Digging through my various links of historic aviation information and realized I haven't shared much on that here.

For this topic, I focus on the Northern Nevada section of the Transcontinental Airway System so these links are the ones directly to the Reno information. If you don’t know about this, in the early 1920s to mid 1930s, a system of large concrete navigational arrows and (later) lit beacons guided pilots across the United States to deliver mail. While many of the beacons and arrows were destroyed due to the war (recycle the metal and prevent enemy pilots from using the system), there are many that still exist. I like finding them.

These first links are to the Library of Congress archive of aeronautical strip maps (https://www.loc.gov/maps/?fa=segmentof:g3701pm.gct00064/&sb=shelf-id&sp=3&st=gallery) and sectional aeronatucial charts (https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3701pm.gct00089/?c=160&sp=32&st=gallery) really helpful in locating where beacons and arrows are/were.

This link is the 1921 pilot's guide when flying along the route. Fun seeing what landmarks still exist 100 years later. http://www.archivaria.com/PilotDirections/PilotDirections2.html

Finally, here is a site that details abandoned and little known airfields. Some of which were in service during the 1920s-1930s so the webmaster includes photos and charts for those specifically. http://www.airfields-freeman.com/NV/Airfields_NV_NW.htm

TITLE: When Your HIPAA BAA Subcontractor Most Likely Means Well

Therapists are going to have to make an effort to educate our own BAA subcontractors about privacy.

Amongst therapists, privacy has always been paramount.

On the Internet, tracking has gone through several understandings. First, early webmasters were excited to get free website use statistics from Google Analytics. Then followed several years of tactics to effectively market ads following client computers around the Internet. Now, there is an awareness of that data as valuable in-and-of-itself.

Recently there is a new awareness that data other than name, SSI, address, & diagnosis CAN be considered PHI (Protected Health Information) when it is specific enough to ID the patient. Also when a data aggregator (tracking the same client across the Net) can obtain & combine data from multiple websites to build a composite file on the client. Browser cookies, pixels, beacons, mobile application identifiers, Adobe Flash technology, and IP address geolocation data can all be used -- in conjunction with websites visited -- to figure out specific individuals. ( See "Use of Online Tracking Technologies by HIPAA Covered Entities and Business Associates" from HHS at https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/hipaa-online-tracking/index.html )

Also growing is an awareness that this data can be used for something other than just targeted advertising -- like in the recent Washington Post story in which the Planned Parenthood website was inadvertently sending data to Facebook and others -- which in theory could be used by hostile state governments to prosecute women for their medical choices. (See "You scheduled an abortion. Planned Parenthood’s website could tell Facebook." https://wapo.st/3Nyf6sr ) (Brick & mortar stores can also contribute. See "What Walmart’s tech investments mean for workers and shoppers" https://wapo.st/3J86PeE )

Therapists are going to have to make an effort to educate our own BAA subcontractors about privacy -- especially in cases where its not clear if HIPAA laws are being broken. Especially in cases where the subcontractors -- coming from the Internet world -- might not know better.

There are the more egregious cases (like BetterHelp sharing clear PHI data) -- situations in which therapists should walk or run away from the company. (See "FTC fines BetterHelp $7.8M, alleges it shared consumers' health info with advertisers" https://www.modernhealthcare.com/digital-health/ftc-betterhelp-consumer-health-info-facebook-snapchat-advertisers )

Then there are less clear cases where we need to change the mindset of our BAA subcontractors if possible.

Many of them may not understand the evolving definition of PHI. Their marketing/webdev teams may not talk with legal. They may just put together a required data consent policy with everything in it including the kitchen sink whether or not they actually collect it to "cover themselves". This needs tuning for their HIPAA clients. They may communicate with sites for legit use known to track (like fonts.google.com which provides fonts and is used by about every webmaster on earth).

If you want to see some of the URLs that your BAA subcontractors communicate with, You can double-check them by installing Ghostery and Privacy Badger in the Firefox browser (and maybe others) and checking which connections they warn you about or block when you go to those sites. This won't tell you WHAT data is communicated, only that SOME data is communicated (and if these services think they are a security risk). Knowing what data is actually sent would require someone with expertise in a packet sniffing software such as Wire Shark.

The article only covers 1 in 5 methods a smart phone can track.

In other words, the article is total garbage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMIY4J8jAUc covers all 5 methods.

For #SilentSunday - my favourite photo ever taken in the Brecon Beacons. I was alone, and totally in love. The entire landscape changed colours every few minutes as the peaks drifted in and out of thick cloud. This was my favourite mood on offer.

Yesterday morning just past Storey Arms on the A470 heading to Brecon.

Sending out #APRS from the automobile works a lot better when you find the button that toggles the permission for sending the #beacons. But at least I have proof that the darn thing works. And while I was building that proof, I got a pretty good handle on what area our club’s favorite #repeater covers. Though I should probably find a better place for the #transceiver’s audio output.

Just published a new @Hacksterio project on how to build a dual-mode Bluetooth beacon that broadcasts both #iBeacon and #Eddytsone packets using the @InPlay_Tech #IN100. All without a single line of code!

YES called #Beacons, All delivery trucks.. Cameras 360 view in REAL TIME.

Can be BLOCKED! Will be Blocked.

Privacy is "Priceless"
Protect it or Lose it.

Of course, it’s not unexpected that a map of sea #beacons makes continent outlines visible (it’s what they’re for, after all). What is fascinating is there is enough #OpenStreetMap data to make a map so accurately detailed. And a colorful and visually pleasing result.
