This is the reason why, if we are to keep allowing patents on genes, we have to be extremely careful on what we allow, and what we don't. For instance, let's take Soybeans. There have been lawsuits out there claiming that someone&

Great, if the GMO yields less, the farmer doesn't buy it again, and then the market deals with the problem. Definition of yield? Bushels per acre, or kg per hectare. There's not much of an issue there. The same plant might yield v

Even without terminator seeds, replanting seed that you harvested is not necessarily a good idea. For instance, most commercial corn seeds are hybrids, made by crossing two highly inbred plants. This means that the seeds in the bag have pre

Augmented reality won't tell me that two pairs of pants, from the same store, that say they are 30 inches long at the waist, are really 29 and 31. Different colors mean different suppliers and different results. The technology that wil

While it's true that many people do not really learn or understand scrum, I do not think that just getting a good trainer is the most common problem. There is something way worse, and harder to cure: You can't teach something to s

I'd argue that the solution to the problem is to make sure null can't happen, ever. It's way too much boilerplate in Java, but par for the course in, say, Scala. If it can really be null, and it makes sense for it to happen,

The same kind of approach from Kotov can be used on net runner, or more traditional CCGs. You can see how that works in Magic, for instance, where the top players have major amounts of visibility. Someone like Luis Scott Vargas plays plenty
