... which is exactly why 99% of privacy laws should focus on government services. Becomes government services combined have all the highly sensitive data you absolutely do NOT want anyone to have, especially not the police, your doctor or other branches of the government. From tax to criminal records, with medical records in between.

And, of course, there, we've chosen to not care. So government social workers constructing databases of homeless with the express purpose to deny them emergency medical care is done at least in Belgium and the Netherlands, maybe elsewhere. And that's just one example.

If child services is involved, we now consider a mother's medical records fair game in divorce proceedings (and how long is it really going to take to drop that requirement too?). If you manage to download your spouse's facebook chats, or outlook, or whatsapp backup, you get to use them in divorce too, by the way (yes, I know about "no fault" divorces, but if they "depend" on someone else already you technically don't owe any alimony since someone else already took that over). Tax records are used to find people for parking tickets. Medical records are monitored live, so people can get arrested instead of cared for in hospitals if they're behind on their taxes. Child services, the front side (e.g. street workers, or the ones that are kind-of sports coaches in the street and do, say, basketball), by the way, are now forced to find "kids" for the police to arrest. NOT specific kids, mind you, when there's been a protest and the police needs kids to arrest, these people have it as their JOB to find kids for that (and yes, I'm sure they do try to find a few that were in the protest first).

To make matters worse, you can look at the organisational structure, which again, no-one seems to realise. The chief of police, who asks these social workers to find kids to arrest, is appointed directly by the major. The major, of course, is an elected official, who is absolutely not neutral. So it's a matter of time until a "Vlaams-Belang" major gets caught making sure it's "brown" kids that get arrested for every protest by replacing the chief of police with a raging lunatic racist. Or worse.

But we're worried that Apple might pass pictures that you're essentially carrying in your pocket to the police? I don't understand people ...

These days it actually makes sense to ask your doctor NOT to keep a medical file on you, which is a right you still have in Belgium. If you do get in trouble, you're FAR better off without one. You don't get to refuse to unlock your phone anyway in Belgium, so what's the point of having the pictures on your phone behind a lockscreen?
> Doing an investigation to find "the real truth", which from what I gather in most threads here would be essentially "where did it come from and why was it the Wuhan lab that intentionally released it?", wouldn't really get us anywhere.

We shouldn't be conflating the result from a professional investigation with the prevalent popular opinion.

> I also believe that there's nothing we can do to stop another similar event by knowing where it came from.

Your viewpoint kind of hinges on this point and you haven't really supported it yet besides making the assertion. Why would we gain absolutely nothing from having more information about its origin, with respect to either dealing with current or future COVIDs? That conclusion seems very nonobvious to me.
It's interesting to see people start getting license-conscientious when the GPL family is mentioned, esp. for concern over how to obey the license terms.

The MIT license is one of the most popular licenses for Web developers, but it has license terms, too, and almost no one cares about whether they're following them—in fact many people don't.

Are you following the MIT license terms now? If not, are you going to start?
I just googled reference-based pricing, so forgive me if I'm missing something, but isn't that basically state price controls?

The way I understand it, it can work if the state uses the right metrics to determine prices, but there's a ton of failure modes where prices are set too high or too low.

Wow there are microphones used to detect gunshots in Chicago? I remember seeing such technology in a relatively obscure cyberpunk comic book when I was a kid, but I never thought this would be legal.

The United States and the Mujahideen
"Fresh" African immigrants are quite successful and I believe that Nigerian Americans have the highest share of PhDs of all groups. Selective immigration will do that.

But the fact that they share the same skin color with African-Americans is unlikely to help the latter. Common color does not mean common culture (as any white American traveling around Ukraine or Caucasus Mountains can find out quite easily) and rich and educated Nigerian-Americans live in a different world than descendants of slaves.

Paradoxically, a color-based affirmative action may help the already advantaged fresh immigrants at the cost of reducing the chances of one group it was supposed to help.

The current figures are:

- There are 225.9 hospitalized in severe condition per 100K un-vaccinated above the age of 60.

Vaccines are incredibly effective, you are 10 times as likely to be hospitalized in severe condition if you are above 60 if not vaccinated.
Lake Urmia is enormously salty. Over 20 % of its water is salt.

Can contemporary technology even desalinate such brine efficiently? It is, after all, tailored to normal seawater with its 4 per cent salt content.
I'm a bit dubious that magic stuff like this really makes anything easier. It's like JavaScript's truthiness and type coersion.

Sure, offensiveness is subjective, it is true that there is no "offensive" term that everyone would find problematic. It is up to individuals and institutions to determine what they find acceptable or not on a case by case basis.

A question for you: Is there any term in common use that you would find offensive and want changed? Is there any acceptable standard method by which that change could occur?

