They sue people who they think infringed their patents. Farmers who deliberately select out the Roundup resistant crops for replanting and/or buy the seeds illegally in contravention of patent law. I've read a lot of Monsanto vs. farmer court summaries, and I've not yet seen one where the farmer was not deliberately infringing. The article you linked to didn't mention any evidence that they have sued farmers who were simply affected by cross-pollination.
The login on the Persona site (https://login.persona.org/signin) doesn't seem to work for me, using my Yahoo account. It pops up the Window, I login to Yahoo, that little window goes away, then ... nothing else happens. If I click "verify" again, the little window pops up momentarily and then just goes away. Is it supposed to actually do something, or was that the whole demonstration?
have you ever worked in support? The 2 minutes are not even enough to tell people that "this is the wrong hotline".

Once there is a Google support people will contact google and ask for help about anything on the web.

For many people Google is the web!!!

As the last sentence in the article states, I believe the modern-day form of mutiny is brain-drain. Ships were closed systems with limited means for dissatisfied crew members to leave. The business world, on the other hand, is an open system.

>It's how men generally treat women.

Congratulations, you've now been promoted to sexism level - infinity.

What you said above is sexism by itself. You are labeling an entire gender of species for what a percentage of species is accused of doing.

I'm disgusted by people like you who favor one gender over the other and my comment exactly addresses people like you!
If Elsivier wants to change its business model, it will need to do it in a way that doesn't completely cannibalize its sales. Adding open research companies to its umbrella would be a way to do that.

However, more likely, it wants to be able to say, "See, we are committed to being open", and continue with its primarily closed practices.
...and Monsanto originally included a "TERMINATOR GENE" which would have solved this problem by making all seed sterile, but this caused a lot of problem among activists.
This is the only comment that matters here. FWIW, at my SW company which is filled with brilliant people I spend most of my day patiently explaining that monetary systems are always about power, not technological innovation, and Bitcoin will demonstrate that brutally, sooner or later.

I think debates like this mostly illustrate how shockingly poorly engineers are educated in subjects like history and basic economics.
You can probably use the iPad's builtin hdmi out feature for free, but it will output an iPad-shaped display. The one you pay for will dynamically resize to fit the screen it's attached to and display different stuff. Not a huge difference but it isn't like they did NOTHING for the feature.

It's a contradiction to establish a company that leverages users all around the world and then cram the team into a small geographical area together with similar companies.

"Oh but we want to raise money, financing is there", financing is everywhere.

And you will probably find that you don't need to raise that much money if you relocate somewhere else, since your employees can get a smaller compensation, since they don't have to fight for a place to rent.

Your office costs can be smaller as well

And no, you don't have to get your team together all the time, be creative, it is possible to come up with a product with a remote team. If they can meet a couple of days per week, even better.
If you live in a city, like I do, then it will be considerably harder to find a place to do archery. There are clubs, but the nearest for me is a good drive away.

It has nothing about hiding anything, it has to do with people lying or telling "half-truths" (being dishonest) / stories skewed by anger, etc.. Many people are very sensitive and influenced people are by small / short stories whether they are even slightly negative or positive in nature.
Happy to be wrong, but I see no evidence that these folks offer developer integration.

The main idea is that it would have to be an option alongside Visa/MC/PayPal.
You know, in polite conversation "proof" usually doesn't mean "logical proof," the same way "or" usually means "exclusive or" rather than "inclusive or" as it does in formal logic. I mean evidence. Especially since we're talking about something so incredibly squishy and suppositional, nobody is going to be able to "prove" anything interesting in a formal capacity.

The difference is that gold is a tangible, immutable substance that doesn't decay much. It doesn't go anywhere.

I bought a bunch of bitcoin early, and sold it for a handy profit at $10. The ones I kept aside (about 20) were lost on a PC whose hard disk crashed. My understanding is that these coins are forever lost.
If only they were more sensible responses.
I think maybe you should take a step back and realize that the way you communicated your message initially isn't consistent with the defense you're making here. You didn't state your original issue as a bug, you called Google out as if this were some kind of feature:

"People, when you design an interface, don't put invisible, undiscoverable, irrecoverable actions in it."

This would only be a feature if it happened for everyone, and now you're using curt language with someone who is trying to help.

Troubleshooting is hard, and the communications involved are often polarizing. End users commonly feel defensive, and troubleshooters often fail to couch their language diplomatically.

The matter of reproducibility is the basic litmus test by which programmers classify issues as bugs versus environment issues. Bugs are problems in the software, and environment issues are problems in the user's specific configuration. Often times an issue is a combination of both. The willingness to engage in troubleshooting environment issues varies by developer, but if you're interested in receiving help, it's worth acknowledging that your problem falls somewhere on this continuum, which means you always bear some responsibility in remaining objective during the troubleshooting process. You seem convinced that this is some type of feature issue, rather than remaining open to other possibilities.

