to Haldane's dilemma.

Substitution cost
In the introduction to The Cost of Natural Selection Haldane writes that it is difficult for breeders to simultaneously select all the desired qualities, partly because the required genes may not be found together in the stock; but, he writes,

"especially in slowly breeding animals such as cattle, one cannot cull even half the females, even though only one in a hundred of them combines the various qualities desired."

That is, the problem for the cattle breeder is that keeping only the specimens with the desired qualities will lower the reproductive capability too much to keep a useful breeding stock.

Haldane states that this same problem arises with respect to natural selection. Characters that are positively correlated at one time may be negatively correlated at a later time, so simultaneous optimization of more than one character is a problem also in nature. And, as Haldane writes

"[i]n this paper I shall try to make quantitative the fairly obvious statement that natural selection cannot occur with great intensity for a number of characters at once unless they happen to be controlled by the same genes."

In faster breeding species there is less of a problem. Haldane mentions the peppered moth, Biston betularia, whose variation in pigmentation is determined by several alleles at a single gene. One of these alleles, "C", is dominant to all the others, and any CC or Cx moths are dark (where "x" is any other allele). Another allele, "c", is recessive to all the others, and cc moths are light. Against the originally pale lichens the darker moths were easier for birds to pick out, but in areas, where pollution has darkened the lichens, the cc moths had become rare. Haldane mentions that in a single day the frequency of cc moths might be halved.

Another potential problem is that if "ten other independently inherited characters had been subject to selection of the same intensity as that for colour, only $$(1/2)^{10}$$, or one in 1024, of the original genotype would have survived." The species would most likely have become extinct; but it might well survive ten other selective periods of comparable selectivity, if they happened in different centuries.

Selection intensity
Haldane proceeds to define the intensity of selection regarding "juvenile survival" (that is, survival to reproductive age) as $$I = \ln (s_0/S)$$, where $$s_0$$ is the proportion of those with the optimal genotype (or genotypes) that survive to reproduce, and $$S$$ is the proportion of the entire population that similarly so survive. The proportion for the entire population that die without reproducing is thus $$1-S$$, and this would have been $$1-s_0$$ if all genotypes had survived as well as the optimal. Hence $$s_0-S$$ is the proportion of "genetic" deaths due to selection. As Haldane mentions, if $$s_0 \approx S$$, then $$I \approx s_0-S$$.

The cost
Haldane writes

"I shall investigate the following case mathematically. A population is in equilibrium under selection and mutation. One or more genes are rare because their appearance by mutation is balanced by natural selection. A sudden change occurs in the environment, for example, pollution by smoke, a change of climate, the introduction of a new food source, predator, or pathogen, and above all migration to a new habitat. It will be shown later that the general conclusions are not affected if the change is slow. The species is less adapted to the new environment, and its reproductive capacity is lowered. It is gradually improved as a result of natural selection. But meanwhile, a number of deaths, or their equivalents in lowered fertility, have occurred. If selection at the $i^{th}$ selected locus is responsible for $d_i$ of these deaths in any generation the reproductive capacity of the species will be $\prod \left( 1- d_i \right)$ of that of the optimal genotype, or $\exp \left ( -\sum d_i\right)$ nearly, if every $d_i$ is small. Thus the intensity of selection approximates to $\sum d_i$."

Comparing to the above, we have that $$d_i = s_{0i} - S$$, if we say that $$s_{0i}$$ is the quotient of deaths for the $$i^{th}$$ selected locus and $$S$$ is again the quotient of deaths for the entire population.

The problem statement is therefore that the alleles in question are not particularly beneficial under the previous circumstances; but a change in environment favors these genes by natural selection. The individuals without the genes are therefore disfavored, and the favorable genes spread in the population by the death (or lowered fertility) of the individuals without the genes. Note that Haldane's model as stated here allows for more than one gene to move towards fixation at a time; but each such will add to the cost of substitution.

The total cost of substitution of the $$i^{th}$$ gene is the sum $$D_i$$ of all values of $$d_i$$ over all generations of selection; that is, until fixation of the gene. Haldane states that he will show that $$D_i$$ depends mainly on $$p_0$$, the small frequency of the gene in question, as selection begins – that is, at the time that the environmental change occurs (or begins to occur).

