Privacy in an open-data world: Why government agencies need to be proactive
Government agencies face significant data privacy and security challenges, exacerbated by the digitalization of interactions and transactions. Regulatory frameworks like CPRA, HIPAA, and CJIS provide a complex mosaic of privacy regulations. Data brokers further complicate privacy, often selling personal information without consent. Agencies must prioritize both privacy and security, implementing comprehensive data governance policies and advocating for stronger privacy regulations. Collibra offers solutions to help agencies manage data privacy obligations and prevent breaches. The article underscores the importance of proactive data governance, especially in light of COVID-19 related fraud, and calls for increased regulation of data brokers.

An editorial on Nguoi-Viet online in 2020.
How to ensure enough vaccines for the world?
The article discusses the complexities surrounding the idea of waiving patent rights for COVID-19 vaccines to increase global access, especially for poorer countries. It highlights the challenges of vaccine production, such as the need for specialized materials and expertise, and the potential impact on future pharmaceutical innovation. The article also mentions the support of U.S. President Joe Biden for the waiver and the positions of various pharmaceutical companies and the World Trade Organization. It questions whether waiving patents will lead to the desired outcome of increased vaccine availability and considers the implications for intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Formation of the Vietnamese Language – White Lotus
Historical linguists work similarly to archaeologists, digging through layers of language to trace the origins and evolution of modern tongues. They compare vocabulary and syntax across languages to hypothesize common ancestry and divergence over time. The article discusses the formation of the Vietnamese language, its roots in the Mon-Khmer language family, and its influences from Tai-Kadai, Hmong-Mien, and Sino-Tibetan languages. It also explores the impact of migrations and cultural exchanges on language development. The Vietnamese language, with its tonal nature and lexical influences from various language families, is a result of millennia of evolution and interaction, distinct from Chinese despite sharing some vocabulary.
‘Where are you from?’
The author reflects on the cultural implications of the question 'Where are you from?' in the United States, recounting personal experiences of moving to a new neighborhood and interacting with neighbors. The author notes a shift in societal norms, where people have become more cautious about asking this question due to its potential to offend or imply discrimination. The text also touches on the broader issues of political division and racial discrimination, particularly against Asian Americans, and the author's belief in the inherent goodness of people despite these challenges.
The Donald Trump Party
Former President Donald Trump has declared he has no intention of forming a third political party, as he already has a strong hold on the Republican Party. His endorsement is crucial for candidates in the party, and his influence is expected to shape the 2022 elections. The loyalty of the base voters to Trump poses challenges for those within the party who oppose him. The Republican Party's traditional stance on free trade and alliances contrasts with Trump's protectionist policies. Trump's trade policies, particularly tariffs on steel and aluminum, have been criticized for their economic impact. The future of the Republican Party is seen as being at stake in the upcoming elections, with Trump's leadership potentially leading to a shift in the party's direction.
Protecting Myanmar's Democracy
Myanmar citizens have been protesting for four consecutive days, demanding the restoration of government to democratically elected officials and the release of Aung San Suu Kyi. Thousands, including monks, students, workers, teachers, and engineers, took to the streets with banners calling for justice. The military, led by General Min Aung Hlaing, detained Suu Kyi and the president, claiming election fraud in the November elections. The election commission dismissed these allegations. The military, which holds significant power under the 2008 constitution, fears losing economic privileges with the strengthening of democracy. The coup aims to protect these interests, risking international sanctions that could harm Myanmar's economy, which has been growing due to exports and foreign investment since the democratic opening.
