@JackRhysider@evans_cn As you know, state privacy laws vary widely and at least some states are stepping up (Illinois and biometric data, NY State and financial data, CCPR in California, etc.) but it'll likely mirror our current patchwork of privacy laws which -- sucks -- but is what we have for now.
@JackRhysider I stopped using my fitness tracker last fall when they started using AI as part of their toolset. Privacy is hard fought, but putting my biometric data into an LLM seemed like a particularly bad idea.
@emptywheel If a lopsided win occurs for the Ds, that will feed into the fraud screeching they'll do and they'll point to the polling as proof they got robbed.
@dkMOMUS We didn't realize it wasn't covered cuz -- why would we even think of that?! heh so we paid out of pocket, but would rather he keep his teeth anyway.
@dkMOMUS My favorite part about my current "good" dental plan is that it doesn't cover work to "the most distal teeth" -- i.e. the ones in the very back, all four of 'em. I found this out after my husband had a cavity there. "So you only cover most of my teeth?" -- Yes, was the answer
@sherrod_im Interesting, I don't want to agree w/this, but find myself nodding with what you're saying. The counter argument would be politicians want to protect their personal privacy and may begrudgingly extend it to others. Or state laws eventually overwhelm Feds, making it pointless
@lucasfryer I was standing on a street corner by Boston Commons and it all went off and everyone starting giggling and checking their phones ... the sound carried surprisingly well outdoors.
Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield.
Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation.
Our deepest love and thoughts are with Stacy, Trevor, Brianna, and the Wakefield family.
