I mean I feel like the IRB is mostly dealing with medical stuff. "I want to electrocute these students every week to see if it cures asthma". "No that's too much.. every other week at most". "Great I'll charge up the electrodes"
So if a security researcher rolls in after the fact and says "umm yea so this has to do with nerd stuff, computers and kernels, no humans, and I just want it all to be super secure and nobody gets hacked, sound good" "ok sure we don't care if no people are involved and don't really understand that nerd stuff, but hackers bad and you're fighting hackers"
In principle I see your point, in practice my default assumption until proven otherwise here -- is that a little something slipped through post-1900.
A much easier approach would be to just download some model, whatever model, today. Then 5 years from now, whatever interesting discoveries are found - can the model get there.
I mean, maybe you had a different experience. In my experience in the northeast , the internet service is about as reliable and consistent as the trains themselves (ie not consistent, garbage fire)
So to your point, if we assume 4 appointments per season at one hour per, they are actually paying $100 in salary alone to only collect $80 season pass fee - a $20 loss! This business model is not sustainable
In order to keep it legal and above board, the US state assumes they are not her kids until proven otherwise. So yes, a DNA test is required. The other stipulation is a state department person needs to be in the room with the kids blood is drawn. A lot of red tape!
On the one hand the whole thing seems aggressive and strict. On the other - you can imagine that these rules went in place from bad experiences i.e. the DNA test existed because people were scamming the "bring children over", and then a state department person needed to be present because people were scamming the blood draw. It's another example of a few bad apples ruining it for everyone.
