I wouldn't go that far with Epic. They always have some unadvertised module they try to push on hospitals the minute they want to interface with a third party.

HL7 is a massive farce. It is an impossibly large standard that's difficult to understand and rarely used for interoperability.

You would think that's the case but from experience it's not. I can name two hospitals in NYC that were supposed to see savings from EHR implementations but ended up having multipl…

I didn't down vote you but here is the flaw. Rent typically trends upward with property values which eats away at a tenants ability to save. This is particularly true in markets li…

You're not a responsible adult until you recognize debt is a tool. You can use the tool well or poorly but it is just a tool.

With the housing bubble there wasn't a good way to look at each mortgage or the borrowers ability to pay. In a lot of cases the mortgage data was falsified or didn't even exist. In…

Transparency of housing sales isn't what allowed people to see the contractions and it certainly didn't keep the problem from getting worse. Massive numbers of defaults were the in…

That's a pretty hilarious statement considering the lack of transparency is what led to our own market crash.

I have a difficult time believing that stability is the main reason for the lack of integration. Admins have the ability enable/disable certain features. Throw a beta flag in front…

I'm going to take a crazy leap here based on the commits. asm might not stand for what you think.

While most real estate agents are completely useless I don't believe the profession is useless. A good real estate agent knows everything about the area they service. What areas ha…

Yes, I should have been more clear. I meant both.

I have no idea what you think I said.

That's a lot to ask from a local government.

You say that like it's a simple thing, it's not. Here is a concrete example of what I mean. In NYC rent control/stabilization artificially limits the supply and increases the cost …

There should be some limitations in place but how would you enforce them? If your local government checks Airbnb regularly to find people breaking the law then people will just use…

It will remain true in places where there is limited supply due to geography or legal restrictions. Those also happen to be where a lot of major tourist destinations are.

This was inevitable and it is going to drive real estate sale and rental prices up dramatically in tourist destinations. I have relatives who own rental property in Key West, they …

You're absolutely right but that doesn't mean those small subreddits didn't have an impact, /r/fatpeoplehate and /r/imgoingtohellforthis were increasingly showing up on the frontpa…

Except it won't necessarily match their previous salaries. There are a lot of high 5 digit and low six digit incomes in the social services job hierarchy.

The problem is, when you scrap all of those programs you immediately create more unemployment. There are a lot of jobs supporting social services, the hard part is going to be find…

Other than the obvious brand association issues that's not really Google's problem. IIRC this is part of the reason why Google changed their licensing agreement to prevent forked S…

Yes, let's not celebrate human achievement and think about the positive possibilities, let's focus on the negative at every turn.

The cynicism is amazing.
