Give me unrestricted access to all of their documents and I will. Since that ain't going to happen, I can use my logical abilities to make a deduction:

You seem to have a lot of pro-GM and pro-Monsanto information and came here ready to confront anyone and as it seems the vast majority do not share your opinion. You talk about your sources but don't provide any citation, instead you end all arguments with "prove I am wrong!". You use the phrasing "on my side" which implies involvement. When you're operating in the billion and trillion dollar scale you can buy yourself through anything and have any desired outcome, this is obvious, yet you want me to provide proof about how power and money corrupts.

I'm sorry you'll lose your job as a GM pherephon since you don't seem to be doing quite well right now. If you have any self-appreciation it's best that you admit your fault and ask for forgiveness.

Extracting Cube Roots Mentally in just 3 seconds
http://mathema-tricks.blogspot.com/2013/04/extracting-cube-roots-mentally.html
I logged into a chat that room my friends and I hang out in a few days ago, and mentioned that 'Time' was still going.

Then it occurred to me: I wonder if that is the punchline. Randall sits back and cackles with glee as thousands of otherwise intelligent people wake up every morning and exclaim to their friends, with complete surprise: "Hey guys! Time is still going!"
I really like the idea of this but I don't think it's quite right for me. It's incredibly handsome, and I have been looking for, essentially, a one stop shop 'this is what's happening and happened for X hours' to give me a high level overview. This looks close, but not quite there.

Tempted to buy it still, I might be able to tweak it to get it close. Panic software is rarely a disappointment (and Prompt is fantastic, with the few niggles I've had mostly disappearing).
Hi, I recommend this following research:

I still have other papers, but those can be a good starting point.

In my thesis, NLP is done via statistical approach. It learns from it's previous summaries does have somewhat learning. I don't see any problems combining NLP with Machine Learning. Can you elaborate on this?
Gamestick - the £80 Android games console the size of a match box
Benford's Law applies because the wider natural distributions tend to be flat in the log space. One example is the log-normal distribution, which is what you get when random variables compound multiplicatively. (When they compound additively, you get a tighter Gaussian.)

So let's say that the values in bank accounts (just for an example) are $10^(N(3.5, 2)). In the log-space, this distribution is relatively flat on [2, 5] so let's focus on [3, 4]. The flatness at the top of the bell curve means there'll be just as much mass in [3, 3.3) as in [3.7, 4); converting back into dollar amounts that means there are as many between [1000, 2000) (10^3.3 is close enough to 2000) as in [5000, 10000). So you have as many leading 1's as you do of all digits 5-9.

I prefer to call it the Benford Effect. It's not a law. You don't get it for all distributions. It's not the case for human height, and IQ's have a hyper-Benford effect (50% of leading '1's) purely on account of how the distribution is defined. You only get it when the distribution is flat in the log space over at least one order of magnitude.

I doubt that they ever did the math in the sense of estimating the numbers on a piece of paper. Service number for 10 cents a minute * 60 minutes = 6$ an hour. (My old mobile operator charged 15 eurocents per minute!) There is hardly an excuse for no support. Even less considering that these numbers do not include happy non-tech customers.

Yea. That is what is called hot fusion - where you have to put in energy to keep the fusion going.

And yes I was referring to the Fusor linked below. That is hot fusion.
By making their seeds more profitable, they are given an unfair advantage. People replace their natural seeds with GM that happen to depend on their pesticides and then forbid you to recultivating 2nd generation seeds. So they become dependent on GM seeds, which are scarce. That process can also be described as taking something that is naturally abundant and making it artificially scarce. Next question.
Is this a DB inconsistency in HN?
About a year ago there was a userid - mquaes - who kept posting simplistic mental arithmetic tricks, so many that HN was semi-flooded.

But their submission is here:

>Saving/Hoarding: Keeping money/cash under the mattress - nobody else has the ability to "spend" the money in the mean time. Also called "sinking funds" by Keynes. This is money kept in a bank deposit. The important point is that you can, at any time, choose to "stop saving" the money and spend it. i.e. you keep the right to spend the money at any time. Nobody else can make use of it. It effectively is out of circulation until you choose to spend it.

One of the big problem with Keynes.

Money stuffed in a mattress = hoarding.

Money in a bank deposit = still in circulation, able to be lent by the bank.

There is a massive difference. Other people can make use of funds deposited in accounts. This is why banks take in deposits, to lend it out at a higher rate and pocket the spread.

