Billions of "savings" for Medicare, but the costs will be passed on to private health insurance by paying higher prices to make up for the "savings" that were given to Medicare.

"It was her whole attitude and her whole disposition that disturbed me," the judge said in interviews afterwards.

I wish I could read the transcript of what the 15-year-old girl said. I suspect it was some really disrespectful stuff, which doesn't justify the judge's actions, but does add context to why he did it.

Thank you for the background. For those with the knee-jerk reaction without the full story, this case was based on a whistleblower providing allegations to the FBI.

The whistleblower provided evidence of a contract between the professor and a Chinese university. The FBI investigation collaborated that evidence, including fifteen trips to China in three years. That is why this case was brought to trial.

He was not exonerated on the false statements charge. Instead, the appeals court found it was immaterial by a 2-1 decision.

This professor got a doctorate from Princeton and did a postdoc at Berkeley. He knew the rules for working on NSF and DOE grants. He didn't deserve all the happened to him, but he did lie and cover-up his connections with a Chinese university.

As noted in the article: crime is down with 72% of the law enforcement agencies reporting. No mention of which agencies have not reported yet (Chicago, Baltimore, other inner city high-crime areas?)

From the FBI, the actual numbers will not be released: "The number of incidents will be publicly released when 80 percent participation levels are met."

This feels like a heavily biased article in an election year.

It seems there is a lot of overlap in the Mulesoft and Tableau Prep data integration tools that Salesforce already owns.

I wonder if there is more overlap with the Salesforce data quality, data catalog (metadata) and data governance tools?
