I don't know about the financial model.

Google indicates you can pay up to $3M for a MRI machine and $100K/yr energy and required maint costs. Google indicates a median radiologist gets $300K/yr and to make the figures ridiculous I'll dedicate one radiologist full time to the MRI. Google indicates mean lifetime of a MRI machine is a decade. Google indicates a hospital remodel to make a MRI safe room and electrical and cooling and ventilation might exceed the cost of the machine maybe $4M. Google indicates budgeting 3 hours per patient is not totally unreasonable. There is maint downtime and testing and the radiologist probably wants to sleep occasionally, even if there are actual specific scans that only take 15 minutes.

So the total cost over the decade lifetime of a MRI machine

3e6 + 4e6 + 300e3 * 10 + 100e3 * 10

You don't need a calculator to add that up to a cool eleven million bucks for ten years of MRIs. However you divide that out and thats only three grand per day over that decade. Or if you assume a long term average of 3 hours per scan (a bit on the high side) thats $375 total cost per scan.

Google reports the average billing is somewhat under two grand, but my math shows about four hundred bucks. Even assuming only 50% utilization they can still only account for $800 per scan.

I'm thinking that despite the mantra / astroturf that MRI is really expensive to provide, its actually a huge profit center for a hospital. Not as bad as the proverbial $35 aspirin pill, but pretty profitable none the less.

Another way to run the numbers is if the fixed cost of having the machine and radiologist available is about $3K/day, and they get about $2K/scan in revenue, you may have been part of a long MRI train that day, but the average machine actually only scans 3 people every 2 days on long term average.

Sounds like a market that's either ready for disruption, or so well protected by regulation that it can't be disrupted.
Think about, say, street view. It's a huge project about getting that 'existing' data about the world into a digitized form, usable by a wide range of people and other projects. Data collection is a huge part of the problem space, with lots and lots of room for growth....
Acompli sounds very similar to the native functionality of Windows Phone OS.
RDN | www.recoverydatabase.net | jobs@recoverydatabase.net | Remote, USA

Recovery Database Network(RDN)is the leading web application for the repossession industry. We integrate with many of the largest lending institutions and repossession companies in the country to help facilitate their repossession workflow. Our company is profitable, growing and is looking for engineers to help design & develop our next-generation web and mobile applications in a fast paced, agile environment. Our team is small, creative, and highly driven, and we intend to keep it that way.

We are looking for a US-based employee, but otherwise location doesn’t matter – we believe strongly in the value of a virtual team.

RDN is owned by a larger parent company, OPENLANE, an innovator in the online wholesale auto auction space, which is in turn owned by KAR Auction Services (NYSE: KAR) a publicly held auction services company. What this means to you? The support and benefits of a large, established company, with the culture and energy of a start-up.

You need to be able to work in a self-directed, remote environment. You should be able to understand loose guidelines, translate them into code & design with minimal supervision to produce an excellent user experience for our customers. You should be comfortable talking directly to customers and our business partners, because you want to meet and exceed their expectations. We are a small team of hard-working engineers who enjoy the data sets we work with, enjoy challenges and thrive on cool design. You will be designing large elements of a very sophisticated web-application with a large amount of business logic. The ability to quickly come up to speed on repossession related terminology, workflow and concepts is highly desired.

Required Skills:

* Extremely self-directed. No one is looking over your shoulder - but can you handle the freedom?

* Expert level PHP 5.x development experience. OO only (yes, PHP! :-o)

* Expert level MySQL design. You should understand normalization, joins, query optimization, views, stored procedures and triggers and when and how to use them.

* Laravel, symfony, Zend or other MVC framework experience

* HTML/CSS/jQuery front-end design. We like things that look pretty.

* Extreme attention to detail. We hate bugs.

* Web application security

* Honesty and integrity

* Git

* Good communication skills -- Skype is your friend
> To prevent a competitor from getting them.

