Honor faces the same issues as everyone in the home care industry: senior home health care is taxing work and there is very high turnover. It's also a very intimate and emotional industry. Some of our technology challenges are around Care Professional satisfaction and improving back-of-house operations.

I saw Dr. Karr present the Whole-Cell Computational Models a few months ago and I believe it's truly transformative work. Once you wrap your head around what they do, you'll understand the limitless potential this software could have.

I applied to work with them at the time but they were low on funding. I would apply today if I weren't already happily employed. Good luck Karr Lab!

Do most banks not have an API? If you use software (e.g. something from Intuit) that accesses your banking info, is it likely screen-scraping?
Re:Ask HN: How do you find potential coworkers for a startup? on Monday October 19, 2015 @01:36PM (#10414376)
I suggest you take it as far as you can by yourself, and then seek partners online. To take it off the ground, do you need someone to build a prototype? If that's the case, write out some deliverables and shop it around to developers.

from the ask-hn dept.

I've been freelancing for a few weeks and I am wondering if it's worth it for me to become an Inc, LLC, Sole Proprietor, etc. The only business expenses I've had this year so far are moving and office space. I will be working out of Philadelphia and currently have clients in Boston and Vancouver, but that will likely change as I get more clients. Additionally, I foresee growth as I have been...

I think they make a percentage of the salary of the person they helped hire.

It's clear that the same principle applies for every digit. But is the converse true? ie: Almost all numbers DON'T contain the digit "3"
