Take a look at AWS Healthlake and AWS Comprehend Medical

Zuora is a well-known Enterprise-scale commercial option that displaced many others as “SaaS” took off several years ago (and its associated accounting standards).

Depending on complexity, Netsuite can address some moderate scale use cases. Stripe, Chargebee, etc address more of the SMB-scale needs.

Yeah, usage rating and billing systems get wildly complex. Especially when you start considering edge cases- beyond leap years and handling time zones, things like a billable event spanning days (run a few minutes just before midnight), etc.

For those of us who are unfamiliar, are these essentially some sort of perpetual pocket ledger?

A Chick-fil-a near me recently remodeled and moved to a dine-in model where you don’t order at a counter- you sit down and someone comes to take your order on a tablet. I suspect we’re 5-10 years out from McD and others trying to incentivize tipping for order takers, and eliminating dine-in from some locations entirely. McD fries just aren’t the same when delivered!

The author mentions the possibility of retail banks filling this role, and they already do the reverse—if you have a paper US Savings Bond, it can be redeemed for cash at almost any full-service bank branch. They are already deeply-involved in FedWire, the ACH Clearinghouse, and other payments rails. There’s also one in almost every neighborhood across the US.

Python 3.11 is ~25% faster… Lambda is billed based on compute duration… if you are AWS PM Lead, it’s a challenging eng investment to justify.

Yeah, a lot of people who run their own email server keep it for inbound mail, and use something like Amazon SES or Sendgrid for outbound mail (so it isn’t marked as spam). Most residential ISPs block SMTP’s port 25 as well.

OrangeTheory was transformative for me-stepped in to my first class in 2018, struggled, then powered through a 55 lb weight loss over 6 months. The data-driven aspect of it helped a lot, and the fact that it’s 60 min and coached means no waiting for machines or Googling routines.

If you really can’t invest the 60 min, they have 45 min strength-focused classes, or F45 is a similar gym and all 45 min.

Go twice a week, and supplement by buying a rowing machine for home another 2-3x days/week for 30-40min.

This is targeted at a would-be wildcard manager, but for those of you who identify this way, how do you describe this skillset? I’m a combination product manager, data engineer, strategy consultant, and UX/UI designer. While everyone I’ve ever worked with sees that I really am capable across those roles in time, it’s been challenging to convey the breadth of expertise to a hiring manager, without seeming quite arrogant (Mr. “I can do anything”).
