It's all about the quality of the manager. The places with panicky managers fighting fires all the time think highly of themselves for fighting fires, but never ask why they have so many fires. But the rank and file IT worker thinks poorly of managers, so never notices this trend.
Nope. They are not necessarily "medical records" and aren't being used for treatment. Otherwise, if your mother emailed you at work about her goiter, Gmail (your mother's provider) and your work would both be in violation of HIPAA for storing her "medical records".
The IT team already didn't notice 100TB transferred out. I think your assertion of competence is misplaced.
And no, I've worked places where they didn't realize they'd set the 10 server backups to each sequentially re-format the tape and start from the beginning. So only the last server backed up was actaully recoverable. It was that way for 5 years, until they needed a file from #3 when someone finally noticed the error. If they were all appended, they would have fit on one tape, so it wasn't obvious, and always completed with no errors. How often do you think the configuration of backup jobs is checked? In my experience, the answer is "never".
Then "an illusion" is "a thing". With that definition, everything I've said is 100% correct. You are just arguing over the definition of "thing". And most people would assert that one single continuous beam of light is not a collection of (near) infinite different things. There is no "trick" It is not The Prestige (or the Hare and the Hedgehog) where a body double makes a trick where non-movement gets a different thing to the other place first. The single shadow/beam passes over all points on the way to the other side, and is indistinguishable from the initial one because it is the initial one.
The event moves faster than the speed of light, but violates no rules of relativity.
It always amazes me that the wrong post gets modded higher because the wrong person is so certain he's right.
It's done that way because the HIPAA consultants lie. No more. No less.
When I worked in that space, I had COPA and HIPAA printed out and on me at all times. The part of HIPAA that was highlighted was the part noting "this should not be construed to mean encryption is required" Because I never met a HIPAA consultant who didn't insist that encryption is required.
They lie. All of them. The worse they make COPA and HIPAA sound, the more money they make. Consultants are scammers. At least every one of them I ever dealt with on compliance. Just because your company was sold the wrong thing by a scammer doesn't mean that's in any way required by law.
If you aren't in Africa, you can do it to. That's about the only place that doesn't make enough to make it "easily accomplished" by a dedicated person.
Certainly legal. There's nobody who can't hold your medial information. They just require you to provide it and sign a waiver as a condition of employment. Related to insurance, risk or other things.
I used my VM password once. To log into the web interface and configure my VM to forward to email. Never logged in again. I'm supposed to change my outgoing message when I'm on vacation, but I never do. Nobody has complained.
Though my out of office replies to the VM system come back undeliverable. Too bad you can't set out of office to not reply to DoNotReply@example.com.
The car manufacturers are already doing it. Tesla, OnStar and others. Though the ones in use are using closed proprietary call-home functionality, and haven't/won't open it up for the owner to access their own data.
As for the car example, is this the O2 sensor that is in the same car that won't tell me why the service engine light just blinked on and off? And is this the same dealer that keeps telling me to change my oil every 3000 miles even though the car oil sensor doesn't come on until 6000 miles and the manufacturer says to rely on the sensor?
So your argument is that the IoT sucks because dealers lie?
No, there are insurers that will insure anything. The finger of an actor, or anything. Yes, they'll even insure you against business loss. And not just the very common business interruption insurance.
That you are ignorant isn't proof of the opposite.
So if you abolished the limited-liability construct of corporations, you'd have to eliminate the concept of bankruptcy as well? I don't see that as a logical conclusion.
A large government does the corporation's dirty work for them, extraditing Kim Dotcom, seizing property in NZ, holding criminal charges for copyright infringement. Copyright should be a civil, not criminal matter, and was only recently elevated to move the enforcement costs to the government to help reduce costs for the poor content owners. The small government lets the corporations hire Pinkerton Men to commit murder.
What is a "pro-taxer" and why not just call them Nazi Communists or something? You obviously mean it as a derogatory statement, but have a personal definition so that any arguement against it you can trot out a scotsman or similar dismissal of any argument you find inconvenient.
The anarchy-Nazi bastards think that the poor should rot. The only matter of debate is where to put them, since in the loonitarian utopia there is no "public" land, and none of the landowners will let them on it. Dump them all in the ocean? Who pays for cleanup of my beach if your dead bum washes up on it?
No, the scientific definition of "information" in this context has the silent and implied "useful" preceding it. It moves faster than light. And it *is* information, but it doesn't move information faster than the speed of light.
I was hoping anyone who felt informed enough to discuss the point would be informed enough to know the definition of "information".
The catch is that you can't receive or interpret that information FTL. I think what you mean to say is that information from the light source itself cannot propagate FTL, violating relativity.
Obviously. The "thing" that conveys information may travel faster than the speed of light, but the information itself can not propagate faster than the speed of light. And it doesn't.
All that is consistent with everything I've said. You are objecting that someone who is deliberately trying to argue the point can find holes where I assumed basic knowledge of relativity. I can't disagree with that. But I do disagree that your clarification in any way contradicts anything I said.

What, that a crazy in the middle thinks both sides are crazy? Where's the irony in that?
Capitalism works best in a rational market space.
Nah. You just used expensive Legos.
So say the crazies on the far right.
Belo Corp was national and very conservative, until they were acquired. I have no idea what the result of that acquisition had on their leanings.
There are a lot of the smaller ones that are very conservative.
Is there a difference?

That wouldn't matter. If someone is able to re-direct the backups, they could change those settings as well.
Over $2000 each for a pile of target holders. I presume for target practice. Alaskan Troopers. They also got a $460,000 vehicle, not sure what kind.

One failure would mean permanent destitution
So if you abolished the limited-liability construct of corporations, you'd have to eliminate the concept of bankruptcy as well? I don't see that as a logical conclusion.
You can harm a corporation without harming the people that comprise it.
So a corporation has all the rights of a person and none of the responsibilities? Because that's the only logical conclusion of what you assert.
A large government does the corporation's dirty work for them, extraditing Kim Dotcom, seizing property in NZ, holding criminal charges for copyright infringement.
