I'm on the fence about that... Take a look at Receipt Bank privacy policy https://www.receipt-bank.com/privacy-policy/ -- search "data extraction team" and their mega $50M funding from US investors in 20

You don't care? So if someone in offshore labor camp starts collecting your uber receipts so they gather where you live and your regular movements, then gathers your medical bills (say you did trust that mob) they have nearly enough to

Best use of ones time during YC is to focus on growth, talking to customers and making sure you are building something that is a real pain point than initial development. This also helps in the program when you hold yourself accountable to

Quick Q, who plays the role of the bank holding the backing funds? Or does stripe simply play the role of a transmitter, Btw is this similar to Marqeta‘s JIT solution?

co-pay example: a friend broke his collar bone few months back in Tahoe and had surgery to fix it. Full cost ~$60K. Out of pocket: ~$7K on Gold (80/20) insurance. You can read about the metal categories (ie. Gold) and other things I wr

"but with most patients not being responsible for paying" -- right there lays the answer and the problem. I thought about this a lot while doing my 1st healthcare startup in silicon valley and connected with many startups "di

Agreed. I would have expected 3m. I have a feeling they are also busy with a ton of other issues. The Q is whether this is top priority or not in light of all those other issues and it's chance of occurring.

With universal healthcare come other issues like waiting months for a bed. The real solution (and it's maybe 100 years away) is automating hospitals to a point where humans no longer play a role in healthcare management and it's 1

MRI avg price is $2,611 in the US. Google it. A hospital once charged my insurance US$12,000 for a CT Scan through emergency. A CT scan costs $1K (avg based on resolution) in the US. When I pointed out the stupidity of this to my insurance

No secret. It's all itemized on your insurance bill. What is secret is the deal insurance companies have with hospitals which allows hospitals to charge astronomical fees. That is then ultimately passed on to companies/patients th

Not once did I "shill" for my company here. And yes I am concerned about this and people affected. Should I not be? Calling me dishonest is just poor form mate.

Ever looked at your health insurance bills? Medical records are a gold mine for social engineering. Standard restaurant receipts have everything from payment type, last 4 digits of your credit card, transaction history... great for social e

I doubt you could sign a BAA with offshore workers who don't have to comply to such US standards. Furthermore, this space will get shaken up in 2018 in Europe when EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect. Re 3rd p

Just like their AI/Bot/Robot/Skynet Concierge service that's actually human powered. See tweet => https://twitter.com/kylelloydsf/status/738789931791699968 "A heads up, our team usually

Expensify was founded in 2008. A decade of deception.

Your joking right? I'm sure Equifax used that one too. NDAs in 2017 is like toilet paper. How do you trust one of your employees won't go rogue? If you deal with a healthcare company in the US you need to provide a BAA and comply

Curious, how do you meet HIPAA compliance when dealing with PII? And don't tell me you don't have enough PII to be an issue. Think Social engineering.

Soylent and coffee is not a good start to a day. Neither provide morning hydration. Sacrificing your health because it's fast and easy is something my younger version used to believe too. And yes I have consumed Soylent in the past up

I hope they don't merge the 2. I'd hate my article privacy to be compromised and be auto published into some pins.

Congrats on the acquisition. Been a fan/user from the early days when Marco ran it. Best "read it later" product hands down. Should Pinterest kill Instapaper would you folks be willing to open source it like FB/Parse?

Oh what a crock of nonsense! The best thing you can do is to stop reading cliches (even by the so called famous types) and ask those so called older folks with additional commitments, responsibilities et al, what life is really like. I&#x27

"Senior people" is an age reference. "Senior role" is a reference to the actual position. Maybe semantics. If I have to pay say 2x junior rate for 1 senior role that can move/execute faster than 2+ juniors, then I w

A product is never done. Problems are never 100% solved. A product/market fit as I recall from school was about finding a repeatable business model that can be used as a multiplier to bring in revenue. But even that changes over time a

Some great points in there! "Communication" should be right up the top in bold. Bad communication has ties to many disasters like founder breakups, team disconnect, ownership & performance issues, company direction et al. Howe
