No, being predisposed to something doesn't mean you're incapable of controlling yourself. Restrictions shouldn't be imposed unless the individual is found to be irresponsible.

This would be another disincentive to seek medical assistance. People would avoid any type of genetic testing even if it was vital for a diagnosis.

It's like the situation with pain. Say you're in excruciating pain due to a chronic condition and you go to the ER for help. You have a pretty good chance of being labelled a drug seeker as a punishment for seeking help. Once you get that label in your medical records, kiss any hope of ever getting the help you need goodbye.

There's a similar problem with the duty to report instances of suicidal behavior. Say you have an incurable disease that's seriously impacting your quality of life. One thing they'll always ask when you visit the doctor is if you've had any suicidal thoughts. If you answer yes, you're permanently a person with a history of mental illness. There's no coming back from it. That label can be used to deny your rights whenever the government feels like it.

People with epilepsy are on the honor system. It's possible for them to have a license and it would be up to them to report to the DMV if they had any recent seizures that would disqualify them from driving. It's pointless. Who would report themselves to the DMV? It should be up to the licensed operator to be an adult and not drive if they feel unfit. Nearly even prescription medication has a warning to take care when operating machinery, it'd be impossible for DMVs to police that, it's up to the individuals themselves. Why should sleep apnea be any different?

The doctor that would have reported him is likely the same doctor that the DMV expects to provide a statement as to whether or not the individual is fit to drive. Why bother reporting it to the DMV unless the individual isn't fit to drive?

This is similar to people with epilepsy. Part of that is reporting if you've had an seizures recently, which is basically up to the individual to self report. Who would actually do that? If someone felt they weren't safe to drive, they'd take it upon themselves to not drive. Why would they bother to report it to the DMV? Same thing with sleep apnea, who would actually tell the DMV that they had a momentary lapse of wakefulness?

It's not a taxi service because you can't hail an uber from the curb, you have to use an app.

That might have been the beginning, but now their automation is demonetizing things for no good reason. People posting videos have to be extremely cautious of what words they use or if there's anything vaguely violent or adult going on, even if they're just reporting on something. It's pretty bad. So now you get ads in the their videos that aren't part of Youtube's monetization, which is hilarious because it proves that advertisers are actually willing to run their ads on that content. People that pay for Youtube have a worse experience for it, they don't see the monetization ads, but they do see the creator's ads. They're not getting the ad-free experience that they're paying for. I expect that Youtube will crack down on creator ads soon.

Weird how residential streets that don't allow heavy trucks still get potholes.

NBC does the same thing with the Tour de France. Gets worse every year. The announcers are often wrong, tons of scripted dramatic videos of the riders and teams, helicopters that forget there's a race on and go sight-seeing, even a stupid "3d" table thing that they use to somehow show what techniques the riders are using in the pack, which is just pointless. And the commercials, it's nearly all commercials. Just shut up and show us the competition. I might even pay for that, so long as there's a guarantee that there's no ads and nothing that isn't competition coverage.

Vital services for healthcare should be using private networks, not the public Internet. WTF.

The Free State Project is far, far less popular that BASIC ever was. You're lucky if there are tens of techies moving here. We don't need newcomers coming to the state and then whining about it. Stay home, fix your own damn state.

Black box isn't the right example. The Malaysia Airlines jet that went missing is a better example. The Rolls Royce engines were sending diagnostic information back to the manufacturer, in which case the manufacturer is asserting ownership of the data. But they probably also "lease" the engines rather than selling them outright. This is what will likely happen with autonomous vehicles.

Not exactly a secret. They've been pushing "our brands" on the homepage for at least a couple of months now. They have their own brand recommendations listed in a separate grouping from the "normal" recommendations.

Something tells me there's more to that story. A cop isn't going to waste time arresting someone for not having an inspection sticker.

Google Translate does the same thing.

Sounds like a loan to me.

By the government, you mean the taxpayers. More than half of my property taxes go to the public school system.
