well put, hayksaakian. Also, never underestimate the built in auto-correct of the human mind :) There will always be a market for expert-curated approaches, but sometimes it's just cheaper to algorithmically "Crunch" it. Sometimes RAIN MAN counting toothpicks is enough, but when you need Ramanujam... :D

Also, do keep in mind... this is 2 hrs worth of coding time late on a sunday night. I don't have a CS degree, just a utilitarian/curious programmer who sometimes is stupid enough not to realize how hard a problem I'm tackling. :) Someone better qualified can do a much better job. Sometimes "just good enough" is good enough! :)

you are dis-informed.
You're free to use non GM seeds (or GM from Monsanto's competitors). What's stopping you and other farmers (many of whom do not use GM)?
Not a problem most of Europe has though. We love a good bit of socialism over here! ... Or most of us do anyway...
How can we get Google Support?
The Symfony project, an Open-Source project (http://symfony.com/), uses Google Groups to host its mailing-lists. The service is free and we really appreciate it, but for no reasons, Google closed our access to one of our mailing-lists (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/symfony2).

That happened a few weeks ago and thanks to some inside people at Google, the mailing-list reappeared. As the admin of the list, I received no email about the closing of the mailing-list, no explanations, and not even an email when the mailing-list reopened after a few days of black-out.

I was not happy with this situation but I thought it was just a glitch. But then, some days ago, they did it again. The mailing-list is not accessible anymore, not even by me (the admin).

There is no way to get support, no way to get in touch with someone at Google. This is really frustrating. Of course, this is a free service and Google can do whatever they want, but I would at least expect a way to get some kind of support (hell, I'm even ready to pay fot it)... or at least, some kind of email (even an automatic one) telling me what we did wrong (and I doubt that we did anything wrong as the mailing-list is moderated and we are only talking about yet another PHP framework).

HELP! How can I get in touch with someone at Google? How can we get by our mailing-list?
I think the suggestion is that the fusion is achieved only around the tiny pellet, and that the fusion acts against the magnetic containment to actually propel the pellet out the back. That's my guess - which slightly beats the idea they have achieved sustainable net positive energy fusion but cannot be bothered to solve all the worlds energy problems and become trillionaires.
Even AT&T knows how to run a service that requires customer contact/billing as telecoms does. Google has zero experience in both building/running/maintaining physical telco plant.

And Google has terrible /nonexistant customer service Ernestine the operator would be a major improvement in customer service for google.

Sounds like your parents are supporting you, so let's put this in TechCrunch terms. They're your majority equity holders, and they're calling the shots. The easiest way to get 100% equity in your life is to finish college and be able to support yourself. It's truly liberating to be financially independent, and you'll never have these arguments again (and if you do it's purely to humor them).

To me it sounds like you can do college but you care about other things more. Maybe you should compromise and try to get a freelancing career off the ground. In that sense, you're an independent business owner, you have freedom, you can support yourself, and you can easily work part time and do side projects. But getting going as a freelancer is a lot of work. If you must, ask your parents' support for this for a few years until you're self-supporting.

I wonder who gets f.ml.
I agree with "for now" but not "for many years". Right now, most or all automatic summarizers are doing extraction. Which is just lifting sentences from the original article itself. It is different from the human perception of summary, which is abstraction. That uses the most important parts of the article and paraphrase it for easy reading.

Right now, abstraction or paraphrasing is hard to do by a computer. But I think and hopefully it will be possible in few years time. There are various open source and academic tools that can do some pretty good NLP. I'm looking into Apache OpenNLP, and WordNet. I'm hoping for 2 or 3 years time.

BTW, I have an app similar to your tldr.io. Check my HN comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5523770) for more info about it. ;)
1) The problem with poor people not having enough to eat is unrelated to underproduction of food. It's a much more complex problem then that.

2) Ask the thousands of Indian farmers who committed suicide because their crops failed how helpful Monsanto was.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1082559/The-GM-genoc...

"When crops failed in the past, farmers could still save seeds and replant them the following year.

But with GM seeds they cannot do this. That's because GM seeds contain so- called 'terminator technology', meaning that they have been genetically modified so that the resulting crops do not produce viable seeds of their own.

As a result, farmers have to buy new seeds each year at the same punitive prices. For some, that means the difference between life and death."

3) Monsant's entire argument rests on taking farmers' rights away. From TFA:

"Monsanto contends that the patent violation is Bowman's fault because he took the grains and used them to create new versions of Monsanto's patented soybeans that Monsanto, the patent holder, hadn't sold him."

Monsanto wants planting a seed to be patent violation. They want to stop you buying something and putting it into the ground.

Fuck Monsanto and everything that they stand for.

