Pizza dough recipe

Adapted from "Roberta's," by Carlo Mirarchi, Brandon Hoy, Chris Parachini and Katherine Wheelock.

By SAM SIFTON

SUMMARY

This recipe, adapted from Roberta’s, the pizza and hipster haute-cuisine utopia in Bushwick, Brooklyn, provides a delicate, extraordinarily flavorful dough that will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. It rewards close attention to weight rather than volume in the matter of the ingredients, and asks for a mixture of finely ground Italian pizza flour (designated “00” on the bags and available in some supermarkets, many specialty groceries and always online) and regular all-purpose flour. As ever with breads, rise time will depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen and refrigerator.

Medicare provider payment data SQL

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) today released a 9m row dataset detailing payment data about doctors and other providers who get paid by Medicare. [Read more about the release.][2]

The data, along with a description PDF, is [here][1], and it's roughly 400MB zipped, 1.3GB unzipped, tab-delimited.

I stashed the tab-delimited [data file itself on S3][3], it's public, you can grab it.

It's not a huge file, so you could load it with the schema I made into a local pgsql instance on your laptop, but it's fun to play around with it on AWS Redshift. To load it in Redshift, start up a cluster, connect to it with psql, execute the schema SQL, and run the following commands:

dev=# copy medicare_physician from 's3://paulsmith/medicare/medicare.txt.gz' credentials 'aws_access_key_id=<YOUR ACCESS KEY>;aws_secret_access_key=<YOUR SECRET KEY>' delimiter '\t' gzip ignoreheader 1;
