As you might notice, I've replaced the earlier bandwidth-stealing links to Slate with real links. Still no word from the people who purport to sell the rights to post Doonesbury content. Memo to Slate: build a simple protocol for blogs to link to comics you carry.

Daily dose of affirmation


Daily dose of affirmation 05/17/2004 06:14 AM

psst! Bush is an idiot, pass it on.

I try to stay off the political bent as tapping that vein would produce a gushing Niagara these days, but McSweeney's Daily Reason to Dispatch Bush is a series of bite-sized factoids and quotes that hasn't seemed to get much attention. Of course, the folks who avidly listen to Ann Coulter aren't going to read it because, well, a lot of them don't read so gud [sic], but for the rest of the reading, thinking public, it's a daily affirmation of why we feel the way we do.

On the role of government. The Houston Chronicle had a s tory (404 now) on then governor Bush's 1999 law giving hospitals the power to remove life support of the terminally ill. The decision hinges on the prognosis and, of course, the patient's ability to pay. The law recently gave power to the Texas Children's Hospital to remove the breathing tube of a 6-month old infant o ver his mother's wishes. What do people who support Bush's intervention in the Schiavo case think about Bush's Futile Care Law?

Bush's plan to dose Americans with
expensive tranquilizers


Bush's plan to dose Americans with
expensive tranquilizers
06/18/2004 12:53 PM
President Bush's family has made a lot of money from drug companies and still has very close ties to the pharmaceutical industry. (Bush Sr was on Eli Lilly's board of directors and Bush Jr appointed Lilly's CEO to a senior position on the Homeland Security Council.)

According to this British Medical Journal article, "Lilly made $1.6m in political contributions in 2000—82% of which went to Bush and the Republican Party. "

So it's not surprising that the President announced a plan to screen the entire US population for mental illness and pump lots and lots of people full of expensive Eli Lilly drugs. Bush's commission has recommended that the federal government adopt a model based on the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) a medication treatment plan that recommends Zyprexa as a first line antipsychotic drug for patients. Bush was governor of Texas when the plan was adopted, and Zyprexa coincidentally happens to be made Eli Lilly. It's the drug company's top seller, grossing $4.28 billion dollars last year. According to the article, "A 2003 New York Times article by Gardiner Harris reported that 70% of olanzapine sales are paid for by government agencies, such as Medicare and Medicaid."

But the Texas project, which promotes the use of newer, more expensive antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs, sparked off controversy when Allen Jones, an employee of the Pennsylvania Office of the Inspector General, revealed that key officials with influence over the medication plan in his state received money and perks from drug companies with a stake in the medication algorithm (15 May, p1153). He was sacked this week for speaking to the BMJ and the New York Times.

Mr Jones told the BMJ that the same "political/pharmaceutical alliance" that generated the Texas project was behind the recommendations of the New Freedom Commission, which, according to his whistleblower report, were "poised to consolidate the TMAP effort into a comprehensive national policy to treat mental illness with expensive, patented medications of questionable benefit and deadly side effects, and to force private insurers to pick up more of the tab."

Today's The Day


Today's The Day 08/19/2004 10:16 AM

FlashQuotes: Google starts trading today at $85. You can monitor it at the link above.

USAToday has an article about how Google almost fumbled the whole thing and generally made themselves look like pre-bubble, late-90s, arrogant, no-business-plan-having schmucks.

Using a "Dutch auction," Google had investors submit bids on how many shares and at what price they would be willing to buy, so it could use that information to price the IPO.

While that may have sounded good in theory, the auction and its roadshow turned out to be a messy process in which Google upset institutional and individual investors alike. The pros complained Google management wouldn't give details on their business plans; average investors balked because the company priced the IPO out of reach of most of them. Then, to top it off, the deal hit a snag with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the 11th hour as Google appeared to run afoul of IPO regulations.

And today's an even better one 01/07/2004 05:35 PM
After burning the midnight oil (and the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's oil, and more weekend oil than I'd like to think about) and batting off the flu (twice, dammit! It's not better the second time around) I'm happy to say... it's done! It, in this case, is the proof-of-concept, first cut porting of the current work-language-from-hell over to something that sucks much less, and has far fewer database limits. Or, more succinctly, it means I have a working 4GL languag compiler that targets Parrot, with runtime libraries that use NCurses for screen control and PostgreSQL as a back-end database....

Today's fun stats


Today's fun stats 03/14/2005 06:11 PM

Some fun facts from the two keynotes I attended at the Wharton Technology Conference today: Lou D'Ambrosio of Avaya and Jeff Weiner of Yahoo!

  • In 1998, the average Web search query was 1.2 words long; in 2004 was twice as long (2.5 words). Weiner (who heads up the search business at Yahoo!) made an insightful connection between this stat and the Long Tail phenomenon. Longer queries means more permutations. More permutations means more unique searches. More unique searches means a longer tail in the distirbution of queries, which enables business models (sponsored search and micro-targeted advertising) that focus on that side of the curve.
  • Yahoo!'s Launch service has three billion recommendations about music from its users. I wonder how many recommendations Amazon.com has on its site? Must be a biiiiiiig number
  • There were 17 million business voice over IP lines deoployed in 2004. In 2005, that is expected to be 24.6 million, which for the first time will exceed new TDM (traditional telephone) lines deployed. In other words, this year is the inflection point for VOIP in business.
