I believe a missed appointment will cost the provider more than the cost of a ride. Also, I believe CMS reimburses for non-emergency medical transportation, which may include Uber Health. https://www.cms.gov/medicare-medicai

I think the intro level courses from Harvard, MIT Open Courseware, etc. are excellent resources for people just getting started. Instead of watching that 3rd episode of TV on Netflix...just watch an MIT lecture. Then watch it again next wee

You may find those technical inefficiencies are what enabled the business to mature and sustain itself...I know several people whose “business” has extremely “efficient” tech but zero revenue. I.e. customers don’t care how efficient the tec

Any suggestions for how to improve the process? I've been conducting a lot of technical phone screens lately and I'm always interested in how to make it better for both parties.

Not sure how you're soliciting feedback but you'd probably have pretty good luck volunteering for them and observing/conversing while getting first hand experience. Plus you'd make some friends (beta users).

I see a lot of people consuming things like juice, whole grain breads, breakfast cereals, sugar-filled nut butters and yogurts, etc. claiming they made "healthy" choices. Of course everything is fine in moderation but a heaping pi

I love seeing internal documents like this that are used at reputable companies. They're both educational and a fun glimpse into how high-performing teams operate.

One thing Skype doesn't do so well: when a new person joins they then have to add every other team member one-by-one. With Slack you simply join the team and have immediate access to everyone. Not a huge deal with small teams but addin

If G+ serves as a valid alternative to Twitter for your needs then you were using Twitter differently than most. Twitter's value is in its network, not the ability to share longform content, and G+ can't touch Twitter as a social
