Very true. Could be counting 50k IR sensors that count how many items pass on a belt. (Plus maybe a PIR motion sensor in the bathroom )


Many (most) antihypertensives need periodic monitoring for electrolytes or kidney function. In Mexico, they are not going to get sued if you go into renal failure as compared to the US. Partly done for you and partly because of the sorry tort system in the US


Does it have a decent mobile app for alerts?


I don't think so. That is the main reason I'm keeping Blue Iris going.

My wife can use the BI app (even though it uses an outdated UI design). I haven't found any Frigate-based UX that would meet that bar (and that bar is not even particularly high with the BI app).

Would love to know if I'm missing a Frigate UX option that is "family friendly".


I mean alerts can go out to home assistant or any mqtt it looks like, so for assists that seems like the easiest option MQTT or the HA app


Do you have any other info on how to do this? I've looked for this but cannot find how to do


Except it is.

"Tissue is the issue"

I have yet to see any of my radiologists differentiate a lung nodule that was actually a metastasis from the colon (which can easily miss on PET ) from primary adenocarcinoma/small cell/etc. Neither a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor from an adenocarcinoma based on a CT or PET.

I have (and often) see my patients incidentally discover masses on imaging. Perfect example- a pancreatic mass on imaging. Next stop is an anxiety filled few weeks while they wait for their biopsy to be scheduled. You then have an additional radiation exposure as these are CT guided. You hope the radiologist doesn't poke a hole in a nearby vessel, induce pancreatitis just by doing the biopsy itself, nor develop a subsequent infection related to the procedure. They then wait an additional week for pathology to result, often only to see normal pancreatic cells indicating this is a cyst.

All of this is often the result of looking for a seemingly innocent diagnosis. Eg an ultrasound to reassure your patient that their abdominal pain is not their gallbladder.

I had a similar event earlier today with a cervical lymph node seen on an ultrasound. Thyroid nodules, renal masses, lung nodules. How long do you have?


Now imagine that you started getting MRI screening every year. You'll be able to afford to wait to make sure a strange mass doesn't get larger.


What the?


It's a troll. They're performing a hyperbolic caricature to make the targets of their ire look ridiculous. Just ignore them.


The only feasible way I see for removal is via donation or some form of hemodialysis. As the saying goes, the solution for pollution is dilution (or at least in the medical sense!)


Yeahhhh this crap is on every computer in the hospital I'm at (minus the ones on XP of course)


I noticed that nice new bing AI enabled search bar at the bottom will generously help you provide PII to openai now...

It's amazing that this stuff gets added without thought of consequence.


almost like a coincidence


I would assume there's a group policy to disable it


Almost all of it was already disabled on my work computer (...months since I booted Windows...), and most of settings were completely disabled due to group policy.


Just look at GoodRx recently to see how this veiled this threat is


I looked it up just now...

> GoodRx will be prohibited from sharing user health data with applicable third parties for advertising purposes, and has agreed to pay a $1.5 million civil penalty for violating the rule.

Meanwhile, GoodRx's revenue in 2021 was $745 million.


Interesting. So that's like, 0.2% of their gross revenue, about? Meanwhile, if my cursory math isn't screwed up, if your gross annual income is $100,000, 0.2% of your salary is $200.

So basically, they got something roughly akin to a speeding ticket.


But consider that when you get a speeding ticket your car insurance goes up and you often end-up paying far more than just the initial infraction fine. And you can be automatically disqualified from driving entirely once you get enough points on your license.

So if the fine were even remotely as impactful as a speeding-ticket is to a normal person then GoodRX would have just earned 3 penalty points on their business-license, have substantially higher business indemnity insurance costs, and once they hit enough points and caught doing-business-while-impetuous (DWI) again then the state would seize their business and crush it under a tank[1] and those at the wheel would be behind bars.

Somehow I doubt anything remotely close to that will happen to GoodRX and its management when this inevitably happens again.

Don’t forget the black mark on their permanent record!


It would be nice if black marks could be easily seen by consumers. For example by forcing the use of a "BM" (black mark) text next to the "TM" symbol in a company's logo.


“Bowel Movement” seems more appropriate


The part about sharing the data will hurt them though. A part of their income comes from advertising to their users. If they can't do effective targeting anymore, their ad business will lose way more than $1m


Is there an actual penalty for ignoring that restriction though? Or will they just get another slap on the wrist?


Thank you for ambient2mqtt! I have been using that for a bit over a year now to interface with home assistant


That's awesome! I just kinda write stuff that's interesting for me and put it up there on GitHub. Super happy that it helped someone else. Also, super happy that it still works with Home Assistant. I built the MQTT support for Home Assistant, but then work and life got in the way and I ended up not really using Home Assistant.

Thank you very much! You made my day.
