I doubt IoT will have much impact on financial services but deep learning, AI and block-chains will have impact which can be felt as early as 2017.<br /><br />I think we'll start with robo-advisors for high net worth individuals, thereafter folks will like it so much, the technology will be released for everyone.Christopher Ng Wai Chunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534057160494859977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17478547.post-25961100650644153982016-11-28T15:52:24.238+08:002016-11-28T15:52:24.238+08:00I love the analogy of (shitty) dieting advice comi...I love the analogy of (shitty) dieting advice coming from an obviously unfit trainer. Seeing this too often in gyms. And yes, I dont trust housing/insurance/financial agents in general. These are positions that aren't as well regulated as I wld like them to be and have too much conflicts of interest for me to stomach. With growing scope of IoT and AI, I hope that no one will need to depend on here today (to sweet talk hard sell you) gone tomorrow (because I have your money liao) "services"simplymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09309919454375456952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17478547.post-91741217857684120742016-06-19T11:29:52.617+08:002016-06-19T11:29:52.617+08:00Nice education on this industry of FA.

Are you saying that paying for Class A will lead to more prompt treatment which can be up to a matter of weeks regardless of the severity of the underlying illness ?<br /><br />These are serious allegations on our health system. Are you representing an insurance firm ?Christopher Ng Wai Chunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534057160494859977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17478547.post-83408144883995546372016-06-16T10:06:47.489+08:002016-06-16T10:06:47.489+08:00I think an IHP is relevant if you care about the l...I think an IHP is relevant if you care about the level and promptness of treatment you get. Like you I don't care about the room but:<br /><br />As a subsidized patient, you don't get to choose a doctor, so each appointment can be a different and usually junior doctor. Fine if your problem is minor, but frustrating if you have major or worrying conditions.<br /><br />Private patient in a restructured hospital is a step up, since you can choose a senior doctor, but waiting time may be weeks, depending on where you go. Once again, fine if your problem is minor, but I doubt you want to wait for weeks if you get something major that worsen over time.Gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725184452506424976noreply@blogger.com
