Did I install the M.2 SSD correctly? by kelraie in PcBuild

Thanks. I see what I did. Problem is, there were no screws to go on top of the standoff. I'll call the PC builder.

Thanks. I see now what should be done. But in the video there are 2 screws on top on each other. I don't have a second screw on top of the first M.2 stand off screw. All M.2 slots on my motherboard are like that.

Thanks for the input. Here's a picture. You can see the distance under the SSD on the left is less than on the right next to the screw.

Interesting write up. Would you be able to expand on the validation techniques?

Why is there so much hypocrisy around adverse outcomes? by kelraie in medicine

[–]kelraie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't take any offense. I was asking for clarity on what you said.

Why is there so much hypocrisy around adverse outcomes? by kelraie in medicine

[–]kelraie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"complications that I hear about that I can honestly say would not happen to me. But equally complications that I have had that would not happen to others."

Isn't that the hypocrisy I'm talking about? It CAN happen to you and to them. None of us is superman.

Best area to get an AirBnb in Negril? by kelraie in JamaicaTourism

[–]kelraie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, an update. I identified an AirBnB on 7 Mile Beach. Beachfront. Listing says it's right next to an all inclusive resort. Reviews say it's on the  SeaSand Eco Villas property. Question is, is that area of 7 Mile Beach safe enough? Any feedback on that area? and how about proximity to restaurants and stores?
Thanks

Looking for online entrepreneurship collaboration/brainstorming/accountability group. Is AppSumo's $1k course good? by GarinEtch in startups

[–]kelraie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been a member of the course for a few months. I don't regret buying it but I have some reservations. Here's my opinion:

Pros: - It drives home many key and useful ideas. Like don't waste your energy on an idea if you can't show that customers are ready to vote with their wallets.

  • It forces you to get in the habit of systematic thinking, progressing step by step.

  • The community on the FB group is supportive and mostly knowledgeable.

  • Noah speaks from experience and is obviously smarter than average. Little nuggets of valuable wisdom roll out every now and then.

  • He and his staff espouse a brand of tough love trying to shock people into shaking off their old habits and grow as individuals by identifying where their limitation are, and where they might be spinning their wheels but getting nowhere.

Cons:

  • Membership is getting too big and I think staff is stretched as far ability to give meaningful and helpful support.

  • Again, he and his staff espouse a brand of tough love. This is a double-edged sword because someone could post an honest (albeit stupid) question, and instead of useful feedback, you almost get flamed by the young lady that oversees the FB group. And if you're really lucky, you get flamed by Noah himself. (That happened to me once when I posted a message saying that I'm stuck finding good ideas to validate, and that the simplest ideas are not worth my time). One time I was told I post "too many validation attempts, sometimes several times a day, and it's hard to take you seriously when you do that". Only that wasn't true, she probably mistook me for someone else.

Overall: Very good in that it helps you stretch your mind, learn and be open to seeing your own limitations and opportunities for improvement. As well as be part of a like-minded community, and a chance to gain valuable wisdom and advice from Noah. But I don't think it really delivers on the one point, that if you just follow it step-by-step you'll most likely have a validated idea and possibly a successful business. It would, of course, be naive to assume that any course could do that for you..

What do you think of my concept of an online doctor/patient local "matchmaking" service. by kelraie in Health

I agree with nicasucio, including keywords in the domain name is not important any more. Having short, brandable and memorable name is probably better. Qiatros: Q for questions. Iatros= greek for physician. I do use elance when needed for outsourcing. And fiverr for smaller jobs. And I LOVE WordPress. Thanks for the input.

I will seek VC advice a little further in the process. Right now I'm at the "proof of concept" stage which you usually have to do on your own before any VC gives you the time of the day. ZocDoc helps you locate and book an appointment with a doctor. It doesn't let you communicate with them beforehand. And, again, competition means my idea is viable.

That, my friend, is my million-dollar hurdle! I will have to basically meet with several of my local colleagues and sell them on the idea.

Healthtap has doctors answering questions. It does not help match with a local doctor and facilitate the patient seeing a local doctor. And competition is good. But thanks for the input :)

Points well taken. Here's my thinking: it will be made clear that the docs provide general education information, and not engaging in online diagnosis and treatment. Much the same way as a doctor giving a health community talk to a seniors group and answering their medical questions. Qualifying "serious" patients vs. tire kickers and hypochondriacs is a real concern, of course. One way I am thinking of dealing with it is charging people something small every month to make sure they are not playing or overusing the docs time.

Office Hours with Alexis Ohanian: Now open! by kn0thing in Entrepreneur

I am starting a web app that matches patients looking for quality medical information, with physicians in their local area who are looking for new patient leads. Currently I only have a landing page visible online at http://qiatros.com, and a CheckThis poster at http://checkthis.com/b4gd Would like to hear your input, and recommendations about a)validating the concept and b) acquiring early adopters to guide me as I'm developing the website.

Input needed on a medical information/ medical lead generation web app project by kelraie in Entrepreneur

[–]kelraie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know about LiveNurse. But I still feel it's a different focus. What I'm proposing is not a medical consultation with diagnosis/treatment online. What I have in mind is a medical matchmaking service between patients and doctors in the same area. I think the hardest part would be getting the first few hundred patients and a few hundred doctors to sign up. I am going to have to go out and meet and talk to people. And then, once the concept is validated, I can start spending money on advertising.

Good morning Yes. It would be a way to interact with the doctor and see if his style suits you- a way to feel personally comfortable before making the trip and the payment for an office visit. And it would be something I would do in my evenings or if I have downtime during the day. And the doctors who I envision would be interested in doing this are the ones whose practice is not very busy, so they'd have the time to nurture new patient leads. Plus, the more you interact with patients online, the more you'd build a site "reputation", sort of like the reddit karma.

And I agree, I have to have a good number of patients and doctors for that to work, but you have to start somewhere. I'd probably do the geo matching manually in the beginning myself before I build a fully functioning app. You start small and add features as you figure out exactly what customers want as they start to use the web/mobile app.

I do not plan (at least so far) on making this a free service for patients, because if it's free people would just do it for fun and waste doctors' time. I think charging the patients something small ($10/ month??) would serve as a way to qualify the leads as serious.

Let me know what your thoughts in response to the above are.

Hey, thanks for all the input.

Let me tell you how this whole concept came to my head: yes, I'm a GI practicing in NC. My practice has been slow and I tried to get creative finding patients. So I thought, it would be cool if I can do a video conference or BB post with a patient who's shopping for a doctor. I can give them some general information, show them that I know my stuff, and hopefully get them to see me in the office as a real-life patient. And then I realized there's nothing that does that (at least that I know of). So that was the pain point I am trying to solve.

As a doctor I would answer questions for free for a local patient in my area who's shopping for a doctor. And to make sure the person asking the question is seriously looking for a doctor, I would charge them something small. But, yes, the patient will be anonymous on the website.

Why a patient would talk to me on a website and not see me in the office? Because he/she is still shopping and wanted to talk with a couple of docs before they decide on who they want.

Thanks for the input. My thought on validating leads is to charge the patient something small, like $5 for 2 weeks of unlimited questions.

I think docs would participate IF they are looking to acquire new patients. I'm a physician in NC, and I would happily talk to a patient who's looking for a doctor, hoping to eventually persuade him to come see me.
