For anyone who has school age kids, WhatsApp usage is pretty huge in the US as well.

Sad. I remember first meeting Om in NYC, just as he was getting ready to move to the Bay Area and before his blogging career took off. As a side gig, he was one of the originators of the South Asian social scene (desiparty.com). Spoke with him briefly and just remember him being nice and friendly. RIP Om!

Seems like a subset of enthusiasts - early stage VC types, people working in product, people who write lengthy healthcare posts on LinkedIn, have been trying to position it as another HLTH, but that’s not what it is. It’s an investor conference that you need to be invited to. Wouldn’t be surprising if JPM somehow had taken a stake or done a deal with your company, combined with some government insiders. The digital health community, however, has used it to start off the new year with a bang. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The best way to get tested may be in conjunction with a trial. This was can potentially enroll.

The NYTimes states that there was an advisory on the switches but that the FAA had not deemed them unsafe. It also states that on this plane the switches were changed in 2023.

Is there an option where if you don’t guess a word, it tells you what it was (at least after the timer is up?).

Sad to see a care organization like this shut down. But curious to understand what exactly they were disrupting? From the outset, looks like a pediatric clinic that accepts insurance (and has a cash pay option) - but this is how most pediatric clinics/urgent care that are not venture backed operate. There doesn’t seem to be a disruption in their revenue model (like a one medical style subscription service), and vbc doesn’t apply much to pediatric care. Not criticisms, just trying to understand what the goal was.

or perhaps because Blue Origin hopes to do business with the Government? Just a thought. A non issue for the NYTimes but for the owners of WaPo and LA Times…
