    If you assume that the Apple implementation is perfect then sure it does contradict. Hell given the amount of information people store on cloud, It might not even be a big deal. But its not wrong to seek verification via peer review since t

    Sure, but you are neither a doctor nor an infectious medicine specialist. Its trained doctors and researchers who get to decide quality of medical evidence. There is a reason why we have detailed set of protocols and levels used for assessm

    Good luck selling that to doctors. People who are trained to cut open a patient aren't receptive to hypothetical harms and imaginary "budgets". Consider the fact that cause of death records are public. The usual perception of

    I guess what NYTimes articles praising liberal arts education miss out on is following: No one is denying importance of learning history, literature, etc. What people have begun doubting is if its really worth to spend 200k$ & four year
