Homeopathy takes the body as a whole instead of independently working parts (hearts, lungs, brain etc.). You cannot prescribe correct homeopathy medicine for headache, for example, without taking into account all the…
I love RT. Real solid product with great hackers behind it. And you did not mention that it is open source and takes hardly 1-2 hours if you know your way through CPAN and Apache. The latest 3.8 is not that bad with new…
I am not sure what response you get here because accounting is traditionally a non-hacker domain. In my own research, there is a huge need of a service like yours for the particular segment you are aiming for. I have…
"The answers are longevity, maturity, and a rich ecosystem of development tools and modules that developers can leverage for almost any programming task. Consider the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). CPAN is…
Any trick I use is to mindlessly start doing anything, just anything, related to work. You will gain momentum after a brief period of activity. While procrastinating, don't do anything which feeds it. (like facebook,…
The easiest way to bookmark HN articles is to leave a comment.
I have not read this book but the list of tips seemed to be bit too much. I am really a fan of all simplicity and tips from getting real book. But someone who has read both books can explain it better.
I am working on simplified hosted accounting service for startups based upon open source sql-ledger. There will be a free single user version. Keep yourself updated via blog or mailing list (see my info)
I don't think anyone has a generic formula for success yet (other wise we would be busy working on it and everyone would be a success story). And in my experience other's people success formula is not going to help me…
I was expecting "Answerly" similar to stackexchange but from a cursory look, it just seems a search engine. I think some integration of stackexchange like features might be useful.
I came to know about Linux first and than Linus and always wondered why Linux was not called Linus.
"Diet is 85% of where results come from" I thank Michael Pollan for a simple and motivational advice which works. He is a must read for anyone concerned with diet.
I don't know what other value addition (identifying slow queries, scaling, replication etc.) you will be doing but setting up and maintaining a MySQL db is one of the easiest thing for me, a developer. And developers…
That's why I first see couple of comments before jumping to the article.
Minimal features and instant usability seem to be two (of probably many others) characteristics of these superficially high priced products. Any thing sufficiently complicated or with steep learning curve is not going…
"Of course, I'm highly biased in that regard." This prompted me to look at your info and now reading your website (http://www.healthgazelle.com/) and I am pleased, to say the least. I added my comment above (or below…
This article is scary. To me it seems that we are just creating more powerful strains of various bacteria with our use of anti-biotics. May be it is time we need to look at alternate ways to enhance our immunity so that…
Taxes in sql-ledger are configurable. You can add taxes with %ages etc. A large number of people are using it in Europe. SQL-Ledger has really helpful user community behind it. I would suggest you to join the mailing…
May be I am gone make some changes to sql-ledger to make it this much easier (and release open source). Stay in touch. (See my info)
Really sound advice. When I started my small business many many years ago, I kept records/folders like a big company, maintained books like a big company. This was what I had read in books on how to run a business.…
From first link: Unknown effectiveness - 46% Unlike other sciences, medicine is mostly empirical science. The "new research" results we get every other day are evidence of this. Unless we discover a law which governs…
This is interesting. Could you elaborate a bit?
"I'm hard pressed to name a single business in which consumers have been well served by call centers." And certainly not in health support. A doctor/nurse needs to look for clues by looking at patient present…
"And trained lay health workers, paid perhaps a fifth of a doctor’s salary, handle 80% of the calls, so only 20% get passed on to doctors." This is what need to be done in an organized way even without a call center. A…
I would tend to think they are. Bloggers have to worry about much smaller scale of income/loss than a newspaper as big as new york times. Higher percentage also helps.
