The HIPAA privacy doesn't apply to employers, unless that employer is self-insured. There are a bunch of rules around that. But PHI as a concept doesn't need HIPAA. In fact, it's probably good practice to isolate PHI, even if

Having worked in 3 startups that were AWS-first, I can say that you've learned the completely wrong lessons from your time at your cloud providers. Building on AWS has provided scale, security, and redundancy at a substantially lower c

From what I've noticed in our setup latency these days is in the encoder. Everyone is pretty good at pumping out segments and stuffing them into disk. Of course, I'm on AWS using SSDs, MediaStore, and CloudFront (as a testbed; we

For live video, bandwidth is a killer. If you have volume and do an upfront committment you can negotiate down to < .01/GB and below. It's crazy how much people make off of bandwidth. From what I understand, that and RAM are hu

Since you care more about cost and don't mind building it yourself, just build it yourself. ffmpeg -> MPEG-DASH -> nginx + MPEG-DASH -> your own video player.

That's why we have an RDS cluster. We're not multi-region because, frankly, if the region barfs we can blame it on Amazon. And in any case we'll still deliver just fine as long as cloudfront keeps going.

Having multiple accounts reduces the potential blast radius tremendously. Anyone who hasn't accidentally deleted "stuff" in the wrong account is someone who hasn't been doing production work for long. One big downside is

Interesting that you used ProductHunt. I looked at their site and couldn't figure out if anyone actually paid attention to it. I suppose for tech journalists and investors it's a better place to find interesting stuff than PR news

Compiler optimization at this point is probably pointless. If you're running an interpreted language than your JIT is more important than your compiler tricks (although you could argue your JIT is your compiler). If you're on a mu

Most startups fail because of business side problems, not technical problems. Sales and marketing are hard, and most startups grossly underestimate how hard it is to sell their idea/product/company. The tech side is usually pretty

The main issue is that water system maintenance in the US is funded by the locality. The locality may be a city, town, county, or some other kind of governmental overlay. Some localities have dedicated funding sources for the water system,

A sample of 75% of retail sales is a substantially larger sample than, say, the estimates by the US Census. If you believe that BookScan isn't reliable, then you also have to believe that the US Census data is totally crap.

The fundamental problem is that HTML is technically stateless but a web app is not. So to do anything that needs state (think google maps, or a responsive website) you need to either build or buy a way to manage that state, while working in

What we need before all this is a better way of specifying program behavior, both at a high and a low level. In mobile there are multiple tools that you can use to prototype UI behavior. They allow you to specify navigation, transitions, cl
