Under the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), PHI that is linked based on the following list of 18 identifiers must be treated with special care:[1]

Names All geographical identifiers smaller than a state, except for the initial three digits of a zip code if, according to the current publicly available data from the Bureau of the Census: the geographic unit formed by combining all zip codes with the same three initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; and the initial three digits of a zip code for all such geographic units containing 20,000 or fewer people is changed to 000 Dates (other than year) directly related to an individual

No,your doctor actually is not allowed to upload your contact information as a patient to Facebook. It is against regulations. Patient information is private, including contact information. If he or she has done so it IS nefarious.

I suggest talking to most recent grads of a program as things change all the time. For example, schools which previously had good placement may hugely expand number of cohorts - and not scale out job-finding resources or company partnerships.

No, it is not a typical ratio. Bootcamps often have cohorts where there are 10 percent or even fewer women. For a bootcamp to have 40 percent ratio is impressive and unusual. Also - remarkable for all women to have a job at graduation. The bootcamp described sounds very unusual and the numbers are so very different from industry standard - that I encourage anyone reading to do their own research.

The summary misses the focus on false metrics that is the core of the complaint, and emphasizes the "hiring 40 people for growth team" part. It sounds like the summary is saying "he thought Snapchat would hire a team around him and they didn't" vs "he pointed out Snapchat's metrics were inaccurate and then they fired him."

I would summarize the complaint as:

Snapchat hired this guy from Facebook. He claims Snapchat falsely represented their growth during the process (two metrics which are redacted turned out to be false.) After he joined, he alerted the VP of finance that some of Snapchat's representations were false, who apparently agreed with some of it and told their VP of Comms to stop representing that to advertisers and some redacted group. He thinks that Snapchat fired him because of this, that they thought he would "blow the whistle" on upcoming IPO. Further, Snapchat continually pressured him to breach his confidentiality agreements with Facebook. After he was fired, Snapchat told people internally and externally that he was incompetent.

In the details, a lot is redacted but it mentions there were specific metrics given to him in the hiring process - that were also given while raising capital in Asia - that were false.

I don't think that's an accurate summary of the complaint.

My two cents is that your skillset is not quite the right match for the companies you are interviewing at, and so it's going to be tougher to find a position. Not impossible but you'll have to interview around a lot more and have a good reference (as you suggest. Basically to get a stretch position you need an "in.") The easiest jobs to get are those where you are essentially doing exactly the same thing you did before, in a similar space. So - a company doing related work, of similar size (less than 15 engineers.) It sounds like you are interviewing at much larger companies than places you have experience as a tech lead at - and it is a different skillset. Large-scale experience IS different. Tech leads at a large company do different kinds of work than a CTO at a startup. A lot of the work is around working with other tech leads, and working with cross-functional leads across the company who have growing teams of their own, managing politics, scaling etc. Figuring out communication structures, reporting up and across and so on. Other on HN could elaborate on this better than I can. To get this kind of job you have to convince the interviewers that you can work well in a huge company as a tech lead even though you haven't done that before. Find ing someone who can vouch for you in that respect (a VC, executive at the company etc) will help you get there. Good luck

I can't, I'm sorry. I could get some media around my story but I am a private person. Plus Uber would probably just discredit me and lie. I wish I didn't have to deal with them over the accident stuff because they fight really dirty.

Uber has enough money and power to be negligent and reckless unfortunately. I was a big Uber user but the way they treated me after an accident (where I was the hurt passenger) was truly terrifying. I thought the whole Uber is "evil" thing was overblown but it is not. Be very, very careful with Uber. They have a lot of resources to fight with, and most people don't have the emotional or financial resources to go to trial with them. They're like a playground bully who gets away with anything because even the teachers can't win against them.

That was my experience too. My guy at Wells Fargo knocked it out of the park. SOFI's service was not great. Slow to respond , often not responding to my direct questions with the info I needed, slow to move through underwriting etc. Oh and terrible rates compared to the banks I talked to. Even their technology was worse, in terms of being able to upload docs and track my loan.

For me, Hillary being let off changed how I view the Snowden affair. Before Hillary was let off without penalty, I thought that exposing or acting carelessly with classified information was a really big deal, that it seriously put American lives at risk - AND that others were doing a good job keeping that information under wraps, so breaches would be meaningful. Now it seems more like a political game. Hillary put us in more danger than Snowden. Punishing snowden is more about keeping info out of eyes of American public (i.e., Hillary's emails still need to be redacted, even though her server was likely hacked and info is almost certainly out there and America's ememies have it.) I hope that Hillary skating will set a precedent that will allow more whistleblowers to come forward to the public with information when needed without being penalized. Perhaps whistleblowers might use the strategy of releasing information 'unintentionally' and then use the Hillary defense.

Sad news. I had a really good experience with Move Loot. It seemed too good to be true - unique and cheap furniture, delivered in the exact window I requested, already perfectly assembled. It sounds like they couldn't make it work and things declined :(

I'm glad Apple has some competition with Android. I made the switch to Android after I got multiple "dud" iPhone 6's which stopped working after a few days.

I have the opposite problem to most people, of having too many friends. And the number is ever-growing. Wherever I go - job, hobby, school - I pick up more friends. It's wonderful in that I am never lonely and I feel very loved. It is difficult though too because I sometimes feel overwhelmed and that I am not able to be a good friend myself. I have so many invitations, emails, texts etc that I can't keep up. I adore the majority of my friends - but it is quite difficult to extricate myself from a few friendships I have that are draining.

I've been thinking recently about why I am this way...and I believe it is down to 1) listening carefully to what people have to say, 2) being happy and calm, it is just my nature, I am quiet but I am always looking for something to laugh about. I like to crack little jokes and I appreciate humor in every situation, 3) being un-judgmental and kind.

Anyway i'm not sure what my point really is, except that you CAN make friends as you get older! It is not all doom and gloom :)
