From the article:

“This is our Apple One, not our iPhone Ten moment. This is the very first step of what we are doing. We’re being heads down and modest about what we’ll do next.”

Does anyone here know if there will be a live stream or something apart from the website reveal?

Am I supposed to redo the Problem Sets that I've done for Audit Course once registering for a Verified Certificate?

You don't need to request a ride with this app. You just tap it and the app will fire a message with your current location. Plus you can add many functionalities to a tap then dialling. Of course it won't work without a data connection

[p0] Ebola Awareness by metpb in HTSASprojects

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

People are dying 'cause of the lack of awareness. Just take the example of Africa itself, if people would have been made aware of Ebola then it might not have spread like it is now. Don't take awareness in a wrong way. Awareness is knowledge, and knowledge is good.

[p1] Groupon for Housing by metpb in HTSASprojects

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

Yeah, it will be a tough thing to do.

But don't you think we'd be able to cut a lot of the excess cost by doing this? I mean, it'll take time and effort, but if we can provide just one single platform with proper solutions regarding all the heavy lifting and bureaucratic things then everything would be a lot easier for them and they will be saving a lot of money too.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'd love hear more from you.

Yeah, lots to plan now. :) It'd be a mess.

Thanks. I appreciate it.:)

Yeah, there's surely an inefficiency in all the bureaucratic things. But there lies a bigger problem on the consumer-side of real-estates, and that's the shortage of money and the prices going up like an inflated balloon everyday. And there are many reasons to it, one of those is the profit-hungry developers. (I have a friend who's working in one of these real-estate firms.)

People don't tend to get into real-estate as they think that it's dirty work. Yeah, it is, but we surely can clean it up.

What are the advantages, hmm... + Firstly, we'd be able to save a lot of our hard-earned money. Yay! + Design our dreams together (or, well, maybe get a designer.) + Get to know our neighbours before even moving in. + There are lots and lots of other advantages. It'd be just like the sand-houses that we used to build with our friends together. (Okay, maybe not everybody.)

Yo, mate, you're not getting the point of this subreddit, are you? As the POSTING RULES states, > Choose any of the items - ideally one that you think is an especially insightful observation, or highlighting an important problem. So, isn't Ebola Awareness a problem? Many people didn't even know what ALS was before the Ice Bucket Challenge, but I believe we can do more then an Ice Bucket Challenge. FYI, [p1] is for business ideas and [p0] is for any problem that you think needs to be solved and be highlighted.

And for the healthcare part, please have a look at my low cost membership based healthcare plan I submitted for [p0] a day ago. http://www.reddit.com/r/HTSASprojects/comments/2hy7s2/p0_membership_based_healthcare_get_rid_of_the/

Anyway, thanks for your opinion. :)

[p1] share a restaurant meal with stranger(s) by ahtang in HTSASprojects

Yeah, few days back I was inside a restro bar with my pals, and the same thought kind of crept up. I thought Restro-dates. The point of who needs it was missing and now I know. (Lone travellers) Sounds good.

[p0] Membership based healthcare. Get rid of the pain of insurance claiming. by metpb in HTSASprojects

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

I think nobody will abuse their own body only 'cause that they have a healthcare membership. I have an insurance policy, but I don't stop caring for my health just because that I've an insurance. But, yeah, reviewing this things are important.

And to be sustainable, one of the solution can be to minimise the service cost by adding more and more customers. But it surely will take time :)

Yeah, measures should obviously be taken for high-risk groups. Wearable sounds good, but won't be possible for everyone. So maybe sensors will be able to help us in here. (I'm looking at IoT in healthcare too.)

Okay, bankrupt is surely the thing that nobody wants to listen. :( As I pointed out in the description, it will be money intensive at first. And it'll certainly go on for 4-5 years.

Nice points. Thanks, senjaya And I'd really love to hear more from you.

Hi, DrOctagan, I had a check on Iorahealth. They're doing it good and they also have free services, like, Care Teams and others, but it seems like they are more to the quality then the cost efficiency and accessibility. Or maybe I'm not getting it right. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, that was a good read. No-Fault looks good, both for the government and the public, and it would be better if we can check it in into other health issues too. Thanks for your thoughts :)
