I'd also like to know as I'm in the same boat you are. I'm just leaving this comment to remember to look later and see if you got an answer.

But you can come serve in Canada and help us if you like!

I run a managed service provider (basically corporate I.T.) and we deal with lots of medical & dental companies. We have yet to walk into a place EVEN IF THEY HAD OTHER I.T. SUPPORT BEFORE WE GET THERE that isn't actively bleeding mass amounts of data to China and have no idea why they are doing so. Some systems are even going as far as to send out screenshots and passwords.

We don't know why it's so prevalent in medical and dental, but it's probably not good.

It's kind of terrifying how non-private everything is in badly run companies that are more cost-focused than privacy-focused. Even worse, we've had some medical and dental offices refuse support because it was too costly (and we're on the lower-mid end of pricing), but having all their client data stolen was free!

I didn't read him as saying that though. They are not stating that capitalism is better, they are stating that human greed will attempt to corrupt every system.

There have to be safeguards in place to stop the greed. And yes, there might be safeguards within one anarchist collective (which anywhere else would be known as "laws"), but not another one that gets greedy and wants to take over your collective and has bigger guns.

Fighting against greed is an ongoing project no matter what political system you are under. Switching systems does not miraculously solve this.

Shit. I didn't read your comment as a joke initially and almost had a mini-rant about how we know if a server 3 provinces away is down for 5 minutes and go into a red alert.

That was dumb of me. Carry on.

Pretty piss-poor "24 hr. service" from OVH. We're an MSP and will make sure to steer clear of them for future projects.

Glad to see everything back however!

Data - Don't Sing

Murders. I don't want to spoil any more than that because it has a twist.

This is a damn good question that I would also love an answer to!
