Digital dollar is not a leftist idea.

I agree. People are trapped in their paradigms. When the iPhone was announced, a lot of people recoiled at the idea of a touch screen only phone. Why? Because most touch screens prior to 2007 were terrible. People remember poking at ATM screens with bad accuracy, or pressing hard with a stylus on cash register signature pads that were not sensitive.

People are resistant to the idea of VR because they remember either Google Cardboard or large heavy arcade headsets. They can't imagine light thin hardware like BigScreen Beyond.

You have to first be convicted in court for those laws to apply.

The “Son of Sam” law prevents you from profiting off of stories about your crime.

No to both. Mastodon actually has some extra features that twitter doesn't, and is pretty full-featured. Meanwhile, Twitter is breaking in some serious ways, all third party apps are broken and 2FA was broken for a while as well as outages.

So your complaint is that the MVA is hard to work with. Thatâ(TM)s nothing new.

They donâ(TM)t have to disclose anything. Under existing law, anyone can contact the MVA and report someone as an unsafe driver. Did you have a seizure while in Delaware but refuse to stop driving? Your neighbor can report you anonymously. The MVA is under no obligation to name the accuser, same as in child abuse cases. If youâ(TM)d feel otherwise, take it to court. F

>Cite that the mechanism is similar to narolepsy.

Go to your local medical school library and check out "Robbins Pathology" used by most schools in the US. I'd give you the page number if you need.

You cited the wrong link, you want this one: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/driv...

You still fundamentally misunderstand that severe sleep apnea is not the same as not getting enough sleep. Again, read Robbins Pathology. If you have a problem with this, ask your doctor for a better explanation, as you are not my patient.

Thatâ(TM)s not how bipolar disorder works, and hence thatâ(TM)s not reportable. Try again.

Thatâ(TM)s not how HIPAA works. Iâ(TM)m a mandated reporter of child and elder abuse; if I see it in the clinic I am legally obliged to report it or risk losing my license. The person making the report is not usually disclosed to anyone outside the agency.

False. Severe sleep apnea is similar to narcolepsy, which is a genuine risk when driving. Itâ(TM)s a valid reason for the government to assess driving safely.

What a dumb take. Certain medical conditions have ALWAYS been reportable to the government. Testing positive for Ebola, people with gunshot wounds, airline pilots with seizures, young children with evidence of sexual abuse, to name a few. These are the exceptions to patient privacy laws, because they pose a risk to themselves or others that is far greater than catching a cold. Don't be hyperbolic.

If you read further down, "While Maryland law does not provide for the mandatory reporting by a physician of a person who has been treated for epilepsy, it does provide for the discretionary reporting to the Motor Vehicle Administration of persons who have “disorders characterized by lapses of consciousness.” MD. CODE ANN., Transportation 16-119 (2020)."

By law the responsibility for reporting seizures is on the driver, not the doctor, i.e. the DRIVER is the one who is prosecuted if they have a second seizure behind the wheel. Doctors CAN report it but are not legally obligated to or punished for failing to do so.

There's a big difference between rights and privileges. You have a right to be able to travel between states, but you do not have a right to operate a motor vehicle without training and basic health certification. Driving a car is a privilege otherwise you have a right to be a legal passenger through many means of conveyance.

HIPAA has exceptions for public health (e.g. if someone tests positive for Ebola, the health department is notified), law enforcement (e.g. gunshot wounds, child abuse) and serious threats to health and safety (e.g. patient has homicidal delusions, patient has seizures and refuses to stop driving, or has untreated severe OSA or narcolepsy and has a job driving tanker trucks).

Certain diseases like seizures, are reportable to the DMV (and FAA). Because being a driver or a pilot is a responsibility not just to yourself but to others. If you have a seizure you are not allowed to drive a car for at least a year, due to the risk of having another one if not properly medically managed. Severe OSA if left untreated can cause someone to nod off at the wheel, it's like narcolepsy. So there IS a justification in this instance.

HIPAA allows exceptions like when states require reporting of some diseases to the government, like Ebola or child abuse or OSA.
