Comment Re:Microsoft Teams sucks (Score -1) 75

With Microsoft 365 for the enterprise, Excel and Outlook can get funky about the clipboard. If you're copying and pasting large sections of a large spreadsheet in Excel, Outlook will spontaneously restart and lock up the clipboard multiple times. Spreadsheet operations that should take an hour are often done in two hours.

Submission + - Writing Google Reviews About Patients is Actually A HIPAA Violation (theverge.com) 1

August Oleman writes: According to The Verge, health providers writing Google reviews about patients with identifiable information is a HIPAA violation:

In the past few years, the phrase 'HIPAA violation' has been thrown around a lot, often incorrectly. People have cited the law, which protects patient health information, as a reason they can’t be asked if they’re vaccinated or get a doctor’s note for an employer.

But asking someone if they’re vaccinated isn’t actually a HIPAA violation. That’s a fine and not-illegal thing for one non-doctor to ask another non-doctor. What is a HIPAA violation is what U. Phillip Igbinadolor, a dentist in North Carolina, did in September 2015, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. After a patient left an anonymous, negative Google review, he logged on and responded with his own post on the Google page, saying that the patient missed scheduled appointments. [...]

In the post, he used the patient’s full name and described, in detail, the specific dental problem he was in for: “excruciating pain” from the lower left quadrant, which resulted in a referral for a root canal.

That’s what a HIPAA violation actually looks like.

On the other hand, what probably *IS* dying is people going to a theater and paying absurd prices for everything, from the tickets to the food and drinks.

I pay $25/month for an AMC A-List subscription and see a movie every week. That's $6.25 per week. I don't get any food or drinks.
