Thanks Mark, we've actually read your HIPAA policies. And yes, you're correct, there's a lot more to HIPAA compliance than how you store your data. We will continue to move down the path of treating everything as being PHI ev

That's fair. As it's our launch day, there are a few things like this that we'll get in place as quickly as we can. For what it's worth until we can do that, here's a quick rundown: all data is transmitted over http

Unfortunately there isn't a lot of guidance here. We store your email address, which doesn't have to be an identifier as it can be anonymous, but we have to have a way to communicate with you. And we do ask for a name, but you can

I love the idea of recommending how to approach this topic with a GP. We've been a little careful, as described in another comment, about crossing the line of providing medical advice. Currently, we see Pacifica as a self-help tool. We

This is a great question. Technically, we don't store Protected Health Information ("Personal health information (PHI), also referred to as protected health information, generally refers to demographic information, medical history

Thanks for the questions. Hopefully I can answer the satisfactorily: 1) We don't do anything with it other than use it to provide the best user experience we can. We won't turn it over to other organizations. Technically, the thou

As a fairly young company, this is something we can clearly improve. The privacy policy we have was written by our lawyers and is fairly standard. Could you expand a bit on what seems murky? In addition, it obviously isn't enough to ju

Thanks for the comment. We actually agree entirely. One of the most effective ways to combat anxiety is through a combination of psychiatric drugs administered alongside CBT. Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to pursue professional

Chartist.js just had a lot of support on HN, although I haven't used it. I've used Raphaël but customizing it can actually be a bit hard. Chart.js is simple, easy to use, and just powerful enough for most cases.

I like Highcharts a lot and we are paying for and using it, but be careful with the licensing. Chances are you'll need to pay $390 for it unless you're using it on a single domain, in which case it's $90. And that's for

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I've seen the exact opposite of this. Given too much freedom, I've seen designers and product managers derail entire development cycles. Compare a few days for a single designer against two

Definitely agree. I use liquibase so that I can check database migrations into source control and have an easy way for other developers to update to the new schema without having to understand a whole lot. It also provides a nice way to dro

I used mybatis at a former company. I liked it, but on the spectrum of ORM-like frameworks, it had just enough non-code configuration behind it that junior developers, or developers who aren't working in that type of code very often, s

I've been using JDBI for a new project for about a month or so and I like it a lot as well. I will say that the documentation is a bit sparse though, or at the least hard to find by digging through blog posts. When I figure out how to

I've been using Ionic for about a month now. For the most part, it's a great tool to get something off the ground. I'm not positive if it'll hold up to our expectations of a native app yet, but I'm optimistic. I hav

This is a step in the right direction for them, but in order for Dropbox to be the go-to provider for small businesses they're going to need to integrate better into the every day lives of people at those companies. Features like volum

I have this argument with people a lot. I'm surprised that nobody talks about serving multiple applications from the same service layer. Sure, you can have a web app and then a separate API for mobile clients, but why not just have a RESTfu

Please elaborate. So many people on HN love their newest language of choice and overlook frameworks like this because it isn't as sexy. As I mentioned in my previous comment, we have a pretty large site by most standards and are happy with

Regarding the debugging features, I think things have gotten a lot better. Debugging is done in Eclipse and you're debugging java, not javascript (if that wasn't clear to some). It honestly works really well. I think there are also quite a
