Crazy town app permissions are what keep me from using Android. I really wouldn't be able to install half the apps out there that ask for all sorts of permissions that are frankly obnoxious.

The solution is terminally simple: _All_ new development must include 10% to 20% of units to low income people. Everywhere. SF. NYC. LA. etc. The end.

Re. "quality of life problems", how about not being able to afford to live in SF? Does that qualify? If you don't like density or problems that arise due to density, don't live in dense places. There are plenty of less d

You'd have to have your head examined for willingly working in government IT. The dysfunction is legendary, the pay is abismal and there are no free massages or vending machines. If you had the skills to secure computer systems why wou

As a former practitioner who worked to unite disparate silos of clinical data I can certainly get behind a spec that has industry support. The degree of support is yet to be determined but something is better than nothing. As I see it, HL7&

It's alarming how similar my story is to yours. I also moved from a much bigger city to Dallas a year ago. A new job paid me to come here and I gotta say it was a great decision. My email is in my profile. Let's chat.

Heres something I wrote a while back on healthcare data integration[0]. Yes, this is a real problem. Yes, it's worse than you can imagine. No, I don't see it getting much better in the short term. Given enough volume from the peop

I don't think there actually is much in the way of supporting that position. It just seems to be the school of thought espoused by certain folks in politics and the media. It's as if to say poor people are predisposed to becoming

This. It is the massive liquidation of sovereign wealth funds that is causing markets to move lower. When someone is forced to sell, what happens to the price? It tanks. There is no floor. Technicals take over. This coupled with expected ne

I've asked this thought exercise before (here) and I'll ask it again: what happens when the world stops paying for oil? A significant portion of the world in terms of area and population derive virtually all their earning power fr

Ha! This is the first time I've been recognized by someone reading something I wrote! Dallas is actually pretty ok. Shhh... don't let my NY friends know that I said that ;)

California's rules, regulations, tone and general outlook on most things irk me, and even more so SF as the epicenter of such things in California. So, no, I don't think one could pay me to live in San Francisco. It doesn't n

Everything eweitz mentions is spot on. I'll just note what my sister said not two moments ago when reading some of these comments. "San Francisco is a baby town, a joke, compared to what's going on in Manhattan." And I k
