Consequences are a real bitch, aren't they? Sucks to be that guy, but maybe you should have thought about that before stealing and release people's personal data.
but isn't the main crux of the case the fact that monsanto changes roundup every year such that only the new strain soybeans is resistent to it?

if roundup was readily copy-able, how could this be possible?
It's a real problem. I do SEO for a living and work with hundreds of sites at a large agency. I've seen several hit with negative SEO from competitors ordering link gigs on Fiverr or asking some low quality link provider on Digital Point to build 10,000 links in a short period of time.

This has killed rankings for a few sites that I've worked with. It is really easy to get thousands of spam/porn sites to link to a competitor with exact match anchor text for whatever keyword you want. And it's basically impossible to figure out which competitor is doing it to you.

Google used to just 'devalue' all crap links pointing to a site. A link could never hurt you. Now that links can hurt your site, it's totally wide open for this type of thing to happen.

Here's a good case study/experiment done on negative SEO if anybody is interested in further reading: http://trafficplanet.com/topic/2372-successful-negative-seo-...

I'm concerned that one of the only companies working on the efficiency of food production has such bad PR. Is there anyone else inventing innovative crop technologies like Monsanto? For the future of the human species, I hope the anti-corporation types don't gather enough power to drive them into the ground before capable competitors pop up.
And how exactly do patents help you here?

Can you provide some examples?

There may be limits on his activity that were included in sentencing.
The basic premise is you set up a landing page that sells your product or service, and after someone clicks "buy" "add to cart" or "sign up" you count that as a conversion.

With DPI and other methods it would be possible for the carriers to identify and block most tethered traffic. From what I've seen none of them are doing that yet. If you can enable your device to tether technically you can do it but unless you're paying for a tethering plan it is breaking the terms of service you agreed to. Most carriers are now at least identifying tethered traffic and warning customers. Some do it simply guessing on data usage numbers and some are using DPI or other methods to be more precise.
Depends: if you're small, then you might have low-hanging fruit and bigger conversion increases might be possible. If that happens to be true then measuring things is tractable.
First off, I'm ignoring profit because that has nothing to do with whether there is patent infringement.

Now, we have to look at what the farmer did. He didn't have some sneaky process of recreating Monsanto's genetic injection but pretending he wasn't aware of what the result would be. He wasn't in any way following the blueprint in the patent to replicate the described device. He was only planting seeds.

Basically I'm looking at this from a couple directions. On the intent front, he definitely intended to get himself more of these seeds. But on the intellectual property front, he did not need to use the information in the patent to get more seeds.

If you have a patent on a device carved from wood and someone else carves it, blatant infringement. If someone else has a tree that unguided creates the same shape, you shouldn't be able to go after them. Even if you invented the tree.
What personal data did he "steal" and "release?"

My memory may be wrong, but I recall Auernheimer downloaded about ~115K email addresses from a non-password protected portion of AT&T's web site and provided them to Gawker. This may be misguided, and certainly the court system found him guilty. But it's not what most people view as "stealing" and "releasing" sensitive personal information.
This isn't natural biology... it's engineered biology. That's a big difference.
AT&T leaves the door open with your stuff inside. Its a little different. They should have some responsibility to protect all that personal goodness they seem oh so willing to demand of you.
I got my information from the documentaries "The Future of Food" and "Food, Inc" both of which have an obvious bias. I'm having trouble tracking down any other citations at the moment.

Here is a [again, biased] citation about Monsanto suing people for saving seeds, allegedly going so far as to forge documents: http://nelsonfarm.net/issue.htm
The Value of Hiring through Referrals
"We're booked" saved my business. I was taking on too much business and finally decided to make a waitlist. I would tell people what # they'd be on the list and about how long it would take until delivery. That way I was still adding about 50% of the prospects to the list, since they didn't mind waiting. Had I not done this, I would've risked all my clients -- and my reputation.

I remember Altigen well. My first company, PhoneZone, sold PC based and VoIP phone systems. Altigen is pretty old now, but at the time (late 90s) it was way better and cheaper than the crap Nortel etc sold. We sold those things like pancakes, once to a customer in Mongolia.

Asterisk has been around for a while. Your call volume is not that huge so my guess is that it will handle it. In rough numbers, I'd guestimate 650 calls/day (20 days/month), so depending on average call duration, a medium size system should work. Do you know how many trunks you have into the system?
Will they?

My 3100mAh Galaxy Note II has 4G, and the battery life is noticeably worse than my old 1200mAh iPhone 3G.