I would also quibble with your definition of investment. Investment should be classified as spending in the expectation of a financial return (ie, not the joy of owning a new shirt, but actual cash returned on cash outlaid). You can say 'a fixed term' but that is a nebulous concept. 24 hours is a fixed term, so is a week, so is a year, so is 30 years. Lending someone money overnight so they can arbitrage some goods by moving them physically from one location to another one is just as much investment as sinking the money into a toll road for 50 years. The definition has to be on the intention rather than the time horizon, otherwise you're just being arbitrary to support an argument.

>(according to the economists that I agree with anyway)

Highly likely you agree with Krugman. I think he speaks out of his hat. We'll leave it at that.
I was quite surprised by the headline, but apparently it's mail written in gmail. Otherwise it's probably 80+ percent, most of it spam.
This is funny. Anyone who sides with science on this matter is considered corrupted, evil, and paid. Anyone who believes in due process is a paid lobbyist.

1) You made a claim. You have no evidence. You have no case. Courts would laugh at you. Don't make claims if you have no evidence.

2) I'm actually a Silicon Valley engineer. Paul Graham is welcome to trace my account's IP to identify who I am. Go ask him if you want. Keep believing I'm in the GM industry if it makes you sleep at night, however.

Instead of watching King Corn and relying on bunk science, maybe you should converse with Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and scientists from any other top biotechnology school. And even better, talk to IP lawyers. If I can't convince you, maybe they will.

I do enjoy your ad hominem insults however.
I thoughts so , or maybe google dont like anything French ( i'm kidding of course ,they bought sparrow ,didnt they ? ) , but strangely Haxe has been trying to participate the google summer of code for years but was rejected everytime.

I dont think it is a bot problem , there are a lot of unofficial symfony groups on ggroups.

My 2 cents :

- redirect people to stackoverflow in the mean time.

- build your own Q&A. I know it's a bit of work , but why not build an open-source symfony Q&A project ? i'm sure you could get support from any PAAS provider for free to host the app. Make it accessible through RSS so people can suscribe it.

Can a conservative government also privatize public roads and pathways? I mean, nowadays it can be argued that broadband/communication is as important as the transportation network. It's at the core of our day to day communications. Although if public roads can be sold to be managed by private companies, then we're screwed in both situations. But I'd rather have my tax money going to pay for infrastructure and innovation than to bailout this or that bank.
My experiences may not be representative. My observations are. I've met countless people who've been screwed over by its anachronistic closed-allocation regime.

Some people have good experiences, some don't, and for 95+ percent of the "don't" category, it's because Google screws the pooch when it comes to people management.

I've never met a Googler who (a) got smacked by its antiquated HR system, and (b) actually deserved it. There probably is one or two out there-- it's a Poisson distribution with parameter around 2.5-- but I've never met one. Most of Google's problem employees (I've been personally attacked by a few) seem to do just fine.

Some of us had to matured early, since we were raised on family farms without the benefit of being mollycoddled.

That's correct, according to Jim Emerson (http://www.rogerebert.com/scanners/remembering-the-roger-i-k...)

"At first our site also had the support of the Sun-Times, including Catherine Lanucha, John Cary, Jack Barry and the company's webstaff, but budget cuts and layoffs at the paper eventually left us with no day-to-day resources but ourselves: the only two employees of RogerEbert.com, as we liked to joke."

Lies, damned lies, statistics, and benchmarks.

Those benchmarks seem too good to be true. And reading the associated information they do look like that they are too good to be true. They claim zero-copy access to the database, which is great. But that probably means that in their read benchmarks, they are just returning a pointer to a record, and are probably not reading the actual record from disk (or for databases that live entirely in memory: into CPU cache). This gives an unfair view of the performance compared to databases that do read the data into memory (or CPU cache). While it's great that the database itself doesn't read the record, lets face it, most clients will need the actual record and not just a pointer to it. That is after all the point of a database. This also explains the unreal performance for large records. They do 30 million reads of 100 kilobyte records per second. If they were actually reading the records that would mean that their disk is doing 3 terabytes per second throughput. I want that disk!!! The hard disk and SSD also have exactly the same performance, so that means that they aren't even hitting the disk at all. So yes, they are cheating.
Still no change :s
Monsanto doesn't have competitors, now? It has a monopoly on GM seeds and can charge whatever it wants without a hit to its bottom line? Really?
what if there's snow on the road and the stop line isn't visible? what if there's no stop line?
Really? Ask for approval before planting a seed in the ground? You call that technology? Technology doesn't lock-in, it unlocks potential. Maybe ask for a commission then for the oxygen their GM plants produce. After all, it took billions to develop and I am breathing free air that originates from their patented plants.
Not to mention some serious issues for people with color vision impairment with those colors on the graphs. I hope those are just random examples but the defaults are better.
40? make it 70 if there aren't any speed bumps.
I don't think there is. The only reason Google is any good at is that they have been collecting data for well over a decade in order to do it. It's not just their web index, but they can see most peoples' email and calendar, their web searches, their location. Google also did things like "Google 411" which got them vast amounts of voice and behavioural data.

