#42jokes aside, testing != outcomes; many comments here make reference to testing results taken by others, and then .. what ? Who owns the data ? what is the custody chain of the data ? When it is available, to the highest bidder?
Illness is a weakness, and weakness is used by humans against other humans, everyday. Some psychology suggests that the more removed and remote the decision-making, the more likely to be unfair. Therefore, collecting intimate data on YOU with this device, especially in some kind of mandetory, unescapable way, is the stuff of nightmares for real reasons.
This invention is useful, but its application is no joke. !

#43Adult Swim's Smart Pipe coming to life. https://youtu.be/DJklHwoYgBQ I actually thought it was a cool idea when I watched that, besides the exaggerated parts for the joke.
Brilliant! That's some HBO Silicon Valley level parody. Atlas Shrugged @ 5:15 Start at 4:55 for the set-up. SmartPipe CEO Kirk Peckley is played by Mark Proksch, who also played Daniel Wormald (a.k.a Pryce) the H2 driving Squat Cobbler from Better Call Saul! https://breakingbad.fandom.com/wiki/Daniel_Wormald https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Proksch https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Squat%20Cobb...

Haha.

#44Have not read the article, but every time I've heard about it my thought is, "make it not connected to the internet." Basically, keep the data local, then you can choose to take to your doctor, or find a way to analyze it yourself. No need for it to be transmitted anywhere.
Of course, that would require respecting a persons privacy and not falling for the lure of "big data" "saving the world".

#45Stool diagnostics are the future. So much health information is flushed down the toilet. I hope this will soon be a standard in houses. Except, the problem is what happens to the data of friends that use your toilet...
Simple, just have an OAuth login panel at the toilet to make sure your data gets assigned correctly.
If the tech is good enough, it could use a Fart ID system

>I hope this will soon be a standard in houses. I sure as hell hope is is not. Like every other piece of convenience crapware (pun intended) we've surrounded ourselves with, it would undoubtedly come packed with data sharing agreements with ad networks / data brokers. If this ever becomes some sort of norm, I would encourage people to start mailing boxes of their own waste directly to Google for them to enjoy analyzi…
It's the one place crapware belongs.

Facial recognition? I don't want a touchscreen on my toilet.
I remember reading every anus is unique, so you could use that for id instead of your face or fingerprint.
Someone already made a comedy sketch about that approach: https://youtu.be/DJklHwoYgBQ

Mark Proksch is fantastic, he's been a great joy to watch in "What We Do in the Shadows".

Sure but I’m going to carry that smart toilet to the local dump either way
Yeah but what if you can't buy a non-smart toilet any more? Like what happens with TVs now.
Haha yeah same
Deal. Only dumb screens in my house. It’s all a joke ... this new shit. A joke on us
