Doctor reviews are not correlated to patient outcomes. There are tons of excellent doctors with terrible bedside manner that have bad reviews and incompetent doctors with excellent bedside manner who get great reviews. Quality metrics should be based on data like patient outcomes (but even that is hard because surgeons currently will reject "hard" patients to juice their numbers). As a non doctor, you honestly are not qualified to assess the abilities of your doctor.

I do think Zocdoc is a great idea because anything that makes scheduling an appointment easies is a win. I'm just saying that patient reviews give people a false sense of security that their doctor is good. In reality, almost no one knows if someone is good or not unless you have directly worked with that doctor and have a lot of stats on their outcomes (which only anyways works on specialities that have a lot of procedures). Assessing doctor quality is a very hard problem.

Patient reviews are good for assessing if your personalities will mesh but beyond that they don't go far.

Not just Singapore , a lot of other airports do this as well ,as other comments have pointed out. This isn't the norm in the UK unfortunately. The reason boils down to staffing on the other end to check the token and to handover the tray. Token and staffing would mean added cost and liability - not something an outsourced security vendor or another government department agency would be willing to foot the bill for.

I have some ideas and a provisional patent on two things:

1) “Meet your baggage” a simple system that can be bolted on to most existing processes that lets you know which airport your luggage is at, where it is in the process, and when your luggage is coming out and on what carousel. So you can be standing by the chute expecting it.

2) A system for seats to recline starting from the back, letting people switch seats and pay $ and go to sleep in a comfortable reclining position, which I find is really crucial for a long flight and people are willing to pay for.

I'm curious how exact you would need. Like within 90%? 80%? 50%?

For those that want to follow up on this, you could use current satellite imagery to make population estimates, but it wouldn't be really accurate. You could wait for companies like Planet Labs[1] to get daily photos of the Earth (IIRC 4m resolution), and increase accuracy. You could also hire pilots to strap a camera and survey the interested areas. There are also, IMO, unethical spins (especially in oppressive regimes) that you could do with that data (ie: civilian surveillance). Or even cheaper, use drones (because you don't need daily or real time surveillance). That could also have other spinoffs. Or you could literally just send people to go count. Don't know which would be the cheapest.

CSV's biggest competitor is XML.

But both XML and SQLite have the same issue: They give you just enough rope to hang yourself with. While SQLite is a fantastic micro-database engine and a file format, it isn't a very good universal B2B format because there are too many features you'd have to support to interoperate.

I'd argue CSV's biggest strength is that it is easy to parse correctly, because the format is so simple and the standard is largely the superset. The biggest problem for CSV is that the most popular desktop application for view CSV (Microsoft Excel) sucks at it, and causes data corruption on save (and has for at least twenty years).

If people wanted a relational database as a file, I can think of nothing better than SQLite, but in B2B you want automated tooling that can parse the format without human involvement. If you need some structure there are some simpler XML-based formats which accommodate that, but still offer far fewer features you'd have to support than SQLite does.

Ajax might become popular in this space, but I'm yet to see it.

If I describe an API and the algorithm used to implement it (a patent) that doesn't necessarily mean the source code I used isn't still useful (a copyright).

They were paying for the Navy's implementation of the technology - a bunch of copyrighted notes, drawings, and details - rather than starting from scratch. They were not paying for the idea of the technology (because the patent had expired).
His argument is that it's inherently hard to do exercise science research because of selection biases and sample sizes. This is a fairly reasonable statement.

The problem is confounded because of conflicts of interest. Either the investigators are being remunerated by a commercial interest or the investigators are hoping to establish a commercial entity.

It's not uncommon for a study to come out with interesting results and conclusion only to be found to be completely unreproducible. It takes a while for this to happen, and even then, people are confused over who is right.

Also, linking to the wiki page for a logical fallacy is a very passive aggressive swipe and low quality.

If by startup you mean the "rocket ship" type, why not try a third alternative, specifically a small software shop?

Because at least in the goon economy you can compete in a hierarchy and be differentiated by status. "I have made X number of lawsuits/wars/security details successful which is more than Billy who only has Y number of successful lawsuits/wars/security details and that's why I should get a bonus and he shouldn't." sounds better than "I have exactly the same amount of income as Billy, but I should have more than he does because I think I'm better than Billy."

Yes, there are other ways to differentiate yourself in a social hierarchy, but finding a new and novel way to live is a lot harder than continuing to live the same way humans have lived for centuries.
The article deliberately contradicts the title, it's literally stating the same thing you're saying but with a real world example (One Note) and why they needed to write their own.

