"We’re not naming the affected organizations to limit the risk of exposing patient data."
However, a google inurl:dicom search sure shows up the affected organizations on the first page (and plenty pages after that).
And the sites are still fully open. Absolutely zero hacking required.
A lot of organizations had better get to work fast on this.

Many people were confused as to this being satire or not but one of the authors did a Q&A to help clear things up

Well, you're clearly not woke then.

I'm sure many Governments would love to be able to so simply identify what their citizens do online though.

Origin unclear but according to https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/English_language attributed to George Bernard Shaw.
I read the original and did not pick up the nuance until it was pointed out; then the alternative reading was also entirely reasonable even if it was not my first understanding. The cultural ambiguity of English at it's best.
If you don't spend the night in jail, then you have one data point suggesting not PR.
Have a reasonable sample of people repeat the experiment in multiple locations and multiple times and carefully record and report the results to you.
Collate the data points and report on the number of people arrested during the experiment.
Feel free to include Starbucks in a tweet about your results when you publish.

Looks like this is a follow up to previous HN submissions

No, at best this only shows that your google linked device (presumably a phone) did not have location information for that area at the specific time.
Alternatively it suggests the device could have been switched off/disconnected from the network to hide your presence - making you really a suspect of interest if your name comes into the investigation for some reason.
Dragnet approaches to law enforcement are inherently wrong. They unreasonably cast suspicion on everyone without any good basis and reverse the accepted safeguard that your guilt requires to be proven, and replace it with the idea that you require to prove your innocence.

According to https://www.cga.ct.gov/2012/rpt/2012-R-0254.htm that makes it a Class B Felony.
Plus the prima facie tort for the lost business.
Are you sure it's such a good idea to go around looking for trouble like this?
There are plenty of legal recovery avenues without going looking for trouble and pretending it's just standing up for yourself - a defense which will go nowhere in a felony hearing.
Using a small sample exposed to the suspected risk and the vast majority not exposed sounds like responsible ethics.
It is not stated, but there should also have been additional safeguards and monitoring. It is normal for studies to be terminated early if they are found to expose participants to either too much danger or if the study group is found to be significantly advantaged (in which case, for example, the whole group is given the beneficial treatment instead of just the small study group).
50% may sound 'fair' or 'equal', but this is about researching ways of saving life, some social notion of fairness or gender equality is not relevant and, if this study is correct, could have caused excessive death. Is it worth people being killed to get the gender balance into the shape you prefer?
A system incompatibility issue with serious consequences - too often people don't understand the risks associated when we introduce problems like that with version upgrades or switching parts of systems without considering the consequences.
Yes you can. In the UK (since we're discussing the UK, that's important), the offense is being in charge of a motor vehicle whilst incapacitated by drink or drugs. Incapacitated is defined as being over the limit defined in law (80mg in England/Wales and 50mg in Scotland - don't cross the border after a drink!).
Mere possession of the keys or being inside the vehicle [alone] or sitting in the driving seat is treated exactly the same as driving drunk. Some pubs will offer a 'hold your keys' service where you put the keys behind the bar and come back the next day to collect the keys and car when you're below the limit for driving.
"There are OLD divers and there are BOLD divers, but there are very few OLD, BOLD divers."
Every single time I had an issue under water, it was when I was trying something BOLD and it brought back the instructors words.
Martyn Farr's book [mentioned in other comments] is littered with examples of BOLD divers but when you look up to see what they're doing now, many of them are dead. Normally related to a cave incident.
I recently had to pass between Canada and the US and I, too, was forced to enter a checkpoint where I was held by someone carrying a gun, who asked invasive questions about why I wanted to cross into a different territory and I had to satisfy the guard that I was not going to present any threat and that my purpose for travel was legitimate.
Like a fool, I previously believed this was a normal thing done by countries and that these were normal border policing activities at so-called 'border crossings'.
But after reading your post, I now realize I was forced to be subjugated by an evil oppressor.
At least, that is if I accept that an otherwise normal action at territorial separation points can be re-phrased in pejorative terms through re-naming of border crossings as the more sinister sounding 'checkpoints'.
edit:typo.
Been there. Done that.
After a sleep study, I started using a CPAP machine and it totally turned my sleep and life around.
