Dr Joseph H. Schwab and colleagues have developed several algorithms using data from shoulder surgery patients that can help identify patients who may be at greater risk for opioid use after their prescription runs out. The bot identified previous opioid use and percentage of home zip code residents below the poverty line as key indicators. The best way to integrate bots like these into the workflow of physicians is still up for debate.
The UK plans to make cybersecurity and information warfare a top priority in coming years.

To upload funds into player wallets, users could either pay $9.99 directly through the Apple App Store or $7.99 through a new option called “Epic direct payment”. This was an intentional and blatant violation of Apple’s in-app purchase rules. Epic hoped that Apple would remove them from the App Store, which they did, opening them up to antitrust suits based on anticompetitive behavior. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled against Apple and Google, who removed Fortnite from its store for the same reason, in a victory for developers who don’t wish to give Apple a cut of their profits.
