  • DNA might contain health information, but unlike a doctor’s office, 23andMe is not bound by the health-privacy law HIPAA. And the company’s privacy policies make clear that in the event of a merger or an acquisition, customer information is a salable asset. 23andMe promises to ask its customers’ permission before using their data for research or targeted advertising, but that doesn’t mean the next boss will do the same. It says so right there in the fine print: The company reserves the right to update its policies at any time. A spokesperson acknowledged to me this week that the company can’t fully guarantee the sanctity of customer data, but said in a statement that “any scenario which impacts our customer's data would need to be carefully considered. We take the privacy and trust of our customers very seriously, and would strive to maintain commitments outlined in our Privacy Statement.”

  • As of October 2023, according to Brandenburg's Minister of Health Ursula Nonnemacher, Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg employs 11,500 people. The labor union IG Metall stated more than 1,000 employees have jointly demanded improved working conditions in a first-time campaign at the Grünheide factory and numerous Tesla employees have complained about poor working conditions. The workers criticized the workload as "extreme" due to short cycle times, a lack of personnel and excessive production targets. Employees also pointed to serious deficiencies in health protection, which led to sickness rates of up to around 30 percent and a high number of work accidents. When the union put up stickers in 2023 that read, "Our health is more important than the next billion to Elon," Tesla warned of disciplinary action that included termination without notice.

  • Both quotes are back-to-back in the article. The first gives general reasons for the retrial request, the second lists specifics.

    Why did you ask a question without reading the summary or article first?

  • Underground lanes, in an extention of the busiest highway in Canada, where rigs haul a shit-ton of cargo in soft-sided trailers (meaning it could be anything from nuclear waste to missiles), and there would never be an accident ... ever. 🙄

  • Because the next war will likely be WW3.

    But I'm not confident this is just to avert something larger, as it would seem we passed that point a while back.

  • It's about a racist group of people, who are currently under a provincial advisory board, but decided to have an official meeting without the quorum of individuals needed to have an official meeting.

    What they passed is incidental to the story.

  • Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has requested a retrial or dismissal of her March conviction for involuntary manslaughter in response to allegations that prosecutors failed to share evidence including ammunition that might have been exculpatory ...

    No. It's about prosecutor's not sharing evidence.

    Please read the article.

  • Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer is reconsidering the armorer’s conviction after throwing out an involuntary manslaughter case against Baldwin midtrial on similar grounds.

    That's why.

  • "Indeed, the RCMP C-IRG has repeatedly acted in a way that is contrary to the jurisprudence and to the rule of law," reads the report.

    The same unit faces abuse of process proceedings launched by First Nations activists who allege the unit violated their Charter rights during the Coastal GasLink pipeline dispute in northern B.C.

    The evidence there includes recordings of Mounties mocking activists arrested at Wet'suwet'en-led blockades as "orcs" and "ogre" and laughing while discussing beating a man and twisting his genitals during one arrest.

    ACAB and fuck the RCMP.

  • I don't think a lot of Canadians realize that we have super pacs contributing to party finances just like America does.

    For some reason nobody -- and I mean NOBODY -- has done a deep dive into it.

  • Does LAPD specifically hire the dumbest dumbfucks they can find? 'Cause if this is their best, well ...

    Only after Druggie decided to mess around in TO's municiple politics to set his own fucking agenda.

  • This is Canada encouraging Canadian citizens to leave Lebanon for their own safety.

    Where did you see this was talking about immigrants?

  • Yup. Guess Druggie forgot his province mostly consists of the Canadian Shield.

    But then again he may have just got a hard-on for all the blasting required to tunnel through the rock.

  • Drug Fraud's addiction to spending taxpayer dollars in the stupidest of ways continues.
