You are quoting the paper in a dishonest way. Did you get 16% from this? > Using human-chimpanzee dX/dA and human diversity data from genome-wide surveys we obtained estimates of α between 2.7 and 5.9, again assuming β between 1 and

> Java8 won't be supported after January 2019, Java11 (LTS) will be release in September this year. Are they dropping support for the latest LTS just four month after releasing a new LTS? That sounds a bit harsh.