I think I might have an idea about what's happening in your case, but I'm reluctant to even posit the idea, because I fear you'll lash out as me as well.
> SV startups are completely overrun by a TechCrunch mentality of hype-machine backed, poorly conceived products...and if you aren't funded you are dead.

I don't think this is really true. Sure, those startups are on TC, but if you visit SV IRL you'll find that you are by no means forced to be a part of that circle. And the backlash against hype-backed companies has been strong.

Better to make everything as simple and as easy as possible. App-managed chunking is error-prone, and it forces redundancy of implementations. Likewise, "you have an extra in memory copy" can make or break a system. OpenLDAP slapd using LMDB uses 1/4 the RAM of slapd using BerkeleyDB for a given number of entries. That means you can serve 4x as many entries using LMDB on a given hw config at full RAM speed, vs BDB. LMDB efficiency has a direct impact on hardware cost and electricity cost, as well as sw development cost.
A most-excellent point.

I don't have a solution for defaulting, but I do know that regulations make it near-impossible to run experiments that would lead to a solution.
It's not because of LOYALTY that you're supposed to avoid telling your former employer to not "choke on a taint."

It's because it makes YOU look bad.

Can I ask a question? You keep complaining about closed allocation. What EXACTLY would you want them to have, instead? And I don't mean just say "open," say specifically what you mean, how you think it would work in practice. At a company with 55,000 employees.

Also, you're putting way too much emphasis on calibration scores. Companies record what managers think of their employees. How ELSE would you want a company to do it?
The difference of Mendeley is that they had a good PR team, and composed of academic, "people like us". And they were everywhere, and this PR team banged on the note that Mendeley was going to be open and "grassroots" academic, because it was made by academics. Now, we know the real answer.
Yoga's good too.
Music copyright is incredibly messed up, even compared to the rest of copyright. I was doing research for a project I'm working on, and it's nearly impossible to determine if any 20th century recording is in the public domain unless the author explicitly declared it as such.

YouTube (and by extension Google) are actively making this worse with automated ContentID. There are many documented cases of author-released public-domain or creative commons work being claimed by other people [1]. Create a false entry in the ContentID database and issue takedown notices to the original creator and anyone else who used the music. Even if you get caught you can drop the claim and still walk away with the money you made off of their videos.

I don't really have much to hide in terms of being a "bad" guy, but I will openly admit I have several minor forms of neurosis. I could see several guys being needlessly embarrassed by an app like this. What I choose to share on the interent is one thing, what others choose to share is a bit different.
Or, you know, you could get physical therapy. I had chronic back pain as a result of my job as a programmer and the only way I was able to fix it was to go to a good physical therapist and actually follow through on the physical therapy. My pain was a result of a number of muscle imbalances and posture issues and it took a few months of every-day work to fix the problem.

I suspect that the OP has a specific muscle imbalance that archery just happened to target well. But it's unlikely that this broad recommendation is going to work for everyone with back pain as the causes are myriad.

This is how capitalism works. Companies (and individuals) try to maximise their own profits; and (ideally) the most profitable course of action is the one which is the most beneficial to the most people. Altruism has no place in it.

And yet, people are continually surprised and disappointed when a company takes a profitable course of action, rather than ignoring profits for altruistic reasons.
The cancer increase would be for launching from the ground/atmospheric use, which is a non-starter. I'm talking about use to run an orbital shuttle/tug/etc. between Earth and Mars. It would never enter atmosphere, and probably be constructed in space.

The US has enough weapons that it could comfortably withdraw from the treaty, or claim that these launches are not "tests" but rather some other use.
Hmm, now I kinda want to use the app to see if/when anything gets posted about me. But I don't want to help this become more of a thing. And I sure as hell don't want to give it access to my Facebook account.

Edit: saw the “no boys allowed” clause. Great. So I guess using it would require a fake Facebook account?
Even funnier is claiming that the gold/silver standards resulted in more stable financial systems. Inflation, deflation, and starvation of capital were huge problems before we switched to debt-based currencies.

They also equate "no central banking" with commodity-based currency. The United State's 19th century experiments with disbanding central banking wasn't exactly an economic revolution.
It depends on what parts you're using. If you're using Mendeley mainly as a personal reference manager, Zotero is as good as Mendeley or better imo. But it doesn't have a web-based social layer like Mendeley does, for people who like that part.

I'm always surprised that iTunes affiliation is not very well known. It's in fact the base of a lot of business model: Apps Gratis, Free App the Day etc... Assuming you're sending a customer to the App Store from your app or your website, by any means (link to a free app, link to a paid app etc...), you're becoming an App Store affiliate and get a percentage of everything that buys this customer for 72 hours. I think this percentage is something like 5%...

Affiliation is not limited to Apple App Store, affiliation exists also on Amazon for instance, but not on Google Play, for the moment.

