I very much doubt FB would put a quota hire on the board. Directors only like quota employees that are kept far away from the director, and this is a person they would have to converse with frequently. She's there because she's good, though the black woman thing doesn't hurt the image either.
If 10% of genes show different expression levels from his twin brother, that's pretty much meaningless from a biological standpoint. Sitting vs standing will alter expression levels, eating vs fasting. The differing levels here (according to the report) include both those created by natural variation and those attributed to space-time (which would also include things like extended sitting vs standing or however the body treats long-term weightlessness). Twins aren't perfect copies of each other, they are still affected by life just like everyone else; stress, physical fitness, eating habits, infections, and all the rest, will still affect them and create differences. A persistent infection (something slow and lowkey, such as HPV16) could easily cause a longterm difference in gene expression as immune-response related genes would continuously need to be expressed.
We all have natural variation in gene expression. Compare yourself to your sibling and you will find it. Some of it comes from genetic variance (mutations or extra copies of genes either inherited from your parents or developed as you are exposed to things like sunlight, viruses, radiation etc), some of it comes from epigenetic variance (what you eat, what you put in your bloodstream, stress levels, exposure to unpleasant things, viruses, etc), and some of it comes from royally fudged gene regulation (when either of the two earlier factors localizes in the "anchor" sites of the DNA which will affect a large cluster of genes in interesting ways).
In short, no one is turning into a mutant, no one is getting any super powers.
The entire field of genetics would disagree with you. Perhaps you haven't thought about it, but the whole reason there are so many biologists is specifically because there is a buttload of genetic variation within the human species, and figuring out how that affects us is pretty tricky. Throwing around numbers like 2% or 4% is popular when you don't understand that those 2% may be the switches that turn on or off or mutate the remaining 98%.
For example, did you know that the difference between friendly, harmless, likeable bird flu that bothers no one and murderous, destructive, evil bird flu that kills the host is a single nucleotide. That means that two strains that differ by a single point in some 13.5 thousand points behave very differently. So 2% of that, or 270 points, can cause a lot of variation.
I predict using my superior logic that it will go exactly the same way as all other curated programmes in this space. It starts out as a great way to find top quality and vetted addons, then when the community starts to associate that little "recommended" tag with quality Mozilla gets swamped with addons that want to get recommended, and eventually they start to use the tag for financial purposes. The only positive side is that since Firefox isn't dominant on the market it will take longer before they reach the end stage.
The report you provided showed a greater growth in 2016, before Trump took office, than 2017. 2018 was better than before, followed by this year with the greatest number of layoffs since 2009 (and so far less growth than 2016 as well). For being all about the best jobs, and sacrificing everything for that goal, the results have been disappointing to say the least. So yes, my original point stands (even stronger now that you provided the statistics).
No, you dongleberry, that is not how it works. An executive would get punished for *not doing enough*. If a corp such as Experian skipped securing the database because it was an unnecessary expense the CEO would face jailtime. If the code for securing the database was flawed but implemented, the responsible party would still be the programmer. The bill suggests that those CEOs that do not take sufficient measures face the music (for once), not that they have to debug the security measures by hand.
Ahh, then I understand. I was talking about Norway/Scandinavia, not specifically Oslo there. Oslo has a few spikes here and there, and if you go through the temperature data you can find them, but the general temperatures for Oslo in winter will be in the range -5C to -20C. If you expand your search to all of Norway, you will however find places that go to -40C, same for Sweden and Finland.
I'm a little confused here. The link you posted opens up January 2019, and already there I find a -14C listing for Jan 29. There's a -13C in February 2019, a -15C in February 2018, -18C in February 2011. That's from just a cursory glance, so there may be others.
So they were able to get half the market in a country where ICEs are highly penalized, EVs are highly subsidized, and they are flush with oil to pay for everything. Personally I'm wondering why it wasn't higher.
The trend I listed indicates that the numbers are increasing at quite the pace, so it seems your estimation was correct and the numbers will be higher this year. I guess it takes time to make everyone aware of the incentive or whatever it is that is driving the adoption rate.
