Hmm.

Agree willingness to own up and discuss errors is critical to long term airline safety.

However you only seem to be applying this to pilots and not to Boeing!

Isn't the issue with the MAX, and potentially now earlier episodes, that for perhaps perfectly understandable commercial reasons, Boeing and even the FAA haven't been upfront and honest about engineering issues and how to improve stuff - ie they have been guilty of playing the blame game - on to pilots - who are often conveniently dead.

I just don't understand how Google, as a server and storage provider for any EMR, could use the data themselves for anything. Because HIPAA. Yes, it's possible to anonymize patient data for use in research. But the anonymizing techniques are subject to review by the researcher's Institutional Review Board. They review the purpose of each study, the use of the data, and the ways the study preserves patient confidentiality.

Institutional Review Boards are responsible for ethical scrutiny of research involving human subjects. Informed consent, safety, etc.

As long as HIPAA is intact, I'm not sure any panic about misuse of patient data is justified, by any cloud provider.

That being said, systems like Cerner and EPIC definitely serve the interests of fee-for-service medical providers. Read this article by Atul Gawande. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/11/12/why-doctors-ha...
I used to bookmark pages frequently. I think at one point a few years ago I had more than 15,000 bookmarks in Firefox possibly dating back to 2001 or so (when I used IE!). (Edit: According to a file I have, I had 12,072 bookmarks on Aug. 1, 2015. As I recall this wasn't my peak.)

In practice, I found that by the time I would return to them (often years later), I frequently lost the context and the page went offline. So now I will typically instead paste the URL into an organized series of text file notes on various subjects, sometimes including a short summary of what interested me, a quote, or both. Even if I don't add a short note, I find that the categorization is more specific in the text file than the bookmarks, which helps contextualize the webpage. I'll also often either save the page to my hard drive or save it in Zotero, choosing the latter if I think I might cite it in a paper in the future.

I haven't stopped using bookmarks, but the bookmarks I have now are more ephemeral. I still sometimes fall into my old habits and use some bookmark folders for non-ephemeral things, but I've been getting better about this over the years. If it's in my bookmarks, it's probably not as important as what's in my text files.

A few years back, I did make a concerted effort to transfer as many of my bookmarks to text files as possible as well. I probably deleted over half of them in this process.

According to grep, I have approximately 43,957 URLs saved in my text files...
FWIW, that would be great.

If the link tax ("Leistungsschutzrecht") gets implemented on a European level, I also hope that Google (and all other search engine provider) then just return search results with the maximal allowed word count.
Yeah, I am also quite impressed by how easy you could do it with RapidAPI.

Some unsolicited advice and other things a CEO doesn’t want to hear
Surfing the web is a journey. In the same sense that we store our photos on the cloud and don't want to lose them because they remind us of experiences. The web is no different, we keep exploring and take some souvenirs along the way. Why does everything have to be useful and optimal always? I wouldn't want to rely on Google to keep some nice memories and recall stuff I found useful.
The word "rapid" is doing a lot of work in both yours and GP post. The fact is that a hundred years is a very short amount of time if you really think about it. My grandfather was born in 1913, and if Thoreau had lived a long life–and had been connected to my family–he could have looked at my grandfather's eyes as he held him in his arms.

You're mentioning a specific example, but really think about it. In the span of three, maybe four generations, society has changed abruptly. The invention of trains and cars, the remaking of cities and countries, the internet. Before the industrial revolution, generations of families could live and die in the same place, following the same customs and traditions.

Nowadays, we, influenced by the internet in part, can barely imagine a future because the situation looks so unstable. We don't have the comfort of knowing what even the next decade is going to look like.
I believe this may have occurred recently in a high profile case with Mr. Jefferey Epstein? At least, that is the gist I took away from some discussions on Joe Rogan's podcast about it.
"Apple is intentionally leaving iCloud data insecure" ... if you'd done some research you would know that iCloud backups are not end-to-end encrypted. That means you have a choice: backup to iCloud for the convenience and give up some privacy, or turn off the iCloud backup.

It would be nice if Apple was more forthcoming with that fact but there is some onus on the customer these days to understand what's private and what is not.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

iCloud backups are not on the list of end-to-end encrypted.
Do you strap them to the front or the rear of the fan? Doesn't having them on the front (i.e. where the air blows out) mean that the fan will get dirty since it's sucking the air in?
I felt the same way on a road trip that took me through Dallas and Houston several years ago. Even though I knew they were sprawly and car oriented, I was a bit surprised about the vibe as the cities are old enough to in theory have nice old traditional down-towns. There were some neat spots, but what's seared in my memory are multi-level parking garages and ground-level retail few and far between.

