[Beep] "Mom, call me."

It's the timing and individuals and the sequence of events which matter.



The information will probably be in the next call.


Yes, yes, but it is already in the meta-data: Even if the patient drives to Mom's house after getting voice mail - in which case there will not be the next call but there will be meta-data regarding the location of the patient's cell phone.


This is just no true - if I buy a used car and then call somebody to tell him that I just bought a black Audi A6 there is no (easy) way you can figure out these details from metadata alone.


How can there be meta-data of location of patient's cell phone, but not data of patient's cell phone? What is that which "data" is that "meta-data" the "meta" of?


"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. -- Bill Clinton

And now I am reminiscing fondly about the days when our biggest national concern was a blowjob.


So meta-data of that would be "[Beep]"
