Former #tech guy at Shopify, Sunlife, Manulife, and IBM. Now I help companies move data. I often post random commentary on #movies and #TV shows I'm watching.

@thibaultmol @lorenzofb Oh I see, so while the act itself did expose data it wasn't necessarily done in a traditional way. Thanks for that context. I'm still a little taken back that 23andMe hasn't said much about it given that customer data is out there.

@lorenzofb That no comment part from 23andMe is nuts. How do you not get ahead of a story like this now that it is getting worse? Truly stunning behaviour.

@leoncowle This is a great choice. SNW is so well done; it carries the true spirit of the core Trek storytelling values.

"Sir #IanWilmut, the British scientist who led the team which #cloned Dolly the sheep, has died, the University of Edinburgh in Scotland confirmed in a statement on Monday. He was 79 years old."

This begs an obvious question about Wilmut's redundancy plan upon his death.
