    New health care initiative by Amazon, Berkshire and JPM-C

    I guess that this has more to do with Machine Learning and AI. They will get more data with this and they have a population to test the machines. It seems in some cases machines are already better than Radiologist in diagnosis. It looks that doctors just follow a flow chart.

    Years of work to maximize SS?

    I guess to get best return for an ER dreamer, one should try to cross 32% bendpoint. SS is given by .9x791+.32x2029+.15 of rest. So for better return one should try to cross 791+2029 bend points. one can play with Anypia to find the minimum number of work years to go into 15% area, it will also...