I'd be interested to see a startup go for the relevance idea, but I don't think they would have the data needed to do it.

I guess they should offer a version with banner ads all over your dashboard.
It's great to get some insight on a deal that, frankly, I couldn't understand.

I am of course biased, because I believe (like many others) that algorithms are bad at summarization, except for already well-structured content (news are usually like this). That includes most blogposts and videos. My startup (tldr.io) is trying to actually solve the summarization problem using crowdsourcing. For example, here is the summary of this article: https://tldr.io/tldrs/516542c52dcbc1ab3b0000d2/heres-the-rea...

That's a terrible idea. You probably can't remember how bad the telephone services were when they were nationalised. Having to wait 6-12 months for a line was the norm. Prices were high.

People seems to forget just how badly state run services typically are, even compared to AT&T and the like..
Yes, really. It's a patented seed. It's a "special" seed. It needed billions of dollars in scientific research to engineer. It's not your seed. You're not free to use it because you didn't develop it and you didn't purchase a license to use it. You're free to use other seeds however, if you have the rights to it.
> I think more companies could do with having an intern

Is this allowed in the US? In several European countries, legislation on interns is very strict: they need to have a specific project to work on, that is not part of the day-to-day functions of the host company. This is to stop companies depressing the wage market by using unprotected interns instead of salaried workers.

So you can take an intern to design and launch a new recruitment process, or other "project" work, but not just to offload recurring tasks.
Perhaps they aren't all full time?
It will disperse. Gas is made up of atoms going in many different different directions; even if some gas doesn't seem to be moving that's just a statistical average.

Thus, in space all those different particles will fly off in different directions at 30km/sec. They'll be harmless in microseconds.
I clicked on the first link, in the announcement of one of their adopters "The Eclipse Foundation" (actually their Orion project: https://orionhub.org/), to see what the sign in flow was like. I already had a Persona account from the early announcements but wanted to see it on a real site.

The experience was bad. I signed in with Persona on Orion to be greeted with "There is no Orion account associated with your Persona email. Please register or contact your system administrator for assistance." Isn't the whole point that I don't need to register?

I clicked the register button to see what more it would require and they wanted a user name, password, and email. With such a poor integration the whole idea of not having to remember another, username and password is lost isn't it?
Obviously this particular failure is the fault of the integrating site and not Persona which seems really cool.

Screen shot after logging in with Persona; then after clicking register:

1.7 over four years as a web dev.
It's completely unclear to me what you mean by this, and what relevance it has to the submitted item. The article is saying that perhaps Safari Mobile is going to have all the undesirable characteristics of IE6, and cause all of the same developer headaches that IE6 caused. It seems a reasonable thing to say, even if people disagree with it and offer alternative points of view.

So I really don't understand what your comment is saying, or what it adds to the discussion. Could you expand on it?

Thanks.
"Unprofessional"? I might consider a media pundit who accuses people on camera of political violations, sighs, rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and often has to have some of her snarky comments bleeped for profanity to be unprofessional. Or maybe just annoying. But an audience member who finds the pundit annoying and says so is not violating any professional code.

And unless she's different off camera than on, then the fact that you met her "in person" twice wouldn't make any difference. I've seen her express her opinions on camera more than twice, which is enough to make up my own mind.

I'm interested in useful technological insights, not in her hunt for political offenders, so she's not a pundit I look forward to hearing from.
I know I did when I got it in my RSS feed. I stared at it for a while hoping the penny would drop ("Wait for it"), and then concluded it was a reference to the tide that would ultimately wash the scene away ("Time and Tide"). Wowsers!

That doesn't make any sense. Monsanto owns patents in a very restricted area of plant transformation. They aren't going to just sue people owning a completely different technology, as they would have zero chance of winning, and a very high chance of pissing off the governments and (perhaps more scary) the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, who funded the next-gen tech.
