I'm a cloud infrastructure & devops engineer, focusing on healthcare and compliance, and Kubernetes on GKE or EKS. I love Terraform, k8s, and am very fast at architecting and deploying new infra.

I also like to surf and do analog photography.

technics256··on Google terminated our business via our Google Play Developer Account
This also happened to me, and I have no idea why. I'm making a Healthcare app using react native, and got banned spontaneously as well. No recourse, nothing. No ability to change anything.

I'm making sure all of my resources are spent on AWS and Microsoft services. Never again for Google.

And thankfully, physicians prefer iPhones over Android by a large margin.

Do you have an example you can share?
technics256··on SF restaurants are suffocating
An excellent article that highlights the biggest issues facing SF and the Bay Area overall, and the people who do not do a lot about it.
technics256··on Doctors ask engineers to spend more time in the hospital before building apps
Could you elaborate on Siemens wanting to steal it?
technics256··on Ask HN: What technologies did you learn in 2018?
Curious where you got the data for social work and veterans food storage? Those are interesting datasets that i'd also like to look at.
technics256··on ‘I’m Broke and Mostly Friendless, and I’ve Wasted My Whole Life’
Curious what country this is? I find it quite the same in Germany.

Awesome. Care to share or point to best resources to learn? Thanks!
technics256··on I’m Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
How have the changes by the Trump administration made it more difficult, if at all, for tech companies to hire and get visas for foreigners?

What are the biggest takeaways founders should know?

Thank you.

technics256··on Ask HN: Have you shipped anything serious with a “serverless” architecture?
As someobe new to serverless, is your code available to study as a pseudo tutorial?
technics256··on Boston Dynamics will start selling its dog-like SpotMini robot in 2019
If you haven't seen the black mirror episode "Metal Head", it will be right up your alley.

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the demo.

technics256··on Everyone Wants to Go Home During Extra Innings, Maybe Even the Umps
Continuity of players and teams you mean, or the pace of the game?

As a lifelong baseball fan, I'm curious what is too fast.

technics256··on The latest trend for tech interviews: Days of unpaid homework
Lol as an American living in Germany I totally empathize with you, it made me smile.

Germany also says it suffers from a lack of developers, but in my opinion what they don't say is that they need more developers to treat poorly and with a low salary.

technics256··on Ask HN: What books do you keep on your desk?
Sounds interesting. Have a link or title?
technics256··on Google Cloud Text-To-Speech Powered by DeepMind WaveNet Technology
Is your code on github?
technics256··on Google will ban all cryptocurrency-related advertising
Now if only Twitter would do the same, it's about 90% of their promoted tweets now. To me, it says something about the platform overall since they don't seem to mind these obvious scams marketing to their userbase.
technics256··on Buy Now, Pay Later Helps JAB Billionaires Build Beverage Empire
Please do, or point to some illuminating resources. Thanks!
technics256··on You can’t build a SaaS company in 2018 without significant funding
This is too generic, and hard to apply to one market space or industry. Beware of broad brushes like this.
technics256··on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy successfully launches
In engineering terms, how does this compare to the most powerful rocket ever made, the Saturn V?
technics256··on Why it costs so much to be poor in America
This is why I left the United States. I live in Germany, and while every place has its drawbacks, I feel safe, have affordable housing, and don't have to worry about healthcare and predatory things like this if things go south.
technics256··on Navigate tax season using Stripe Atlas
Stripe Atlas solves this problem for you right, having a bank account with SVB? I'm an American, living in Germany, doing something very similar.
technics256··on AI in drug discovery is overhyped: examples from AstraZeneca, Harvard, Stanford
They are, but you have to realize that the companies themselves are focused on healthcare first, and reimbursement. Healthcare in the United States is a fee for service model, not a value based one. So the system isn't aligned for it. But they are doing it, look at the sepsis NLP solution created by Mass General in-house.
technics256··on AI in drug discovery is overhyped: examples from AstraZeneca, Harvard, Stanford
I don't agree with this. Have you not seen the work by Regina Barzilay and David Sontag at MIT? His paper about embeddings of categorical data across 4.5million medical records?

You can build an entire CDS from the data, which is publicly available.

And if you can't find a problem to solve, then why don't you ask where the pain is? There are a _ton_ of low hanging fruit items that NLP and Deep Learning that can help with _today_ in the clinical environment. How about:

Question-answering for doctors that immediately need to find time-critical facts from a patients medical record? My sister, a hospitalist, begs for help in this area when treating seriously ill patients that come into the ER from different hospitals.

How about helping insurers better model their patient populations from unstructured data?

ICD coding for medical billing, our extremely wasteful 16-20billion dollar a year industry with _terrible_ NLP solutions in the current market?

There are problems to be solved. You just need to ask your customers, and find their pain.

technics256··on Reading privileged memory with a side-channel
Thank you for this. Would you say this applies to both Spectre and Meltdown, or one and not the other?
technics256··on A Hacker Writes a Children's Book
Agreed, i have been looking for books like this for quite a long time.
