A number of people I know are either just catching up on the MMH news or are unaware so I put together everything I've posted so far into a blog post: utf9k.net/blog/managem...
I wasn't sure whether I'd bother sharing it but apparently Reddit found it while I was sleeping

Aside from identity theft, what could attackers do? Let's ask:
-How could medical and contact info be used against a 16-year-old girl?
-What services could be denied based on these records?
-How would hate groups use this information if it became public?
-What is the risk to DV and abuse survivors?

It's Simeon Brown's job to downplay concern with non-sequiturs like "no clinical impact".
It's the media's job to highlight why that's completely beside the point, not hoist in into the headline.

I'm not an economist or historian, so this is only vibes... But I tend to think that the times we generally think of as the most prosperous (in NZ, Australia, UK and US at least) were the times with the strongest worker strength (unions) and the most public/government investment.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".