A mathematical model of the cost of diploids
Let A and a be two alleles with frequencies $$p_n$$ and $$q_n$$ in the $$n^\mbox{th}$$ generation. Their relative fitness is given by

where 0 ≤ $$K$$ ≤ 1, and 0 ≤ λ ≤ 1.

If λ = 0, then Aa has the same fitness as AA, e.g. if Aa is phenotypically equivalent with AA (A dominant), and if λ = 1, then Aa has the same fitness as aa, e.g. if Aa is phenotypically equivalent with aa (A recessive). In general λ indicates how close in fitness Aa is to aa.

The fraction of selective deaths in the $$n^\mbox{th}$$ generation then is

 * $$d_n = 2\lambda Kp_nq_n + Kq_n^2 = Kq_n[2\lambda + (1 - 2\lambda)q_n]$$

and the total number of deaths is the population size multiplied by

 * $$D = K \sum_0^\infin q_n \; [2\lambda + (1 - 2\lambda)q_n].$$

Important number 300
Haldane approximates the above equation by taking the continuum limit of the above equation. This is done by multiplying and dividing it by dq so that it is in integral form

 * $$ dq_n=-Kp_n q_n[\lambda + (1-2 \lambda )q_n ] $$

substituting q=1-p, the cost (given by the total number of deaths, 'D', required to make a substitution) is given by

 * $$D = \int_0^{q_{_0}} \frac{[2\lambda + (1 - 2\lambda)q]}{(1 - q)[\lambda + (1 - 2\lambda)q]}dq = \frac{1}{1 - \lambda} \int_0^{q_{_0}} \left[\frac{1}{1 - q} + \frac{\lambda(1 - 2\lambda)}{\lambda + (1 - 2\lambda)q}\right]dq.$$

Assuming λ < 1, this gives

 * $$D = \frac{1}{1 - \lambda} \left[-\mbox{ln } p_0 + \lambda \mbox{ ln }\left(\frac{1 - \lambda - (1 - 2\lambda) p_0}{\lambda}\right)\right] \approx \frac{1}{1 - \lambda} \left[-\mbox{ln } p_0 + \lambda \mbox{ ln }\left(\frac{1 - \lambda}{\lambda}\right)\right]$$

where the last approximation assumes $$p_0$$ to be small.

If λ = 1, then we have

 * $$D = \int_0^{q_{_0}} \frac{2 - q}{(1 - q)^2} = \int_0^{q_{_0}} \left[\frac{1}{1 - q} + \frac{1}{(1 - q)^2}\right]dq = p_0^{-1} - \mbox{ ln } p_0 + O(\lambda K).$$

In his discussion Haldane writes that the substitution cost, if it is paid by juvenile deaths, "usually involves a number of deaths equal to about 10 or 20 times the number in a generation" – the minimum being the population size (= "the number in a generation") and rarely being 100 times that number. Haldane assumes 30 to be the mean value.

Assuming substitution of genes to take place slowly, one gene at a time over n generations, the fitness of the species will fall below the optimum (achieved when the substitution is complete) by a factor of about 30/n, so long as this is small – small enough to prevent extinction. Haldane doubts that high intensities – such as in the case of the peppered moth – have occurred frequently and estimates that a value of n = 300 is a probable number of generations. This gives a selection intensity of $$I = 30/300 = 0.1$$.

Haldane then continues:

"The number of loci in a vertebrate species has been estimated at about 40,000. 'Good' species, even when closely related, may differ at several thousand loci, even if the differences at most of them are very slight. But it takes as many deaths, or their equivalents, to replace a gene by one producing a barely distinguishable phenotype as by one producing a very different one. If two species differ at 1000 loci, and the mean rate of gene substitution, as has been suggested, is one per 300 generations, it will take 300,000 generations to generate an interspecific difference. It may take a good deal more, for if an allele a1 is replaced by a10, the population may pass through stages where the commonest genotype is a1a1, a2a2, a3a3, and so on, successively, the various alleles in turn giving maximal fitness in the existing environment and the residual environment."

The number 300 of generations is a conservative estimate for a slowly evolving species not at the brink of extinction by Haldane's calculation. For a difference of at least 1,000 genes, 300,000 generations might be needed – maybe more, if some gene runs through more than one optimisation.

Origin of the term "Haldane's dilemma"
Apparently the first use of the term "Haldane's dilemma" was by paleontologist Leigh Van Valen in his 1963 paper "Haldane's Dilemma, Evolutionary Rates, and Heterosis".

