   Exactly! >But only 9% of California's 74,000 farms have actually received subsidy payments and nearly two-thirds of the money since 1996--$1.8 billion--has gone to fewer than 3,500 farms. Most of the crops that fuel the state's

   Thanks for clarifying/constructive correction! I feel silly, because now I'm thinking about microwave internet and how fast it can be, especially paired with fiber on either end.

   1) Satellites don't use fiber as a medium so have that against them 2) from point A to a satellite back to point B is generally going to be a pretty significant distance, as such, when combined when a comparatively slower medium you&#x

   I urge you to read the announcement. Watsi is going into a different space than before - integrated healthcare (including preventive action) as opposed to their traditional funding a single patient model.

   I'm curious how a) they determined he had a pace maker b) where they got the idea to check it for data. Pretty wild.

   YC will teach them how to spend all that money they just raised! Jokes aside I think YC should be able to help them utilize technology to connect people and advance their message.

   Wow this is really fantastic. It really could make a great primer for how a technical/research presentation should flow. I love at the end how he has a prepared slide to answer the question. Good stuff

    Maybe they should setup an overage amount - e.g. 1 hour / month that you're allowed to park for free. After that every hour that you charge results in warning letters etc. eventually you aren't allowed to charge at any of the

    You're right - I was thinking about HMOs where care is very systemically administered. I think we'll see players like Kaiser introduce these tools before smaller private offices. They have more data than most other networks, and m

    Doctors aren't the ones making these decisions - hospital administrators generally are choosing what to invest in. Most MDs I know are excited about research and not necessarily afraid entertaining some amount of change.

    I'd say it's not a particularly easy issue to tackle, but I can imagine a farmer renting a specialized fleet of robots to pick x crop and then another set of robots for y crop. It will be hard to create a general purpose robot for

    I'd recommend using FUSE for experimentation. You won't have to like hack on the kernel and rebuild it all the time and stuff. https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse

    I'll take a stab at this. To me, it means instead of leaning on trust to build respect/relationships, you use some more artificial or formal ladder. Maybe you act disingenuously, letting people fail when its avoidable, turning peo

    The cache-perma seems pretty clever to me. > For example, when new comments are added or votes are changed, we don’t simply invalidate the cache and move on—this happens too frequently and would make the caching near useless. Instead, we

    You might be able to disguise it as debugging/development code that was mistakenly left in there. And instead of a hardcoded list of targets it could pull down the values in a more creative way. But at the end of the day that probably
