anon6567··on Thinking of starting a Health IT company? Here are top three industry challenges
I got this pitched to me a couple of months back, but why not start a Yelp-like medical tourism service? Americans can save a ton of money going to S. Korea or anther country with similar healthcare standards at the fraction of the price. It would have to be elective surgery, but you can save a ton of money.

> Try upsetting a doctor by calling him/her "mister"/"miss" repeatedly.

I know a ton of CS PhDs, they never like to be called doctor or introduce themselves as Dr. So and So, are you talking about MDs?

Yeah CPC.
anon6567··on FullContact API gives marketing superpowers to growth hackers
This sounds a lot like RapLeaf, what are the pros and cons of each service?
anon6567··on Ask HN: What would you do with $20000 USD for your startup?
I was getting around .019% - .03%. Which I thought was awful. Around a dollar a click and targeting all the major programming languages.

There is no time or description of the hack, any more info?
anon6567··on GoldRunner, Vivian Rosenthal and Augmented Reality
I heard Ms. Rosenthal speak at a VLAB panel discussion @ Stanford, she didn't have anything interesting to say other than parrot the other panelist. She had a gimmicky concept with no tech background or demo to show off. I highly doubt the TV show will have real AR, it will just be super imposed post editing to make it look like people are using devices that have AR apps installed.
anon6567··on Question that Harvard Students Get Wrong
Huh, I got it wrong, and I didn't go to any of the schools mentioned in the article, maybe I just stupid?
anon6567··on Ask HN: Useful ways to get rid of old programming books
Give them to someone's kid who's into computers. I'm sure they can get some use out of it.
anon6567··on 4Chan Accepts Bitcoin
What can you buy @ 4chan?
anon6567··on Ask HN: What would you do with $20000 USD for your startup?
I'd skip the FB ads unless your product is not related to tech. Most tech savvy users have adblock and won't see the ads resulting in poor conversion rates.

For 20,000, I would spend it on a designer to make your product look great if you already have an MVP. If not, you should be working on getting an MVP and not worry about ads just yet.

An easy way for market validation would be to use a sign up page like launchrock and put in a elevator pitch. Ask friends to share on FB/Twitter and see the response.
