There's ~3 hospitals in the USA that have transparent pricing. If you're interested in disrupting healthcare the founder of The Surgery Center of Oklahoma has a blog on pricing transparency.…
The speed is what's impressive. One can build a structure in California for a similar price. It seems people often over estimate the hard costs of construction in the first world. It's cheaper than people think. In…
Instead of spending money on a dev boot camp maybe try going through The Odin Project, and beefing up your github. Then maybe join TreeHouse temporarily just to have them help you find a job.…

Serious question. So what startups would NOT qualify? AirBnB (Hospitality)? SnapTerms (law firm)? Bench.co (accountants)? Opternative (medical office/online eye exams)? Redfin (real estate brokers)? Amazon (retailer)?
How would you parse lists and tables from a website? e.g. parsing an online schedule in order to use the data in a responsive mobile or native app? Random site example: peoplewhodance.net/events/NYE/schedule.html
