I’ll also add that the field location in GG Park is a great setting to enjoy a Sunday afternoon outside.

It’s a fun league to play in. There’s a range of age and talent, but still competitive. They have open play days in the late fall for people to try it and fill empty team slots.

The gloves (think gardening glove) take some getting use to, so be aware and prepare for some banged up fingers while getting used to catching :)

The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson attempts to chronicle this in detail. The narrative has UC/Doudna making the fundamental contributions. And that the leap to human cells was "trivial" made by Broad/Zhang. Anyone have any perspective on how they were characterized?

Retool can't handle basic ethnical issues, why should one trust their customer data to them?

Timing aligns with Salt vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652)?

A little background: The health plan market roughly divides into individual health plans, small group (2-50 FTEs), and group. You fall into the individual market, at least for now, it seems.

A small group health plan isn't likely to be much less expensive, if any, and the small business health exchange SHOP (CoveredCA, Healthcare.gov, etc), the plans are pretty much the same individual plans.

The Affordable Care Act defined Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) which are basically a way to ensure that common and critical types of health care are guaranteed to be covered, along with a variety of other market making aspects (individual mandate, pre-existing conditions, etc). Prior to this, people could sell "health insurance" which covered few services, had strict amount limits, and could deny claims for various unclear reasons.

If you're going to earn less than $50k in 2017, then you'll qualify for a subsidy on your plan. If not, your options are going uninsured (potentially getting a tax fine at the end of the year), or enrolling in an individual market plan.

Stride Health, https://www.stridehealth.com helps consumers enroll in plans through CoveredCA and Healthcare.gov, as well as directly through the health plans. * Prices are the same you'll find anywhere else (they're set by law). I'd encourage you to try it, and hopefully it will take some of the headache out of it. * There's a support line with a very knowledgable staff if you have more questions about the impact of your income earning for the next year, or any more questions about your health care needs. * We'll also be there to help you throughout the year, and make sure to close the loop with your taxes the following year.

Stride Health is a health insurance recommendation engine geared towards the freelancers and independent contractors that make up one third of the U.S. labor force.

A user builds a health profile, and we use that information to predict their medical costs for the year and recommend a best-fit plan. After that, we're in it for the long haul: our personal support team is on call to help the user manage their health wisely, day-in, day-out. We're also well on our way to launching additional products that will evolve us into a broader HR support structure for independent workers.

Striders work hard, sweat the details, and enjoy life away from our computers together, too. We're looking for true team players that are passionate about our product, loyal to our users, and excited to heal a sick industry.

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "kerfuffle"? This is the same healthcare.gov that was/is sending PHI data to 3rd parties analytics and ad services (doubleclick, etc)?

ROI for other channels vs FB would indeed be the missing variables that would give context to the article. Cost of channel (TV in this case) is part of ROI, and it's the only other hint provided.

It says twice as much as they spent on the ads. That's a measure relative to the ad spend, not a performance measure compared to their other channels or campaigns. Big difference.

"the campaign generated about twice as much revenue as R.B. spent on the ads"

Which is put into light by the channel cost comparison from the article: “I can go to television at a quarter the price.”

Is +2pts of people who say they're more likely to buy worth 4x the budget? Hard to say... "During the eight-week campaign, 18.1 million women aged 45 and up saw at least one ad, according to Nielsen’s research. That was 56 percent of the target audience. The number who said they were now more likely to buy MegaRed rose by two percentage points."

Seems like the classic media sales approach is alive and well, and that it's boosting Facebook's revenues. The issue is that the way that Facebook shares data (or rather doesn't) makes meaningful analysis possible. "the [Facebook] ad strategists were saying they wanted him to spend money to show ads to every American woman 45 and older on Facebook — as many as 32 million people."

no kidding...

Fair perspective, but the government is still trying to solve a lot of the problems with closed-doors and the same contractors. There's a lot of startups that are focused on solving the problems of getting people health coverage.

A bigger challenge is ensuring people get the right coverage for their situation and understand the plan and provider network they're buying.

Disclaimer: I work at Stride Health, we help individuals buy plans in-context of their doctors, drugs, and health conditions they're treating. We're also hiring, sans the $840MM budget (https://stridehealth.com/jobs)

Clearly not representative. Seems like attempt for someone to start a recruiting service. Bias on schools to CMU Cornell and UPenn. Not other majors present.
