"De-anonymising data is surprisingly easy: if you know Tony Blair’s date of birth (a matter of public record) and the two dates during his term in office in which he was treated for a heart condition (ditto), you can pick him out of any “anonymised” pool of NHS data in seconds, and then discover all those facts about his health that aren’t a matter of public record... Dr Ben Goldacre and his team at Oxford created OpenSAFELY, a “Trusted Research Environment” that allows researchers to write programs that analyse NHS data in situ. These programs would be dispatched to run against the data held by NHS trusts, and then the system would return the results to the researchers without ever letting them handle the data – which never left the trusts’ own servers."

the problem with celebrating girl bosses is at the end of the day you are celebrating bosses. society oriented around hierarchy is not feminist because it requires inequality.
let's think about this! the problem with patriarchy is not that some humans are born with dicks. the problem is structuring society around the unequal distribution of power. placing women within that architecture doesn't level it. but re-orienting around lateral movement building & collective organizing can! imo!