It's important to note that you can becomes affiliate even if your send a customer to the App Store with a free app (for instance Angry Birds Lite), and that at any time there is only one affiliate by device: that's why any apps recommendation will send you push notification each day to remain the current affiliate.
And affiliation is not directly managed by Apple but by LinkShare for US, and TradeDoubler for Europe.

A last thing, doing affiliation is really easy:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meon/id400274934?mt=8 => a link to my app without any affiliation

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meon/id400274934?mt=8&par... => a link to my app with Linkshare identifier (partnerId=30) and my company identifier (siteID=pPE4bVE6DtE)
Exactly. As offensive, shallow, and demeaning as Lulu might be it really isn't anything new. Trashy people of both sexes have used Facebook for gossipy purposes such as this for years. By now we should all have learned how to prune our relationship tree and unfriend, avoid, and block people who do this sort of thing. Anyone who would use a site like Lulu is not worthy to be a friend, much less a significant other.

There was a time a few years ago when I was playing online poker or working on personal projects every evening until about midnight or a little later, then waking up before 5 am to work. Both the work and the poker were fascinating. I had no problems staying awake while doing them, and I did well at both. I didn't even feel tired most of the time.

There were some bad effects though. If my immediate task wasn't engaging (a boring task or speech for example), I had to work really hard to stay awake. My typical daily cycle of alert and productive in the morning, and dull and sleepy in the afternoon became much deeper. I felt more creative and congenial during the high points and much more lethargic during the valleys.

After a few months, I began to realize another downside. Although I was able to function well tactically on moment-by-moment tasks that required constant attention, my ability to make good strategic decisions really began to suffer. It was as though the effort to deeply think things through long-term went totally down the drain. This began to scare me after a while.

Everything changed when I took a new job in a distant city and simultaneously decided to stop playing poker for a while. I lived by myself in a tiny room in the suburbs and rode my bike to work seven miles each way. The new environment, exercise and huge lessening of daily commitments caused me to take things a lot slower. I began reading a lot, reflecting about things, and started sleeping around seven hours a night.

I became less manic, definitely healthier, and more peaceful and introspective. I didn't instantly fall asleep when I was bored, but slept very soundly at night. Of course a lot of that could be the result of a simpler, more active life. But I think the increased sleep had a major influence too.

I started playing poker again, and I found that I was consistently doing better than before. I started reacquainting myself with math, and could think much more deeply about it.

I wonder how this applies to Thatcher? She obviously had a very engaging job, and she seemed able to keep up with the details of her work. But if she had slept more, would she had been less radical, perhaps more conciliatory? Would that have dulled her edge and reduced her achievements or helped her bring more people on board and be less polarizing? Would she had made better long-term decisions? Did the extra hours of wakefulness really help her get more done or was she just trading weekday hours awake for weekend hours asleep?

In my own life, I've decided to keep to a longer sleep schedule for now. I'm always tempted to go back to the exciting mania the previous schedule, but for me, the benefits are uncertain and the costs are pretty scary.
> Let's talk about the gender ratio today in Congress, or among Fortune 500 CEOs.

The few male at the top are supported by an army of women in leading positions, such as project manager and director. Under these women are many, many more men with lesser roles.

Women have it good in the middle to upper regions of corporate and politics. In those roles they are very appreciated and have lots of real power (and get to boss around other men).

It should be interesting to know how many have women as direct superiors vs viceversa.
Wow, that sounds like a dream for a startup. I'm getting fairly close to releasing a beta and people like that would be awesome. In fact, I've been thinking that maybe if I charge a nominal amount (a dollar or something similar) to try the beta, it might act as a filter for these kinds of people. Lately, however, the cynic in me is saying that I'll just end up with no one :(.
I had no idea that flagging was essentially a down-vote. Thanks.
Standard modern HDD serves up ~150MB/sec, SATA 6Gbps SSD over 500MB/sec for large sequential I/Os. Both easily saturate 1GbE.

At home, I'm running an 8-port SATA RAID controller (but with ZFS, so not using the RAID firmware). I'd say it could saturate 10GbE. But it's true I'm not the average consumer.
Good write up! I've been on the look out for examples of larger migrations from Backbone to Angular. I'm about to tackle one myself, but wanted to make sure it was the right decision before diving in.
IMO prisons should be about taking away peoples freedom, not about treating them like animals. But many people seem to be more concerned about their utility or lack thereof, for example if having a death sentence for death convicts costs more than life in prison or vice versa. Or the idea of having them work as effectively slave labour.
I think you're right... Randall is an evil genius, especially when he ends it and someone says "Time Stopped!"
Who says it has to come from hard drives? Look at things like redis or memcached that are serving out of RAM.
If you're a ruby developer I strongly encourage you to check out the source code and parsing in general. This is heavily using parslet [1] to build a css parser [2]. I'm sure there are edge cases I have missed, but still the LOC for this codebase is relatively small and fairly readable.

Stay away from the RedundancyAnalyzer though. There be dragons.
