Those things aren't being done with the EHR data, at least in the real world yet. Those benefits aren't being realised yet (which is far more likely due to regulation of the data rather than EHR uptake). To doctors, an EHR is just a replacement for paper with a clunky, hard to use interface. It's hard to beat the flexibility of paper.
From what I've seen from EHRs and other related software, they're absolute garbage to use. I wouldn't want to use one either.
Why do you say that? Because they already have a large code base that would be too much work to move over? Or superior features in CUDA? This is actually related to some ongoing research for me, be very interested in any insight.
Facebook has been shown to be completely careless with securing your data - this wasn't even a data breach, the functionality to get all the data was a part of their API. Apple on the other hand has been very publically proactive about protecting your data.
I feel like this is more a reaction to the complete lack of responsibility Facebook had for keeping your data secure rather than the collection of data in the first place.
1) It has been like this for 10 years and it has been documented in plain sight. Also in this time frame user data has been progressively better protected. Data is better protected on Facebook now than it has even been. So why this outcry in 2018?
2) How does Apple protect 3rd party apps from collecting data? iOS apps even has the option of tracking your location - something that FB apps never had as far as I recall.
1) The perspective of "I have nothing to hide, I have no issue sharing all my data with FaceBook" has been very prevalent for a long time, as the consequences of that happening on a large scale are not obvious at a glance. It's a nuanced topic with too many variables. It takes a large enough event that can be (correctly or not) attributed to this in order to gain peoples attention. Foreign adversary potentially using this information and tooling to influence domestic elections is a large enough event to result in that coming to the public eye.
2) Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp all have "Always" permissions options for Location Services on iOS. Instagram has "While using" or "Never" only. Wouldn't expect this to be substantially different on Android.
1) It's irrational. Facebook as an advertising platform is likely much more effective than what you will gain by crunching the limited data collected through apps. Googles advertising platform has other data points than Facebook but is equally potent in targeted marketing. However the biggest irrational hypocrisy in this shitstorm is that TV ads has always been known to be very effective in influencing elections yet no one has tweeted #deletetv.
2) Since Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp are all 3rd party apps on Apple's platform, you just proved my point. Though I'm not sure you intented to?
You have to explicitly grant location permissions for every app individually, plus the iPhone warns you if an app is using your location in the background, plus gives you the option to only give the app your location while it's open.
So exactly like with Facebook apps, where you also grant permission for every app individually and have granular control over which data if any at all can be shared?
The feature where your iPhone is notifying which app is using your location is a recent feature in iOS. Remember than the current criticism of Facebook is related to how Facebook was doing things years ago. So we should also compare with early versions of iOS to be fair.
Not sure what world you live in, but the vast majority of new people interested in Bitcoin are interested because they want to make money, not because they believe in the technology. They want to buy in, see it go up 500%, and cash out.
They're not motivated by the actions of the central banks, they likely have no idea what the central banks do. They see "Bitcoin increases 100% in a day!" on the news or on a website and want in on that sweet money making. Coinbase makes it so easy, they have to do absolutely minimal research, don't even have to wait for transactions to be confirmed.
You think its lack of faith in the current banking system and belief in the new tech that's driving the price up as high as it is now, when it's mostly greed and ease of access. Taking that into account it's naive to not believe there is a Bitcoin bubble.
Who are you to speak for all the people buying bitcoin? Of the people I know buying, many do so because they believe in the tech and disagree with modern monetary policy.
That might have been true few years back. Now people buy Bitcoin because they see headlines on Fox News and whatnot about "Bitcoin reaches new all-time high of $ XXXXX" nearly daily. I know it's a bubble when my totally non-tech relatives (the same people plagued by Ask bars) keep asking me where is the best place to buy Bitcoins or to find/recover their lost wallet.
I own some cryptocurrencies, but to be fair most people, in the world -- I think it's very fair to assume -- don't know what these are or how they work.
Do you really think the majority of purchases (as in tranfers from fiats to BTC or another) are done so with intent to pursue political and economic advancement? I mean, is it theoretically possible? Perhaps -- but do you truly believe that the majority even understand the technology at a cursory level?
Man, that's awful to hear, I'm sorry you're in that position.
If you haven't gone to see any doctor at all (and presuming one visit won't bankrupt you), you really should. They don't have to perform any procedure or examination you don't want them to and they're very understanding of people's phobias.
If you have gone and you know for sure you need a colonoscopy then yeah, I'm not sure what to say. It's an awful situation to be in choosing between debt and healthcare. I hope things work out for you and you can get some help.
