Un hospital cobra 9.300 euros por evitar la lista de espera a una mujer
http://vuili.com/hospital-cobra-9300-euros-por-evitar-la-lista-de-espera-una-mujer/
El hospital de El Vendrell (Tarragona) tiene una lista de espera para implantar prótesis de cadera que supera de largo los seis meses de plazo máximo que garantiza el Departamento de Salud de la Generalitat de Cataluña. Pero si un paciente paga, puede saltársela. Es el caso de Isabel Navarro, vecina de Santa Oliva (Tarragona) de 66 años. No podía aguantar más el dolor y se sentía incapaz de soportar el año que los profesionales le decían que tenía por delante. Al final, accedió a pagar 9.300 euros para ser intervenida en unos días por la vía privada en el mismo hospital y por los mismos médicos que debían atenderla por la sanidad pública.

Cocos 2d for Android is alive
http://code.google.com/p/cocos2d-android/#News
I've decided to resume my work on cocos2d android engine.

For the purpose of developing a new game on Android, I've tried a few scene graphs & graphics libraries for a while (even tried html5) but nothing seems to be doing what I want. cocos2d remains the best solution for developing 2d games and animations and Android phones are great to run those games too!

If you are interested to help, please don't hesitate to send me a request. You can also send a donation so I can work more hours on this project or even send a mail saying 'hi'. Feel free to send me your suggestions!

Happy gaming!

Despite the fact that Israel boasts the highest number of startups per capita, there’s no Israeli incubator that solves the distance problem.

How Much Capital You Should Raise: VC’s Perspective
http://getventure.typepad.com/markpeterdavis/2008/02/how-much-capi-1.html
In my post, How Much Capital You Should Raise: Entrepreneur’s Perspective, I described the conflicting incentives that entrepreneurs face when deciding how much money to raise from VCs. VCs also face similar conflicting incentives:

Minimize portfolio concentration: Venture is an inherently unpredictable business. Markets can change, competitors can crop up and consumer preferences can evolve. This is especially risky for VCs since they never know everything about the companies that they are investing in (entrepreneurs know more about their companies). As a result, VCs are required to develop a diversified portfolio of investments to mitigate their exposure to any single company. This creates an incentive for VCs to minimize their investment in each company, building a large and diverse portfolio.

Do Not Read From A Script
http://getventure.typepad.com/markpeterdavis/2008/02/do-not-read-fro.html
Not all CEOs are the charismatic leaders depicted in magazines. Charm alone doesn’t make a good CEO. However, a minimum level of confidence and a base level of interpersonal skills are usually required for CEOs to be successful. If you are a founder who does not have these traits, simply bring someone onto the team who does. Find your complement.

One symptom that demonstrates a lack of the core CEO skills is your ability to explain your business in your first meeting with a VC. If you find that you are so nervous that you need to write out all of your answers to every possible question in that meeting so that you can read your answers from a paper in the meeting, it is time to re-evaluate your role in the business.

To many, this suggestion may sound obvious. However...

Using the Social Graph for Polls
http://poll.wireblur.com/poll/1
Its amazing how a simple idea can be generated in a few hours with the right tools and know how.
I wanted to do something with Node.js because, well I love javascript, and love the concepts behind Node.js, plus its the new hotness. After fiddling around with it for days (long polling server :)) I felt it was too low level for the kind of things I wanted to use it for.

Anyway I wanted to make a simple app that would take advantage of the social graph, utilizing it for other things than I like this, I like that. How about content that really matters. So I thought of the poll idea about 11pm at night...not a good time because you start to think, maybe I can do this in an hour.

After refactoring my long polling server code in Node.js I did some searching for something (don't remember what) and came across Express.js. What a nice wrapper MVC wrapper around Node.js. It looks very promising. For templating it suggested EJS as on option. So with little Node.js experience, no Express.js or EJS experience I was able to create this prototype in about 3 hours. Yeah I'm tired but thought it was cool enough to share it with the fellow hackers.

Its just a test. If it works out maybe I'll create a front page profiling the top polls. I think it would be a nice way to take advantage of the sometimes shallow social graph. In addition, it would be really nice how people really feel about topics that effect the world.

The recent poll I saw about the Lybia fiasco didn't even ask if people were against it. It just asked how you felt about Pres Obama's handling of it. Not a great poll since it didn't even ask if people were against it completely.

Show HN: Chrome Extension – Navigate to Founders LinkedIn Page from CrunchBase
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crunchbase-people/igplngpnnlplnfgoddopbfljfdkhljkn
A Chrome Extension that allows you to navigate to people's LinkedIn page from CrunchBase with one-click without premium subscription.

I use Crunchbase a lot. I use it mostly to query the funding and founders information of startup companies. The feature that allows one-click to founders' LinkedIn page is only available for premium subscription, I don't use it enough to justify paying for it. So I have to copy founders name and search it on LinkedIn manually. This becomes a pain over the time. So I decided to create a Chrome extension so that I can navigate to founders LinkedIn page with a single click.

Get started:
1. Install it from Chrome Web Store
2. Open Crunchbase and find the company you want to query and go to the "People" page of the company. Make sure the "Contacts" section is not empty
3. Open Crunchbase People Chrome extension from the top right corner of Chrome. The popup window lists the people and their titles that are available from the Crunchbase's page
4. Click them and it will open a new tab which leads to their LinkedIn page.

I hope you like it. The source code is on github: https://github.com/narisong/crunchbase

Software Estimates - reply on erlang-questions by Joe Armstrong
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2013-September/075427.html
...
Most time isn't spent programming anyway - programmer time is spent:

a) fixing broken stuff that should not be broken
b) trying to figure out what problem the customer actually wants solving
c) writing experimental code to test some idea
d) googling for some obscure fact that is needed to solve a) or b)
e) writing and testing production code

e) is actually pretty easy once a) - d) are fixed. But most measurements of
productivity only measure
lines of code in e) and man hours.
...
I've been in this game for many years now, and I have the impression that
a) is taking a larger and
larger percentage of my time. 30 years ago there was far less software, but
the software there was
usually worked without any problems - the code was a lot smaller and
consequently easier to understand.

Again in the last 30 years programs have got hundreds to thousands of times
larger (in terms of code lines)
but programming languages haven't got that much better and our brains have
not gotten any smarter. So
the gap between what we can build and what we can understand is growing
rapidly.

Poll: Whiteboards slow down startups in early stage. Yes or No?
After loving whiteboards for so much, I started to hate them. Specially in super early startup stage. Like firsts meetings.
I have the feeling that the constraints a small piece of paper gives you and after some ideas translate them instantly into design or code, is faster and better than pointless long discussions on whiteboards. Do you agree?
