Other (small) changes I'd make:
1. Don't say "sign up" -- say something like "Join free." In any case say something that indicates value to the consumer vs. signing up, which indicates value to the site owner.

2. For the signup button use a color that contrasts more strongly with the rest of the design, e.g., red or green (vs. blue)

3. Don't redirect me to another, context-free page when I click the signup button

4. More importantly, get a native English speaker to proofread your copy. "Create easily your advanced apartments website right now" is very awkward, and both "easily" and "advanced" are essentially meaningless words.

Solve my problem, don't sell me features.
Just to be clear, it was the CDA R2 portion of the HL7 V3 standard that was published in 2005. Other parts of HL7 V3 were published earlier, and some parts are still not done yet. There is no HL7 V2 version of CDA.

Even older versions of HL7 V2, such as V2.3 published in 1997, specified a minimum supported length for individual observations of 64K (OBX-5 field). So we can't blame HL7 for this particular problem. Of course many vendors have defective HL7 interfaces.

I can't speak for other vendors, but at my company we have been able to attract top tier developers (and are hiring more).
We have the very classic problem of working so much for newspapers and our small business customers that our own website isn't nearly our best foot forward. We've known it for months and we're in the process of doing a redesign... so problems like this have gotten bumped.

Most of our small business customers have no idea who we are since we use the newspaper brands. Way less than 1% of all Seeing Interactive traffic will ever pass through this site.

We hear you loud and clear and this and whole bunch of other stuff you probably didn't see will be fixed early in the new year.
Let's just face the fact that we've become a country of wusses. From the social stigma given to those riding a bicycle without a helmet to the demand for cradle to grave protection by the government: we are not our forefathers.

I don't know about other countries, but where I live the default is working six days a week. Some lucky people work half time on Saturdays. I work five days a week. It's the first thing I tell a potential employer. I've tried to get a four day week, but it's just not happening. I can surely tell you that getting a four day week where I live is 99% impossible. And what gives that that 1% is in my industry?

I'd kill for a four day week, but it just isn't happening in my country. I'd rather have a job (and one I enjoy at that), than not having one. I wish I had a four day week, but I can't because then my family doesn't eat while I look for this utopian workplace (which may not exist) that caters to all my wants.
I would think Google's wet dream is a world in which ultra-high speed internet access is available everywhere at low or no cost to the user, and I would expect Google to be thinking hard about how to help make that a reality. Today cellular phone companies are our de facto ISPs when we're away from our homes and offices, so I would expect Google to be thinking about how to deal with them or become them or whatever, but that's just an accident of history and there are other ways to make Google's wet dream a reality. Or so I hope...

There's a scheme described in this paper:
http://gmplib.org/~tege/division-paper.pdf
which will work in practice for 2^b bit divisors (e.g. 2^b = 32 or 64). It's trivial to implement and amazingly doing a precomputation plus division actually beats the chip. Normally these methods only beat the chip when doing the division part after some precomputation, not when you include the time for the precomputation too! This trick is used internally in the GMP library and its fork MPIR (and various other places).

"news organizations don't blatantly lie" - This actually happens a lot more than most people realise. You've read countless "quotes" that were simply made up by a reporter because they couldn't get somebody to talk to them.

Nothing more? Like, exactly the same?
If you take a look at his article, he makes a few basic arguments that at least some of the measures are targeted at keeping explosives off of planes and seem reasonably sensible.

For example, take the shoe check. Richard Reid came pretty close to blowing up a plane, but for a flight delay (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Reid_(shoe_bomber) ). He kind of prominently proved out an approach, and since the goal of the TSA is pretty obviously not having a plane blow up, they instituted a visible countermeasure to that approach.

So: I don't agree that every measure instituted by the TSA is completely ineffectual, at least in theory.

That being said, you do raise a good point about the allocation of resources. I have to admit having much less sense of what is and isn't being done on the cargo side, if only because I only experience air travel as a passenger.

Do you know much more about cargo security? What measures would you institute?

> Carriers still "own" customer contact in most countries. If they decide to be really afraid of Google, they will stop helping Android adoption.

I wonder how they might do this. Possibilities I can think of:

A) Stop releasing Android phones and use WP7 and such (similarly risky, if it's actually something the market wants).

B) Keep using Android but make more deals like the one that put Bing as the unchangeable default search on the Galaxy S.

C) Fork/rebrand Android and make their own derivative.

B seems most likely--same platform so they can benefit from Google's development, but with Google services blocked.
The "versioning" is really just there to support their optimistic concurrency model, if I recall. The idea is that you know you need to retry your operation if the version hash of the file has gone up since you last read the data and thus you know your local file is out of date.

As I recall, the id field is just a string. It's just common to let it do the automatic "#-hash" representation.

It's been a while since I played with CouchDB though, so I could be off.
Posts like yours are gold for folks trying to build a health software-related startup. thanks for sharing.

I wonder why Spotify gets the press for not being able to negotiate the deals required to bring their service to the States when companies like MOG are already offering pretty much the same thing?

