Could you comment on how easily one very familiar with Wilkinson's work and Hadley's ggplot2 might pick up this tool and produce useful visualization? How similar is the syntax? How does it compare to R's Shiny applications?

Perhaps more to the point: Buffet's results are unlikely (though likely the result of many different strategies, some successful, others not...), but in a market with so many investors, it is perhaps not so surprising that one so succe

If that's what he meant, that it's really low. For comparison a Tempurpedic is 5.3 lbs. per civic foot for it's top layer, nearer 8 for the structural bottom layer.

A more recent example would be Diablo 3. There the absence of load screens and on-demand asset loading resulted in performance problems which persist to this day. I believe they're even considering re-introducing loading screens in the

That's interesting. I just assumed that they would, since DNA is pretty stable once extracted and storing nano or micro liters of materials, even at -80C, shouldn't be too expensive considering the upside.

Clarification: while 23andMe could fully sequence your genome using the sample you provide (which I assume they bank...), that's not what they actually do currently - your DNA is instead chopped up into short segments and run on an Ill

Alternately, load() to an environment other than the global one and ls() to figure out what you just loaded... But since attending one of your talks that mentioned saveRDS/readRDS in passing, I've switched over entirely to those.

I suppose it depends what is the intended meaning of the question - you want my average speed over the last few minutes? Since you've been following me? The latter is probably the intended meaning and, in that case, I really can't

The issue is that a hypothetical diagnostic attempting to sequence this region would likely be pre-processed with a PCR to facilitate sequencing of only the region of interest... this necessarily involves a cDNA step. You could sequence the

Obviously depends on the market, but... in Vancouver for example, median wages are simply not competitive when compared to what's available 3 hours south of the border.

A comment below mentions subsidies - that's certainly part of the answer. In addition, for mobile applications, not all energy sources are equal. Transportability (stability, energy density, etc.) also contribute to liquid hydrocarbon Joule

Where is this 1% figure coming from? Having worked for a competitor, I would not have been surprised at a 3-5% figure (closer to 5% when considering the margin gain on shipping charges).