Battery tech has long been one of the biggest limiting factors in mobile tech, and I'm not quite sure that advances in energy density are moving as quickly as everything else. Which means I think that batteries are slowly lasting less long as energy usage of new features consistently outstrips improvements in the tech.

Remember when phones used to last a week or a month? Now we're lucky to get a day, day and a half.
Most of the people I know with this problem have trouble even meeting people, which tends to be a prerequisite for making friends and forming relationships - let alone successful long-term ones that could become marriages.
>Something the article does not touch on is accepting the reality of alone-ness: we're all alone together (quote from an old friend).

I don't think this is the same thing. Some people are demonstrably more alone than others, such as closeted men during the AIDS epidemic.
I think this gives users too many decisions to make. Too much choice can be daunting.
I think the biggest problem that Google can't fix is that they treat links as a voting mechanism

They treat public links as a voting mechanism. Unfortunately, in the era of social networking, and maybe outside of their own Google+ network, they probably don't even see the majority of high quality links based on honest personal recommendations any more.

Ultimately, I think this is going to be a good thing. Relying on a single, unaccountable source for most of your traffic was always a risky prospect for a small business, however good your products/services might be. I'm much happier with the situation we're seeing now, where search traffic represents maybe 30-40% of our total visits over a month, social networks are collectively a larger part, and there's also a substantial minority of direct traffic that presumably came from off-line word of mouth referrals and/or more traditional marketing channels where we use them.
A couple people have mentioned that the Roundup formula changes every year. Where did that idea come from? Roundup's active ingredient is glyphosate, aka N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, and it's been that way since Roundup was introduced in the 1970s.
As a Canadian, this makes me extremely sad. I always saw Canada as progressive ... hopefully the next government will flip this around.

FTA: Loneliness isn't necessarily about social interaction or spending time by oneself or with other people. It's the desire for intimacy.

These are great! Thank you Evan. Your sample size calculator is wonderful and beats the hell out of the 90s tool I've been using which cautions me that my browser must support "JavaScript" to use it :)

As an alternative to the Chi-squared calculator, people might want to check out ABBA, a tool I wrote here at Thumbtack:

http://www.thumbtack.com/labs/abba/

It shares the visual component and the linkability, two great features you've nailed. It lacks the live updating and the slider, which is really cool and something I've wanted to add to ABBA for a long time. On the other hand, it supports multiple groups compared against the baseline simultaneously and incorporates a correction for multiple testing into its p-values and confidence intervals, which can be handy. It also uses different mathematics under the hood, but that's not going to be a concern for most users.

Glad to see another step towards a more statistically-aware world!
As is my case. it's hard enough just greeting someone let alone forming a lasting bond that eventuates into some situation allowing for intimacy.
No. ActiveRecord checks for constraints on top of what the database offers. You are free to specify database constraints if you like. In older versions of ActiveRecord, uniqueness errors generate a generic database exception. In recent versions, uniqueness errors generate the specific exception RecordNotUnique.

I couldn't help but laugh reading the first link. Sure, there are some good ideas for optimization. But (1) no profiling, and (2) there are a couple really bogus suggestions.

For example, suggestion #33, to shift by a constant amount instead of a variable amount. You see, it only looks like you're shifting by a variable amount. This is one of those things that compilers have been optimizing for years and are very good at: strength reduction wrt variables that depend on the loop variable.

You'll also see game programmers do things like "x >> 4" instead of "x/16", because "x >> 4" is faster. It is faster in assembly language, but your compiler already knows that and you are just making the code harder to read every time you do a micro-optimization.

Game programmers spread the gospel on lots of premature optimization nonsense, in my opinion, and are mostly inexperienced when it comes to writing mantainable code. It's a kind of hazard of the industry. Performance problems means cutting beloved features, and rather than doing any maintenance you just start a new game from scratch. (Not universally, of course. There are a few programmers professionally working on engines.)

I liked this article but it sort of ignores the school of graphic designers who dared to write copy. Three good examples of this would be Bob Gill, George Lois and later Tibor Kalman. In fact not only would these designers write copy, but they'd often come up with the larger concept itself.
Wait, wait, stop everything.

You haven't seen the movie, so you have no first-hand knowledge of the relevant issues the co-director is trying to address. Specifically, the issue is not feminine identity as a whole (or the fact that Disney has 8-9 other princesses who have that demographic pretty much sewn up) but that one of the biggest themes in Brave is that Merida doesn't want to be the stereotypical princess that society says she has to be; she can and does choose to be the tomboy archer who goes her own way.

