Re: Union Square Skateboarder Was Killed on Rejected Pedestrian Plaza Space

There was also a bike accident that same day, on 16th and Union Square East. The rider was taken away in an ambulance but seemed to be mostly OK. (He could talk with the fireman that asked him about leaving his bike locked around the corner)

Re: The Best Online Backup Service

There is another reason you missed, and it was the main reason I switched from Backblaze to CrashPlan:

Restoring data is a lot easier on CrashPlan. Backblaze's online restore took forever to generate the zip files containing my 400GB of data and caused enough problems that I ended up paying for them to ship me a hard disk with my files.

CrashPlan made it all automatic using their app, and since I had also used a local NAS for backup, restoring most of the files was pretty fast on a LAN.

Re: Francis Hwang: View from the Profitably office

Funny... the view from the Profitably office looks straight into the StreetEasy office (no, not the gray building right across the street, the one behind it)

Re: Do Windows and Mac Users Read Blogs Differently?

What if you exclude "search" from the numbers? I'm sure many of those visits are "accidental" searches from the general universe of internet users, including grandmothers, kids, etc... that population tends to have higher Windows market share, hence skewing the rest of the segments down.

Take a look at StreetEasy:

Your estimate was in the right ballpark: "7 for sale at $2,740,000 - $4,085,000"

Re: Making My Personal Health Record Public

If the 98% of the people @rghanbari talks about make their health info public, the remaining 2% with "problems" become as painfully obvious as a metastatic melanoma on your face.

Something as sensitive and life-altering (besides the obvious alteration to your life by disease itself) as your health info should not be easily shareable. Not because you should be forced to hide it, but because to make it easy to hide for those who neeed to, you need to make it hard to disclose for everyone else.
