I've been Type 1 for 20+ years and have measurable remissions based on blood tests. Low level functioning of pancreas again. The thing that moved the needle for me was fasting + ultra running (which from my understanding implements a f

A business by definition is not a valuable and transferrable business if every single person (including the C-suite) cannot be replaced without the business collapsing. No one is immune to this or an exception. Top to bottom.

I agree, sounds like their systems are optimizing based on the roll-over limit. Basically I'm just going back to cash pay and negotiation for everything either before the visit, or at the facility. Then using alternatives to health ins

Yep, and ever since a certain insurance provider has switched to an AI system, I've had nearly all my Type 1 Diabetic prescriptions rejected (that I've had no problem getting for over a decade). Then it takes hours on the phone fo

There are some ways around the heavy user issues that aren't ideal but will work for BI-oriented heavy users.

Agreed. Most modern forms of Western warfare are non-violent with occasional violent repercussions. It's not lining up troops and sending them places in uniforms, although that does happen. It's economic, cyber, covert, cultural a

Absolutely - when me and my team spend $50k to experiment (which is chump change for a funded company) and it fails, that hurts. It's coming out of my pockets. And because of that, I remember it and my team remembers it. But it's

Wondering how this is going to change the remote working experience. If the price point starts coming down, I can see this as really useful for digital "in-person" meetings that keep people more engaged than a Zoom call. Intrigued

I run a small consultancy and from employee one we've always purchased devices for our employees to work from. No excuse for a company not to do this.

Kinda silly to assume that the data is an exact reflection of reality when that link is reporting on "incidents". Especially when you can visit the city and witness stark difference compared to walking around somewhere like Miami,

Welcome to the majority of "journalism". All it takes is a look one or two levels down into the "facts" presented to realize they're wildly and poorly extrapolated to fit a narrative by whoever is paying the bills.

While the lock-in is real, there are other platforms that are catching up fast. My firm does Salesforce to HubSpot migrations as part of our services, and it's getting easier and easier to switch. Still takes time to retrain and shift

There was an entire data set released that had all the medical device injuries and malfunctions listed. Pretty interesting to dive into considering it wasn't previously public. Article mentioning the previously non-public database: ht

If EVs became the primary automobile of drivers, and also became the primary semi-truck form on the road, the economics change significantly. When there's demand for charging from an additional tens of millions or hundreds of millions

I've been working with Tableau for around 10 years and the most noticeable thing was making it easier for both developers and end-users to use the platform. Everything from mobile, to toolbar improvements, alerts, the API, etc. seem to

There are a lot of people who already do this. Take a look at the MicroConf community started by Rob Walling. The middle class is growing in software, you just won't read about it (usually) on most of the social media platforms or news

Wonder what that small of a change would do for the right location in a Presidential election... Maybe like the year 2000 for Florida where Bush won by just over 500 votes lol.

Absolutely. I never understood why taking mid-day breaks and relaxing wasn't encouraged when I was a full-time employee. Coworkers even mentioned it regularly during conversations that their problems always seemed to be solved while on

I've had an idea written down for a while about how it would be cool to have a tool like this but as a browser extension. It would show you exactly what on the page has been changed and also notify you when changes occur to pages or ar