I understand MOG doesn't have a free version and that's the utopian dream of Spotify (so says Wired) --- but Spotify bled money out their noses last year. They were hundreds of millions of dollars in the red. I can't speak to MOG's profitability (I don't have info for them), but I guess as someone who lives in the States where people get sued over music, I look at Spotify and then at competing services like MOG and just sort of shrug my shoulders over $5/mo to get unlimited music onto all of my devices.

I would call it a programming position, at least in my case.

Most of my time is dedicated to maintaining a legacy application that is horribly written, but my time is mostly spent either trying to come up with inventive ways to code around the existing design decisions, or trying to come up with a way to improve the design without disrupting service.

It's very challenging to do well, but it is definitely not fun.

CouchDB & MongoDB both share one property that this comparison misses (or mentions only in passing).

Both are schema free datastores. For me, this is the biggest, most useful difference between them and traditional SQL databases, because it makes things easy that are very, very hard (or inefficient) on an SQL database.

It's probably also worth noting that other NoSQL solutions don't share this advantage. For example, Cassandra requires all nodes to be restarted to apply a schema change, which can be quite a big deal.

No, actually the performance is good for almost all divisors. I had the same thought you did, so I got the SVN and ran the benchmark. If we are try trust their timing, on a Core i7 the fast divisions were almost all around 4x the speed of the native. There were surprisingly small differences between the 2^n numbers and the harder ones --- the magic of long pipelines, I guess.

These optimizations aren't used much because they are specific to the divisor used. For a single division, it would be faster just to let the silicon do the work. They only help when you are repeatedly doing division by the same denominator, which is rarely a bottleneck. But when it is (repeated integer divisions but not hardcoded), this looks like a fine solution!
I would love to have Google as my carrier. Google is by no means my favorite corp (I trust them less than Microsoft, personally, though probably more than Facebook and Apple), but they're angels compared to Verizon and AT&T.
In the free configuration, I've clocked it between 4 and 6 seconds. (Sometimes up to 10 seconds, but not recently.) With the 1.4.0 release of the App Engine SDK, the cold start time has become less important, though. First, you can pay $9/month to have three instances running all the time. Second, App Engine can send a "warmup" request to your application.
Where are you getting this 10-20mm number? That wasn't even accurate (it's too low) a year ago.

The value of the deal with Google alone was 30mm. That's just a single facet of their monetisation strategies. They've also introduced Sponsored Tweets and a bunch of other things since then.

Fun fact: Twitter actually violated their SLA with Google and Bing before the first month was even up. They guaranteed a maximum amount of time between a tweet being published and it being available via the commercial API access given to Google/Bing.

FYI, I am not downvoting you. I can't even downvote yet. I don't even like Twitter and think it's mostly a waste of time.

"Objective-C sucks" is just silly. If you know and like C#, of course you'll like developing for WP7 more. Weird that he talks about null references in Objective-C but you can send all kinds of messages to nil and you'll be fine. Not so in C#/Java.
Understanding what to avoid can be as valuable as having an idea of what specifically to do. I feel like I'm learning a lot about the software development and management fields where I am now, mostly because I'm starting to realize why some things are so important as I learn about ways that the system can be terribly inefficient even while following the letter of Best Practices.

At least, I'm telling myself it's valuable experience so I can stick it out for the next six months.
I have a hard time putting into words what I feel is wrong with your statement. I guess exceptionalism and arrogance could be the terms - there's been one terrorist attack in the US in recent history and somehow it seems that's the most important thing in the world? There's nothing to learn from people who've been dealing with it for decades (I won't endorse many Israeli policies but that's beside the point)? I'd say that you can't appreciate how continuous terrorist attacks make one feel but on the other hand the government sure has been trying its hardest to make people feel as if that really were the case.

Probably doesn't make sense but I can't let the statement stand and a downvote isn't the right thing here.
I think it's more about mediocre sites, if the site is just bad enough, that seems to generate a lot of traffic, too. You'll get mentioned in social media sites, and apparently enough people who come to gawk order something. yvettesbridalformal.com is allegedly doing quite well.

There's probably a business idea in there, too. But at what price?
Becoming a wireless carrier would not play to Google's strengths. Google generally succeeds in markets where they can leverage smart engineers to serve hundreds of millions of users. They tend to fail in markets which require human interaction or physical presence.

Google does, however, have strategic interest in keeping the mobile internet market as competitive as possible. So I would expect them to chip away at the carriers indirectly, much as they use Chrome to chip away at the IE hegemony, or as they use Android to chip away at the iOS.
It is as amazing a UX as people describe it to be. Believe the hype. I have never once had more than 100-200ms lag when playing/seeking a track. And we use it a lot.

And it has almost everything I've ever searched for on it. These days it is starting to become more likely for obscure, independently-distributed music to be there than not to be there.

The data structure it puts your local music metadata index into is performant enough to search terabytes of mp3s without getting bogged down. No other music software I've tried can do this.

