What is an Exabyte? How Big Is It Really? Journalists aren’t as tied by NDAs as they think. There’s one thing most every woman and man in media who has kept silent about sexual harassment has in common: nondisclosure agreements.
While employers—in media and elsewhere—now appear to be taking sexual harassment and abuse more seriously, they’ve given precious little attention to the role NDAs have played in keeping abuse quiet, in some cases for decades.

Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to walk more mindfully. Mindfulness is by now a tired buzzword bandied about by corporations, employers, insurers, life coaches, and wellness gurus.
So you can’t be blamed if the notion of advice on “being here now” makes you break out in hives. But the original masters of this practice—Zen monks like Thich Nhat Hanh—really do know something about cultivating peace and happiness. And to understand their wisdom, you needn’t follow the steps of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and retreat into silence in a monastery in Myanmar. Nor must you attend a Goopy wellness conference with New Age types. Instead, you can read Walking Meditation: Easy Steps to Mindfulness, a slender tome to be released in paperback this month, by Vietnamese peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh and ordained Zen Buddhist teacher Nguyen Anh-Huoing. The book makes enlightenment sound refreshingly easy, attainable, and straightforward. Is All the Truth We Need in the Data? The Seven Deadly Sins of AI Predictions.

Last month, Isaac Fitzgerald, the newly hired editor of BuzzFeed's newly created books section, made a remarkable but not entirely surprising announcement: He was not interested in publishing negative book reviews.

A community, even one dedicated to positivity, needs an enemy to define itself against. 13 Important Questions About Criminal Justice We Can’t Answer. A few weeks ago, the White House trumpeted the progress of its Police Data Initiative.
The nearly one-year-old project prods local cops to publish data on their operations in a bid to increase transparency and build trust with the communities they police.

It is often said that non-scientists must rely on “expert opinion” to determine whether claims on alleged “catastrophic man-made global warming” are true.

Explicit cookie consent. Home of Cyanide and Happiness. Twin. Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy.[1] Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical"), meaning that they can develop from just one zygote that will then split and form two embryos, or dizygotic ("fraternal"), meaning that they can develop from two different eggs; each are fertilized by separate sperm cells.[2] In contrast, a fetus which develops alone in the womb is called a singleton, and the general term for one offspring of a multiple birth is multiple.[3] Statistics[edit] In Central Africa there are 18–30 twin sets (or 36–60 twins) per 1,000 live births.[10] In Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, the lowest rates are found; only 6 to 9 twin sets per 1,000 live births.
North America and Europe have intermediate rates of 9 to 16 twin sets per 1,000 live births.[10] Multiple pregnancies are much less likely to carry to full term than single births, with twin pregnancies lasting on average 37 weeks, three weeks less than full term.[11] Zygosity[edit] Was Taylor Swift shamed into giving Kesha $250K?
