jjsz··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
This is how I read this: HIPAA data backend as a service. Can also connect to Stripe for PHI and credit card storage. Most companies are not HIPAA. HIPAA API. Other companies are not HIPAA. We handle HIPAA. We know HIPAA. HIPAA (AWS, FireHost, Rackspace) is not enough. HIPAA. HIPAA! Visit truevault dot com: recent blog entries- Do I Need To Be HIPPA Compliant?
jjsz··on 58 percent of Americans favor legalizing marijuana
On the positive side, if your country is rejecting money from tourism: they should allow a huge beerfest to regain their losses. If enough foreigners come you would have enough to repair streets or whatever. If they don't do this: they want less tourism, they don't like intoxicated people (then they don't like extra revenue for the police), they can't use money efficiently, or they're striving to be a sober country. I believe their whole point was to increase criminality because they're not receiving XX,XXX/ year for each person they inprison. Alternatively, they may actually want to speed the process of Bitcoin adoptation.

jjsz··on Intel says get ready for $99 tablets, $299 Haswell notebooks, $349 hybrids
I'd buy something similar: a convertable made from SONY that can run GNU / Linux / *BSD, except with much more RAM and SSD. For: $199- since we get taxed heavily for shipping here. I'll need to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 1121 soon.
jjsz··on Why You Should Try a Tiling Window Manager
I'm a casual user of GNOME. I would like to do what someone mentioned on here: use a TWM with the GNOME menu bar for applets but I want them to have predifined "snaps". [0]

How hard is it to implement this?

I'm also interested.
jjsz··on Why Free Software Is More Important Now Than Ever Before
I'm here to disprove my convictions and find the correct answers if something is not possible. Not to boost my ego. You could have easily said don't waste your time: he doesn't know 100% what he's talking about.
jjsz··on Production Quality MongoDB Setup with Docker
I would like to test out clustering and distributed computing on the cheap with a group of friends. So I would like to replicate an IaaS/PaaS/SaaS stack with vagrant-mesos-docker. I can then update my friends applications, OSs, and use their extra storage for a VPN service?

jjsz··on Why Free Software Is More Important Now Than Ever Before
I knew I went too off topic...What I mean by Singapore is the mandated efficient renewable buildings, Germany: it's social market economy and how they are paying people for energy, China: it's investment in renewable energy, Japan: the same. The alternative of a centralized structure is a decentralized or hybrid one. The equipment for what I suggested in other terms would have to be treated as a public good, taxed by the services it provides or as a government subsidized one. Which as an efficient microserver: communication, entertainment, and the option to subscribe to private services. The ideology here is getting the most people to use a box by paying for them to maintain it. The box just happens to be energy efficient to the point where one can exchange selling their excess electricity or storage for private services / nodes / other microservers. Another form of continuing this route is to be able to use energy, storage, or cpu / gpu as a currency or collateral. Also if one decides to give up control of their servers for hosting, or scientific research one can. It's this idea we're trying to evangelize at r/Nucleus.

I believe freeing software will eventually free the regulation on transactions, energy, and communications. Something like a government subsidized team that controls a vagrant-mesos-docker for connecting CJDNS nodes (the SaaSS). Time Warner cable and all of these other companies who don't run OSS are stopping the digital divide and prohibiting peer communications. WebRTC and websockets are enough!

The topic should be on why BSD software is more important right now than GPL. Since we're talking about freedom.

jjsz··on Why Free Software Is More Important Now Than Ever Before
The alternative is for the whole US to strive for actually being the alternative; the self sufficient decentralized yet United States. If Germany, Singapore, China and Japan provided alternatives, while we continue to hold on to old ways, like: not investing as much into energy efficiency, or thinking outside the box like Germany -> we will lose to white labeled and foreign hosted OSS. To solve this we would need a social market economy [0] or at least a mandate to tax for fractionally financed civic OSS, open hardware (self sufficient micro servers), data, and R&D.

I want to put a Drake quote here from "Too Much", but I think that's too much so I'll just paraphrase it: there's still time to check things off your bucketlist.
jjsz··on How to Make a Complete Map of Every Thought you Think (2003)
I use Wisdomap. One level about Mind42 but I can't collapse parents. I use it to make outlines. Click text mode then manually add the format after exporting. It's a pain. Does Freemind export formats in HTML?

jjsz··on Drug addiction: The complex truth
An example is: 7min for iOS has badges and achievements. You should look at the companies that Badgeville or someone similar has worked on. Amazon has the layer of highlighting and the percentage you've read and that can be gamified and sold to them. Watching TV shows and series has been gamified by apps like GetGlue. Civic participation is already being gamified. It's highly saturated.

The scenario is that a US foreigner mentioned we use jello for jam. We use the word jam.

I hope Claro follows, for people that would like to break off their contract of a i9300 or any top-tier Android phone. They charge $600 even if you cancel on the last month with them.
