Re:AI used for skin cancer checks at London hospital on Monday April 14, 2025 @04:26PM (#43685935)
Anecdotally, when I had a potential skin cancer checked at a London hospital they were completely ill-prepared.

When I came back to Australia, it was checked and immediately removed as an obvious melanoma.

Perhaps the idea of Comparative Advantage also applies to healthcare between countries with natural variances to types of disease?

Can't speak for Google's case - but Apple certainly goes to great pains to make it clear they don't collect location data on users - it's left on the user's device.

Isn't it interesting that it takes an international mega-corporation to take a more realistic and principled approach to user privacy than a democratic government.

The business I’m in may not be representative of the clients you’re looking for (we’re 15 strong), but we would be interested at around the £100 mark.

To be honest I thought the same thing. Pricing was also a little hidden.

I have been looking for something like this - as patio11 would say, you should always charge more than you think but I’ll be honest, my workplace could not really justify this price for an hour.

Asking to transfer the domain with such short notice does feel heavy-handed for sure. But they haven't asked to delete the blog - only to remove offending references.

I mean, this seems perfectly reasonable? The letter is polite and explains exactly why they have reached out.

You could make a reasonable case that someone may be confused and think this fan is officially related to the Raspberry Pi company.

Looks fantastic - a long queue for the beta, but would like to give it a try. Early yet - but any plans to support plugins?
This seems like a good thing in theory... but if it's all all successful, where goes the inventive for manufacturers to be more careful about their code?

Why should they make secure code if it's just going to be fixed for them?

Also, where's the incentive for lawmakers to regulate IoT security if less people are affected?
