It's nurture; not nature.

Hi Piebald,
Not only is "nurture over nature" for homo-saps being challenged in a great variety of scientific and academic disciplines ...
A future in which that assertion is going to be changed at an exponential speed because of what is going in genetic engineering, neuroscience, etc. is rushing towards us.
cheers, Bill

Tabula rasa; we have roughly the same brains, and it will be hard to prove that intelligence is determined by DNA.
..but then again, we are talking about Bloomberg, it just needs to be a headline that includes something sexy and the word "millions".

Quote: Underlying this is the plummeting cost of gene sequencing. It took $3 billion and 13 years, from 1990 to 2003, to sequence the first human genome. The cost today is as low as $1,000 a patient, making it viable to sequence large numbers of people and discover relationships between genes and symptoms.
And it will probably go even cheaper...

A truly frightening film. I hope that we are wise enough to avoid such a dystopia.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The PHP community has been buzzing about all the significant releases such as PHP 7, Symfony 3 and Drupal 8 in 2015. With improved userland application frameworks, better performance and lower memory usage PHP is about to be better than ever. Yet the world is changing and maybe PHP shouldn't try to keep up with the Joneses. You had me happy there for a moment

The Jeep’s strange behavior wasn’t entirely unexpected. I’d come to St. Louis to be Miller and Valasek’s digital crash-test dummy, a willing subject on whom they could test the car-hacking research they’d been doing over the past year.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Under the new Cloud Native Computing Foundation, container companies will coordinate efforts to create a common stack for containerized apps. Containers are the new Linux (cajillion nearly identical versions)?
