People who just scratch out or put a box over text often don't make sure to really get all of it, so that people can make a pretty good guess at what the text was from little bits of the letters left behind - after all, it'll probably be the same font as the rest of the surrounding text, so you know what the letters hidden should look like. You can also derive some information about the text contents even if the actual text was properly obscured. Consider, say, that you see a document where you know that the word blotted out had to be either "Bigfoot" or "alien", from outside context. When you get up to the point in the document where "And we confirmed it was a [blotted out text] as we expected", well, you know what font they're using and you'll know that Bigfoot takes up more space on the page/screen than Alien, and you can even just type it out in that font, perhaps perspective correct it, and double check that yes Alien fits this blank space more than Bigfoot. Or even if you don't know for sure that it's bigfoot or alien, you can at least be sure it's not "Loch Ness Monster" because the text covered is way too small to have fit that.

What is a firm financial way to tell your roommates to gently caress off about not running the AC, would it be too passive aggressive to offer to pay the whole power bill if they cover and extra XXX amount on the rent?

Speaking of obscuring file contents/metadata/provenance and audio recording, I have a question about a thing I had to do for work a long time ago. It’s no longer relevant but I’m interested if I succeeded in my aim. I was asked to ensure that an audio recording could not be traced to the person who captured it, in order to protect a whistleblower’s anonymity, and also could not be traced to my employers. The recording was made on a smartphone, so the file will have been laden with metadata that could have compromised anonymity. My solution was to buy a digital dictaphone and SD card (with cash, although I think this detail was highly over cautious) and manually record the audio of the recording, thus creating a duplication of the audio only. I am pretty confident I achieved what I set out to do. I certainly never heard anything more on the matter and this was several years ago. So I’m just curious if there’s some kind of inaudible digital metadata encoding that could have been carried with the audio that I captured.

sorry i'm spamming so many stupid and small questions: is there an application that lets me transcribe audio simply for a dissertation? I was gonna do it in Word and just copy / paste a bunch of:quote:Interviewer: and fill in what is said between the two people. but is there an application that automatically adds the interviewer / interviewee thing when I press enter? I know we're not at the level of tech that lets a computer automatically transcribe accurately, and I'm happy enough sitting through hour-long recordings just transcribing it all by hand to lessen any potential errors. I just have a feeling pasting that poo poo over and over is gonna get old, quick.

Make a table and paste interviewer: / interviewee: as a pair of cells over and over into the left hand column before you begin transcribing?

I mean, the time spent fiddling that out is probably way less than the time just doing C+P of interviewer and interviewee in Word. Depending on the people talking, that's really gonna be the least amount of time compared to actually transcribing accurately. One thing you learn doing audio transcripts is that people barely talk coherently a lot of the time, and you'll spend half the time correcting entire dropped sentences, dead ends. And also pray they speak clearly. An hour of transcription, one on one, used to take me 2+ hours or more and I can type as fast as people speak. The names of the speakers won't take you two minutes to C+P.

Make keyboard macros so you only have to press a couple of keys to insert the speaker's name. That's more or less how we used to do it when I transcribed as a job. Also if you intend to do a lot of transcribing then get a foot pedal to start/stop the sound with, it's very painful without one. Edit: also yeah it takes a long time, for court transcription it was like 40 minutes to 1 hour to transcribe 10 minutes of speech.

That way you can just press enter to go down a cell each line. Another easy way is to use a table but with only one column at first, then tab your way through so each speaker is one line. After, you can add column left and copy paste your required words. It’s not going to easily auto fill the contents while maintaining the pattern like a spreadsheet program will, though.

No, that is pretty much the ideal way to do it : you are converting it to analog, then to digital so any metadata in the original file is lost. In theory, you could add an audio watermark to the original that could survive the analog recording process, but that's not something the phone manufacturer is going to do.

