I have heard a lot about this recently and a number of people in my life ask about it. My mother in law takes Ozempic (which is similar) and had good results (she is a T2 diabetic).
If your doctor won’t prescribe it, there is a company called Calibrate that will work with your insurer to get it for you (https://www.joincalibrate.com/)
Rereading this was of text, I am always interested in how I can tie together notes from one meetings to quickly think - who was that vendor that does XYZ, they should acquire this other vendor. My only solutions would rely on NLP or more organized notes, but not sure how to do either at this point.
For the one year of college I did it, taking notes on a yellow note pass during class, then copying and cleaning those notes into a dedicated spiral for that class made a huge difference. Every test was easy and I was a superhero. Then I got into the social scene in a big way and the extra hour or two per day it required was too much! I still regret not keeping with it and think there is a way to incorporate it today but not entirely sure. I use one note a lot to keep electronic records of my meetings but there isn’t a way to analyze after the fact.
I was just thinking about this- pair that with a iPad that sits on refrigerator and shows your grocery list and family calendar. Then it blocks your smart tv from sending data out and allows family to keep organized. Does 3 things very well and that’s it
This guy wrote a book 30 years ago saying his real father was a loser and a neighbor (his rich dad) was a winner for turning him on to real estate investing. Now we have to hear his chicken little investing advice every 6 months.
We don’t know that. The Fed has been saying since 2021 they were going to raise rates. Thousands of people who get paid billions of dollars mostly missed it. Powell is either going to go down in history as someone who successfully transitioned to more normal rates or he wrecked the economy. This article isn’t the commentary of the FRB
This looks really great. I can imagine adding some features around the explanations from an educational standpoint. You could go from never having done this to understanding a lot more of the ins and outs of ML very quickly. Kudos
There are 4 news organizations saying the same thing. A lot of great reasons on here why they would be interested - robotics expertise, great business that has struggle recently, etc.
I think another big reason is putting it at the top of all searches within their app and website. They can sell more by doing that and get a return on investment very quickly.
If Chinese companies are collecting this data already, not sure why we would fear Amazon having it.
Opening up the API on wearables is going to be the real change in digital health. The last 2 years was a flood of poor investments. Natural Cycles is a digital/non-hormonal birth control that will be awesome
I find it hard to believe they should be worth more than Twilio. They get a cut of revenue but they are still developer focused, which limits ultimate upside. It is about making developers lives easier not about building a network that scales
The SEC has been saying for months they were taking a harder look here. Just reading the writing on the wall. All the companies that have gone public via SPAC have not done well, not sure who would go public that way - I imagine no one will be holding the bag because most will give the money back and go away
I think an even better quote for this situation is the one where the same character says “there are 3 ways to make money - be first, be smarter, or cheat. And the easiest is always to be first.”
But when shopping from home the default on a lot of sites is Apple Pay which is ridiculously easy compared to most other options. The comparison to in store shopping isn’t the same (though Apple Pay is still relatively easy where i hold the phone up to the terminal and it works).
As for health insurance, you should look into Direct Primary Care. Sort of like concierge medicine for all where you can pay a family fee and then add a catastrophe plan on top. Would likely allow you to lower your health expenses significantly, see a primary care physician more often or for longer visits and stay on top of your health. Could point you in a direction for depression treatments? Might free you from having to keep a job for insurance.
I think about this a lot. There is a need for more data-driven applications to create graphics that are more “track able” than excel. I have a series of charts that need to be sent out to multiple people (internal and external) each week. Charts, logos, tables, etc could benefit from a pipeline but without needing a data engineer. Right now, we have a standard data download from Bloomberg or another data provider, macros to change the format, access to slice, back to excel where the charts are 75% standard but might need some tweaking. Bloomberg might not classify one company as healthcare but I want to include them so access keeps a list or companies I want. That same Bloomberg output could include companies some of my colleagues would classify as tech companies so relevant for multiple people. No way to see what was done last week or changes made to the chart / table output from one person to another besides new versions of the same excel file (but still no way to see the logs)
Long winded description but hopefully helps describe how important excel is but there is still room to grow.
Oftentimes a banker would include an incentive fee for higher valuation - 2% of value up to $50M then 3% on anything above $50M. You can negotiate all these things up front.
Depends upon your interest in burning out your analyst. It all starts with the same data, then downloaded to excel and each sector group classifies and cuts a different way. When you go to update, most of that is lost in excel or to a previous team member, not stored by sector or product group on the cloud. If I categorize Certara as digital health, they should be like that for my team but pharma for the pharma team.
There are inefficiencies in the investment banking world where marketing materials and other pitch deck materials is too manual. We have highly compensated individuals perfecting PowerPoints but too many of the slide creation companies are not relevant for what bankers do. Would love to create something and have ideas on how to make it work but limited tech experience.
