Have you considered strategic/management consulting in the medical field. I know the big 4 will have specialists focusing on this - possibly related to the healthcare setup in your country - along with niche boutiques. I can't vouch for how much this would just involve powerpoint and Excel modelling bullshit in suits versus R analysis but I imagine data science skills would be extremely valuable. Also health policy if you are interested in the political side of things.

So... in English... for us mere mortals with limited Linux kernel exposure... does this accelerate (or decelerates) the system clock or is it a mock patching for system time function calls?

I was about to fly off the handle until I realised your sarcasm.

So how is this different from Airflow, other than Windows compatibility and a lack of dashboard?

>>I started out learning programming using Python and gradually came to prefer strongly typed languages.

Python IS strongly typed. It is also dynamically typed.

Is it just me that is jaw-droppingly astounded at why this is getting any love at all as a concept? Really great execution and design, but I simply cannot get on board with the concept. It is literally specialised calendar alerts and has no USP whatsoever. I'm amazed people are actually suggesting they would pay for this service.

I honestly thought this was a parody app as a social experiment performance art to highlight social media behaviour. Sorry, love the design and execution, but product has zero intrinsic value.

Yes, certainly has a great reference of circuitry but absolutely not pedagogical. That dull grey hardbound cover shudders.

Not possible as zero mutual friends, unless second degrees are considered which based on all other suggestions is not the case and would naively scale factorially (?).

Thanks for reading my post and noting this. I'm not sure the reverse relation applies either as it would require the doctor to have my personal contact on her mobile which is absolutely not the case as this is a shared practice and I haven't been to her in years.

Thanks for your reply but I have no idea why this is the top voted reply as it does not consider my factors . As noted by others:

1) The doctor/practice does not have my latest mobile phone number as I have not been to them in years. Having said that, it may be an old number on which I used to use Facebook. This friend suggestion is only in the past few months, which suggests that they are mining friend circles in historic usage data - everyone you know, and ever knew. All that being said, this would require my doctor to have my personal mobile number on her personal mobile phone on which she would have used Facebook at some point in time, which is absolutely impossible in a professional setting.

2) I have not installed Facebook on my current phone.

I'm still not convinced by any argument here, beyond the doctor actively looking me up on Facebook personally outside work.

I've no doubt that tech is discriminatory - as a minority myself I've definitely experienced odd feedback at interviews "the team were impressed by your abilities but we've decided to proceed with someone else" etc. I just mean to compare rejecting degree-less candidates is not equivalent to discrimination against "non-fit" groups (gender, ethnic, sexuality minorities) as a degree is a technical qualification and not a protected characteristic.
