  1. Re:People forget about people. on Pirate Activist Shows Politicians What Digital Surveillance Looks Like · · Score: 1

    Rape involves penetration, milking some one against their will (human) would probably constitute sexual assault.

    Not sure what vegans have to do with meta data collection though... unless the bugged the cheese! Vote with your wallet, don't buy from pizza joints with bugs in the cheese!

    Damn, now you have me wondering what cheese made from human milk would taste like...
    If you make cheese made from a (willing) vegan's milk, would it be OK to call it vegan cheese?

    While some ascribe malice to the Tories' actions, it's become very clear to me, particularly during the years of the majority government, that while maliciousness may play a part in some of what they do, a good deal of what they do is just simply incompetent.

    > who pays for a research where they are going to feed birds alcohol?

    Exactly! I want names! Who paid for those two thimbles of rum and a half days work from six finches!

    You are forgetting the hidden costs! Transporting the birds to Passages Malibu (you can't trust them to fly there after a few drinks), rehab and counseling, getting them to meetings, etc.. If you don't take these steps we will have Sarah McLachlan commercials, singing about "Skid Row Finches"... and no one wants that!

    Put aluminum foil in the microwave, would you want to breath those vapors? (BTW, if you do nuke some foil, don't breath the vapors). As to stainless steel foil, I've bought smaller pieces of it many times, it makes great shim stock. Never needed a roll. Now I'm wondering if you could suspend enough powered metal in paint to do the trick... OR would your paint just melt.

  17. Re:Oh, I wouldn't worry about it. on 2015 Could Be the Year of the Hospital Hack · · Score: 1

    EHRs in general are so fucked up that even legitimate users can't figure out what the hell is going on most times.

    I tell you what guys. If you do manage to hack into a bunch of systems, could you gin up some code that allows you to get the information out of all of them and put them in one useable place? Despite millions of dollars and countless lines of code, the vendors have yet to make that happen.

    One of my own medical care providers completed the transition not long ago. I notice someone doing a zoom (reverse pinch) on one of my lab results and realized they were looking at an image of a printed page. At first I thought this was nuts as an image would have to be converted and OCRed to be machine readable. But now, I can see that stealing a bunch of images that you must read by eye or OCR is a lot less useful than nice regexp-able data. "Hey, we stole 300,000 medical files... all TIFFS" does not seem like hacker heaven to me... and that would be assuming they were not some proprietary, encrypted image file type.

    I also noted that they transmit the images via FAX, not plain old internet. When dealing with a pharmacy they seem to actually FAX via POTS, I don't know about the procedure between providers.

    I have to wonder if this is an attempt to make the information portable and shareable while trying to reduce it's attractiveness to outside parties...

  22. Re: Better known as... on A Common Logic To Seeing Cats and the Cosmos · · Score: 1

    I also think they're underestimating cats. But If they're connecting deep learning systems to telescopes (which is not explicitly stated), when a cat is positively identified, perhaps somewhere millions of light-years away and hundreds of thousands of light-years across, I guess we'll be sorry.

    And then all we would need to do to contact extraterrestrial beings is turn our solar system into a giant can opener and broadcast the sound for about ten seconds. This would have the added benefit of allowing our study of the seemingly faster than light response cats tend to exhibit...