I am not validating these sources but suggest that there is a known approach that collapses aluminium over a core deuterium tritium. It is not self sustaining, but it generates some net positive energy, thus enough I guess to throw a pellet out the door

> Why in the world would anybody spend any money to try to improve the seed

There was a time when some people actually invented things to make the world a better place, or even to further their academic career. With the help of such judges, this era has apparently come to an end. We will never beat famine, we'll just help the plagued 3rd world become 100% dependent on the likes of Monsanto.
Don't use Google services, especially for business purposes. Paid support is about as good as free support at Google.
I live in Vietnam and almost every day I see the heartbreaking consequences of Monsanto's involvement in the dioxin poisoning of this country. As far as I'm concerned this company should be liquidated and the proceeds distributed to the people still suffering every day as a result.

Putting the future of agriculture in the hands of a company this immoral is simply insane.

We did consider Discourse and phpBB as migration options, but it seems there is no solution that will make everyone happy (there already is a forum in parallel to the mailing list actually). Many people like the mailing list concept and like to manage all this in their inbox.

Obviously switching to a self-hosted mailman is an option too. But having no access whatsoever to the group, migration is kind of a pain since you have no way of even contacting everyone that was subscribed.

Highcharts is cheaper if you use it for a single webpage (90$) but if you want to use if for a real web app it's more expensive (590$ for a single developer).
Having said that, in my enterprise my dev colleagues use it and they think it's a great product.

EDIT: if you host it for a personal/non-profit project it is free according to Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License

another product we've used in the past is Amcharts, good buy maybe not good as Highcharts
In my opinion software is actually much, much harder than hardware and there are only a few large organizations that do it well. Samsung is definitely not one of them. I don't expect their contributions to amount to much here but I'll be pleasantly surprised if they do.
The argument "making food cheaper for the poor" doesn't give you a pass messing with nature and people's health. I can make food cheaper by killing half of the population since there's going to be more left for the rest of us! Does this justify my action?

Get real, food has grown and can grow naturally and there are natural ways to have healthy crops that don't need dangerous pesticides. Nature has been working in a balance since ever and they are messing with it. It's MY nature they are messing with. All they're doing is maximizing profits at the expense of everything and everybody else.

Yeap. Moving the goalposts. You said "The right to speak freely against the government".

If you said "free speech" in general, yes, you'd be right.

But you said "speaking out against the government".

Right now, you've only shown that the US is somehow better because you're allowed to freely deny the Holocaust. Let's put your "god hates fags" guy in the same category. Such a free country!

See, my point is not that these anti-holocaust-denying laws are silly, they are and I wish they'd go away.

The point is, how does your "free speech" protect you when you've actually got something to say. So far you've demonstrated American citizens have the right to inane and offensive yelling, that doesn't actually speak out in any effective way against the government.

Let's see some real examples, where someone exercised their right to free speech of something that actually made the government actually really uncomfortable that actually really led to change, as well as a similar example where this was not possible in a EU country because its people didn't have the right.

And there's been enough examples, also in the US, of people gagged (with legal rulings) because of what they would have to say would make the government uncomfortable.

In practice, your right is the Freedom to Scream Dumb Shit. Don't delude yourself it's actually anything more than that. Maybe "Freedom to play court jester" sounds a bit more forgiving. I'm not saying the EU-"no holocaust denying"-countries are any better, but it's not "free speech" if it only protects raging lunatics.

I'm just a curious user - How can a start-up be profitable if it charges only a one-off fee, and that too only something as low as $50-$60? I think it's a very risky business model.

In my opinion, it's a terrible trade off and you're probably going to bite more than you can chew. Let me explain. For example, let's consider two apps A and B.

A charges a $50 one-off fee and B charges a $20 recurring fee. Sure, A will grow exponentially and you will appear to be instantly profitable, but it's a risk.

Think of this - You take $50 from the customer only ONCE this means, for the next two years, you need to pay for his support from your pocket. More the customers, more the support needed and more you will end up burning your pocket.

The problem with exponential growth is that it becomes static after a while and this is when things will become ugly. It will be a difficult situation because you can't switch to charging your customers monthly, because you've already charged them once. You will have very few options left then.

I can't imagine supporting a million users through a support system that I'm paying off monthly, but from an income that isn't monthly.

I think the best way would be to charge the customer annually like $99/yr or something like that..

This is a good read:

This is the quintessential HN holier-than-thou comment. Out of the range of problems facing society that you could solve, of all the ways you could create value by making peoples' lives better, you settled on "pissing on someone's app".

Now, this is probably a completely rational move from your perspective. HN over the last few years has been backstopped by middlebrow-dismissals and other such poo-poo-ings, and bored programmers desperate to win karma are often very willing to waste hours crafting popular but mean comments. From your previous comments at least, it certainly doesn't look like you are just trolling. You're probably a very talented, capable person.

