An interesting data point in the electronic medical records discussion. Those (admittedly few) primary care practices which choose not to interact with the insurance companies, and operate on a cash basis, also happen…
> Love jQuery. Hate monopolies. What's the meeaning of the word "monopoly" in a situation where breaking the monopoly means switching to another library? A library which, by the way, won't exist unless someone sees…
Another interesting development is primary care for cash, or "direct primary care". Somewhere between retail health clinics at the low end and concierge medicine at the high end, these are doctors you subscribe with for…
The fallacy is that you don't know, can't know, what our economy would have been after that period, absent WWII. What if we were on the cusp of recovery anyway and we had spent 5 years building railroad and machinery…

Investment return rate, rent/buy cost ratio, inflation and home appreciation (or depreciation) rates all matter. It's a lot to consider. Luckily, the NYTimes put out a great calculator for just this:…
Shouldn't he be using median rather than average values? Zaitratsu could have just had one mega-posting and a bunch of mediocre ones. AFAIK, the conclusions he's drawing, while they may be true, aren't supported by the…
The disastrous thing is that it would be less useful to have a maximized window be 10x the size of its contents. For example, IMO the behavior of safari on maximize is just beautiful, because it's tailored to the…
One day I'd like to start one or more schools based on the Monitorial (not Montessori) approach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitorial_schools). It takes a good amount of capital and respect to start a school and have…
