Should Doctors Get Paid Less If They Don’t Keep Patients Healthy?

My gut reaction is that this is a good idea. On the other hand, when Democrats and Republicans agree, the result can be terrible. The destruction of mental health care in the Reagan era is a classic example. The Right wanted to cut spending. The Left did not want people incarcerated in mental institutions against their will. Both noble objectives; however the powerful Law of Unintended Consequences stepped in and forced many of the mentally ill with no alternative to homelessness :-(

What Does Benjamin Franklin Have to Do With Obamacare?

"All the property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it." --Benjamin Franklin

It had been passed by the House. On Oct. 16, the Senate amended the text of the bill, rewriting it completely with the negotiated deal. The Senate then passed the revised bill and sent it back to the House for a final vote."

Very scary. The freedom that he seeks is the freedom to do anything the "irate minority" chooses to do. Does this not sound just like the state of the Middle East today? The Taliban, for example, are certainly irate, certainly tireless, and certainly a minority. All they want is the freedom to impose their views on everybody. Ron Paul would be proud of them. “ ‘It does not take a majority to prevail,’ ” Mr. Paul said at the conference’s climactic event, quoting Samuel Adams, “ ‘but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men.’ ”

The Problem With Multitasking

Typical Luddite nonsense. In the "olden" days when I was doing a monumental coding shift of 36 hours without sleep (I really did that) there were still attractive distractions. For me they were "old tech" distractions. Family. Crossword puzzles. Books. Magazines. Music. Reading IBM Manuals. Talk Radio (we had no TV in South Africa). When concentration is needed high tech distractions are no more alluring than low tech. "Today’s machines don’t just allow distraction; they promote it." he says. Nope. All we need to do is focus. Fortunately, I don't need to do that very often - but I still can when needed. So can anyone.

Smugmug (my main photo site) has moved onto a completely new platform - so I had to redesign my site. I sorof liked the old site, so it has been a bit of a hassle.

Google acquires Waze (for real this time)—likely for $1B-plus

Waze is the wonderful street map that took me to a plowed field and wanted me to drive straight across. I guess I forgot to tell it I was not driving a tank. First Apple screwed up their maps, and now Google is determined to do the same! Drivers, beware!

Lessons from Segway: Why John Doerr no longer makes $1 billion predictions

The problem with Segway was not the unions. The problem is that moving along sidewalks made for walking at 3 mph or less mixed with Segways moving at 12 mph is a recipe for disaster. Not to mention the parking problem when arriving at the destination. Great technology, wrong market. Use it in wharehouses. It also did not help the the founder killed himself testing his next generation product.