Van Valen writes:

"Haldane (1957 [= The Cost of Natural Selection]) drew attention to the fact that in the process of the evolutionary substitution of one allele for another, at any intensity of selection and no matter how slight the importance of the locus, a substantial number of individuals would usually be lost because they did not already possess the new allele. Kimura (1960, 1961) has referred to this loss as the substitutional (or evolutional) load, but because it necessarily involves either a completely new mutation or (more usually) previous change in the environment or the genome, I like to think of it as a dilemma for the population: for most organisms, rapid turnover in a few genes precludes rapid turnover in the others. A corollary of this is that, if an environmental change occurs that necessitates the rather rapid replacement of several genes if a population is to survive, the population becomes extinct."

That is, since a high number of deaths are required to fix one gene rapidly, and dead organisms do not reproduce, fixation of more than one gene simultaneously would conflict. Note that Haldane's model assumes independence of genes at different loci; if the selection intensity is 0.1 for each gene moving towards fixation, and there are N such genes, then the reproductive capacity of the species will be lowered to 0.9N times the original capacity. Therefore, if it is necessary for the population to fix more than one gene, it may not have reproductive capacity to counter the deaths.

Evolution above Haldane's limit
Various models evolve at rates above Haldane's limit.

J. A. Sved showed that a threshold model of selection, where individuals with a phenotype less than the threshold die and individuals with a phenotype above the threshold are all equally fit, allows for a greater substitution rate than Haldane's model (though no obvious upper limit was found, though tentative paths to calculate one were examined e.g. the death rate). John Maynard Smith and Peter O'Donald followed on the same track.

Additionally, the effects of density-dependent processes, epistasis, and soft selective sweeps on the maximum rate of substitution have been examined.

By looking at the polymorphisms within species and divergence between species an estimate can be obtained for the fraction of substitutions that occur due to selection. This parameter is generally called alpha (hence DFE-alpha), and appears to be large in some species, although almost all approaches suggest that the human-chimp divergence was primarily neutral. However, if divergence between Drosophila species was as adaptive as the alpha parameter suggests, then it would exceed Haldane's limit.

The Hub (band)

The Hub is an American "computer network music" ensemble formed in 1986 consisting of John Bischoff, Tim Perkis, Chris Brown, Scot Gresham-Lancaster, Mark Trayle and Phil Stone. "The Hub was the first live computer music band whose members were all composers, as well as designers and builders of their own hardware and software."

The Hub grew from the League of Automatic Music Composers: John Bischoff, Tim Perkis, Jim Horton, and Rich Gold. Perkis and Bischoff modified their equipment for a performance at The Network Muse Festival in 1986 at The LAB in San Francisco. Instead of creating an ad-hoc wired connection of computer interaction, they decided to use a hub – a general purpose connection for network data. This was less failure-prone and enabled greater collaborations.

The Hub was the first band to do a telematic performance in 1987 at the Clocktower in New York.

Since this work represents some of the earliest work in the context of the new live music practice of networked music performance, they have been cited as the archetypal network ensemble in computer music. The Hub's best-known piece, Stuck Note by Scot Gresham-Lancaster has been covered by a number of network music bands, including MiLO – the Milwaukee Laptop Orchestra – and BiLE – the Birmingham Laptop Ensemble.

They have collaborated with Rova Saxophone Quartet, Nick Collins, Phill Niblock, and Alvin Curran. They currently perform around the world after a multi-year hiatus, ending in 2004.

In 2018, The Hub was awarded the Giga-Hertz Prize for lifetime achievement in electronic music by ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany.

George Mitchell Seabroke

George Mitchell Seabroke FRAS (1 April 1848 – 1 April 1918) was an English amateur astronomer. By profession he was a solicitor.

He took an interest in astronomy while a pupil at Rugby School. Together with the school's Mathematics and Science Master, James Wilson (later Canon of Worcester), he observed double stars at the Temple Observatory. He remained at the observatory, carrying out observations and promoting the study of astronomy to the schoolboys of Rugby School. The Observatory boasted an 8¼ inch (210mm) aperture refracting telescope built by Alvan Clark of America.

He was one of the founders of the British Astronomical Association, and served as its Double Star Section Director from 1892 to 1915, its Saturn Section Director from 1899 to 1911, and its national president from 1900 to 1902. He also served as Midland Branch President from 1902 to 1903.
