No, you don't have to, but we take security very very seriously. However, we are not a covered entity in the eyes of HIPAA, but we do go above and beyond their guidelines for storing and transmitting patient data.

Yeah, definitely inspired, though I think it's just the homepage, we are working on a new one.

I'm curious. Does hosting with Amazon imply EC2? Or S3 static files? Or some other form of hosting I am unaware of?

I'd add a quick section for a basic iptables setup as well, with holes for the appropriate services.

Developers should know going in, that there is a huge risk in getting your app approved. It's unfortunate that there are tangential casualties like this, but, again, this risk should be well understood going into development.

I can't speak for everyone, but in regard to CS, I, and many of my colleagues, learned most of our trade from books, experience, and each other. I never really found much utility for lecturers in CS classes in college. I learned just as wel

Notice I said, "at the end of the day." I certainly didn't mean to trivialize the task. Only to say that you can build a web app (and certainly some already exist) the could "kill" the traditional EMR systems. I'm well aware of the complexi

By iteration, I mean one loop of my algorithm. I'm not brute forcing. There are a few other calculations I'm doing in addition to the hamming distance and the hash. I'm relying heavily on the random characters you get to append.

Not running C directly, but getting about 200,000 iterations per second running through an Nvidia GPU through CUDA and the Python wrapper PyCUDA.

Hamming distance? Lowest looks like 31, and I've seen a bunch around there, but to save on iterations it's only dumping out every 1 million comparison, or ones less than 20. What's notable is that my average is in the mid 30s. Seems like th

There are a lot of industries the Net should 'kill.' Take health care technology for example. At the end of the day electronic medical records are just getting data in/out of a system. The Net, or the web, is great at this. You can make thi

Any PACS vendor is potentially a competitor. However, a PACS is a much larger solution that this. Really PacsDrive is just the 'A' in PACS (picture archiving and communication system). Of course, data warehousing companies like Roark Data a

Oops, I guess I wasn't clear. $200/mo is the amount it will cost me per month to run the business (hosting, merchant expenses, etc.). Marketing is not included in this. I can spend more on marketing, but don't have the huge coffers that som
