Science and Technology Daily: Promoting AI Governance JointlyThere are a not insignificant number of Americans who think European socialized medicine is 'free' and superior to the American system of private health insurance. It's not, and anyone who pays even mild attention to what happens in places like the U.K., Canada, and Cuba know that system sucks. But don't take this writer's word for it. Here's a European saying the same thing: my european mind cannot comprehend americans complaining about healthcare. don’t they realize the so-called “free healthcare” in europe is a massive scam you pay for with your own money? sure, you don’t have insurance premiums, but you’re hit with a 60% tax rate to fund an... A 60% tax rate to fund it. europe’s “free” healthcare is obviously not free it’s wildly expensive, just hidden behind layers of bureaucracy. doctors earn less but the system bleeds money because of waste and inefficiency. for example, in italy, public healthcare workers rack up over 11,000 sick days... The post continues: for example, in italy, public healthcare workers rack up over 11,000 sick days annually during flu seasons, leaving patients stranded in understaffed hospitals. many doctors double-dip with private practices just to survive. Wow. patients wait six months or more for “urgent” care, paying for a system that’s overrun and failing. many europeans still buy private insurance because they know public care won’t save them when it matters most. Look at cancer survival rates in the U.S. versus the U.K. Tells you all you need to know. americans, your system isn’t perfect, but at least it rewards efficiency, competition, and innovation. those calling for “free” healthcare don’t realize they’re asking for higher taxes, longer lines, worse outcomes, and a bloated system that serves no one well. be careful what... This writer always reminds people that when it comes to healthcare you get to pick two of these: And that won't change. The word “Free” should never be used for any government endeavor. It’s never free, it’s always expensive, wasteful and inefficient. Bingo. This post here contains a nugget of importance: all these so-called “public” healthcare systems de facto split into a 2-tier public/private system, with vastly different levels of service quality Because people don't want to die when they can pay for healthcare. Calling services you payed for with your taxes "free" is the biggest gaslighting out there. It's only free for people who never work.. Nailed it. And since the original poster kicked a hornet's nest, here's some more examples: i made some commies angry with this post, so i’ll try to give some examples of how bad the situation is in italy. these might seem like cherry-picked personal anecdotes, but you can ask anyone, and they’ll share similar stories. exhibit a one of my siblings broke his leg playing... https://t.co/r0v2Ldo0LH The entire post reads: exhibit a one of my siblings broke his leg playing rugby—displaced fracture. he went to the ER and was left waiting on a hospital bed in a corridor, without care or supervision, for 16 hours (overnight), still in pain and given nothing but ice. the next day, someone finally asked him what he was doing there, took him for an x-ray, and got him a cast. exhibit b my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed surgery. the first available spot in the public system was 18 months away. thankfully, we had private health insurance at the time, and she got her surgery the following week. exhibit c my younger brother was born with a cardiac malformation. one evening, when my dad was out for work, he started having trouble breathing. my mother called an ambulance, and they said it was on its way. after an hour, with my brother still struggling, my dad got home and rushed him to the ER. the ambulance never left the station—the paramedics were in the break room watching a soccer game. my brother died that night. these examples show how public healthcare systems can fail people when they need care most. while the american system isn’t perfect, it’s often better than what you’ll find in european countries, where delays, neglect, and inefficiency are the norm His brother DIED because of this system. How awful. Wow, that’s insanely bad Yes it is. that’s public healthcare And it's terrible. Public systems are collapsing in Canada and Europe too, the aging population and spiraling costs have made them totally unworkable. At least you can probably get approved for euthanasia Watch these systems push euthanasia to help save money by calling it 'death with dignity.' Nothing good comes from socialized medicine. Nothing.

