asdasdasfasgasd··on A Kid, a Minor Bike Accident and a $19,000 Medical Bill
The "resolution" says they "only" have to pay 2.000$ in deductibles and copay now.

Just for comparison: a fully-fledged broken leg operation costs 3.000€ for non-insured people in Germany.

Isn't insurance supposed to bring things down to 0$ instead of copays that still surpass the actual cost?

asdasdasfasgasd··on What Does 5G Mean for Mobile App Developers?
Things will get more interesting when the 5G core networks take off and services connect to it. Just an example:

- operator-vetted user authentication

- zero-overhead VPN-like services

- peer-to-peer smartphone communication

The 5G hype really isn't about making the Internet link a little faster. It's about establishing a "service-marketplace".
