I am just hearing about this now. But they have already built a 10 story building with this and are looking to building a 30 story building. Wow.

Who needs a $1000 12" laptop? I can't understand why they don't go for bigger screens.

I don't understand how that make sense. What if you have a patient who comes in at the end of a shift. Wouldn't it make more sense to have more overlap in order to transition patients? I think doctors egos wouldn't handle tha

Cubicles were considered the worst of both worlds. No proper privacy because there is not enough sound blocking and the faux walls isolate people and prevent collaboration.

Stocks all over the world are now valuated on the hope that someone else will pay more than you. Not on any intrinsic cash flow of the businesses. This is the new normal.

Yeah it is not going anywhere and no large institutions will ever "mine" to protect their money or a blockchain. Currency mining is going to be part of a tech-anarchy-utopia dream. Consensus ledgers are where real money is going t

That is showing only official profits. There is so much else being siphoned off within the insurance companies as inefficiencies. I agree there are efficiencies external to the insurance companies though, but I am not sure how incentivized

Yup and it can mirror Bitbucket which is also free. So you can just create it in Bitbucket and get free backups via Google.

This is great, we need more lifestyle approaches to disease. Not just people hoping a magic pill will fix it without them having to change their behavior.

Dude you are trying to get a commission by referring your eye center. We get it. Don't be an idiot and claim these eye surgeries are perfectly safe. They have serious risks, including blindness. I am very happy with my PRK, but my coll

I think this is a good point. There is a lot of time spent in finding things nowadays. A small example: Was helping my wife (doing it myself) with updating her direct deposit information at her employer. I used their search, the first link

These surgeries are absolutely dangerous. Doesn't help with people like this giving their email addresses and looking for referral bonuses.

There are long term care insurance products with good companies. They behave by using your policy value as a deductible. I saw numbers for a 58 yr old male. Pay $75k, get $122k death benefit and another $122k as LTCI pool. If you get disabl

I had PRK done from a popular surgeon who has done sports stars and even NFL quarterbacks (there are many good surgeons around) and it was successful and I am happy with it but I don't think you should evangelize so much about these su

I did PRK which is the original procedure before LASIK because the thought of a flap is too scary for me. From what I understand PRK has better long term recovery but short term it takes more time. People want LASIK for the convenience, alm

Checkout laserfitlens.com. I am not affiliated, but was considering instead of the PRK that I did. Scleral lenses are can be very useful for high corrections like yours.

A little useful but you could just draw the same noise map using distance from airports and large roads. Is that how the noise map was generated anyway?

Consensus. And again, it is not a block chain. There are distributed ledgers. This is a whitepaper: https://ripple.com/files/ripple_consensus_whitepaper.pdf

Market makers make money on the spread and facilitate liquidity. Speculators hold an asset (sometimes short term) for a rising price. Flippers traditionally do benefit from a rising market because of longer hold times.

It is true, poor people in those places really don't need much. You can live, eat grow for almost nothing. People can have happy lives without much money.
