It's way too early in the election season to be turning every thread into a dung slinging festival. Especially since (as is obvious from this thread) the parrots don't have anything to say that hasn't been said a million times already.
IBM sells consulting. They have highly trained experts available in whatever technology is hot this year, just write the check and all your problems will go away.
Maybe you should use... (wait for it) A RELATIONAL DATABASE.
The advantage of a hierarchical versus relational database model is that the former is much faster storing large amounts of data that fits in the hierarchy (which healthcare data does). Foreign keys and hierarchical joins are built into the data. The disadvantage is that doing anything the doesn't fit the hierarchy is difficult compared to the flexibility of a relational model. This is why systems written in MUMPS have great transaction throughput and the UIs are usually responsive, but running reports is a nightmare.
The term 'gig economy" is just a euphemism for day laborer.
That's completely wrong; "gig economy" implies you have something to offer that others are willing to pay for. It's your decision whether to accept the offered price. Nobody can fire you.
that we can recursively send many people to learn to code, effectively, on the same funds
First of all, what he describes has nothing to do with recursion. Second, how does he think he can "send many people to learn to code" for free by somehow "passing along" the funds?
And nobody has been killed by falling out of an airplane either. Hitting the ground at 100+ mph is the problem. And as I said, you are not as good of a driver as you think you are.
I expect what the city wants is something like choosing between these two routes:
1) Proceed one block west to Main and turn right, go two blocks and turn left onto Third
2) Proceed two blocks west to Oak Street and turn right, go two blocks and turn right onto Third.
Think about it; same number of turns, you end up in the same place. But #2 trades driving an extra half block to eliminate the left turn. If I know the streets I often make that choice myself, especially if I know the destination will be another right turn with option 2 versus another left with option 1
Monitoring driving habits doesn't sound all that draconian to me. Things like speed limit, weaving in and out of lanes, panic stops, tailgating, etc. are reasonable factors in deciding how big of a risk a driver is. Some people think they're such skillful drivers that the rules don't apply to them, and they're wrong.
Congress was gridlocked from 2008 through 2014 because Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid refused to compromise. For the first couple of years they thought they could push through whatever legislation they wanted without even inviting the other side to the table. After the Republicans took over the House, Reid stonewalled everything in the Senate; it's not clear if he was protecting Obama from having to sign or veto legislation that was a compromise, or whether Obama was too weak to push things through - bu t he end result was the same.
It's common sense to argue that the regulation was meant to protect your "contractors".
That doesn't make sense at all. The point of being an independent contractor (use your own tools, set your own hours, etc) is that you are a business selling business services to another person or company, with all the independence and control that goes along with self-employment.
The argument here is whether the drivers are employees, not whether someone who isn't an employee can get the benefits of being one sometimes and being independent at other times

They could get back into the market faster if they find a Russian partner.

Does anyone doubt that the people who made the $6B estimate are blowing smoke in someone's face?
There's no point in learning R if you don't have a solid background in statistics.

Cooling is done with water, air temperature isn't that important.

Because he was arrested for being a hipster; the iPhone reference adds credibility to the report
20 years of hard labor
First, that should be "labour". Second, you will be put on a low fiber diet for those twenty years, so the labour isn't all that will be hard hard.
The closest public transportation is about 35 miles from my house. So no.
These types of analytics are not going to take real world driving into account,
Why wouldn't they? Risk assessment is all about how you vary from the rest of the population.
And nobody has been killed by falling out of an airplane either. Hitting the ground at 100+ mph is the problem. And as I said, you are not as good of a driver as you think you are.
Yea, only 20 lines of code. Because all the real work is done in the library it calls. Nuff said.

apparently so everyone would think we won by valor rather than by cheating
You have an odd definition of "cheating".

Postgresql and Mongo are eating Oracle's lunch. The only thing stopping customers from switching these days is inertia.
That sounds like it should be illegal.
There's a thing called a manual. When you install software you might consider reading it.
Down at the bottom of the list is "Communications Disorders Sciences and Services" at 2%. Somehow that seems fitting.
Google Photos is a different application than backup sync. More at 11.
