>>Can these 22% be identified based on some criteria?
Usually the preferred approach in cases like this is to trial the medication and revert back to the prior treatment plan if symptoms worsen. Obviously, this is only viable if the worst-case negative outcome is temporary, easily reversible, and not life threatening.
Michael Moore did something very close to this in the mid-90s for his briefly-lived TV Nation. Parked a series of cars in front of the home of a car alarm company CEO and set them off.
What about food addicts? It’s well understood that drive negative health outcomes and costs and are under the control of anyone with a decent income. Want ozempic to treat your diabetes? Submit your grocery store purchase history for analysis.
>The Secret Service told 404 Media in an email last week it is no longer using the tool.
Given that parsing non-denial-denials is journalism 101, I wonder at 404’s studious incuriosity about the Secret Service statement. Here are some questions I would ask the Secret Service on the record if this was my story.
1. Does the Secret Service use other tools, partners or methods to collect location data on Americans without establishing probable cause and obtaining a warrant?
2. Does the secret service collect the location data of all Americans, or does it target certain groups in particular? If the latter, how does the service decide who to target?
3. What other crimes become non-crimes if the private company hired to commit them gets the victim to check a box labeled “I agree to the terms of service” prior to watching a funny cat video?
4. Hypothetically speaking, is it now legal for me to start the “uber for loansharking” if my terms of service indicate that the penalty for late payment is kneecapping by non-employee gig muscle?
5. Can the secret service identify my source for this story by determining who i’ve been meeting for lunch at the Holiday Inn every Friday for the past two months? If so will your wife be in a lot of trouble?
I was one of those people. Or months at least along with a group of my high school friends. Most of the infocom games took between a few weeks to a few months of obsessive game play to get through & we played them all.
I'd love if there was someplace we could go to test this assertion instead of relying on unbacked statements.
I'm not saying it's untrue, but there is a lot of ambiguity in this claim as things stand. Are you referring to abuse of their monopoly power to censor speech? Abuse of same to compromise human rights? Nefarious trickery to subvert their own security model? Use of forced labor to assemble devices? Each is its own form of evil; the evidence for each ranges from beyond doubt to (afaik) non-existent; typing them out every time one wishes to discuss apple is daunting.
