I can't speak for all graph stores, but in addition to ADB being json-native as described below, many graph users describe the types of any value, not just floats or ints, as a relation or property to the value itself.
So you'd never have any value; object, key, value of a string, int, float, or reference, without associated meta-data typing it elsewhere in the graph, and would be unlikely to operate on that data without making reference to those properties.
If you want to go all the way back, UNC still hosts ibiblio.org, which has links to the first website at CERN http://info.cern.ch/ and TBL's first page.
Just want to add support. One of my childhood friends has a felony from when he was an overly-rambunctious teenager that he still gets punished for - including being kicked off AirBnB - for something he stole more than 20 years ago. Despite this, he's a very successful leader in mental health services management.
So many people deserve a chance to redeem themselves from being 'branded', yet are denied the exact opportunities that would allow them to do so. This problem goes back a long, long ways.[1]
Anything you can do to help is great. Best of luck!
FHIR is probably the best we are going to do for a long while to come.
If you're ever interested in learning more, my company builds the national reference implementation of SMART on FHIR for the Harvard DBMI, in support of the NIH 'Sync For Science' Pilot - happy to talk all about FHIR and data exchange standards!
The participating vendors will be launching pilots this year and things are proceeding well. If we can give them some positive attention for it, maybe we'll see some progress. I sure hope so!
Without bickering over MU requirements, you'd probably note that MU has been almost entirely ineffective at solving actual care problems with data exchange.
Of 50 state exchanges, most have collapsed, with only occasional use of the ad-hoc implementations and networks that remain. And people dying everyday while vendors like ECW get wrist-slaps for lying to CMS about their MU compliance.
Just-graduated MD/MPH and former EMT and ED admin here. I empathize strongly, since the first time I watched a 16-year girl who'd been in a MVC and first transported to Duke, who needed sub-specialty consults at UNC get re-scanned.
I'd read about CT dosing and realized that we had just increased this girls lifetime likelihood of ovarian or endometrial cancer by perhaps about 1/1000. For absolutely no reason other than the fact we couldn't get the images 8 miles down the road from the Duke ED, and the attending wanted to 'just be sure'.
I asked the resident why they couldn't send them digitally and they just laughed. That was 2009.
It's 8 years and a few hundred billion of national EMR spend later - and you know what? We still can't send an image between the two EDs. UNC and Duke were the first two nodes/servers on Usenet back in 1980[1], and 37 years later we can barely exchange medical data using our combined 1.3 billion dollars of Epic EMR implementations.
This problem harms people needlessly every day. Please use your voice as a provider to remind people whenever possible.
Yeah, it's interesting. We have decades of research into standardized tests in the academic setting, and yet most people generally feel that these metrics have very limited utility.
The notion that a startup has A: deep insights into the nature of cognitive function that others do not; and B: devised and tested a paradigm that sustainably improves it, was always a little shocking to see claimed.
While the ACOE has a complicated role in all this, they must serve many competing interests. The State of Louisiana, the needs of the maritime industry, oil and gas interests, and the federal government that allows the situation to continue, because of the temporary economic benefits we all reap from inaction.
An incredible overview of the problem was written 20 years ago by John McPhee[1], as part of his book "The Control of Nature". Unfortunately, solving the problem in the long term means essentially undermining the entire economy of South Louisiana, and leaving the City of New Orleans destitute.
I served in Baton Rouge for 3 years and spent a lot of time on the Mississippi River. It's an extraordinary resource that much of America silently takes for granted. I with there were better solutions to save it and protect the people of Louisiana, but I don't feel like I have better answers to these questions that anyone else. It's a tough situation.
Probably. Their RateBeer data indicates only 12 breweries, which seems like it's off by 2-4 fold? There must be at least 30 places within city limits, no? Maybe another 20 or so within 5-10 miles?
They also don't note the brands with East Coast production there like, say, Sierra Nevada and Oscar Blues, which would be hard to argue don't count as breweries.
Anyway, Santa Rosa is so small, it could really be the winner. But per capita, it would be hard to imagine anywhere else besides Asheville would be the spot.
Yeah. I worked next to these guys in the Harvard iLab when they were getting going. They had the opportunity to cut corners and cash out early on, but seemed to remain focused on building a truly robust, broadly capable picker.
I often noted with them at the time similar notions of the implications for the job market. There's so much hype out there, but I think RHR will be one of the companies that actually illustrates to the public where things are headed.
>I don't think anyone died as a result of a lack of proper collaboration and regulation in software development.
Come work in healthcare, you may change your mind.
In healthcare, a lack of domain expertise, rigor, collaboration, and regulation kills people every day. And inhibits our science. And is the root cause of billions a week in waste.
Yes, most web content and it's delivery we could do well, or be better off, without. But in many jobs, the software constrains or enables behaviors that have real consequences.
"If anything, there should be law outlawing websites like this."
There is, don't worry. This would be 'Standalone Software' that is labeled as:
"intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals"
So, by claiming to be a Medical Device, it's regulated. And since it seems to be a pretty lousy, unapproved, medical device, it's actually illegal.
Maybe when Theranos.com comes available, these guys could try to snag it though!
So you'd never have any value; object, key, value of a string, int, float, or reference, without associated meta-data typing it elsewhere in the graph, and would be unlikely to operate on that data without making reference to those properties.