> Our world is sufficiently productive (a trend I expect to continue rising) that we could offer a modest life to everyone regardless of how much they work.

i realize that the rest of your post details technological advancements that could create this condition (on an indefinite timeline), but you also seem to be saying that it is already possible today. i often see this sort of claim these days, and i always wonder why this is treated as self evident fact.

in 2015, the PPP adjusted GDP per capita over the entire planet was just under $16k [1]. this is only 125% of the US poverty line for a single person in the same year [2]. even if we could deliver this sum to every person in the world without losing production capacity and with no administrative cost, it hardly seems enough to provide what you mean by a "modest living" to everyone. much closer to mere subsistence in a developed nation.

That's because SQLite is meant for single user applications. If you try to open the file the second time it will wait to acquire the lock.

When installing these at scale in existing buildings you have to be able to send out local workforce to properly install and activate thousands of sensors, as well as maintain them afterwards, without prior training.

I think that would be counter-productive. One of the main goals is to do research on how the 1.1.1.1-like addresses work in the real world. Offering a nice and free DNS service on those addresses is almost just a side-effect, which obviously triggers real-world reactions and uproar when ISPs fail to route properly. If they had offered backup addresses, maybe ISP customers wouldn't complain as loudly, and the media / attention levels would have been lower.

That doesn't matter. The point is that you're not listing the name of the actual company and you are not an employee of the company. You are a recruiter. Every recruiter would like to say "we work directly with the company as an extension for their hiring processes" - what would be the point of the rule then?

The spirit of HN hiring threads is not to be yet another portal where recruiters can show their wares. It's designed to be community-oriented and transparent. Ideally a hiring manager or an employee directly on the team who a candidate would be working with is the one posting the job. Second to that, an internal recruiter who works directly in the talent or HR team of the hiring company. I'm sure you're plenty well integrated with the hiring process at "Machine learning hedge fund", but you're still an external recruiter who is not formally employed by the company on a permanent basis.

You shouldn't be posting here. We can't even tell the name of the company from your job ad. It's convenient for you but it's not convenient for the rest of the community.

This is very similar to the situation that caused the Swiss to become the mercenaries of Europe. If you were the second son, you weren't going to inherit the farm and thus in a resource-poor country like Switzerland of the Middle Ages, your best choice was to go abroad and find some feudal lord putting together an army. Thus you became a "freelance" and hopefully found riches. I've always thought Machiavelli's dislike of mercenaries was poorly placed, as after all they were simply following the economic incentives.

Do-nothing jobs may be a problem, but do they outnumber jobs that exist to support, sustain and inflict a system that is not user-friendly? For example:

How big is the 'security' industry (include 'national security')?

What percent of the workers at the health clinic you visit are there to control, limit, and ration the access to medical care?

Isn't the entire legal system there to sustain the power of the powerful?

Isn't the educational establishment designed to support a hierarchical society in which the highly-educated are few, highly-paid and comfortable, and the rest are not?
Your costumer just sent you a slightly malformed cab, there’s a couple of column names that need to change and some of the rows need to be excluded. 10min tops. Vs your consumer just sent you a slightly mallformed sqlite dB... which tables need to be merged with which tables? What values are actually indexes into other tables? What assumptions are there on the id’s of this table compared to this table? 4days and 20 emails later you still haven’t fed the data into your model.
csv has problems that are trivial to solve live. SQLite is just way overkill to be handed over from party to party lightly.

This doesn't always work. Many times the luggage is at the carousel quicker than you are.

Prior to my knee injury I was a happy runner, and I definitely found that just going for longer than 15 minutes would completely clear out my nose if I was at the congestion stage of a cold.

Let me know if my attempted synopsis above is helpful or not... I think I can confidently say that the crystal does not travel backwards in time (or forwards in time any faster than the normal rate, as has been pointed out).

However, it is a seemingly miraculous trick of spin systems that we are able to use pulses to effectively reverse the time evolution of the system and produce echoes. When looking at one new pulse sequence which had many pulses, the discoverer of the spin echo (Erwin Hahn) said "With that many pulses I could bring back the Messiah!" [1].

In healthcare billing with patient insurance companies, hospitals and doctors are contractually prohibited (and sometimes illegal) from sharing how much they get paid per procedure unit (RVU) from insurance co's. However, if you are a third party for the hospitals and have access to the billing info of a metropolitan area you could create some kind of price comparison system for all of the hospitals.
Fair warning: Healthcare has a long sales cycle, is heavily regulated and is difficult to break into as an outsider. Generally you'll want someone on the founding team with a significant healthcare background and connections (even better if they're a MD). Once you have found a way to sell you'll find that the competition is fairly minimal compared to other industries.
