I agree mostly with you but I will add that I think that sacrificing privacy for the benefit of the majority is shortsighted in this case. People must be reassured they can talk freely to their doctors (as they do with their lawyers). I think this is way more important for public health than any study that may or may not improve public health.

Vitally | Senior Javascript Engineer (First Hire) | New York | Onsite

Vitally.io is looking for a first engineering hire to join us as we go though Techstars this summer.

What we're looking for: An ideal teammate for us is a front-end focused senior developer who is quick learning and adaptable. We'd like you to initially own a good amount of our front-end and dive in where ever else is needed (back-end, devops, etc).
Our tech stack is evolving quickly, but we're building the front-end in React/Redux + Typescript, the backend in Node + Typescript w/ Postgres + Redis, and will be hosting on AWS. Experience with any of those technologies is a plus, but we're open to speaking with strong engineers who we know will pick things up quickly. Any experience building data-intensive applications is also a plus.

As we grow, you'll be able to take a significant leadership role within our engineering team. You'll also have the opportunity to be a member of the team as we go through the Techstars NYC summer session, working alongside some of the most promising startups and talented entrepreneurs in New York.

A little bit about us: Vitally is an early stage startup building an analytics platform to help Customer Success teams quantify and target their engagement. We're still in stealth mode, but we're backed by Techstars and are moving quickly.
Jamie (CEO) is a repeat entrepreneur with proven success as the former CTO/co-founder of Pathgather (another Techstars startup). Patrick (CTO) is an MIT engineer with experience managing high-value customer relationships with some of the largest banks and hedge funds in the world. We value transparency, diversity, giving back, and questioning convention and we're building a company that does the same. If that sounds interesting, we'd love to speak with you.

You can reach me at patrick@vitally.io
Looking at the price range just reinforces that they're not in the same class:

While I think they're incredibly clever, I'm distrustful of cryptocurrencies and ethereum. So I'm putting ICOs into that basket as well. Still, they always garner a lot of attention, probably for their cleverness.

On the other hand, I'm very interested in Hyperledger (IBM Blockchain) [1] which gets scant attention here. Indeed this thread already has more comments than all of the Hyperledger threads combined.

Hyperledger is strongly influenced by ethereum and bitcoin. But instead of being slow (10 minute transactions), expensive (you're bidding for miners time), and anonymous (anonymous), Hyperledger is fast, cheap and identified.

And apparently boring.

It looks quite impressive, but a bit on the slow side.
Worse is better seems to apply here . To be honest it seems like modern frameworks Comp like down to HTML. In a decade maybe WHATWG will standardize components that are compatible with all the frameworks (React , Angular , Vue ). Also the velocity of these JavaScript frameworks encourages worse is better to the extreme.
Detection is different than recognition. The signs of microscopic life were known and even exploited for thousands of years before anyone realized that what was leavening our bread and making us sick was life.

> But “grep -v” is OK…

> It’s possible to emulate grep -v with awk, but it’s not a good idea:

Ever heard of logical operator of negation?

I mostly agree, but there are privacy and data retention issues. Running your own servers may make sense in some cases for those reasons.

I agree balancing rights is important. I would argue that the link between more data and curing a disease is too weak to swing the scales. Another major issue is that you'd be violating rights on a major scale. It would be very easy to make a similar argument that, for example, recording everyones communications would stop or significantly reduce crime.

I also don't think it's a debate we really need. More and more people are wearing health tracking devices. There have been research studies done through mobile apps. People are tracking health data themselves more and more and a lot of those people are going to be willing to share it. Let it happen naturally instead of opening the floodgates and leaving people without a choice.

Well if we accept that wikipedia has statistics correct, in the USA in 2006 about 18,000 people were killed as a result of drunk driving accidents. This compares to the approximate 3000 killed in the 2001 terrorists attacks, so we in the USA accept the number of victims of about one 9/11 attack every two months as a necessary risk of driving, if the cause is a drunk driver.

In the same article, the USA is noted as having a higher DUI rate than either the UK or Australia in spite of both those countries having a lower legal drinking age and higher consumption of alcohol.

KSF Media | Fullstack Software Engineer | Helsinki, Finland | ONSITE

KSF Media is not a startup, but a 150 years old end-up. Our five newspapers are national, regional and local. Four of them are published in Swedish, the minority language of Finland.

Insurance companies are not different than government, they also try to limit your usage of health services. Every time you get service it is an expense for them.

But honestly I think single payer is just part of the solution. You also need public hospitals, because hospitals have no incentive to suggest a good but cheap solution to a medical problem.

I read a book, where an American went all around the world with the same ailment, got examined and suggestions for procedure to treat it. A VERY telling outcome was that in the US only the most expensive and complicated procedure was suggested to the patient. In other countries he was informed about cheaper and far less invasive procedures. Which btw worked and made him happy, so he avoided a complicated and potentially risky surgical procedure.

This is a problem with the US system. There are something like 2-3x as many surgical procedures that needed often simply worsening the well being of the patient. This is the flawed American thinking that good health care is the same as getting lots of complicated medical procedures.

The drug consumption is also astonishing. When using American health care I was shocked by how aggressively they pushed medication on me. People are trying to push medication on people everywhere in the US. Doctors, commercials, drug stores etc. You are not a patient. You are just a customer.

The US system really just leads to the health care sector focusing on pushing as many expensive drugs and procedures on the people who can pay for them an ignoring the rest, regardless of whether that brings better health or not.
Maybe we are in a simulation. And to save processing power, only the stuff near the solar system is actually simulated. The light from other stars is just approximated. Like in a render program, where ambient light often is not raytraced but just approximated.

Then there might be no other stars and habitable planets out there. What we see is just the ambient light approximation of the simulation.
I've heard this referred to as "comparing your insides to someone else's outsides". As a journeyman software engineer, I still catch myself doing it and have to remind myself that it's unproductive.
I have an i3. The top speed is fine; I can do 90mph here in the US, but you probably don't want to. Driving an EV you start to realize how much energy it takes to maintain high speeds, due to wind resistance. I can drive a full 100 miles on a charge at 75mph, but if I tried to drive the same distance at 90mph, I'd probably only get 60 miles. Wind resistance makes a huge difference to EVs.
