The kids presenting IAD do a pretty good job breaking down the airport for their age! I'm impressed.

I was being billed at > $300/hr when I first got out of school at 21 as consultant. 24 would make someone a senior consultant!

Hey! I'm one of those people. I'm building an Ophthalmology EMR. But I do have a question for you at your past job. At Curative were the labs/exams handled on site, or was it partnered with a lab to handle them?
UltimateFloofy | 4 years ago | on: Doctors who use Google Translate to talk to patients want a better option
I'm building an EMR right now. Can I ask what sub-surgical field your partner works in?

The biggest problem with this argument is that if you live in a larger city, often times their time still equates to my time.
Anecdotally, I've had several friends take time off of work to let the repairman into their home often to reset or swap out the device. It means that they are forced to be without internet for the duration, and personally I've never had a repairman from a big cable company come within the agreed upon appointment window.
It is honestly faster, and more reliable to go to the nearest electronic store in a larger city and buy new hardware than it is to be cancelled on and wait for repairs that may or may not come.
UltimateFloofy | 6 years ago | on: Why Taxpayers Pay McKinsey $3M a Year for a Recent College Graduate Contractor
This is true for most NOVA contractors. In 2010-2012, Accenture and KPMG was pretty new to Federal IT Auditing and most of their consultants had never done anything IT related in their lives.
It's ridiculous that accounting and tax firms like Arthur Andersen was able to rise out of Enron's scandal and were able to create catch-all IT divisions and win those contracts from the US government when they had no expertise.

point 11 on part 2: a smooth transition of the global population to 2-3B.
Over how long a time-frame does Dr.Rees expect this to happen? Thanos only killed half the population. Mao only starved ~40M/50M.
He has no imagination for what could be with all the will and imagination of a generation faced with dire results and instead draws bleak resolutions that sound like the aftermath of a WW3.

What city are you in? There must be a health tech meeting of some sort near you. I live in Austin and I run one with 400 members, but there are 5 others programming meetups all the time. pharma, billers, techs, and nurses shouldn't be forgotten either!
