It is a difficult problem, but as a person who spends a significant amount of time reading medical records, I can't tell you how frustrating it is to try to figure out something as simple as the visit date in many printouts. Oddly, the "print date" is usually very prominent -- and irrelevant.

Seriously, WTF? The date should go right at the top, above everything else, or maybe right below name. There are some systems it's even hard to figure out the name of the patient (included as an endnote on page 2 or 3). When you are going through a 100 pages of this stuff, full of duplications and seemingly randomized formatting practices, you can only surmise the programmers were totally brain dead, which when applied to a difficult problem, compounds it exponentially.

Just a quibble, all libertarians are socially liberal. Socially liberal plus a bit of economic socialism is a Green. Socially liberal plus a laissez faire free-market capitalist is a Libertarian.

Google is a third party -- you just go ahead and see if they will actually delete your emails when you ask them. That's totally different than self-hosting and if you don't know that, you don't belong on /.

Secondly, if she wiped the server after she got the subpoena, that's a crime.

The most awesome thing in the world would be for her to be charged under the same law that took Ollie North down because part of the punishment is a permanent ban from all public office.

Yeah -- when GWB was being all neo-conny, Democrats pretended to be so liberal. Then Obama gets into power and is indistinguishable from GWB and Democrats are the epitome of silence.

No, we got what we got due to Obama. He was still touting the public option even after he made a back room deal with the insurance lobby to implement Nixon's health care plan:

Same party. Call the Democrats, call them Republicans -- just doesn't matter.

It's a trap or a diversion to silence the utter disgust liberals have when thinking of HRC.

All you say is true, but you should interweave into that that Clinton's penchant for free trade deals with unequal economies meant the decimation of good paying manufacturing jobs in America in exchange for low pay service jobs. Free trade between comparable economies is totally fine because they are competing on a level playing field -- free trade where the workers think 50 cents/day wage is awesome is a recipe for disaster for most people, and massive profit for a very select few.

Are you trying to say that politicians in the New GOP (AKA Democrats) have more personal integrity than those of the Old GOP (AKA parody of itself)?

We have two versions of a warmonging surveilling wall street suck up -- one that is pro abortion and gay marriage, and one that is not. But they're both fucking Republican parties. There isn't a liberal value upheld in either.

She will raise revenue for more war and more surveillance.

Look at this clip at 13:29 (better with context starting around 11:00) where HRC is cheerleading for the Iraq War. Her ONLY beef w/ GWB was doing tax cuts at the same time -- she openly says she wouldn't and that would leave more money for national and homeland security -- code for random foreign wars and a burgeoning NSA budget:

So yeah, you are totally right. When she gets us into a useless random war for no fucking reason at all, she'll raise taxes. Talk about a reason to vote for her! Yummy! /sarc

Well, it's possible. It was during the Clinton administration that regulation of Credit Default Swaps was deemed unnecessary. We all saw how that worked out.

Why would any Republican be afraid of HRC? She is one in all but name. Iraq War cheerleader, surveillor, wall street's best friend. Seriously, what is there for the GOP to hate policy wise? Yeah, we know they hater her personally, but from a policy perspective, she's the dream GOP candidate.

Ollie North did time for less under paragraph (b): https://www.law.cornell.edu/us...

Of course, even if it was legal to have a home server to intercept all official communications, destroying it while under subpoena is the type of shitty move that can get you 20 years if you do that when the IRS or SEC demands info. It doesn't matter if it was legal to keep the info, once it is demanded, destruction of that info is the crime.

you don't get to throw the rules out the window just because it's on a shared server or it's part of the "cloud"

Actually, at least according to the Supreme Court, they do get to throw out the rules. It's called the Third Party Doctrine.

For too long, application of the third-party records doctrine has permitted absurd results. A person who stores documents and items in a physical space controlled by a third party in the business of renting it out retains a Fourth Amendment interest in those items. But if she stores the same information with an online lockbox in the business of providing on-line document storage services, she loses that Fourth Amendment protection and it is available to law enforcement with a mere subpoena.

Succinct. Eloquent. Perfect.
