Disappearing data is easy once you stop caring about disappearing people.
MEPS seems to be gone as of now. This is very bad. These are critical pieces of data about health care and they belong to the American public.

FYI as you head into the holiday season:
Shopify is a Canadian company, but its CEO Tobi Lütke is Maple MAGA in both words & monetary support (under the guise of “free speech” & “open commerce”).

🚨Airbus has just confirmed to me that this issue does indeed relate to single-event upsets, also known as bit flips🚨
This is pretty massive.
There is scant detail so far but they say "solar radiation" has caused problems for some aircraft.
This *could* be related to single-event upsets, where cosmic rays trigger computer errors. I've asked Airbus if they can share more detail.

• Oura told me that the company *has* received U.S. government demands for users' data.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
