      I’m really digging articles like this where we as a collective are waking up to these practices.

      Next, why does my bank inform doubleclick when I pay a credit card bill? Why does Facebook track when I pay my utility bill?

      I feel like the fight for contextual integrity is just getting a foothold. I’m excited to see this take off.

      That’s the same topic, just focused on Facebook instead of one hospital chain.

        Instead of “one hospital uses multiple trackers” it’s “a shit ton of hospitals use this one tracker without even realizing they did.”

    If it’s cool to use K to mean kilo, why not also use C to mean centi?

    You could save an entire character in the title by using $3CK.

      Because it’s less human readable. if you’re writing a compression algorithm, sure good start. Otherwise, no.

      I’d prefer $0.3M to that.

      Also SI units say the correct term would be Hectokilo = $3HK.
