anchor.diff:  == Email Privacy
   As a former government employee, I was aware that all my work emails might one day be publicly available (although the feasibility of accessing these emails is questionable). This policy was also recently highlighted in link:http://www.nationalreview.com/article/414773/latest-clinton-scandal-quintessentially-hillary-charles-c-w-cooke[Hillary Clinton's email scandal].

   Knowing this fact, I encouraged my former management team to adopt an open email system (see link:https://stripe.com/blog/email-transparency[Stripe]) which would hopefully lead to faster information flow and fewer meetings. I suggested an opt-in system, so an email which an employee wanted to be private, could remain so, but that the majority of emails would be archived in a public data base that could be sorted and searchable. This would be an enormous trove of data that could easily be accessed.

  Another drawback of privacy comes from the area of healthcare research (which is why I am primarily interested in it). If healthcare data was not private, researchers could link together an unimaginable number of data sets and investigate a wide range of diseases. The number of research questions scientists could address and the strength of the analyses would no doubt lead to a healthier nation and world.
