How to prevent health insurance company get hold of private health tests
2 by msapaydin | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Today's something very strange happened for me where I live (Turkey). I got a health insurance offer (from Allianz) that precluded certain conditions (thyroid related). I had made a request about 10 months ago from the same provider, and had not had this excluded set of conditions from the insurance policy, but had decided to not proceed. Since then, I have had a private blood test and a private MR for thyroid. I paid for both myself in full, one in cash. When I showed the results of the test and the MR to my doctor last year, he concluded that I had no thyroid related condition to worry about and I decided to get a private health insurance. I wonder how the health insurance provided has heard of this set of tests I had done. I can think of only a clandestine transfer of data from the hospital and lab where the MR and blood test were done which does not adhere to the national equivalent of GDPR. I am not sure what I could do to prevent this kind of thing except moving elsewhere with better privacy procedures.

New ask Hacker News story: EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts

EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts 21 by magnusgraviti | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We've built https://evm-ui.com, a free tool that allows you to interact with smart contracts visually. It started as an internal project while building Web3 apps for clients — we needed something more flexible and lightweight than Remix or Etherscan's UI. Unlike Etherscan or Polygonscan, you don't need to verify and open-source your smart contract to get a working UI. Paste the ABI (or load it from a template) and proceed. With EVM-UI, you can - Import contracts by address + ABI, or paste ABIs directly - Read/write functions with auto-generated UI (supports all Solidity types, including arrays) - Execute actions with smart inputs (dropdowns, min/max helpers, etc.) - Switch between EVM chains, testnets, or local RPCs within one workspace - Use developer tools (Keccak256, ABI encoder/decoder, address utils) - Share environments with your team and your cl...