Reading up on it after, apparently the cities built under/overground tunnels between many of the buildings to keep people out of the heat, especially at the height of summer. This sucked life out of the streets.

> Say what you will about space, I don't know how anyone could live in a place as culturally dead as Dallas.

Culturally dead is the wrong word, I think. You don't have millions of people in one place and no culture. The streets lacked vibrancy from what I could gather from two days in each city, making it hard to find it (which is a major problem).

I live in the central area of a major city (Toronto) and I love the fact that I don't own a car and can rent one when I need it. I have shopping/groceries/bars/work/parks/museums all within a 10-15 minute walk from home so I get where you're coming from. When I visited Edmonton, Alberta about a decade ago, my first impressions were very similar until my cousins took me out to all the things they do and I had a good time (still wouldn't want to live there).

I will not be surprised if further reporting points a finger at the influence of China as well.

Apple already conceded to hosting Chinese iCloud data on Chinese servers, and that news came out about 2 years ago... which is also the timeframe reported for this decision to forego end-to-end encryption of iCloud backups.

I'm guessing here, but I think it's safe to assume that China was not going to permit such encryption (for the same reason they insist on hosting the data) and thus to provide it for the U.S., Apple would have had to fork iCloud. Add in the political risk in the U.S. and you have a recipe for "maybe not."

Any sources on that? I have one and I swear by it. They have a glass HEPA filter and a carbon filter.

Then it must need my password to decrypt the key which was used to encrypt the raw data? What if I do not tell them my password, (assuming my password is one way hashed and stored) would that brick the key and in turn brick the data? Clearly I am missing something here..

Edit: or since it is "derived" and not really password which is used for encryption -- the derived thing could well be the hashed password. We are doomed. They might as well serial number their user and use that as key then. Never mind.

You should look into the 'borg' backup tool - it has become the de facto standard for remote backups because it does everything that rsync does (efficient, changes only
backups) but also produces strongly encrypted remote backup sets that only you have a key to ... your cloud provider has no access to the data.

The Freshwater Giants Are Dying
Economist Tom Davidoff proposed a really interesting taxation approach to make property development more elastic to demand [1]. In essence, he proposed that property owners pay property tax calculated on the potential rent they can derive from their property, rather than on the value of the land and buildings, as is more typically the case.

“This is really a way to help renters. For example, under the current situation, if you’re a tech sector worker and you have a good salary but you’re really struggling to find a rental in Vancouver, even with your high salary, you’re thinking: “I’m paying really high income tax and really high rent, but my landlord is paying very little in property tax. If we switched that, I’d be better off.”

So by raising property taxes and lowering income and sales taxes, you could have a more dynamic economy. People recognize that unaffordability is currently hindering the economy, due to how hard it is to draw workers here to Vancouver who can’t be comfortably housed. But lowering income and sales taxes will also bolster the economy, because people will have more money to spend and more incentive to work and do business. It’s this extra incentive due to lower income and sales tax rates that is behind the theoretical result.”

If you extended this concept into the realm of short term rentals, then property taxes on the unit you are able to rent out on AirBnB would be vastly higher than on the unit in a building that prohibits STRs. The market would take care of the rest.

and the McDonald's coffee. Sure its easy to spin a case that awarded millions for spilling hot coffee and victim/lawyer blaming...then come to find out the McDonald's systematically heated their coffee above safety and industry standards, had already been warned, and lid was not fasten properly, and the woman had 3rd degree burns through her jeans on her privates/thighs requiring skin grafts. The "millions" was punitive for McDonald's willfully disregarding prior warnings about their coffee and calculated as 1 day of coffee sales (seems pretty reasonable).

I can't wait until someone sues Amazon and all the documents and communications leak revealing what Amazon executives knew about the counterfeits and how they willfully refused to make changes to curb counterfeits, and rather took actions to facilitate and cover up the source of counterfeits (co-mingling products).

Your "different view" came with the unwritten implication that the actions of a terrible government justify genocide:

You are clearly implying that a being an "extremely bad actor" is enough to justify retaliation against unarmed civilians.
