If he'd hoarded his money he would have been richer than Bezos in inflation adjusted terms. Andrew Carnegie was from Pittsburgh.

Shaggar posted:I think the problem with stadia specifically is just that game streaming isn't all that interesting. if you already have a game library and hardware, you're looking at stadia, xbox streaming, et.al. and you see the same thing you have now but more expensive and with lag. Stadia is for turning gaming into a subscription service from top to bottom. Wanna pop in an older game you enjoy and play it through again? Too bad, pay up

iospace posted:So Google has been asking health care companies for data... and trying to get it without the consent of the patients. This is flat out illegal so I have no idea how they’re doing it. Like, in my role at a health plan I can conceivably look at any PHI necessary to “perform necessary business tasks,” but I’ve got no idea how that could let me sell the data to google and give them a right to look at it. Maybe they could buy deidentified aggregate data but I think even that’s iffy, and wouldn’t be worth anything to them anyway.

Shaggar posted:the clickbait title is largely wrong and Ascension is just using goog for hosting and analytics. its a stupid idea for sure as goog's cloud is the worst, but its not any different from litterrally what you do for a living. Doesn't specify if Google themselves are actually doing something with the data ala Cotiviti's different services, or if they're just hosting it. (I'm a direct health plan employee, which is different than sending it to a contractor.)

Broken Machine posted:in a lot of states, it's legal to buy, or sometimes receive for free, health data directly from the state health department or similar. it's often anonymized to an extent, but it's still often enough to identify specific individuals and groups Anything personally identifiable has to be stripped, though, including poo poo like claim numbers.

mystes posted:How is it dumb? If what they're saying is true, they're basically providing cloud EMR software. They might be lying or downplaying other parts, but it does seem pretty hard to argue with them needing PII if hosting the data is something they've been contracted to do. The group writing the analytics software shouldn't have access to PII regardless of whether Google is hosting the data or not. Even internally PII should always be on a 'least data needed' basis. I do healthcare analytics and I have absolutely no access to anything financial. At my previous job I did financial stuff and had no access to anything personally identifiable and no diagnostic or procedural data.

mystes posted:OK, they should do this and it's dumb that they don't, but Google as a company clearly has a reason to have access to the data and given that they say they are restricting and logging access are they violating HIPAA just by failing to completely isolate the development from the actual PII? The group actually warehousing the data for Ascension and the group writing the analytics process should be treated as completely separate entities is what I'm saying, there just shouldn't be a giant hog slop bucket of claims data that everyone in the company gets to dive into without any governance.

Shifty Pony posted:isn't one of the little secrets of HIPAA that despite having the ability to fine someone into the next planetary system they've never actually done it and instead would much rather issue a small fine with an improvement plan? HIPAA fines max out at $1.5m per class of violation per year. That's, uh, not a lot of money
