I remember countless moronic dramas of high school kids claiming that their MySpace had been "hacked". By which they mean, they'd shared the password with all their friends and acquaintances... and one of their 50 odd fellow schoolmates changed their profile and changed their password.
Surely, though, this should really be a prompt for people to have more intelligent permissions systems for web services. We handle shared bank accounts just fine, so why haven't websites and other online services come up with family accounts, sub-accounts and so on other than as an 'enterprise' feature? Proper security starts at home.
Sub accounts? At home? For the demographic that couldn't handle setting up a MySpace page so people didn't have seizures viewing it?
Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Sounds like that woman had a lot of issues. Hope everything worked out for her.
Slightly different business model. But yes, I'm confused - one would think that you would be able to read the iBook on a MacBook, but they don't say anything about it. And if Apple doesn't specifically mention something, then I assume that you can't do (easily) do it.
So this will finish the outside. That goes up pretty fast. The slow part of a custom home is the plumbing, the wiring, the trim and the painting and finishing. I don't see this as a big game changer.
Both of you are suggesting that the DOJ has the technical chops to understand the argument that the reason Microsoft wants to change the file system is to stifle competition.
Aren't you giving the DOJ just a bit too much credit?
If you pull yet another first post with completely off the wall statements like TechGuy did here and you're NOT Dr. Bob, DC (hi grub, we miss you!), yeah, you are a troll.
The pandemic word is used to create terror. With two patients of the same desease in different continents you have a pandemic.
Oh shut up. Pandemics are real. And potentially very dangerous. Not everything is hype. Take some more happy pills or go over to one of the copyright threads and angst there.
Oh my, and so spins the wheel and we are back at the seven hundredth flamebait thread about whether Apple invents or not... *sigh*
"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again."
Exactly. if you want to be close to nature come to a state like AK where it's blanket white wherever you see and land is cheap so you can own your own bog and have as much nature as you desire. my GF's family own their own bog up near Fairbanks and i just love going up there to spend a week because i can sit on the front porch and enjoy my lunch while watching a herd of caribou graze not 60 feet from my seat. Of course you gotta watch the Polar Bears on the back patio, the grandkids have been fed to them so so long they park their little fat asses on the back patio not 10 feet from you and if you don't throw them a snack they start growling at you "Hey asshole, I'm right here and if you don't feed me some dog food, then you're next. WTF? What's a endangered species gotta do to get some of those calories man?". If its something they really love like a can of Alpo or a steak, they might take it out of your hand and leave the hand alone. Then again, they might not.
Its really beautiful country with miles and miles of unspoiled wilderness you can enjoy, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, or just being hypothermic with a survival suit and sleeping bag on a cold afternoon, its just nice, if your survive that is. It also only stops snowing a couple of days a year and almost never melts except under the houses so its a hell of a lot colder than a New York City hooker. How them folks live in those big cities is just beyond me, hell you have people dressing like it was Halloween pretty much every day of the year.s Right now, there's hardly a soul in site, just the sun barely above the horizon and 60 mph winds. I'll take that over traffic jams any day of the week.
Or, that's where your family is from. Nome started out as a Inupiat settlement, then morphed into a Gold Rush town. Much of the population is Alaska Native and the rest are just basically crazy.
It's an odd life, but makes more sense than living in Cleveland.
You can contact the pharmacy to see if that prescription was valid. You would have to decide if the prescription was appropriate. Just because one doctor prescribes a drug doesn't mean you have to agree. And narcotics are a big minefield since there are so many varied opinions as to what is 'appropriate'.
My point basically is that patient held medical records would not be considered the canonical record. In many cases it would be fine, in some edge cases, not so much. The bigger issue would be knowing how complete / incomplete the record is. Maybe the patient didn't bother getting the chart from one office that had some critical information - that's always an issue no matter where the data comes from, however. Just like in a big programming project, documentation often sucks in the real world.
Quote from my wife's medical record, after we had access to it: "She asks a lot of questions". Thank you asshole. If you provided more answers, maybe she wouldn't have had to ask the same questions over and over now would she ?
Not necessarily a bad, nor a pejorative statement. It means that either your wife doesn't understand what is going on (a bad thing) or she wants to know what is going on (a good thing) and differentiates her from someone who just sits there and stares at you, essentially indifferent (the usual state of affairs). It could likely be better phrased but that's a problem when you are rapidly dictating things.
If I saw that on a chart, it would be a clue that I might have to engage her differently from your typical bump-on-log person.
I cannot think of a system that is less geared toward creating material that an average patient can understand
The only reason that is the case is because medical records have been hidden from their owners for so long. As soon as patients start to expect to be able to use their own medical records the pressure will be on to make those records more comprehensible.
Nope. Too hard. I cannot routinely make a moderately complex medical note comprehensible to any random patient. For one thing, patients vary enormously in their ability to understand things - you might be an engineer who would be interested and could understand a lot of technical detail. You might be functionally illiterate. No possible way to reconcile that.
Now, what people can expect is that if you look at your medical record and don't understand something, they take the time to sit down and explain it in terms that you do understand. But that isn't the point of the actual medical record, nor can it be.

Yeah, and unnecessary. What is the positive here?
Whooo! Who put that movie in my queue?
For the Lulz, of course...
Amazon wants to sell books (and some Kindles).
Apple wants to sell iPads (and some books).

You actually read your textbooks? And you admit that?
I'll bet you even stoop so low as to read instruction manuals.
Yeah, guess what I do...
You get lost a lot?
Not to mention that the product being returned is not electronic.
Wait. Hold on for a second. This could be big.
You could sell these to frequent flyers - they don't have to turn them off during takeoff and landing.
Might fly....
The last Google of stolen credit cards was run by the FBI.
Can't trust anybody any more. That's the last time I ever give my credit card number to an FBI agent.

Nope. RTFA.
Short answer. Very large Enterprise levels Oracle installations with multiple, interconnected databases shouldn't perform backups.
So, no problemo. Business as usual!
