Ya, that sounds about right. The sad truth is that defending our cyber space, or cyber space in general, is a Sisyphean task. No one can do it, least of all the government. There are just too many vectors of attack and too many targets and,

Hmm... I dunno about that. People get cancer. Shit happens. There are many, many cases where the only way you are gonna live is if you get the right drug at the right time.

So how does this get hacked? More regulation? Enticing drug makers to make off patent drugs? Less regulation? Allowing foreign drug manufacturers to import supply? All I know is that this is absolutely unacceptable.

For anyone who is familiar with the traffic patterns in and around Manhattan, a "mere mile" as the crow flies is a far stretch from reality. NYC is really a village... at 3am with no traffic. But when you need to navigate public transportat

I would put RIak in either the Key/Value store category but most likely in the Document Database category and certainly not in the Column Family Store category. Riak is in no way a column store.

The free flow of information vs. censorship is the key social issue of our time. It is almost like having a front row seat to watching history repeat itself re. Printing, radio and television.

I think the most interesting bit here is "At JSConf we introduced social traffic which links all traffic to Twitter identities."[0][1] That is pretty... epic. Hey @BandwidthHog stop hogging all the intertubes. You making puppies cry! [0] ht

I am not a doctor but am very much involved in health care and have worked in a major medical center for more than a decade. From what I've heard, complaints to review boards are taken very seriously.

This is an interesting point you hit on and something that is stressed in scuba diving. Basically whenever you go out on a dive you only want to change one thing at a time. Only one thing can be "new" or "untested" or "new to you". Otherwis

That may be part of the reason Portland is not keeping up with other tech centers. Taking a 40% pay cut just to work in Portland is kinda... dumb. I mean, did these startups accept a 40% cut in their valuation or funding rounds because they
