Why and how? I'm quite familiar with gdpr, btw -- and I don't see how being able to look up a uuid or some other nonsequential identifier via a site to find the owner obviously violates it. There's a strong legitimate intere

If you look at Theranos, the major funding sources were not traditional vcs. Total investment: $724m, approx. Waltons: $150m, Rupert Murdoch: $121m, Cox family: $100m, DeVos family: $100m, Carlos Slim: $30m, etc. I count at least $559m

> Problems from the early 2000s that don't exist in the same capacity anymore. Nonsense. I've cleaned malware off of employee laptops within the last 2 years. And off family members' computers within the last 3 months.

Flu vaccines are hit and miss each year, and (cdc) only reduce risk by 40-60%. So it's a pretty comparable risk, and we're being given natural experiments like Texas and Florida to really test that hypothesis. I dunno what the ri

Per the cdc [1], the US has 250 deaths from covid ages 0-4 and an additional 573 ages 5-18. Compare [2] to an estimated 216 deaths ages 0-4 and an additional 156 ages 5-17 from the flu in 2018-2019. Those aren't perfectly comparable --

GDPR very explicitly applies; see eg ICO (the UK DPA) guidance, or this: https://www.dickinson-wright.com/news-alerts/the-gdpr-covers... As I mentioned above, CA privacy laws exclude this information.