NoneEL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K Dobbins is unlikely to play against the Atlanta Falcons this week because of a knee injury. Dobbins was hurt in the first half of the Chargers’ 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. He had six carries for 40 yards and three catches for 19 yards before leaving the game. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh declined to get into specifics of the injury Wednesday, other than confirming Dobbins is “working through something with his knee,” he said. Dobbins had been putting together a strong first season for the Chargers (7-4) after his past three years in Baltimore had been injury-riddled. He has 766 yards rushing and eight touchdowns through 11 games for Los Angeles, which had positioned Dobbins as a strong candidate for AP Comeback Player of the Year. Dobbins tore his Achilles tendon in the 2023 season opener for Baltimore. He also tore his ACL in 2021, and the effects of that injury lingered into the following season. Dobbins played in just 24 of a possible 67 regular-season games for the Ravens, who drafted him in the second round in 2020. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Senator Risa Hontiveros during the Kapihan sa Senado forum on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024. Noy Morcoso/INQUIRER.net Some government officials have been “coaching” people behind the now-banned Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos) on how to mask their continued operations, according to a senator who had led the inquiry into Pogos’ alleged ties to organized crime. Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros raised this concern on Thursday, a day after Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla confirmed that certain Pogos had defied the ban by “disguising” themselves as restaurants and resorts. READ: Palace issues EO in nationwide Pogo ban “Pogos are still operating and they are getting more creative. They are making ways to change or conceal their identity. Others were pretending to be legal BPO (business process outsourcing) firms. We received reports that some government officials were the ones giving them such advice,” Hontiveros said during the Kapihan sa Senado forum. “Those are the reports we have been getting—government officials coaching them to change their form, at least legally, and register as BPOs. But behind these ‘BPOs’ are continuing Pogo operations,” she added. Asked if these government officials would be summoned by her committee in connection with its probe of Pogos, Hontiveros said “no names were given to us. It’s just the phenomenon; that it’s happening.” “But since we publicized it already, let this serve as a warning: If that is true, you know who you are. They should stop it,” Hontiveros added. READ: House panel OKs bill banning Pogos, imposing strict penalties But she said she would consult lawyers on her staff on the possible actions that can be taken. “I’ll ask, is it obstruction of justice? Whatever it is, definitely there are accountabilities. And if the regulators and members of the executive who are mandated to implement the law are the very ones violating the Pogo ban ... their accountability is heavier,” Hontiveros stressed. She reminded local governments that they may also be held liable if they fail to detect illegal Pogo operations in their areas or are found to be “providing (them) legal cover.” Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.

Ransomware attacks often now target backup data directly, experts warn Zero Trust principles are key to data protection 59% of organizations experienced ransomware attacks in 2023 Ransomware attacks have increasingly become a top concern for businesses worldwide, targeting organizations of all sizes and industries. Recent research by Object First has highlighted key vulnerabilities and the growing importance of modern backup technologies in combating ransomware threats. The survey revealed many businesses are still using outdated technologies that leave their backup data vulnerable to attack, suggesting they are not yet adequately prepared to fend off modern ransomware attacks. The state of backup security Backup data is becoming a prime target for cybercriminals, therefore organizations need to rethink their backup security practices to adopt more resilient, ransomware-proof solutions. The report revealed while over a third (34%) of respondents pointed to outdated backup systems as a major weakness, making them easier targets for ransomware attackers, 31% cited a lack of backup data encryption , which prevents sensitive data from being securely stored and transferred. In addition, failed data backups were identified by 28% of respondents as another key vulnerability. These failures leave organizations unable to restore their systems after an attack, often resulting in lengthy downtimes and expensive recovery processes. More troubling is the finding that ransomware attacks are increasingly targeting backup data directly. Normally, backups are considered a last line of defense in the event of an attack. However, with attackers now focusing on compromising this data, simply having backups is no longer enough. This shift has led to a growing need for immutable storage backup systems designed to ensure data cannot be altered or deleted by ransomware once it is stored. Are you a pro? Subscribe to our newsletter Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed! An overwhelming 93% of survey respondents agreed that immutable storage is essential for protecting against ransomware attacks, while 84% of IT workers highlighted that they need better backup security to meet regulatory compliance. This need for enhanced security is further evidenced by the fact that 97% of respondents plan to invest in immutable storage solutions as part of their cybersecurity strategy. Immutable storage is built on Zero Trust principles, a security model that assumes no user or system is inherently trustworthy. This approach focuses on continuously validating every access request and limiting permissions to minimize the risk of unauthorized access. The Object First survey found that 93% of IT professionals believe aligning their backup systems with Zero Trust principles is key to safeguarding their data from ransomware. Zero Trust architecture ensures that even if cybercriminals gain access to a system, they are limited in their ability to manipulate or delete critical data. While the need for enhanced security is clear, the survey also revealed that managing backup storage systems remains a challenge for many organizations. Nearly 41% of IT professionals stated that they lack the skills necessary to manage complex backup solutions, and 69% reported that budget constraints prevent them from hiring additional security experts. “Our research shows that almost half of organizations suffered attacks that targeted their backup data, highlighting the criticality of adopting backup storage solutions that are ransomware-proof,” said Andrew Wittman, Chief Marketing Officer at Object First.
