That doesn't really help. HIPAA covers anything personally identifiable while held by a covered entity. Their only cover is the LE exception. Just think: If I "only" steal names and address from the psych ward, that's

Khan was from Biden. Purged like everyone else. Trump was just shaking them down. He was never going to actually fight money.

Don't forget Bork! Rehnquist was ready for the message, but Bork wrote the book and made the argument. Regan really is the beginning of all of this.

Just ask Alberta how easy it is to blow a resource trust fund under voters who start to believe they're rich because they're better people.

My wife uses tabs on a google sheet for packing lists. Different destinations and trips have different needs. But starting with history, and editing is much more reliable. Then a post-review for things not used, things missed, etc.

It is too hard to take the vote away from this entrenched voting block despite their decaying mental state. So we're going to make sure we only disenfranchise another group that has less power.

We also have similar for age-related decline. My dad is facing vascular dementia at 90. If the senile and the crazy can vote, why not 16-year-olds?

In the original relational papers, column names were basically types. In a OO world, that doesn't make sense, but in a relational world, it does.

I think HIPAA always had a carve-out for LE. Trump is lawless, but this might not be. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44606965

This sounded like a straight-forward HIPAA violation, but I checked. There's a carve out for LE. You can see the bones of a stronger limit during drafting (as "required" by warrants), but then weakened to allow mere "a

Apple keychain lets you store TOTP secrets, and Google Auth will let you export the seeds. That turns the laptop + fingerprint into your extra factors.

You make assumptions contradicted by reality. The sleazy (edited - shouldn't call this standard) playbook for old oil wells is for the operators to sell them to a shadier operator company and transfer the risk. The shady firm then sip

Bankrupt companies leave no assets. Same problem as wildcat oil wells. So now what? Do you try to make every company in the world with a sat to post a damages bond? Held by who? The UN? Adjudicated by which courts? This is naive. Colle

I think it's cool that France and Germany don't consider resisting arrest to be criminal. How can you blame someone for pulling away when grabbed?

The free market is famously unable to solve problems of diffuse risk and responsibility: air pollution, sea piracy, and in this case -- satellite collision avoidance.

No. The source being that Cheney and Rumsfeld had form going back to the 70's with Team B. And just like Iraq, they didn't like the story coming out of the CIA that the USSR was a decrepit aging empire that was struggling to main

by michael1999 1y ago
That's completely backwards. The CIA was very clear that there was nothing there, and the publicly appointed leadership (Rumsfeld, Feith, Cheney, etc) badgered them until they gave in and made some wishy-washy statement that Powell cou

It's incremental, and goes back to things like clocks. Imagine a witness says "I saw him go into the bank at 11:20. I know the time because I looked up at the clock tower, and it said 11:20". Defence argues "The clock m

The problem with running stop signs and red lights is that all the real risk falls on other people. Your likely fine for making a no-look right on red over a kid in a crosswalk is maybe $500. And there isn't really a tort for killing

Then cities should adopt the yield signs that say that. I agree our system could be much smarter. So may timer-driven systems would be better if the computer knew the presence and number of cars, pedestrians, bikes, etc. I could support t

This post is about ticketing people who run stop signs. Is that the kind of price you consider too high?

I think you are missing some context. They were using Anna's Archive! They paid for nothing, downloaded in violation of copyright, and processed it. They violated US copyright law even before they actually ingested it!

Cheney and Rumsfeld had a history of paranoid fantasies going back to their Team B fake "missile gap" work in the 70s. Both of them knew how to work the DC machine, but neither of them were ever bothered by little things like &quo

Recent history tells that once one moron US president decides to start an illegal war, both parties are happy to continue it for a couple of decades.

Oh. I was completely wrong. So you need another column to store the source TZ? That's terrible! I was assuming it worked like Oracle.
