Amazon launches *new* cloud storage service for U.S. spy agencies
12/17

The service will be provided to the intelligence community through an existing $600 million contract with U.S. intelligence agencies, which has made Amazon a dominant player in federal IT contracting.

I see the obvious problems with this just like everyone else. Erosion of privacy, denial of purchases on Amazon due to health, sale of information without knowledge, so on like we've all discussed for a long time with regards to Amazon and the big data companies.

On the other hand I see reminders for taking medicine being set up automatically via an Alexa enable device. Automatic management and re-ordering even delivery of vital medication. Easier lookup of relevant information online when a patient has questions. Automated "quick check ups" to see how a patient is doing (you know the ol' I'll see you next week for 5 minutes to to make sure you're doing better and to bill you again).

I'm a little torn on this I'm gonna admit. I know I should be against it but I've had enough elderly friends of the family end up in the hospital or worse simply through medicine mis-management and can see the potential here to help them.

so the scam that amazon would become the world's retailer is up...

now they are raiding every other opportunity out there in desperate moves to prop up the scam?

Great!! Now I can order vitamin injections and an oxygen dispenser, maybe a great wheelchair and some other goodies! Woo hoo 😄

If they are able to offer good coverage at a fair price then it's not a bad thing no matter what you think of Amazon or Bezos.

I'm hardcore conservative but I buy from Amazon all the time. They're the best at what they do.

I'm really interested to see what they'll offer even though I'm insured through my employer.

Cloud storage for US intelligence agencies? This is probably as big or bigger than Hillary's private server. it should be a top story!

how fucking stupid can they get?

I’d like clarification on how Bezo’s WAPO broke the stories on all the Trump Campaign members unmaskings. Since they had the government contract to that very information they reported on.
Might simply be a coincidence but ‘democracy dies in darkness’ is their logo so get the flashlight out

It's like that movie Idiocracy where you can buy everything you need at one store.

You know, if people can't do this simple shit...or lack family members willing to help...maybe they are better off dead.

Not to mention, most of the pharma shit is slow death anyway

Interesting concept on low cost drugs

Exactly

So Bezos has ALL your communications via NSA Cloud & now he wants access to your poop shoot.
Call me silly but I don’t believe this to be for benevolent reasons.

I’d trust Ben Carson with a medical business model before I’d trust a guy pumped on testosterone that’s the epitome of the swamp.
But hey, go ahead with your Alexa-Care-Market.

Multiple vaccinations and a unique ID microchip mandatory.

Not disagreeing with you. For most medications it should be up to the person. It is when you start getting into situations like managing a pill taken in the morning with something to eat with those you don't, maybe a reminder not to eat bananas or drink milk with another. Timers for things like how long after a meal for your stomach to empty. Quick surveys to see how a new pill is interacting with you. Maybe catch something small that's a warning sign for something much bigger that'd they dismiss.

I'm not saying it isn't stuff you should be able to manage on your own. Yet we've all been there when we forget the instructions for a moment on one thing or another, or wonder if one of the things that's happening is a side effect. Dismiss a side effect only for it to cause more trouble than what you started with.

I was mainly pointing out I could see where the technology could be used to aid people. Knowing people though they'd come to rely and trust on it completely instead of being capable of doing the necessary thinking on their own. Then they'd be controlled by their reliance on it. I hate to sound cynical but I lived through the growth of cell phones. It'll be much the same if this tech develops and is widely adopted.

As for people dying after reaching a certain level of care needed to stay alive...not fighting that one. It's something each of us has to set the line for. Some people find enough reason to want to fight to hang on...others are anxious to pass on to whatever comes next.

well its them against us so What difference does it make?

fuck you, jeff bezos, fuck you straight to hell.

I think it would be good. Healthcare needs innovation and efficiency, and Amazon has the best when it comes to those things.

I have learned that it is cheaper for me to get some medical supplies off Amazon than to to try to go to a medical supply store. I could tell everybody a whole slew of things that you can get off Amazon for less, but I'm afraid the attention would cause the AMA to go stir up some crap and shut stuff down. But I will say you can get some lab tests there, and they cost just a fraction of what I would have paid if I would have gotten them locally. I just collected my own specimens and put them in the mail.

For instance the AMA recently made a big stir because there was some diabetic supplies like test strips available there and they were freaking saying that they weren't kept in proper storage, before they even could have had time to check to see what kind of storage they were kept in. The drug stores and the AMA are big money, and the medical supply industry is big money. They will fight this.

I think it's a good start though. It doesn't have to begin and end with Amazon, and I hope it doesn't, but somebody needs to bring an element of competition into the medical /healthcare field.

Amazon delivers very fast.
There is only one other retail group that delivers as fast as they do and they are limited to their specialties for apparel and home domestications and decor.
Both are fantastic at their speed of shipping what is ordered and both have good pricing as well.

lol the problem with amazon getting into the healthcare space, they are going to find out there are so many state regulations that it's going to be crazy expensive just to get it going, now if the feds will allow insurance companies and stuff sell across state lines, that might help, but yeah, once they figure that out, you won't hear anything else about it

I completely agree. With all technology, it provides great benefits, conveniences and enjoyment but because its created by humans, always comes at a diabolical cost.

This is not a good idea!

Give them your health records, access to your DNA. Why would they want them? They'll get "hacked" and we'll get wiped out because of it.

Doomsday Amazon Flu. Delivered to your house, tailored to your specific genetics.

Amazon - in bed with the Chinese/CIA.

China/CIA soft war against us - what a pity, they'll be able to clear an entire continent with a couple of swabs.

Who needs a new continent to support their burgeoning population? The Chinese. Who gave the go ahead to their people to have more kids? The Chinese.

Where are they going to put all of the people? They're already taking the tops off of mountains and invading other countries because they can't stop fucking.

This is insidious. Your well meaning cousin could be the death of you and your entire genetic line.

‘democracy dies in darkness'

Ok by me!

We are a Constitutional Republic!!!

Sorry, but what is the problem here?

More private sector providers and competition in the healthcare market is a good thing no? Downward pressure on prices, and increased investment in new tech and reducing prices.

If pricing turns out to be uncompetitive, use someone else? And the same if you year their compromising of your private data (altho they prob have it all already)

These responses stink of envy. They seem to be against the private system you all seem to suggest you want, and is better (And yes the data suggests it's better I agree)

Change my mind

WalMart

Look at the way they treat their workers. Would they really care about anyone's health?

Yes, we need private healthcare, but with nutraceuticals, Pauling therapy, and other advanced nutrition. The only way is to look after yourself, family and friends. No one else will help.
