No, actually you are mostly incorrect. HIPAA allows law enforcement quite a bit of leeway. Yes, they have to jump through a couple of hoops. No, it's not particularly difficult.
A HIPAA covered entity also may disclose PHI to law enforcement without the individual’s signed HIPAA authorization in certain incidents, including:
To report PHI to a law enforcement official reasonably able to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safetyof an individual or the public.
To report PHIthat the covered entityin good faith believes to be evidence of a crime thatoccurred on the premises of the covered entity To alert law enforcement to the death of the individual when there is a suspicion that death resulted from criminal conduct.
When responding to an off-site medical emergency, as necessary to alert law enforcement to criminal activity.
To report PHI to law enforcement when required by law to do so (such as reporting gunshots or stab wounds).
To comply with a court order or court ordered warrant, a subpoena or summons issued by a judicial officer, or an administrative requestfrom a law enforcement official (the administrative request must include a written statement that the information requested is relevant and material, specific and limited in scope, and de-identified information cannot be used).
To respond to a request for PHI for purposes of identifying or locating a suspect, fugitive,material witness or missing person, but the information must be limitedto basic demographic and health informationabout the person.
To respond to a request for PHI about an adult victim of a crime whenthe victim agrees (or in limited circumstances if the individual is unable to agree). Child abuse or neglect may be reported, without a parent’s agreement, to any law enforcement
Taking different a bit of all languages (from this, the roots; from that, some alphabet chars, from those, some cyrillic chars; from that, some verbal conjugation; from that other language, the sentence structure, etc.) so all people can find something "familiar" in the language just to maximize the popularity..
It's NOT a 'picture' of a fingerprint. It is hash of certain properties pulled off the scanner. Those properties are going to be unique to that type of scanner and possibly each individual unit.
You can't send the info to the FBI so they can place it in the 'pre pedo' data file.
Language matters but matters change. The word 'drone' has been appropriated to mean a whole bunch of things. Just be glad the lead picture wasn't a DJI Phantom.
But this is a *great* idea. Oceanography really is a poor stepchild in funding giving the size, technical challenges and importance to the rest of the biosphere (I'll try to avoid making a Trump joke here. Oops). This gives us a way of 'calibrating' the probes (a better word) while getting useful baseline data.
Guess there really are some smart people doing science. Who knew?
No, actually does work. Sometimes. I can't recall correctly and I'm too lazy to lookIIRC it's about 50% with current 'technology'. People are working madly to figure it out. Something in there is helpful. And that's no shit.
Except that it really is artificial in terms of 'not normally seen in this concentration in anything but highly processed foods'. Which are, for reasonable definitions of the term, artificial.
But, yes, you point out that it can provide energy to bugs. So it's a real fuel source. If you're a bug.
Some of us don't want to hang out with the rest of the rifraf at the lonely publicly accessible power outlet at many (at least US) airports, hotels and whatever.
I suppose it might be good for conversation starters ('hey, nice iPhone'), but I just want to get things done, not embark in some weird Quest For Power.
Likely because NVIDIA hired a bunch of lawyers to work through the issues. As opposed to random Slashdot posters. Now, that doesn't mean that somebody ELSE's lawyers (or your own, should you be so inclined) can't tussle with the hired guns.
But one can say with some assurance that this isn't something that can be dismissed out of hand.
Alcohol is a disinfectant. We've known that forever. In fact, it is theorized that one of the reasons that alcohol use became ubiquitous is because alcohol drinkers lived longer / better in the days of the four humors.
Of course, there is Heinlein's observation that 'Man is not a rational animal, man is a rationalizing animal."
The advice by your lawyers may be good advice, but realize that it is advice that also serves the company that the lawyers are being paid by (the insurance company). It is advice designed to decrease the chance that the terminated employee will start legal action against you, causing your insurance company to spend money on said lawyers and other bits and pieces.
Just depends on how important your view of the truth (that your ex employee was really embezzling) is.

No, no. Your'e suppose to say FUCK ADOBE.
I love the smell of compounding interest in the morning.
Smells like .... Victory!

Or at least pay him more.
Poor guy, he's starving.
Lovely. Chewed up wiring and dead, smelly animals in your car.
What's not to like?
I think he got his local Apple store confused with the University.

So you're off the hook for now.
Look! A squirrel!

Oh, I'd go on about the Slashdot 'editors' but then, they're Slashdot editors.
I'd be surprised if even a tiny fraction of the LA Times readership knew what a DOI was. And anyone who did could do exactly what you did.
Lighten up, Frances.

Murphy was an optimist.

Don't go blaming Firefox that you're stuck on dial up.
Blame Congress instead.

What? Crazy talk.
Makes way more sense to ship garbage half way around the world.