Here's a question for those goons living in sane countries that have universal healthcare. What happens in situations where you injured due to the negligence of others (ex: you are hit by a car; you get injured at someone else's home due to an accident like tripping over a rug; you are injured in a place of business like slipping and falling in a puddle of water)? Does their insurance pay for your medical bills?

Does their insurance pay for your medical bills? Often there isn’t much to sue for other than lost income and stuff like that, but you can claim pain and suffering or loss of use if it’s really bad. In that case, usually employers have insurance for that, your car insurance covers it if you hit someone, and your house or rental insurance covers it if your house falls on someone or they break their neck tripping on your rug somehow.

If that were the case how would we handle, say, kids who break their collarbones playing hockey (  )? Would the government sue the parents? The kid? The coach or rink?Or broke-rear end addicts who overdose? Suing them is hardly going to work OR prevent future overdoses. Suing the dealer would be problematic as well. Sue the parents for raising a hosed up kid? A failed school system or job market for preventing someone from living a meaningful life? Or women who get pregnant accidentally and don’t want an abortion? Just sue them for giving birth? The man who did the deed? Both? I guess the problem is that nobody is really easily blamed for the negligence, or punishing the negligence just doesn’t make society any better so we take it on the chin as taxpayers. The goal of the whole thing is to make the country better, not to make money.

That would tend to come about in the course of someone being prosecuted for causing the injury criminally. Also like, if you crash your car into someone else's car, your car insurance is going to have to pay out things to the other guy regardless of whether healthcare is free or costs millions.

In general, countries with UHC are less 'sue-happy' than America, probably because there is less need for people to recoup costs to pay for medical bills. God knows how expensive it would be for governments to investigate every medical incident for negligence in order to recoup the medical costs. The legal and administrative costs alone would probably far, far outweigh the costs of the medical care and the ensuing costs they would inevitably have to suffer from suing people who can't afford to pay for the itemised medical bills, who would fall back into relying on the social welfare system.

Mister Kingdom posted:Thank you. As costs go up, the stakes go up I guess. The examples you gave, let's say it results in a call for an ambulance and a trip to A&E for lacerations/broken bones or whatnot. Over 90% of cases will be in and out of A&E within 4 hours and the actual cost to the government is ballpark around £150 for those that are in and out in that timeframe. The stats I looked at didn't make it clear if that factors in wages for paramedics and so on, but I assume it does. You can easily see how the vast, vast majority of cases would never merit any legal attempt to recoup costs. The real drains on UHC are longer term illnesses and extended stays in hospitals. Testament to that, over 65s make up less than 20% of the population in the UK but make up over 40% of its costs.

Keep in mind that the cost of any given treatment in a country with healthcare will be a tiny fraction of what it costs in America. If they charge fifty thousand dollars for something in the states I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it costs only ten thousand in Canada, and probably even less than that in an actually good country.

Their insurance might be forced to pay for any future damages as a result of your injury (lost wages etc) but that is unlikely except in the most extreme cases. They might be forced to pay for your deductible for the year* though. *Our system works with it being mandatory to have private health insurance that starts at about €100/month. There is a €360-something yearly deductible for everything except your primary care physician (that is free). Insurance companies are not allowed to refuse you. In practice it is just a tax with an extra layer of bureaucracy and a different name, though of course our liberals are pushing towards more imitation of the US system. baquerd posted:Does this mean liability insurance is a lot cheaper?

Another thing to remember in the US is most of the time it's not actually the person who got injured filing the lawsuit, it's their insurance company. It's not "hell yeah I broke my leg at walmart I'm gonna be a millionaire", it's that person's insurance company saying "ok we paid for your broken leg. but WE shouldn't have to, walmart's insurance company should, so we're going to sue them"

In Switzerland, medical insurance and accident insurance are separate, and employers are required to carry accident insurance for all employees who work more than 50% of full time. This covers any accidents you have, not just at work. You basically just have to give a different insurance number at the doctor's office depending on why you're there.
