Outside the vacuum of technology (can it be done?), it seems to me that the role that policy plays when it comes to the actual rollout of self-driving cars (should it be done and how?) is vastly underrated. This seems to be the real bottlen

Like qudat said, the level of rules and regulations required to enter the market are indeed pretty high, but I don't think they are insurmountable. And industry connections certainly do help in getting contracts, but people will genera

The biggest issue is resentment, although I've personally gotten over it for the most part. The key phrase of the article being "secret" - it took me until junior year of college to realize that the reason a lot of my classma

Who I am to judge what innovations are useful or useless to society? In a sense, one could very well argue that the market cap or valuation of a company is at least a decent proxy for "usefulness". With that said, however, my pers

I don't think we have to think of it as a binary opinion. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) realizes that the supply of doctors is an issue - but anyone can already start a medical school (California Northstate, for e

Both the prices and costs of a hospital/clinic are very much politics-driven. And the most infuriating part to all of this is that whether a system does well financially has little to do with patient outcomes or any other metric relate

The lack of transparency is due to perverse incentives in the healthcare system stemming from overly complex legislation. As a country, the US hasn't decided whether healthcare is a fundamental right or privilege. As a result, we const

That's awesome. Improving the copy + paste interactions would definitely make it a lot easier to use. I actually just started using Webflow a few weeks ago, so I didn't even know that CSS grid was a relatively new feature. Overall

The CSS grid was much-needed in Webflow, but I found the implementation to be pretty unintuitive. There's a few examples I've run across. One is copy + pasting text, links, or images into the grid - maybe it's just the way I&

There's a few reasons why: many businesses are in geographic locations where there's not as much software presence, they don't know how to hire correctly, and they don't want to swallow the bitter pill of "software

If what the article says is true, it's great that executives are starting to understand the opportunity cost of technical debt. Too many companies see software development as a menial "cost center" while hypocritically relyin

Sounds like your company is doing something similar to what my company was doing before I left. You're right - we weren't technically wrong, but it did feel disingenuous. I was never really sure if our customers actually derived v

If you must do whiteboard interviews, here's a technique I've used with great effect: Have someone else pick a coding problem (that you as the interviewer don't know beforehand), and work on it from scratch together with the

Depends on what you're looking for. Charlotte is 90% finance-related jobs (I used to work there myself). I live in the Raleigh/Durham area, and it has a decent amount of engineering opportunities, especially in biotech. It's

It's not only money that drives these people, but also ego/prestige. I did my undergrad in finance - during that time, most of my peers looked down on my interest in technology. At one point, one of my friends (who is an investmen

Firstly, why would a hospital relinquish control of payment to the patient? The hospital is the one getting paid, after all, and they want to maximize their profits (aka get paid as much as they can). Secondly, if a provider doesn't ne

I've worked in medical finance as a consultant, and a huge problem that I've seen is that although private insurance was originally intended to encourage competition, it has made prices much more complicated and opaque for the end

Yet another social media platform on Ethereum...how many of these do we need? Read your blog, but I fail to see how you'd be able to attract enough of a following to make this worth the effort for users.

I think the limiting factor for most people is motivation, not intelligence. Reading books and doing tutorials will certainly help you, but you might get burned out quickly. Working on projects seems like a much better use of your time. Eve

Quantopian provides data, a community, and capital. All of these are expensive costs for any individual trader. In addition, a lot of strategies don't really work that well unless you have a 'critical mass' of capital with wh

Agreed with Quandl being a good source for financial data. Their APIs are also quite well-maintained. Within Quandl, I've found Zack's to be a good resource. I work with both Quandl and Zack's pretty frequently, let me know i