Java SerialX API – Improved serializer and parser for DSL languages like JSON
I have decided to create SerialX as java API that can load and save any object to file, output stream, char sequence and others using set of rules (protocols) each designed for a specific object! This rule can noninvasively turn objects into array and push this array into data stream using primitive data format that can be turned back into java objects later! That was an original idea! Now SerialX provides open-source and fully customizable recursive descent parser that can be used to parse any DSL languages such as JSON. The default implementation of this parser can parse some sort of improved Json known as Java universal serial script (JUSS). Even though this JUSS is designed to be as universal as possible and can scale up or down without the necessity of any big modification, you can still easily modify it to meet your own needs in the best way possible!

I know you're being coy to slam on Apple, but this already happens in the uS __without__ Apple's (imo misguided) strategy and it happens frequently.

Prosecution over thumbnails, file hash matches with tenuous connections to individuals, Crime-Tech has given a new position for law enforcement to craft fanciful narratives to support prosecutions of just about anyone. I'm not specifically citing or inferring there have been *targeted* instances of this, but it happens very often towards US citizens already.

Stingrays, Cellebrite, Forensic "science", ShotSpotter, it's absolute chaos and anyone can be a victim here.

My goal here is not anything about Apple and its CSAM strategy, but to make it very clear that the imagined scenario happens now and happens frequently.

Doctors and nurses are just as complicit in holding out for more cash.
In Australia we describe education as something we 'export' because it brings in so much cash from foreigners.

There's a lot of money at play and pissed off students if they don't do well.

Definitely a weird 'business' if you view education as something that's merit based as opposed to bought.

This problem can definitely happen in statically typed languages too. E.g. if you write one data type in one place and read a different type in another place.

You need more than just a statically typed language to prevent it. Either you need something like an ORM or you need some clever hackery like sqlx that interrogates your schema at compile time.

> Early versions of Dart tried to use rational numbers by default, but then it was cancelled because denominator size can grow exponentially.

While I'm generally in favor of rational numbers as a default and believe that its "danger" is no different from that of big integers, there is some truth in this because Guido van Rossum of the Python fame has said the same thing [1]. It seems that you need some adjustments if you are already familiar to languages where rational numbers are not default.

The question is: where is the money going?

The sums are so high we are in macroeconomic territory. There may be a few billionaires with private jets and yachts here and there but this is a detail, we are in the trillions here. It is money that moves around, making the livehood of millions of people, you may be one of them, and it it is not the case, probably one of your friends and relatives.

So what? Are doctors too well paid? Are health institutions inefficient? Are there too many useless medical procedures? Where is the money going where it shouldn't go? Or maybe it is just the price of really good health care.

>> Nothing about "this study applies to this specific situation" is counter to Popper. However, if it fails to replicate in other situations, it tends to suggest at the very least "might be too specific to this situation to have practical application".

Maybe not technically, but it does imply that "this specific situation" should be defined specifically, hence controls. I agree that broad applicability, and replicability are strong indicators of truth value. That said, there are pursuits of rational knowledge outside of Popperian ideals. That's not represented in the way Science, as an institutions works.

That’s 4.8M people. I don’t know what “vast bulk of the money” would mean numerically, but let’s posit that it’s not less than half.

Half of $4T/yr is $2T/yr or over $415K/yr for the average nurse or doctor.

So, either “vast bulk” is well under half, nurses make a ton more than I think, or some assumption above is incorrect.

I came across Turquoise Health (https://www.turquoise.health/) recently, they're one of the early players that have built a search tool to look up the prices hospitals have negotiated with different insurance companies for procedures.

Many people's first thought will be "how does this help patients if they're rarely paying the cash price, their insurance is the one paying". The effects (in theory) will be more indirect than that.

Now that insurance companies can see what prices a hospital has negotiated with other insurances, they'll have hard, transparent data to show that those other insurance providers are getting a better deal, and can negotiate prices down.

This alone won't be the magical solution to healthcare costs to patients, but this level of price transparency will no doubt have a big impact. It's a great first step.

Um sounds worse, (OT:) to add something a simpified (strict stripped) example -hope practicable:

You work at a company. Orders are comming in, wares are placed as 'reserved' till paid, than shipped. With a worker perspective, you check the emails with orders ('the customer whishes'), sending 'bills' and the wares if, or if not been paid - 'you've been paid'. Viewed by the company-manager your position may a) be valid oder come b) 'overvalued' (...)

Stucked in this example, you talked to other 'employeees' during break and 'there was a time meeting on weekends', so you talked about work and there was a (special) kind of 'more transparency' than without peer review. ^^

In my ~20 years of driving I've seen many ICE vehicles catch fire. The first time I remember driving home late one night, had to pull off the road and wait for firefighters to douse an SUV that had caught fire behind the dash and eventually engulfed the whole car. The owner had pulled their golf clubs out of the trunk and was watching it burn.

Anecdotal news articles are not that useful, is there any reports on rates compared between ICE and electric cars?
Requiring a second key to unlock a lock does not invalidate the fact that the first key can be picked (which the question was about).

This. My brother a highly educated health care worker wanted to move back to Canada. The only catch is he was offered $20usd/hr less working in Canada then where he is in Washington.
