With how much disregard for laws that Uber has shown, I'm not sure I'd trust Uber to actually be HIPAA compliant or to be committed to privacy.

> Personal docs don’t sync page progress

Hmm, I never considered that because I mostly just send-to-kindle-by-email and then read those docs from only one kindle device. How many devices do you read on?

Since Beijing [was] a sister city of Prague, this got me interested and discovered that Dallas is a sister city of Taipei, Taiwan. Hmm

Near the end he talks about mathematicians with published papers that say "you shouldn't believe any of my papers, they're just telling stories" and don't care if their theories are wrong. Wow

A fund? To what, pay the IRS to target specific individuals? After the IRS targeting controversy [0], I would highly doubt the IRS would accept that money.

I was hoping there would be a section/mention on data privacy, but a CTRL+F revealed no mention of the word.

I'd recommend "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt" for more substance

> Is he really a Doctor??? He doesn't know there's a Mastoid bone there that the "bending" (aka: Adjusting) the optician is doing is to AVOID putting pressure on that bone!?

I think that's a little harsh. I took it to mean he realized he had no idea how to properly bend it, and pointed out an optician is the expert here.

Are WeWork offices 24/7? I thought they were only open certain times of the day.

I've been to a location and it seemed more like <6. Maybe <12 if they run shifts. (I could be very wrong). The other 13 would be at the HQ, doing coding or marketing or something

Wow, from that article:

> In the UK, in 2009, it was revealed that the Department for Transport had previously discouraged green waves as they reduced fuel usage, and thus less revenue was raised from fuel taxes.

Ugh...

I'm sorry, but this is very naive about security, and cryptography, and blockchains. Allow me to quote some experts:

[0] > "Crypto is fundamentally unsafe. People hear that crypto is strong and confuse that with safe. Crypto can indeed be very strong but it’s extremely unsafe" -- Nate Lawson (Root Labs)

[1] > "We don't even really know how to build secure systems out of secure parts, let alone out of parts and processes that we can't trust" - Bruce Schneier

[2] > "If you think cryptography is the answer to your problem, then you don't know what your problem is" - Dr. Peter G. Neumann

> If technology proves to be viable, a 2,200-km trip from Wuhan to Guangzhou could be reduced to around two hours

Driving, this is only 984km. Shouldn't it be one hour?

I was trying to be more diplomatic, but I totally agree :-)

Could you break this down for me? As a small-time investor, how much am I getting screwed when I use say, Robinhood?

This title is a clever way of avoiding the stereotypical "Top X books for Y" that always seem to be an affiliate-mill article (anecdotally).

I worked in tech consulting, and my colleague actually had a very thin ~23" (IIRC) portable LCD screen he somehow carried with him on planes. It had a foldable kickstand so he could set up a dual-screen on any hotseat desk in seconds. It was brilliant, and I briefly considered the same, but my backpack was already heavy enough. I've heard of folks doing this with the MBP + a iPad Pro, but idk how well that works.

> While data in the cloud is heavily secured, data on the way to the cloud is not.

This article is nonsense and completely pretends that TLS does not exist.

This article doesn't contain the word "insurance" once. As mortgages require home insurance, why do the banks suddenly feel uncomfortable lending to coastal areas? The article does not address this.

Down?

Forgive me, but why is the TreeNotation/jtree library the right place to craft a new "rigorous" mathematics language?

I tried to verify this but couldn't find it. However, I did find that counter-hackers changed Morris' username from RTM to RTFM to get back at him [1], so I'm not sure he used the username 'rms'. Maybe the staffer got mixed up?

> “I think it’s a huge success ... that we were able at all to get police forces into the bunker complex, which is still secured at the highest military level,” Kunz said. “We had to overcome not only real, or analog, protections; we also cracked the digital protections of the data center.”

This sentence is the punchline. I'm guessing they mean they were able to image the disks and capture memory while they were running unencrypted?
