Todd Park, the former chief technology officer of the United States, and Mikey Dickerson, who led a team of 60 engineers at Google and supervised the crew that fixed the Healthcare.gov website last year. Since that time, Park and Dickerson have been steadily recruiting an elite digital corps—a startup team, essentially, built mainly from the ranks of top private-sector companies—and embedding them within the U.S. government. Their purpose is to remake the digital systems by which government operates, to implement the kind of efficiency and agility and effectiveness that define Silicon Valley’s biggest successes, across everything from the IRS to Immigration Services.

If I owned a company the size of the Federal government, I would probably be doing the same thing. I am not going to lose sleep over this.
Yes it should concern all the givers not the takers
speaking of givers and takers a friend of the family physician told me that well over a third, closer to a half of the items / data collected by the ACA nobama care has almost nothing to do with health but was only added to the requirements document to be sure only one company could fulfill the requirements. That product was EPIC software...the democratic owners made a $150 million dollar contribution to obamas campaign and to date they have probably made over $150 billion in “fulfilling” that contract
You betch’a - the more the gov knows about you the worse - now digitize all that paper, put everything in a data base, correlate, analyze and .. . Voila ... there you are in all your naked glory - everything is related nothing you have do, say is omitted.
You - for all intents and purposes - have ceased to be a living breathing being and are now a collection of digitized ones and zeros - an open record for all to read and do what they will.
The answer is a group of people who use annoying analytic scripts in webpages while feeding processing and database chores to the cloud (Amazon and Google).
0bama and his friends at Google and Amazon will know when you last sneezed and how you voted and then apply conditioning techniques to change your mind and attitude by changing what you experience across the entire Internet.
What a fool's errand that is. Nobody in government is interested in efficiency, low-cost of operations, good customer service, good support, agility, speed or innovation. Those are anathema to the people who work in government. They want cushy rote jobs that require no thinking or talent..and pay you for 40 hours even though the "work" may take only 15 hours. Government unions will assure nothing changes.
These people taking these jobs should get frustrated within a few months after realizing it's impossible to push on the end of a wet rope.
They will put the private profit motive into Gummint exactly HOW..?
Fast Company Mag is a Marxist hipster rag. It’s run by a bunch of bearded 125lb metro pajama boys.
Anything that comes with an obamian stamp of approval can be expected to be used against the citizens of the United States of America.
Well, all those questions let the federales do a rapid warrentless and extensive automatic (cheap) search for “guns in home” ....
Anyone who uses EPIC knows that it is certainly not epic.
A dog with rich connected masters.
But that’s exactly who some of these guys are, according to this article. They came in to fix healthcaredotgov...it’s kind of alarming that he’s picked all this top talent to work on making the tech infrastructure of government work. Efficiently.
I have come to be suspicious and leary of anything this man does.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
I don’t know who that redhead is watching the approaching storm, but...
Nevermind < BG >
But it’s not a company. I favor decentralizing government data as much as possible and not linking non-related functions.
U.S. Digital Services and 18F are where Startup talent from SF runs to when their SF/SV venture dies.
Both of those new services have been pushing Open Source code into every government agency...which quickly gets hacked as soon as the code goes in.
None of their sharable modules of code are secure. They are slicing up what little government security existed.
18F is particularly vocal on Twitter. All Open Source, all of the time.
Hackers’ wet dream.