And it streams in ogg. What more do you want.

I have always seen the relational-databases-VS-nosql-databases as a false dichotomy. I think these systems serve different purposes. I use MySQL+memcache for a site now, but I'd have no hesitation to use CouchDB for another site if that's more suited for it. I'd even use them both if that's beneficial for the webapp.
My experiences with Android and iOS dev has been pretty bad. Android has unbelievably crappy tools. Mac iOS dev tools are beautiful and extremely slick, however I couldn't figure them out. Objective-C is a huge blocking issue for me.

Recently been using Titanium Mobile which I'm starting to really like. It makes iPhone dev really nice. With Android dev though you still have to deal with the crappy tools provided by Google (compiler, emulator, packager).

I don't doubt Visual Studio has a much easier development process for apps. C# is a decent language for that kind of thing. But I don't think I could bring myself back to ever using Windows again for development (even in a VM).
The wording is a bit too strong, but I take it to mean that the 21st century most closely resembles the 12th. Not exactly the same, but most similar among centuries.
I don't enjoy my current job. However, as soon as I mentioned quitting after six months to my family and friends they reacted uniformly negatively. "You can't do that, it wouldn't be respectful to the people who hired you." "You'll make (friend who recommended and vouched for you) look bad." "It will look really bad on your resume to only have a job for six months."

It was enough to break my determination to quit and now I find myself looking for a new job much more casually. I have dreams about changing things from the inside. Let's see how long that lasts...
Twitter is not for sharing photos. That's the whole point of twitter.
"Plus, don’t let a plane take off if someone has checked in luggage but isn’t on board"

I'm pretty sure that is already the case, at least for international flights. I've been on numerous planes that got delayed because a passenger didn't show up and the airline had to unload their luggage.
Complaining that Apple's docs say it's easy is unreasonable. I'm sure microsoft's docs say so too. The problem isn't that Apple says it's easy, the problem is tha it's not easy. It's not even hard. It's stupid.

I speak as an iOS developer and long time Apple devotee. The way Apple manages signing and submission is a cruel joke. It was ok as a "get it out the door NOW" beta in, what, 2008, but it's barely improved. I spend more time figuring out wh signing failed than finding actual bugs.

I don't think arguing obj-c is useless to learn is fair, but he you're a windows guy. IMHO learn new languages is seldom useless, and I'd rather learn obj-c than c# for the exact sam reasons you'd rather learn c#, and I'd argue the intellectual benefit from learning obj-c exceeds that of adding c# to java or vice versa.
The latter. You'll generally see strategies based around a certain facet of internet advertising (buy PPC ad placement, do SEO, follow people on Twitter discussing the item/niche, etc.), but few people will combine them or leverage them in new and interesting ways.
Back in the late 70's I once knew someone who knew someone who knew someone, who shall remain nameless, who was a fairly senior programmer for a large bank. On certain occasions, this person was able to bring home thick printouts of the actual COBOL code that ran in the bank's mainframes. Probably one of my first exposures to source code. The lines would alternate between a green and white paper color. Along both the left and right edges were rows of holes, needed by the printer mechanism. The code itself was highly highly verbose plus was probably >50% comments, both inline and in section delimiting blocks. I later got into BASIC programming myself as my first language, then 6502 Assembly, then C. Though I appreciate Java's strengths, I totally understand why some folks call Java the New COBOL: it's pretty verbose, full of ritual, and it's used everywhere now in large corporations and government. (Not sure if used in banks heavily, but would not be surprised. Though I know COBOL is still running in many banks as well.)
Here's what I think, for what it's worth.

There's an entire democratic process to change what people expect out of their relationship to government. It involves political parties, speeches, elections, debates, making compromises with the opposing party, and finally resolution.

What we find over and over again is that when folks try to just use the courts and the legal system to implement change, it always results in a lot of friction. There are still people mad in the States about Roe v. Wade, and that was many decades ago.

So the way things change makes a difference. Perhaps the lawyers can browbeat the society into changing. I kind of doubt it -- especially for something this big.

Theoretically yes, anything is possible. We could easily live in a world where publishers charge many times for the same material based on all sorts of random factors like format, time of use, etc. But in reality I just don't see a change of the magnitude taking place without all of the political paraphernalia associated with such changes, no matter how many people they stick in jail or sue.

It's a shame, because just like in the net neutrality issue, the companies could have avoided this by using common sense in their licensing and distribution policies, instead of fixating on the letter of the law (which nobody cared about anyway until mp3s came along)

The minute my grandma can't treat an ebook like she did her old paperbacks the publishers have lost the game. It might be another hundred years (so it wouldn't matter to the publishers and probably be considered by them a "win"), but the laws will eventually catch up to where the people are.

I imagine this will play out like pot legalization -- long and difficult, with a generation of politicians having to pass from the scene before the posturing stops and common sense takes hold.
I believe the article states they notified the banks before publishing the original work.
