Comment Try hiring people who are good interviews.... (Score 1) 397

Try talking to the people you interview. Get to know them. see how they will mesh. The compensation should be a step program:
No previous experience: come in at half the HR rate for your position, after 3 months, decide if this junior dev will grow and mesh well and then pay them the full rate.

Do they have work experience? Give them a month if they are working with technologies they are familiar with. Give them 3 months if the tech is new. Have higher standards related to growth and evaluate the team mesh.

HR also needs to suck less to hire people. Lower the red tape so you don't create a disinsensitive to managers looking for staff (discourages people from dumping waste and makes it easier to hire people as a trial)

You are completely misrepresenting what happened. You also ignore that food patents have been common for decades well before GMO was even a glint in the eyes of anyone. You can, and people do, patent foods that were created via "traditional" means....Honeycrisp Apples are an example of this....Now....If a bird ate one of those apples, shat it out on another farmer's field and a tree grew...no one would sue that farmer....if that farmer then harvested those apples and started planting HC trees to commercially profit from his accidental tree growth, the patent holders of the HC apple can sue the farmer because he did not pay them for the rights to grow the apple (rights that come with strict brand requirements)

No farmer that actually financially supports themselves from growing hundreds of acres of crops "save their seeds". They buy every year because they know commercially produced seed (even non GMO seed) is more productive as it nearly eliminates the risk of seeds not germinating under proper conditions (AKA Dud seeds).
