Savings? The skill to save money for a rainy day is an underrated skill. Without that skill you wouldn't be able to work for crappy money whilst learning new skills.
Assuming that the greatest skill of a doctor is asking the right questions?
Doing a vlookup from symptoms is going to be trivial for an app, but not easy to narrow down without extra info perhaps? In 'House' this would involve breaking into the patients house to look for evidence!
Why is the summary conflating two completely different things?
1. Data mining to determine people who may have symptoms
2. Curing cancer.
I imagine 1 is easier than 2. And more importantly, the two have nothing to do with each other!
Thinking about it.... number 1 is completely bonkers! If people are googling symptoms sufficiently to be flagged by data-mining, surely it would be trivial for a doctor to actually 'ask' them? Or if you live in one of those weird countries where appointments are not free, you could always use an online flowchart - in all likelihood this would give you the same answer as querying web logs.
You sound like you would write terrible requirement documents.
What do you want this app to do?
Why is it not there already?
Is an app really the answer?
Jeez, if they had banned porn AND video games I would be a doctor right now. Probably.
Never underestimate the human brain's capacity for slacking off:)
Leeches.
The only reason they can set up shop in a country that can afford their stupid phones is because a lot of people (other people) ARE paying the taxes to keep civilisation running. I would say this might be a tipping point but the angry mob needs their electronic dummies.
Why would somebody go to the trouble of doing this? If you are close enough to a machine then just look at what's being printed. Or pay someone to give you the plans. Or wait for the company to base their manufacturing in a third world company where IP is not respected.
Not American but this affects every country that is currently racing to the bottom. Ffs, passive resistance is needed, probably futile, but someone needs to take a stand before we're all writing documentation for our Indian colleagues.
In between the built-in backdoors, the work contracted to the lowest bidder, the lack of any professional oversight and the chronic short-termism, I would say that any networked infrastructure is pretty fucked should things go bad.
What about when these automated jobs get outsourced to foreign automatons?
Chinese robots probably cheaper than American robots.
Soon there will be just one robot doing 90% of middle-class jobs.

I mean what a cheek, expecting people who work in the UK to actually speak the language. Political correctness gone mad!
It's electrolytes isn't it? The taste that plants crave?

What if your tomatoes cost $100 an ounce?
More ingenious than the system that gave us the Commodore 64 in the first place?
As a fan of apocalyptic fiction this makes me very happy! The Purge films are looking more like reality every day :)
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise a kid
In the UK, horses study for 'Hay Levels'
Hopefully Elon Musk is pretty close with that giant spaceship, we might need some extra room.
I'm guessing that if they need that much content produced it will be stretching the term 'original'.

People who scoff at 'memory of water' are going to shit their pants when they read about this!

I've been looking for a moisture vaporator programmer ever since my last droids buggered off. Even the robots are scared of hard work :(
Nobody expects the etc etc They're bugs, that is kind of what bugs do, be unexpected.

Sorry, I value a rainforest over a few humans.

This sounds more convenient than the extract of feline pineal gland that I'm currently experimenting with. Cats are crazy hard to catch in numbers.
