About 8 years ago I broke my leg and eventually developed a methicillin-resistant infection where screws had been inserted. Fighting this type of infection in the bone is difficult. I spent 11 months in a hospital bed plus some time in a SNF. A total of 7 surgeries in the first 18 months and another 2 after that, the most recent 3 years ago.

I can second the experience of the author. All in I had contact with over 40 different providers. I was lucky in that I had to leave my job and could concentrate on the administrative work required full time. I eventually learned I needed to keep a detailed written narrative up to date with a tl;dr at the top. Eventually I added appendixes that summarized lab tests and surgery reports. This was the only way I could make sure each provider had the details they needed. I would always send it advance, most of the time the doctor hadn't read it so I brought paper copies and sat there while they did.

The billing and who covered what was hopeless. I had to fight with medical insurance, the medical disability company and Medicare when I maxed both of those out. I went through every bill line by line to identify mistakes, there were many. Then I would make sure each had received a copy of each bill and start figuring out who would cover what, sometimes line-by-line. This all had to be done over phone and fax.

It's broken and I am sure it's killing people. I also don't see a technology fix. Anything that requires more than two or three providers is an edge case, this space is 90% edge cases.

Show HN: Year in Review 2017 – From a UI/UX Designer Focusing on Healthcare
I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart back around 2009 and stopped buying from Amazon around 2012. I don't like support those models and I hate how so much in the tech world is dependent on Amazon. There should be more providers people are willing to use.

It saddened me when Amazon absorbed Whole Foods. I still shop there because I like the breakfast bar, and there's a limit on what we can actually do as consumers. I realize it's all symbolic as you can't actually "vote with your dollars" as the libertarians would have you believe.

But still, I hope this is all Munster vaporware blowing out his ass. I'm sure there'd be serious FTC issues with a merger that large. Then again, the FCC did just ditch network neutrality and both companies are large enough they can probably lobby whoever they want to make such a transaction go through.

CITERIGHT | TORONTO (CANADA) | FULL-TIME | ONSITE

We're currently hiring a SENIOR FULL STACK DEVELOPER/TECHNICAL LEAD to help lawyers work faster, get smarter, and go home early.

CiteRight is a knowledge platform that makes legal organizations smarter by letting users store, find, and reuse the legal research they've already done. Our first product lets lawyers download legal cases from online databases and work with them inside Microsoft Word to generate common legal documents. By helping lawyers do the boring stuff, we generate a lot of useful data that nobody else has. We use the knowledge graph generated by the relationships between users, documents, legal cases, and clients to drive a recommendation engine that automates much of the routine tasks that lawyers and legal information professionals do by hand.

We're hiring an experienced hand to lead our dev team, manage implementations with our enterprise customers, and be a technical leader for CiteRight as we build and sell the leading insight engine for lawyers.

You should have significant experience with our stack (JS, MongoDB, C#, AWS), and you should be comfortable with the responsibility and autonomy involved in taking ownership of a project and seeing it through to a successful conclusion.

You can email me personally at aaron@citeright.net, or view our posting at https://angel.co/citerightinc/jobs/308965-senior-full-stack-...
After years of using Jira I kinda miss Trac.

It's sad to me that they lost momentum. I think they got stuck trying to overcome tech debt and bug fixes and feature requests started to pile up.

From time to time I keep an eye on CommonMark implementations and fantasize about writing an MVP to replicate parts of Trac by composing existing tools. Unfortunately there are like 5 other things I'd rather do with my free time.

Rails is an open source web development framework that excels in productivity by coming with smart defaults for people to use to get up and running quickly.

Rails already integrates with webpack, and you can certainly implement your own integrations to further advance things - and you can turn around and make this a gem for others to use, or contribute it to core if its something more fundamental.

But for the most part, the people behind RoR are pretty happy using RoR for their development, and don't need to use React or Vue for a majority of what they do.

Making a web application back in 2016 is like going into a forest with nothing but a compass. We know that we are heading in the right direction, it’s just that we do not know the terrain in front of us. The more often we pass through the forest, the better for us to find the best way to reach the destination.

There were tools and frameworks published every month to ease the web app development or maybe just to improve application performance. Its hard for new developer to choose the best one. For newcomers, they prefer on the save side by relying on big vendors framework because they have troops to make sure the framework they create is the best.

If you are seasoned web app developer, I would like to ask you this question : “Does infernojs better than facebook react, or vue better than google angular ?”. Save the answer for yourself but I am sure you understand what I mean.
The Whole Foods flagship store in Boulder directly faces a SuperTarget.

I've been through similar experiences with my mother.

The best thing you can do, before your parent gets too old, is to consult with an elderlaw firm to get health care directives, wills and power of attorney written up. Most importantly, be sure to fully talk through the possible scenarios for what happens financially in the event of putting your parent in an SNF (skilled nursing facility).