No place in Norway, or Scandinavia for that matter, has a region that never goes below -3C. The temperature varies greatly over the year, going as high as 35C (last year was a new record), and as low as -40C. There are places that are warmer in general (Oslo is decent), but will still have many days in the range -20C to -5C over the winter months, with maybe a few spikes (-30C) thrown in.
This model will collapse when companies start offering a low salary for the agreed upon time period with a giant bonus to come after. It will also incentivize graduates to take low-income positions for the first few years (which may not be a bad thing for the graduates, but it will hurt the ISA programme). Unless subsidized, this programme will not be financially viable.
People will always take the best approach for themselves, and companies will be more than happy to capitalize on that. Paying out a large bonus after X years is much better for the company; 40k for 3 years + a 45k bonus is better than 60k for 3 years for the company and guarantees a 3 year employee retention. The graduate that can be paid less at decent retention is more appealing than the graduate that wants a full salary right away and might leave at any moment for better opportunities.
It's not a binary. Pain and anxiety are both good in a way, but balance is critical. Too much pain and stress, and you become unable to function even in simple low-stress/low-pain situations. Not enough pain and stress, and you become unable to function in risky or critical situations. Most people fall within the functional spectrum, but quite a few (especially these days when work is becoming more and more stressful) get serious problems. If you've seen a high-strung girl in school that gets ulcers at the age of 14, or a stoner incapable of holding even a simple packing and storage job, you've seen what happens to the fringe cases.
You don't seem to understand what pattern means. It can be something trivially easy, or it can be something far more complex. A deviation from the pattern can be simple, or it can be a torrent of differences. Explaining music as "Taxi driver in Calcutta is the same as Lacrimosa because they both have patterns and deviations" is far from insightful. Explaining all western music as "set pattern, deviate from pattern" is true in the sense that it's accurate for an unknown pattern and deviation, but it is so far from descriptive as to be meaningless.
I can describe you as "an outcome of genetics". That is absolutely true. But do you feel that it captures any meaningful aspect of your character? Are you the same as everyone else because they too are "outcomes of genetics"?
The other stuff I agree with, as it is more or less what I said already.
On a more serious note, only simple and repetitive music can be replaced by algorithms within any reasonable timeframe. In programming terms, if (map {/Oh baby baby/} @song > 50), chances are you can automate it, because it didn't take any brainpower to generate in the first place. Good luck getting an algorithm to create Mozart's Reqiuem or even Paggliaci. High quality music will remain purely in the domain of human ingenuity for the foreseeable future.
India would only be the fourth country to have used such an anti-satellite weapon after the United States, Russia and China, said Modi, who heads into general elections next month. "Our scientists shot down a live satellite 300 kilometres away in space, in low-earth orbit," Modi said in a television broadcast. "India has made an unprecedented achievement today," he added, speaking in Hindi.
Possibly, but unlikely. It is still a lucrative market, the only difference being that the margins get somewhat smaller.
On the other hand, if the big players left it would create a valuable vacuum allowing startups to compete. And a Twitter or Facebook without the information stealing scheme would be a real threat to the big guys if it ever managed to gain traction (such as grabbing 100% of the Australian market).
The market is getting really fractured again, and pirating what you want to see is becoming more appealing by the hour
Guess it's time to start torrenting once more. I already have to do that with whatever shows Netflix refuses to update (The Good Place, Colony, etc), and whatever shows Netflix won't/can't air (American Dad, Game of Thrones, etc). Disney leaving Netflix just meant I had to torrent those if I wanted them, and Apple making exclusive shows just means I will torrent those as well if they seem interesting.
Cutting the streaming-pie into smaller pieces is bad for the industry, and it won't make me pay for additional slices; it will just make me less likely to pay for what I want.
Can you really not see the difference between a law that enforces consumer rights/privacy and a law that obliterates any attempts of human rights/privacy?

It's getting higher and higher. Look at the trend.
2011 -> 1.6%
2012 -> 3.1%
2013 -> 5.6%
2014 -> 13.8%
2015 -> 22.4%
