You would have been better off actually reading what she wrote rather than knee-jerk reacting.

She's writing about the fact that expressing an emotion is bidirectional. No longer expressing that emotion will cause it to pass quicker.

You're talking about relieving stress by doing something physical and/or violent (both have been shown to work).

Unless you are punching that bag with a look of utter disgust on your face the two scenarios are unrelated.
I've recently gone back to Tweetdeck having tried it when it was first in beta. It's not perfect, but the groups feature is great and I find I'm able to handle following a lot more people because of it.

I've turned off all alerts from Tweetdeck so it doesn't bother me when I'm focussing on work, and use 'clear' in each group when I've finished reading through it. Sometimes that means reading all the updates, others it's just a way of removing the old stuff I'm not going to bother with.

I only have two groups which basically split in to people I know well and want to read, and people who I don't know as well or are very noisy. The latter gets cleared a lot more without reading all the messages but lets me keep track of more local conversations and the interesting nuggets that come up occasionally.

The guy who makes Tweetdeck recently got some funding so he can work on it full time and hire in some extra talent, so it's likely to improve more rapidly than it has been.

Uncomfortable using computers in the examination room to enter patient data in realtime?

How about simply entering in the notes that you write on paper during the exam into your records database when you are done and alone. You can even scan images that you draw; however, I would take a high resolution digital photograph instead ( that would save even more time ).

And you might as well scan the whole page of notes into the system as well.

Hi ojbyrne, just to make sure: I wasn't suggesting that I wanted to do any marketing on FF (I don't do it on Twitter any more either, that's the main point of my post) - rather I was saying that Twitter doesn't seem well suited for long conversations, while Friendfeed might be.
AFAIK, to win a small claims court, you still have to prove that you deserve the money. I see nowhere in the story he admits to the judge that he violated to ToS. He simply used the lack of customer service at Google/AdSense to win this case. As I mentioned it is amazing that Google sent an unprepared para-legal to defend themselves.

Given the training she has received, and the salary she receives, I would prefer her not to be spending time transcribing her notes from one system to another. It will put further pressure on the number of patients she can see. You could employ someone else to transcribe her notes at a salary more reasonable for the work but it is still, or at least should be, an unnecessary overhead.

Digital photos are a good idea although frequently details are sometimes difficult to pick out so I would say it's vital that any system makes it trivial to annotate the images.

> This is the second integer-related security flaw in DJB's code (and apparently the first exploitable one).

Here is what DJB has to say about the exploitability of Guninski's bug:

"In May 2005, Georgi Guninski claimed that some
potential 64-bit portability problems allowed
a ``remote exploit in qmail-smtpd.'' This claim
is denied. Nobody gives gigabytes of memory to
each qmail-smtpd process, so there is no problem
with qmail's assumption that allocated array
lengths fit comfortably into 32 bits. "

I'm not sure I'm convinced by this line of reasoning :)
How does OSX have a versioned file system? I do hope you're not going to say Time Machine, that's a hack. A very clever hack mind you, but it's not a true versioned system, for that we'll have to wait til ZFS.

Hi,

Thanks for the comment. StatCounter tracks over 10 billion pageviews monthly from across the entire world. The current global stats are based on a sample of 4 billion monthly page views from it (to be expanded shortly!).

There are very few other web stat providers out there who would have anywhere close to that reach we have. The ones that are currently providing global stats would be very us-centric and if you check our US stats they will more closely match them.

I hope that helps.

"Throw in the fact that we’re measuring Zimbra’s self-reported numbers against numbers from comScore and Google, and things start looking pretty dodgy."

This seems to be another trend. Throw out a bunch of numbers that sound good but don't really allow any sort of comparison and then cover yourself with a throw-away sentence at the end of the article.
Very positive article, but also a humbling balance to the hard work we do - perhaps to be immortal.

Fantastic Advice for Angel Investors
Seems like a good way for digg to shut these guys down is to pay for their services for a couple of stories. Then take a look at the first 200 or so users who digg the story - and ban them all.This isn't particularly efficient, because of the rate usocial charges ($314 - 400 votes). But having identified the users, digg could then look for patterns in the ip addresses, or ways the users navigate the site, and use those patterns to identify the rest of the usocial accounts.

It surprises me a startup like usocial gets funding in this economy (if they did). Seems like it's an incredibly fragile business model - not only are they relying on a third party, but it's in that third party's best interest to make things as difficult for you as they can...

