I've seen tool and apc in the past couple of years and even though it was officially no phones, there were still a lot of people with phones recording a good majority of the show. It is quite annoying standing behind someone shining a screen into your face. I can understand recording a short video, like capturing the curtain drop. I really just don't even get why you would want to pay to stand there holding your phone the entire time. The video won't be worth watching and no one wants to see your crappy video!
Maybe I'm just weird, but a lot of the time at concerts I just close my eyes because I find the visual stimulation of the entire thing to be too distracting from the music.
Some relatively new music enthusiasts see this as a stupid idea. Personally I think is part of the experience to "disconnect" yourself from the rutine of your daily activities.
For long term storage, that sounds a terrible idea. Do you really want to trust your savings to $20 of electronic components that aren't designed to last more than a few years?
This holds true for nearly all physical activities. Was mountain biking in Whistler a couple weekends ago, and my riding mate broke his collarbone due to riding a trail that was at the edge of his range.
Definitely true. In the US, because fax and phone were carved out in HIPAA as not being ePHI, they have this special protected status that makes it totally cool for providers to fax records around, but sending emails something that risks jail time :/
I wouldn't underestimate the technological barriers to making interoperable health record systems actually useful. There are a lot of different kinds of medical information (SNOMED CT, the best ontology for healthcare, has >1M concepts!), and the best way to structure that information is an unsolved problem. There are lots of different ways out in the wild (complicated by there being lots of half-assed EHRs that were just made to grab incentive money), and the standards that are out there don't really help things (they are so broad that basically every EHR implements their own "flavor" of the standard).
What was the actual process of acquiring your entire medical record? My understanding was that this information can be highly fragmented depending on the number of different places one has received medical treatment.
110% true, and I can give multiple examples of this
1) Fortunately I went to just one provider for all my treatment and they make the entire EMR extract available for patient download through their website (Sutter Health in CA) props to them for doing a great job at this
2) When dealing with issues w/ other family members and friends we've often only been able to get very minimal data extracts and had to actually fax in requests to get the full medical record sent to us on a CD weeks later.
3) Services are now popping up to do that for you, picnichealth, patientbank, etc. and they should be able to get your full detailed record to view for a cost instead of doing it yourself
Actually, if you read that, they aren't government mandated methods (in the technical sense) there's an option of either using a government-specified safe harbor method or getting an "expert determination" that the data is deidentified.
I should have said "there is a government mandated method, but that's not the only way" It's more of a starting point than anything else. Also if you get HIPAA audited you either have to follow the government way (easiest for broke startups) or go the expert way but that is a bit more costly to prove out.
Raced motocross growing up. Those are some of the happiest memories I have from 6 - 17.
College and then city life meant retiring from that hobby but my new guilty pleasure is downhill mountain biking (Whistler is one of the coolest places on the planet) and BMX dirt jumps.
I remember getting a piece of advice to do what made you happy as a kid. It worked ;-)