Private pay for SNF in the USA is about $10000/month. That's a steep rate for middle class and even upper middle class folks. That's what your family will pay until medicaid "kicks in" when the savings of the parent are depleted. If your parent made the mistake of giving away part of their wealth to family within 5 years of entering SNF, that money still counts and they have to pay it to the SNF. The medicaid provider for your state will demand 5 years of bank statements for all accounts as well as query ALL financial transactions. You might have to hire a lawyer just to untangle the mess. Dealing with this stuff is a nightmare in paperwork at the worst possible time you can imagine.

I have found that face-to-face communication with the bureaucrats helps a lot. The HHS staff people who process medicaid long term care enrollments in SNF's have massive, soul-crushing workloads. Of course they're going to just skim the hundreds (not exaggerating) of pages of documents you send them. The article is right. You have to watch out for your family. No one else will do it.

Eldercare consultants cost several thousand dollars. We decided not to engage one because the SNF provided a lot of support and we had previously worked with an elderlaw firm, but it probably would have saved us some stress when dealing with medicaid/HHS as I was on the hook for $100K+ until a property sale from 4 years ago was sorted out. There are families that end up going bankrupt needlessly just because a parent wanted to "leave something" to their children and didn't know about the 5-year-lookback trap (Thank George W Bush for that fuck-up, see Deficit Reduction Act of 2005). We were fully aware of the basics and still narrowly averted a financial disaster.
Security Predictions for 2018
Plenty of startups fail and write massive articles about how everything they did was amazing, they were going to cure cancer and all the world's ailments, but something fell through and now they're dead and how it's mostly everyone else's fault.

I really wish I knew how he is hedging his bets on this.

One of the first rules you learn in managing other peoples money is always hedge the downside. Or put another way, you need asymmetric upside/downside risk inorder to make any investment.

One of the biggest risks to bitcoin is the old saying that in down markets all products have a correlation of 1. Meaning when panic sets in, leveraged firms, which is almost all hedge funds, have to deleverage.

Unfortunately, in a large crash this means that everything gets sold pushing down prices more and causing another round of selling.

If the US cash equities markets does have a large crash this year, bitcoin is in the cross hairs as one asset that could have a selling spree that retail money has no hope of supporting.

EDIT

Ah this is his venture capital fund, so I guess the LP's are used to not being able to hedge and hence the naked speculation is appropriate....

Facebook’s Uneven Enforcement of Hate Speech Rules Allows Vile Posts to Stay Up
> You seem to be completely disagreeing with this statement when you later agree that "The caller is certainly an asshole and is even culpable for homicidal intent" and "when the state murders someone, it's the state's fault"

I'm saying that, even though this person had homicidal intent, they did not commit murder - the police officer did that part.

> Caller) I'm wearing blue jacket & red hat in Terminal 2B at the airport and will detonate a bomb killing everyone at the airport in 10 minutes.

> Can you suggest to me how this ends well? Is it real? Is it fake? You have 10 minutes to make a decision here. Are you going to have your officers walk in without guns to make sure no one accidentally gets killed?

I don't think that Hollywood-inspired hypotheticals have any place in the architecture of an emergency response system.

Incidents like the one you describe are rare enough not to need any specialized protocol at all, so a more general protocol of investigation and verification applies. In an age where cameras are everywhere - including in the pocket of every person in Terminal 2B - a great deal of investigation and verification can happen in 60 seconds.
The article seems a little shallow. Many questions are left unanswered. Just projecting where the future jobs will be OR customizing learning based on preferable modes of learning, probably will NOT eliminate poverty. Universal basic income along with more humane policies could help.
Would you say the same thing if the murderer had merely shot his victim from a car, or set fire to the victim's house in the middle of the night, or poisoned his coffee?
> The strength of JIRA is that if your company suddenly needs a different development flow (whatever it is -- new tooling, new workflow, more teams, awkward regulatory requirements etc.) then you can stay with JIRA because whatever you want to do will be possible with JIRA.

This actually seems to me to be the biggest problem with JIRA... JIRA allows for the creation of arcane processes that very easily become burdensome because JIRA is very loose in its opinions. And, on top of that, the management of that process also often becomes a burden for the same reason...

And you're also stuck carrying around all the features you don't use...

The TechCrunch story seems like a misapplication of machine learning. Even when an individual is alleged to have committed a crime in the US, they enjoy the presumption of innocence.

Texting someone that the police are watching them based solely on their associations seems both intentionally creepy and un-Constitutional. I suppose this is the Chicago PD though. Given their operation of "Black Sites" in contravention of the Constitution they apparently don't care too much for the Rule of Law.

Your second link is quite fascinating though.
Relationships (both romantic and otherwise) can become incredibly complicated when your wealth goes beyond comfortable. I'd say that's more than a minimal impact. Human nature tends to show its ugly side when you have a lot of something others want or feel like they deserve more than you.
