Or maybe maybe I have deeper knowledge of intricacies & current state of healthcare data. Even the expert from Wellcome Trust thinks its “overly-critical”.

LOL I actually don't use differential privacy at all! My software implements legal requirements as stated by the agency providing the data. Which are equivalent to a stronger version of K-Anonymity. I am not at all against Policy Resea

You are absolutely correct. That's why the term used is de-identified. Here is more information about the dataset, they themselves are aware of it. https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/tech_assist/tutorials.jsp In fact on

Again you are unaware of extremely common business practices such as a BAA agreement. E.g. when a hospital contracts an outsourced lab all it needs is just another BAA agreement that governs sharing and use of the data. http://se

Concerns about de-anonymization are NOT AT ALL relevant in cases where patient level data is shared. Since its common knowledge that this data is ripe for misuse and abuse. As a result government agencies have developed a set of legal requi

De-anonymization has NOTHING to do with the current scenario. When legal contracts are in place, they dictate the rquirements & restriction on using the data. Today you can go and purchase de-identified but NOT de-anonymized data from U

If EU data protection rules apply then why aren't the authors marching to doors of EU Privacy Commisioner demnding to prosecute Google? The reality is that what is Deep Mind did is routine and commonplave, and that's why no one ot

Frankly these post-docs are engaging in outright witchhunt against DeepMind driven by nothing but pure political agenda. The amount of data obtained is frankly tiny compared to that available regularly to researchers in USA. E.g. as part of

I completely agree. Parse at least was not too different from a vanilla Mongo setup. Firebase on the otherhand looks brutal to move/switch away from.

There is no such thing as intrinsic value. There is price and price ($16B) is determined by the market. Talking about PE and multiples is pointless for tech companies where synergies and rapid adoption/changes are common.

I am not saying that at all, in fact having grown up in a country with predominantly private school system, it always amazes me how the land of capitalism ended up with essentially socialist system for education.

Don't get me wrong, I am not denying that CQRS/stream processing style approach is not useful for any application. Rather it is unsuitable for this particular problem. In my experience all these features sound nice on paper. But y
