Ah, I see your point. I think the article was trying to distill the changes down to one key fact: the security rule now applies to anyone who interacts with health care organizations, even if you're a few degrees removed as a contractor.

I have a similar feeling towards financial institutions. When you apply for a mortgage, you have to send your entire financial history, by mail (or perhaps worse, by email ), to an underwriter. There's no indication as to what happens to

If you're even peripherally related to IT security, this is a pretty big deal. HIPAA and HITECH have an enormous impact on how businesses work. With the expansion of the security rule, some SaaS startups are going to have to at least pay

Since hedge funds are subject to bigger swings, I suppose Buffet could be ahead for the next 5 years and then lose out due to a big upswing, no?

I honestly felt that statement to be out of place, too. It caught me off guard. While it's admirable that he's not going to let the lawsuit prevent him from continuing his life, I think he could have saved that line for a separate blog post

I agree. This feels like a (really well-designed) solution searching for a problem.

So setup 1 small git server that mirrors your most critical repositories which devs can failover to in the event GitHub is down _exactly_ when you need to integrate changes. I wouldn't call this "building around" GitHub. Git's nature promot

Another option: do what someone else is already doing. For instance, bug tracking and project management apps have proven demand. Sometimes you can steal enough market share by doing things better or by making subtle variations.

Still not quite right. Github enterprise requires that you pay Github to license the software and provide support. Gitlab is free and open source -- you can clone Gitlab and start doing git project hosting without paying or contacting anyo

My guess: discoverability. Also, Gitlab is for self-hosted Git repos--probably aimed mostly at private projects, not open source. Gitlab itself is open source, so it seems logical to put it on the site that contains the largest gallery of

I love the idea. I'd have to turn off auto-complete, too since hitting CTRL-L then typing "n" <return> would take me right to Hacker News. Muscle memory. I totally check sites out of obligation/procrastination.

It's so critical to foster a culture where "I don't understand" and (to risk going off on a tangent) "I don't think that's right" is acceptable, even if its an intern to a CEO. Reminds me of The Checklist Manifesto which cites how OR nurses

I feel like this has been said a billion times. (Isn't this what Steve Blank's customer development methodology is all about?) I do realize, though, that now matter how many times we say it, people fall into the trap of thinking their idea

> I should emphasize that it is not physically being alone (i.e., not enough contact with other people) that bothers me, it is the lack of peer-level teamwork towards a common goal that I lack. I wonder if Roger Federer feels that way?

I like rememberthemilk too. Trello seems to work well for visual people (that's me). As Merlin Mann says, the second your tools start being fun, you've gone too far. The key thing is the process: making a contract with yourself to do the

Yeah, the iPhone app is sweet. I mainly use it for capturing tasks when I'm not at home. It's nice to finally have one place to put things.

I misread the article, the company the OP mentions is doing something far more sinister than what Marketo does. I can understand not wanting to be tracked at all, though.

HubSpot (and pretty much any other marketing automation tool) has this feature, too. They lookup company name and location by IP address and build an anonymous "prospect" record representing each visitor so that salespeople and marketers c

While enterprises have the ability to act as city-states, controlling their own destinies, consumers won't. Facebook vs. Diaspora is the canonical.