I'd be careful of overgeneralizing.

Even in true management fads, there's usually a grain of truth in there somewhere.

Just don't be the guy who never picks up any new skills because 1) people usually misapply them, or 2) you had a bad experience. Everything is a tool in your toolbox. Lots of tools means lots of options.

I've found that even with "heavy" process overhead, like CMM or CMMI, if you talk to the developers they're supposed to be practical and make sense. It's the way people in companies apply these things that are usually at the heart of why they don't work. At the end of the day, it all gets back to people.

My opinion is that the greatest achievement of git is demonstrating that such simple system is perfectly adequate. And git is both conceptually and implementation-wise simpler than anything else out there.

Why the kiddie foodie movement has got to go
So I guess there is a two part answer. I should have said that in the title of this post but the wording I used was confusing and removed by the powers that be - as it should be. I didn't change it to say "inspired by" because it's a moot point.

We also didn't say it on the site because we didn't want people to think we were approved or licensed in some way to be YC in Atlanta. We aren't and we didn't ask for approval. In fact PG made a comment on a previous post that he hadn't heard of us and couldn't keep up with the clones.

That said, we are taking the YC forms (thanks for open sourcing those!) and using those as a base for us. There are likely some minor changes for Georgia law but for this initial round we are innovating close to zero. We want to try it first and see what happens. If we want to innovate after that, we will.

That said, I wouldn't say just "inspired by" I'd say "heavily inspired by".
I think the second word is the issue: commodity implies stagnation. If you have innovation, there is always a moving target, and thus the ability to charge.

Making replicas isn't a good business model. Creating something new and capitalising on it is.
OK, I clicked on the advogato.org link, and I confirm it is the same entry as the OP of this thread gave. It is a rant on Git, it is very shallow, it compares Git with an operating system family and filesystems.

I don't think that this article is really telling the whole story. The implication seems to be that things just need to be reported in XBRL and that all the information people doing analysis need is there (just not in a consumable format).

My side project is an SEC search site (http://edgarest.com) so I've spent a huge amount of time looking through what is available. The disclosure is just not there -- I'm pretty confident that you couldn't have seen the Bear collapse from the filings they made. You can look at a huge proportion of the filings here: http://edgarest.com/company/name/777001/BEAR_STEARNS_COMPANI... for Bear itself and http://edgarest.com/search?q=bear+stearns for associated entities. Too much of the trading they do and the assets they hold are still opaque to SEC reporting. Along with getting people to file using XBRL we'd have to force companies to increase disclosure (and you'd get a huge amount of pushback on that).

I've never used the small claims court to sue large companies. But in genuine disputes my partner and I have used it to sue small businesses where we have been aggrieved. In every single case we've won, even when the disputes were against lawyers for their fees. I know so many people who have been badly treated (e.g. landlords keeping entire deposits claiming because some minor damage happened during their tenancy). Yet none of my friends ever carry through and seek legal justice. I just don't understand their fear of the very simple small claims procedure.

Unisys mainframes do (since 1980)! File versions are termed "cycles": by default new files are allocated a single cycle but that can be changed at allocation time or later.

They also had a source editor that kept versions within a file cycle. Lines marked as deleted could be optionally viewed and/or recovered.
Google was also at fault, because they had to provide a reason for disabling his account. I think it was correct to sue them at least for discouraging such a practice in the future. He was their customer, it is too much to ask for at least a one sentence response from human?

I think the increasing importance of the car as a place where we listen to music may be a contributing factor. I have some old, well-mastered CD's which I love to listen to at home but they're hard to listen to in my car. The quiet sections are too quiet to hear above the engine/road noise and if I turn the volume up, the loud sections are too loud.

I'd much rather have a well-mastered CD and a 'Loud' button (as many car stereos have nowadays) to reduce the dynamic range for in-car listening. However, the record companies know not everyone has a 'Loud' button or knows how to use it so perhaps this is just one more reason they're killing dynamic range in their products.

Hmm. A more cynical explanation is that they all want to have the loudest CDs in the jukebox. In noisy public environments (pubs, parties, etc.) the volume of whatevers playing music is likely to be set according to the loudest tracks that are played. As a result anything quiet become hard to hear over the background noise of folk chatting. So you end up with a sort of prisoners dilemma scenario where it seems like you have no option but to master your CDs loud.

Similarly, adverts on TV are usually much louder than the shows they're interrupting to try and grab your attention and they all compete with each other for that attention. Very annoying.