Yes, or becoming a competitor, signalled by having users and getting more. "Strategic" aquisitions often seem absurdly high, unless seen as a threat to the future of the acquirer. You can be a threat without being fundamentally new.
Given the track record of Investment Banks and massive felonies and market manipulation/rigging over the past several years, It's very easy to assume this sort of action was taken by current or former employees of a large Investment Bank.
Increasing the number of 3rd parties authorized to access your email accounts increase the potential attack vectors for malicious people to utilize. If you only use GMail's interface, then you need to trust Google to protect your account. If you grant Acompli access to your account, now you've got to trust two companies with that responsibility. It's basic cost/benefit in terms of what you get from providing a 3rd party with that access - and in a day when email is still one of the more critical achilles heels in resetting account access, it's advisable to keep that access as limited as possible.

Woohoo! Docker is going off the rails trying to roll container orchestration into it. Kubernetes is arguably a "larger" project than docker, and docker is out of their depth thinking they can just roll such a feature in.

Good point. I think I've gotten to the point of too habitually keeping conversations short. But really, a bit of a longer conversation is probably more healthy and valuable to me than seeing another reddit post or w/e else I'd do with those few minutes.

No. This is not even remotely comparable. The Uber data would presumably contain identities and histories. The taxi cab data does not. And it is not simply "a matter of matching pick-up locations and timestamps to people of interest"...the only way to do that would be to actively surveil those people for a non-significant amount of time, and that's assuming they are taking the taxi on a regular basis...predicting the times they've taken one-off meetings would be futile.

Another big difference: taxi destination is only in lat/lng. For Uber data, it's possible that much of the data is exact address (or at least corner) of the destination...because it's just easier to enter it in the address you want as a user rather than obfuscate it (obviously, people trying to cover their tracks would try to obfuscate, but why would the use Uber in the first place if they were that self-conscious?)
The reason that the emoticons are so well targeted is not for the users themselves. If someone includes one of the emoticons, it makes machine-identification of sentiment trivial (compared to reading and interpreting the text).

(not sure whether this is something that everyone knows already : Perhaps I only just got the news... (Presuming this is actually true, of course))
I think your comment is very indicative of the divide between startups and more traditional enterprisey web development.
I live near the site (AFP 67) where they were developing the nuclear powered aircraft. The site currently is a fenced-off area in the middle of a National Forest. There are still radiation detectors mounted here and there around the area monitoring for who-knows-what since I don't think there are any materials left there, and haven't been for decades. They filled the entrance to the mostly-underground complex with concrete, there's not much to see above ground (and not sure there ever was much in the first place).

My impression is that applications for Pinyin text input have advanced to a level where they can be used really quickly, often faster than English. They also allow for fuzzy input and dialect-related mistakes.

It's more troubling for older people who haven't studied or have forgotten about Pinyin and need to resort to shape-based methods.

Hong Kongers obviously don't use Pinyin, and I think most are quite a bit slower than Mainlanders in typing characters. Some write in components, others draw the full characters, which is slowed down by the fact that HK uses traditional characters.

(As for Taiwan, I think shape-based input methods are also most common, and I would be surprised if Taiwanese were faster than Mainlanders in typing characters. But I'm not that familiar with input methods in Taiwan.)

Some of the carriers who have gone IPv6-only like T-Mobile USA use technologies like 464XLAT to access IPv4 sites. Here's some info:

http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/resources/case-stud...

And RFC 6877 specifies 464XLAT:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6877

and here is even more detailed info from T-Mobile:

https://sites.google.com/site/tmoipv6/464xlat

Regarding DS-Lite, this video from RIPE NCC provides a nice overview:

Both DS-Lite and 464XLAT are ways that an ISP can be IPv6-only yet still access legacy IPv4 content and services.

Yea, the layering thing is definitely hackable.

I highly suggest using emacs for a specific type of task to try it out, don't go wholesale. Try using it just for taking meeting notes, or maybe only for writing a specific language (skewer-mode / swankjs is a great place to start).

Also, I seriously suggest not starting with evil, but others may disagree. Learning to extend your editor as opposed to configure your editor is a big thing.
It's still a gloss over, but one of the characters does mention it early on, which I took as indication that it was going to end up being important.

I remember having a similar thought process to all of the above, but they even explicitly call it out as "gentle" with maybe a single really simple sentence on why it was. I don't remember if they made the direct connection to it being supermassive (like they did with its rotation), but it was in the same bit of dialog.

