DC Metro Transit Alarm

When in Washington DC, this is the must-have application: DC Metro Transit Alarm

As everyone who rides the bus or train knows, the metro schedules are more like guidelines reminding you that the train will come eventually. The DC Metro Transit Alarm for android tells you when the train will actually arrive, so that you aren't waiting around on the platform in the cold.
Also, it is only 150k, and very functional. Very few clicks to use, and you do not have click over and over to get the alarms set.

Incentives in Medicine.

First off, I do not believe in any type of socialism due to the incentive structure. Morals and ethics are not quantifiable, so mathematically, it is completely about incentives. Everyone has a bias, especially if they say that they do not. Now, with my bias out of the way...

Reason has this on medicine:

I know first-hand that this is completely true. My daughter arrives sometime at the end of Q1, and the OGBYN told me that the total cost would be $22k. I responded that I do not have insurance, but I could pay for all services up front. Not including ultrasounds, the total cost was:
$2800 USD
That's not including ultrasounds, that went from $300 under insurance to $125. This means that I get more than 70% off one service, and more than 50% off another.

Another thing is that even if you have health insurance, there's not a reason for a doctor to take it. I say fire all of the government compliance and paper pushers.
