  • “oh, it’s just my opinion not my responsibility. I didn’t vote for any of this, I don’t live in the US, my unspecified country is a paragon of liberty and has no recent history of oppression of any people, if I were an American I would totally use all my privately owned cannons and guns to overthrow the country and then it would all be a peaceful utopia like the unspecified country that I am totally actually really from legitimately…”








  • I’ve called hospitals to see if someone was there and that’s normal practice.

    If the hospital actually gave you this info without you being authorized to have it, then they broke the law. Happens all the time, but the person identified at the hospital would have a pretty strong lawsuit in this scenario.

    We recently(ish) went through this with my Grandmother-in-law. She was hospitalized, her abusive and estranged daughter called and confirmed that she was in the hospital, and then went over to Grandma’s place and started “taking her inheritance.” IE, stealing grandma’s shit while she was dying. Grandma actually survived her hospital stay, and we sued for a bit of restitution.


  • Yeah, probably. I was on the IT side of things, we had very specific training on what was PII, what wasn’t PII, who that info could be shared with, and had to roleplay example scenarios of what would be a HIPAA violation and what wouldn’t.

    Your example…

    We were told we couldn’t even acknowledge whether or not a person was a patient without permission from the patient.

    How I stated that situation would be covered by HIPAA

    A hospital sharing personally identifiable medical information with an outside party beyond some very strict scenarios, is a violation of HIPAA.

    A healthcare provider, saying to a random caller, “He (Mitch in this case) is at this hospital” would identify a person, and match them to a location, and that would be a breach of HIPAA. That random person going on the news, or sharing that info with other people would NOT be a HIPAA violation.






  • Have the car store its own data. You can fit 500GB on a micro SD card, think of the storage you could fit in an entire car.

    Lower the framrate. 1080p at 60fps, but anything above 30 looks smooth, and you can go all the way down to 12-14 frames and still have pretty good video.

    Run local event detection on the car, and only have it upload small segments of video when it detects certain events.

    Allow a control device to request video that are stored on the car the next time the car checks in.

    I think limiting the data collection in this way would allow full surveillance when desired, but not require a lot of overhead on the network.

    Ultimately, the “limiting factor” for these kinds of systems is the human element. You can only hire so many people to review so much video in a given time period. AI is changing this, but even then, you can only hire so many people to review events flagged by AI in a given time period too.
