I think you and the parent comment are talking about different scales. A large SaaS company deal could be $300k per month per customer , and the sales process for a company like th…

I really like this idea, and would love to subscribe when you’re ready! I think many commenters have pointed out reasons why this model is not suited to widespread user adoption, b…

I agree; I’ve had multiple instances recently of booking through a third party where getting changes or refunds is very slow and clunky, if they will even do it at all. Contrast th…

It’s free to end consumer, but these schemes make money by charging a percentage to merchants. And those merchants will compensate by bumping up their prices a little to cover the …

I found this video to be a good explainer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R1JaMRpcDrQ&pp=ygUbQnV5IG5vIHB... It seems like many of them act like credit cards and charge the merchant …

You seem to be the lucky lightning rod comment on this! I guess it's fitting that the tech world gets particularly up in arms about this; we're certainly a group who enjoys demandi…

I've settled on the explanation that this is just a cultural difference, and anyone arguing from a place of "logic" or "correctness" is refusing to accept that it's all convention,…

And the 1975! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0E_uK01odHg Based on the context of the title, I had just assumed petrichor was the name of an artist or something. Glad to know the rea…

Executive summaries are part of the industry, where people boil down non-fiction books into short pieces of text. E.g. Blinkist (not affiliated, just the first result on Google) It…

In a hospital setting, nurses and doctors round regularly. No one is talking about using AI as a replacement for that, because no one has anything approaching that much trust in pr…

I think what you described falls under #2 in my reply. “Doing it well” is not a trivial option that people are ignoring; “doing it well” is the thing people are trying to solve. AI…

I can tell you that the current focuses of AI implementations are around real, impactful issues: sepsis risk, readmission risk, deterioration index, etc. The problems with AI in he…

They are finally reaching the point of rolling out their new clients that get off Visual Basic, so that’s something. M, however, ends up being a combined database/business logic pl…

I don’t think Epic’s install costs are secret or a “gotcha”. Any administrator interested in Epic can look at 20 years of installs and see that an Epic implementation is routinely …

Some college guys I know rode 200 miles around essentially a big roundabout (the loop length was probably less than 300 meters) at 20mph. When asked why they did it, they basically…

I wish the author the best on their reading journey! I feel like this article shares a valuable experience, and I would encourage anyone who's on the fence or who views literature …

I'd recommend Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang [0]. It's often billed as "speculative fiction", and I'd describe it as a series of short stories that define worlds sli…

I think the parent's comment was saying to find reviewers whose tastes align with your own, then trust their reviews for new content. This requires 1) that the media they publish t…

He’s said that he thinks his method of typing works fine and doesn’t lead to repetitive stress injuries, so he prefers it. I don’t remember which specific videos he said that in of…

Econtalk had a recent episode [0] that discusses this problem and the limitations when applied to real life. There's also a transcript [1] for those who prefer reading. I found the…

I don’t really understand that idea of complexity, but Rick Beato is addressing this song from a music theory perspective, and I think this song would meet anyone’s definition of c…

I don’t think that’s the obvious takeaway. The specific chord voicings are complicated, sure, but the complexity he’s talking about are the key changes and unexpected tonal choices…

I’m curious for more details on what your templating system was and how it worked. If you’re up for sharing, I’d love to hear about it. I know the aforementioned EMR puts a lot of …

The 12-TET certainly has some neat mathematical properties, but my point is that it’s not the only way to decide what “notes” are. It’s an interesting debate on whether there’s som…

It is artificial, in the sense that the western twelve tone scale is essentially arbitrary (why not 6? why not 16?), and it is a constraint in the sense that what most people consi…
