I'm no expert on these systems, but the data that's in the cloud isn't encrypted? I would've assumed that Google can not have access to the data but are giving access to server space to host it, making HIPAA violations f

Are you a researcher? I find it alarming to hear this kind of talk, especially after so many have raised the very serious issues that can arise from this being public. It is not our responsibility to make this public. Your logic is similar

It's not a random hospital - it's your hospital. There are many governmental bodies that are there only to watch Hipaa violations, and if your data is used wrongly you can sue for damages. Google is a private company with no overs

What are your thought on privacy then? Shouldn't my records be my own business?

"google" is made of many individuals. If "google" has your records, you don't know who has access to them - they effectively become "public knowledge" in a way. You can imagine how your medical record coul

Boyhood took 12 years to make, but no one likes it. The Werner Herzog movie where they moved a steam boat over a mountain (Fitzcarraldo) was incredibly difficult, but most people haven't seen it. Difficulty can't be the point - it

Not to be pedantic, but aren't the Studio Ghibli movies painted as well? They use(used?) poster paint for most of their movies (spirited Away, Princess mononoke, etc). This is neat anyhoot!

Even if gerrymandering evens out over long times, on short terms it can let a party have control over an/a few elections and use that to enact changes that will affect the future. Sometimes you don't need 15 years to get something

So you are angry that you can't freely talk about killing n** and Jews or call trans people things they ask you not to call them to by without getting sued for damages? Just to make sure what is the crux of your issue with free speech

Under what circumstances do you believe someone is to be fired from their job? I'm sure you will be able to argue that some forms of speech can fit that bill in some circumstances. Edit: I find it a little funny that all the examples a

Ha - it's a little funny that the biggest issue you can find with using the right name is a guy who was on cereal boxes. It sure seems like it's not that big a deal for you - sure seems like a big deal to them.

What speech is restricted? I have nothing I can't say as long as it's not hateful/diffamatory, and if I do say it I can be sued for damages. What are we referring to?

I disagree and fully believe that no manufacturer would want their cars to be free to run on all roads today, fsd included I'd love to bring it somewhere where it'll fail and sue them for damages, I'm sure I'm not alone

What's the actual expected positive outcome when we get automatic driving cars? Marginal efficiency gains? Possibly - impossible to prove - less deaths cause by cars? What else? Is it worth all this hype, money and brain/manpower?
