I bought a 2012 Golf TDI a few months ago. I really like the diesel engine (that pull you feel when accelerating up a hill is exhilarating). It was the only car I drove (in my price range) that actually made me enjoy the experience. A few d

Absolutely. It's unbelievable that the WPC gets a monopoly on the healthcare data interchange standard.

On further thought, you could use a bloom filter to test if a given set of letters has any valid words, then look up that set in a normal hash table (or use an associate bloom filter). I haven't done any calculations or experiments, but it

I'm not seeing how a bloom filter would help you here. The only application of a bloom filter that I can see is checking whether or not the word candidate you generated is in a dictionary. All n-choose-k sets is enormous and you'd spend a v

I work at Counsyl, a pre-pregnancy genetic testing company, and I can confirm that there is a ton of work for people not versed in bio. Everything from assay & sequencing visualization tools to more traditional IT challenges like "How d

This is nonsense. Notice how the top of the hurricane is cut off. You can make almost anything vaguely spiral shaped look like the Fibonacci spiral by overlaying that graphic and cropping & rotating until the curves are close enough. Th

The generic cheapness that may portend the death of hardware is the same force that is causing a renaissance of hardware hacking. Most major cities have hackerspaces or techshops ( http://www.techshop.ws/ ) where you can 3D print and use CN

I've been using Eligible API for just over a week and I must say that I'm loving it so far. Kate & Patrice have been extremely responsive and improving incredibly fast.

It's one of the cheapest eligibility APIs I've seen. And the clear value add is JSON. There are some providers that do eligibility checking for free for big payers (I think Availity does) but then you have to process the mess that is X12. T

Eligibility is a different beast from filing insurance claims. Eligibility checking is performed prior to filing a claim. It tells the provider if the patient's insurance covers the requested procedure at the requested facility. Filing clai

If you're looking for a truly disruptive startup, you should tackle insurance billing. This is a $1 Trillion+ industry powered by people making phone calls and sending paper mail. Just look at this list of insurance payers: https://drchron