Since you seem to work at Transcriptic, I won't begrudge you your karma. However, I do lament the idea that the best minds of a generation are being focused on getting people to dismiss others' creations and directing all creative effort to what you deem to be "important problems". I don't buy the idea that you wouldn't be focused on a "better" use of your time if HN didn't exist; of course you would. This kind of talent is ambitious and gets things done. The idea that these are the types of comments that rise to the top is just a monumental lapse of discussion quality on HN. Scratching your own itch is an amazing thing, and we can do so much with it. I really think it's just an attitude issue -- people are used to dismissing new technology as frivolous, and mobile apps, in particular, seem totally pointless. How do we become less dismissive and more encouraging to makers?

how self-referential
> Am I the only one who is completely underwhelmed by this one?

Well--that's possibly a bit premature. After all, we haven't seen how it ends yet. Give it time? :)
This is misinformed.

Firstly, Monsanto, Syngenta, and their ilk have dominated the world seed market since the 1950s. GM food is completely independent of them. Monsanto may be the largest US producer of GM seed today, but the next generation of GM plants that are being worked on are designed to solve a wide range of humanitarian problems. Please, don't make your mind up about a technology with myriad potentially life-saving uses based on one company's commercial implementation. They don't define plant science.

Secondly, the jury is emphatically not still out on the consequences. As with climat change, in the independent scientific literature there is an overwhelming consensus that the technology itself is fundamentally safe, that each new implementation must be assessed separately, and that the risks in general are lower than those for conventionally bred crops.
2 - That's where relative line numbers come in.
This is important. I think ambition is also important. Someone who is extremely ambitious but has had 0 successes probably needs to scale back. Someone with plenty of successes but no failures might want to think about scaling up their ambitions.
Great point about the flyers!
Power corrupts, profit corrupts, how transparent are these "consensus" really? Because everything I see points to the other direction. Are you ignorant or are you deliberately trying to convince me that Monsanto is good for me? Am I nine or something?
PCManFM Qt file manager, the first Qt port of PCManFM, ver 0.1.0 released
Actually, no it doesn't. Since the green revolution the vast majority of farming has relied on first-generation hybrids, taking advantage of the phenomenon of hybrid vigour, in which only the first generation show improved agronomic traits. That means it's economically more efficient for farmers to buy the seeds each year from a producer who focusses on breeding, while the farmer focusses on growing.

That's been the case since the early 20th century, and licensed GM seed continues the same practise of breeder-farmer relationship with licenses.
Shutting down a free service that they own... evil?
Well, I have to give you all my contact info first just to see how did you implemented "Goals" - the only part which may (or may not) be different from other recruiters - and the part I want to look at to decide whether you deserve my contact info. Not very clever, huh, especially for that 'sociopathic engineers' whom you see as your primary audience.

And what's the difference, really? Fancy design when the main part will still be mechanical keywords matching between resume and vacation description, I suppose?
Try and listen to yourself. You sound really excited because you paid for their service, and even got to talk to an employee at the office when you had a problem. Think about if other companies would treat you like this, then good support would not be the word to use...

My understanding is that "hot" fusion is actually fairly easy - it's generating a surplus of energy from fusion[*] outside of a nuclear weapon that is the tricky part.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusor

[Note: Typically in most H-bomb designs most of the energy still comes from fission - the fast neutrons from the fusion in the secondary igniting fission of the DU tamper round the secondary].
The reddit post is mine and was about Sendy (without disclosing its name).
From what I understand, AppGratis was pushing apps to top ranks. For Apple this is probably equivalent to bots behavior. A company that guarantees top ranks is not welcome in the App Store.

In addition being a user myself i have observed that many times if not all the time, apps they promote are not disclosed as advertising to their users and in addition many times are not deals at all when the company is promising one paid to free apps every day. For example today apps being promoted is Mobli, which was always free (Right?).

One more thing, they were also claiming "negotiating" those deals with developers. But here also I noticed that many times they were just taking the deals from others like Apple free app of the week. Is that wrong? no.... but they were presenting it in a way that makes a user believe the deal was brought by them and not by Apple or whoever.

I also never liked how the company is forcing me to tweet before getting a deal to download.

Probably the company was too "agressive" and this is what Apple did not like. They are referring to the rules the company violated but in my opinion and again as a simple ex user observer it looks that the company was very agressive in their business practices.
Monsanto is taking advantage of nature's proliferation to claim increasing ownership of what was originally an abundant resource (plant life).

Taking anything that is naturally abundant and making it artificially scarce is perverse and evil.
Hmm, a little goggling gives a hint this may not be BS after all.

I am unclear on the exact methods, but there appears to be existing research into generating a plasma "pinch" via compression of aluminium around a core of detrinium-tritium. This generates a massive magnetic-flux (which seems to be a result of actual fusion during the compression) and if it is held in a magnetic cage with an out at the back, you have propulsion.
