Beefin··on Wildfire Smoke in Northeastern US Visible on GOES East Images
controlled burns are fascinating, especially considering how rooted (hehe) in indigenous culture they are. do you have any formulas for deciding when and how to do so?

ahh good feedback, we're using Tesseract under the hood which may not have liked some of the text. What was the query that resulted in that gibberish?

great feedback, we're using mixpeek.com under the hood which doesn't have semantic search for the free version.

Beefin··on Health insurers just published close to a trillion hospital prices
I started a healthcare cost transparency platform in 2014 [1] and struggled to find costs by CPT code. The best we had was medicare reimbursement rates, which were hardly a good litmus for out of pocket costs. It's nice that after 8 years, things are finally shifting. Just shows how important timing is in entrepreneurship.