I know you're just trying to build the best team you can, but in the interest of full disclosure every time I see someone say something like, "in the office where they can interact with others with less friction," all I see is "our team is bad at working remotely."

If you see remote as something that causes friction, I'd recommend looking at teams that swear by it reducing friction (like the friction of noisy offices and unnecessary commutes) and checking out the techniques they use to make it work so well.
Hollywood is mostly a system of aggregating tropes into stories. The minority sidekick, token minorities, the plucky Southern Women (Steel Magnolias? Really?), the imminint danger down to the second, etc. There is a book on movie plot writing called, "Save The Cat" that is the most insightful book I've read on that subject.

The plot of "Avatar" was depressingly cliche; a standard retelling of the standard action movie plot, done once again. The special effects made it worth seeing, twice for me. Rarely does a movie rise above such things.

The thing is, you don't really have to explain that, exactly because we don't know what the "rules" of time-travel are, IF it were even possible. We talk about "grandfather paradoxes" and "ontological paradox" in sci-fi, and speculate about what would happen in "real life" if some of these things happened, but the paradox might be completely irrelevant for all we know.

Anyway, for my money, this issue falls well into the "willful suspension of disbelief" category - and didn't affect my appreciation of the movie at all.

I mean, yeah, it was billed as a "scientifically accurate' movie, but it's still science fiction at the end of the day, with the emphasis on "fiction".

I have strong upper chest pains (constant pressure), regardless of position. Went to first doctor, was told "it's just bruised ribs", even though I don't play any sports or do any serious workouts.

Went to a second doctor recently after a few months as it started getting worse. "It's just heartburn", even though I told him I already take a PPI, H2 blocker and calcium. I've had heartburn for 12 years and know this was a very different feeling, but he basically ignored me and proceeded to ask me about how often I went to church and about my sex life. I wish I was joking. So he wrote me a prescription for ranitidine (a weaker H2 blocker, sold as Zantac OTC.)

But thankfully the second time I was given a blood test and found that my vitamin D level was <9ng/ml, even though I was already taking vitamin supplements. So he wrote me a prescription for 150,000 IU of D2 weekly. That seemed to make it worse.

So I looked into this and found that D2 has poor bioavailability and depletes magnesium. So I obtained D3 and magnesium supplements, am taking a saner supplement level (10,000 IU daily), and have been feeling quite a bit better. Not perfect, but supposedly it can take three months to fully recover.

I was very surprised to learn that a lot of people develop random musculoskeletal pains in response to very low vitamin D levels. Neither doctor even considered that possibility.

I was very worried that this might have been something more serious, and it was basically impossible to convince either of two doctors to actually do some real tests just to be safe. When I read stories like this, I can't help but wonder, what if it was the start of cancer (which killed my father)? And by the time the symptoms got bad enough to not write me off right away, it'd be too late to treat it?

I've had similarly terrible experiences with fatigue during the day due to my job's oncall responsibilities. That doctor told me it was depression (I am absolutely not depressed), and tried to get me to start taking Zoloft, which I refused.

These GP doctors just don't listen to their patients nor take their concerns seriously. I'm sure everyone always assumes the worst when something bad starts to happen, and likely it does turn out to be nothing. But one in three people do develop cancer in their lifetimes. How the hell are we supposed to get it diagnosed early when doctors just casually dismiss us out of hand?

It sounds like he's just discussing certain aspects of the film, while ignoring much more glaring issues. It's not ice clouds that are the issue, it's the entire story.

[Spoiler alert] Here's the whole plot of the movie, does any aspect of it make sense?

Earth is dusty so the simplest solution is to transport all of humanity through a wormhole to another planet. The main characters go through a wormhole and walk around on a planet where 1 hour = 7 years of Earth. Later, to help the mission succeed, the main character detaches from their main spaceship into a blackhole and he ends up in a multi-dimensional space where he sends Morse code messages to his daughter in the past by moving her books and watch. How does he do that? Because love. And gravity. She understands the message which contains gravity data from the blackhole that lets them get everyone off earth. The main character then pops out of the blackhole thing near Saturn and is re-united with his daughter just before she dies.
