on: AMP for email is a terrible idea
Living in the US I literally know 0 people who use or have ever used Whatsapp. That's not a judgement on their app, just a reality that in this country it's not something people use.

on: Apple, in Sign of Health Ambitions, Adds Medical Records Feature for iPhone
They currently accept a printout from Walgreens, so you'd probably be surprised what they would accept. But at the very least this is a great first step that will hopefully lead to a printout or some method of providing records that others will accept as valid.

Syncing would be nice, but just being able to show that a test was already done and was negative means the doctor can move on to whatever is next instead of having to request that record and wait for it. I think there are already benefits like that, plus the potential for much more if syncing and printing of records can be added.

on: Apple, in Sign of Health Ambitions, Adds Medical Records Feature for iPhone
Wow. I haven't worked with HL7 since ~2004 and I was hoping it had changed, but apparently not. With HIPAA everything starting moving to X12 formats which had smaller file sizes and were much easier for developers to work with.
I'd be curious to know why Apple went with HL7. Was it a limitation of the EHRs they're integrating with? A demand of the hospitals?

This is great news if you or someone in your family has ever:
- Moved and had to come up with child vaccination records from another state (or multiple states) from 5+ years ago.
- Seen doctors across multiple health organizations who all want to run the same tests, or fill out a records request form that gets faxed and delays treatment by another month.
- Applied for disability or anything else that requires medical records and had to fax 10 different records request forms, wait a month or more, then pay printing fees for each.

on: Has music streaming killed the instrumental intro?
Contrarian view: Instrumental intros weren't ever that popular, we just didn't have an easy way to skip them 2 or 3 decades ago.

on: Cloud Firewalls
Is there a way to upload a list of ip addresses instead of having to paste, remove focus, re-focus over and over? I use cloud9 IDE and just for 1 region there are 90 possible IPs that they could be using to ssh into my DO box.

on: Sony and LG stop making 3D TV sets
So you used your feet to vote against something despite never giving it a try? You just assume you'll hate 3D? What if you're wrong and missing an amazing experience just because you're afraid to try new things? Worst case scenario is you were right to begin with and you wasted 2 hours and maybe an extra $3.

on: An idea for encrypted, verifiable voting
Internet voting and/or the ability to verify your vote electronically seems like a great idea until you realize how many voters do not have internet access.

Which is bad enough by itself, but if you are using multiple monitors/workspace CMD+` will only switch between windows of that application that are on the same workspace.

on: Apple Said to Plan First Pro Laptop Overhaul in Years
Sadly it seems Apple keeps putting design/looks above actual functionality (i.e. letting Jony Ive make decisions). I can (and do) use that top row just fine right now without looking at it. Changing that to a screen that I have to look at does not save me time or make things simpler.

on: The Superbook: Turn your smartphone into a laptop for $99
It's kickstarter which means it won't actually ship until at least a year after it claims. And there's no way they're going to provide a decent keyboard, touchpad and screen for $99 and still make a profit.
It'll ship late and be probably 2x that cost at which point you should just get a chromebook. Or, ya know, use the laptop you already have.

on: Hulu is eliminating its free, ad-supported streaming service
Hulu was amazing when it launched, but it's gone downhill ever since. The last couple of times I've tried it, they show more commercials than I'd see just watching the show live or on-demand. Plus it was a 1:1 relationship so if a show had 10 commercials, it was the same one repeated 10 times.
Even if it was a free service, I can't justify using it over literally any other streaming option out there, including on-demand where you can't fast forward through commercials.

on: Chelsea Manning confirms health status with attorneys
2 important clarifications: 1) Clinton did not "leak" anything, 2) Her emails did not contain anything that was classified at the time it was sent.
I'm not defending her decisions to use private email servers, but using the phrase "leak classified data" when speaking of her is not accurate.
