It is happening. They do have your info. Sites like Web MD aren't making things up out of thin air...

There is utterly nothing you can do to prevent the american heathcare apparatus from obtaining and sharing your heath data. It will be exchanged between your state agency, care provider and insurers constantly. Your insurer will likely de-identify data in the event of a leak. The other two may not (save regulatory requirements) I have first hand experience here.

Bingo. I'll say the unicorn is the group that can bend hipaa such that customer data can be more easily exchanged between providers. There is already a group making a product that most health insurance companies utilize for this and they dont know it.

Before I left the industry I saw many dropping third party analytics and building their own solutions in need of more m&a dollars from declining membership nationally.

>Search for something generic like "computer" and you can see an example of how hard it is to get information instead of ads.

Panel for computer sales at top. A maps menu showing computer shops near me. A Bestbuy link. Another panel for computer sales. Walmart, amazon, newegg. A wiki. And another sales panel.

Personal : small library of notebooks, I generally dont share these

Professionally : physical notebooks and Onenote books. Every time I join a new team I start a new notebook and when I leave I pass it to someone else if they want it. My Onenote files are publicly accessible to anyone.

Ive been drinking coffee for so long (since age 12 so, 14 years now) that I wonder if its effected my brain development any, if at all.

My team runs a mission critical application nearly all of us were duped into supporting. Ops engineering turned into "process champion" and now I yell at people about ticket structure (bane of my existence) instead of diagnosing db performance issues (things I gleefully lose sleep over.) Now I question my passion for IT daily, fall asleep at lunch and wait for the day I do bad enough to be fired.

MobaXterm's colored terminals have saved my bacon more than once. Great app.

Funny, our company recently turned our wonderfully positioned Platform Engineers into Dev Ops Engineering concerned almost entirely with Chef.

Its a bit like wikipedia, it doesnt look like much initially but going in with purpose shows you just how much more in depth they are. Examine also updates their research regularly, that alone puts them above "any old health site"

I use a DAP for all of my music and purchase most of it via bandcamp. I can barely buy music on iOS but I can (and still do) all of my library management, music purchasing and file management on a One Plus 3T using a usb c to micro sd dongle.

File management is so tricky and app centric on iOS so I dont think this will ever work.

I quite like Fastmail. I switched from Gmail five years ago and have had no complaints.
