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 PMPresident 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
08/19/2004 10:16 AMFlashQuotes: 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.

01/07/2004 05:35 PMAfter 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 PMSome 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.