BUT NO! Intelligent discussion and on-topic conversation be damned, you have something to say about your five sisters and how they like to bake in sparkly clothes while you like to be manly! GREAT! GO DO THAT! NO ONE IS SAYING YOU CAN'T.

But that's not good enough. Instead, you create a contrarian strawman that has nothing to do with the OP but that riles up the internet masses who want to defend personal visions of gender identity which have never been in question. If internet comments mattered, I'd call your behavior shameful, but that'd be overselling it. Instead I'll just point out that you have no room to speak about intellectual communities if this is your modus operandi.
This _sounds_ like great advice, and "I want to believe" too, but this article is not convincing. The way it's written, I just see some principles flatly stated and not even backed up with anecdote--it's not even a data point. The HN title "A Learned Learned..." contains the most indication that the OP is speaking from experience and not off the top of his head.

Forgive me for not knowing the OP, his experience/reputation, or his company and its product. I expected a bit more explanation for his position. Also, I'm a bit skeptical of the "refundable credit" for a non-existing service or product. I'd like to hear more about how that's possible.
Announcing Lighting w/ actionable, contextual and analytical DB
Oh I'm sure I am probably in the legal wrong.

I think that if cable companies broadcast encrypted signals in through my house, I should legally be able to decrypt them. (But I am pretty sure it is currently illegal to do that.)

I think that if I find a scanner for cell phone conversations and find cell phone conversations that are unencrypted, I should legally be able to listen to them. (But I am pretty sure it is currently illegal to do that.)

I think that if an Apple employee leaves an iPhone 6 in a bar, I should legally be able to break it apart. (But I am pretty sure it is currently illegal to do that.)

It might be ethically wrong for me to do so, but it should be legal for me to do so.

If Monsanto can't keep its products out of a community silo, and Farmer John wants to go fishing for their seeds by spraying them all with a commonly obtained chemical and seeing what survives, I think that should be legal too.
Bullshit, whatever happened to the Gmail Infinity+1 promise? Remember that counter that promised ever increasing gmail storage? This move seems to contradict that goal.
They discuss it at length to point out that he should have known he was doing something wrong, but it does not appear to be a requirement as such. They found that he was not protected by exhaustion and that he was creating new patented articles, so it's hard to see how they could come to a different conclusion even without that part.

Of course, IANAL and you should get one if it's important to be sure of that.

> And now they can't plant elevator seeds period, without paying the Monsanto tax. (I know that isn't the explicit text of the ruling, but it is certainly its result for the most marketable crops.)

No, they can't plant elevator seeds, spray them with Roundup, and then do the whole "aw shucks, looks like your seeds were the only ones that survived, who would've guessed?" routine when Monsanto comes a knocking.

Through that entire time, the cost of every incremental discovery has increased exponentially. It's not that people are addicted to public research funds, it's that it's no longer possible to do experimentally-rigorous science without massive amounts of money.

You see this phenomenon all over the place, and it's impact on industries. E.g. each generation of microprocessor fab is exponentially more expensive than the last, and the result has been that companies have been spinning off their fabs until only a handful have fab capability left.
Would love people's feedback on this. Just launched this less than a few hours ago. The message I am trying to get across may not be clear (feedback appreciated).

In the end, Lightning is a cloud based development platform that offers a different approach to standard databases. Each entry is an object. Like in the real world, an object can be actionable (like "reading" a book), is contextual (like reading the "French" book because I speak French), and has built in analytics for the different actions I perform.

The point is to simplify content creation and analytic creation. But at the same time tying it all to a user account so that the content is better targeted for users, a win for everyone.

everything you said is super true. hella super true.
Good points. The only thing i disagree with is "unguided". Instead of carving with a knife monsanto carves with dna. Despite that philosophical difference in view from you, Im not sure how i feel about the patent thing (Im not a fan of software patents either and this seems similar), however there is a layer of hysteria in the public when it comes to this subject that usually prevents issues such as patents from even being discussed.

Evan these are incredible tools, thank you for contributing another brick in the wall for those of us that bleed A/B testing :)

I would love to see Optimizely and VWO embrace similarly non-ambiguous and functional reporting as a default.

EG - just introducing Chi-Squared testing into a discussion with clients or teams that think that they're A/B testing properly by following Optimizely's graphs usually turns the discussion on it's head - "you mean there's a RANGE? well how can we be certain?" etc.

Great work, thank you!
