You keep dropping links for me to chase instead of just reading between the lines. Police cannot issue their own subpoenas. Police are not judicial officers. However, they are getting judicial officers to write their subpoenas. A judicial officer does not have to be a judge, therefore the standard is lower than a warrant.
I don't think you read the article or the links you provided. It clearly states the police are obtaining this information through subpoena and not warrants:
In briefings, officials with America’s eight biggest pharmacy giants — Walgreens Boots Alliance, CVS, Walmart, Rite Aid, Kroger, Cigna, Optum Rx and Amazon Pharmacy — told congressional investigators that they required only a subpoena, not a warrant, to share the records.
And in the link you provided:
When might it be permitted for a pharmacy to disclose PHI to law enforcement officers?
Bearing in mind that, once in a designated record set, PHI could be an individual´s name or physical description, a pharmacy (or pharmacy staff) is permitted to – but not required to – disclose PHI to law enforcement officers in the following six circumstances:
as required by law (including court orders, court-ordered warrants, subpoenas) and administrative requests
In this case, the leeway in the standard here is what the pharmacy chooses to comply with. They are choosing to comply with subpoenas. This article points out how that standard could be higher (warrants).
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, regulates how health information is used and exchanged among “covered entities” such as hospitals and doctor’s offices. But the law gives pharmacies leeway as to what legal standard they require before disclosing medical records to law enforcement.
Having read Work Rules! by Laszlo Bock, It does not seem that strange to me...
The Google culture and leadership, right or wrong, hold on to the belief that the spaces they cultivate, do more than just enhance productivity. For example, they believe that (regardless of how rare it may be) their spaces create opportunities for teams to bump into each other and build solutions/products out of that.
If you cure cancer, that's a gift that keeps on giving. Imagine knowing day-in and day-out your work was all worth it and you continually save N lives YoY.
I would add Education to the forefront of accountability. Police officer careers require no more education than a high school diploma/GED and the police academy, which is roughly 27 weeks. Imagine if being a police officer meant having a deep understanding of ethics, psychology (not just tactics) and law.
Stop accepting any physically fit hothead off the street because they can be trained into the role. Lastly, as a citizen, be willing to pay more in taxes knowing that the person who pulled you over cares, is qualified, and will not shoot you and try to cover it up.
I agree with this mostly. However, the data coming from MoviePass may be flawed. I'm much more likely to see a movie I would never normally pay to see with a MoviePass subscription.
Sapiens opened my eyes to social constructs and human behavior and forced me to think about the vast timeline of humanity and how small our time is within it. Personally it provoked a re-visit to the philosophical questioning of life.
Bluetooth 4.0 maxes out at around 25Mbps. Bluetooth 5.0 is supposed to double that speed. As far as latency, that should depend on how far away the devices are from each other and how quick the movement is from device to device. You would encounter the same issues with wifi, but 802.11 ac allows for 500Mbps for a single link and up to 1Gbps for multiple links.
Major overreaction on this thread. Companies often incentives their employees to create patents. Often patents are use for protection purposes even if they never make it into the companies tech.
For Example: Company X sues Apple stating they infringe on a patent. Apple turns around and throws 10 patents back that infringe on their tech.
