Personally I wouldn't trade my privacy for an emergency. But it seems that this app proposed for the EU is built with privacy in mind and if that's the case then I won't mind using it. N.b. in UK and other countries the locat

I hope you'll be OK, however I'm not holding my breath. I'm from Romania and we were at 500 cases and a doubling time of roughly 6 days only a week ago or so. Our cases were also imported, via emigrants returning home. Confir

If this works you don't need everyone to join, you just need a big enough majority.

Because everyone else is only 20 days or so behind Italy. As WHO experts say from their experience with Ebola and others, it's better to act early. I see a lot of disbelief on this site too, it appears that exponential growth can fool

I don't live in Germany, but they started doing 160,000 per week and now they've ramped up to 500,000 tests per week. That's extensive testing. Not sure about your situation, but from official numbers at least, they are doin

That EU's measures differ from country to country is regrettable. It means that countries like Germany, which are doing extensive testing (500,000 tests per week), have hospitals in good shape and overall a good administration, will ge

Maybe you're right, however in Italy when they announced the shutting down of regions in the north, people fled to the south and immigrants started flying home, which helped spread the virus in all of Italy and throughout Europe. It is

I'm pretty sure that Google Meet isn't end-to-end encrypted either. Nothing that Google does is. WhatsApp does claim that videos are end-to-end encrypted as well, although given Facebook announced they'll implement client-sid

End-to-end encryption is hard to implement, might cost more processing or bandwidth or storage (depending on the product) and does not yield benefits for companies interested in processing user data. If it's not clearly advertised on t

Another distinguishing trait is that Homo Sapiens are dreamers (e.g cave paintings). Not sure how relevant or true the claim is, but it's surely romantic. Or we might simply be more aggressive and that's it. A species determined o

Of course, the Homo family are very adaptable and fruits and honey have been eaten where available. Evidence of fruits or tubers or seeds is harder to come by from the Paleolithic era because plant fossils are rare (vs bones that are common

This is the short term effect. We need to worry about the long term too. We need to worry about an economic depression rivaling that of 1929, in which a lot of people will die of hunger. Yes people are dying and we should do everything poss

If drugs are illegal, then that's the law. Fair or not, that's beside the point. If you don't like the law, feel free to lobby for changing it, but in case you're selling drugs illegally, then you should go to jail. In g

In Romania it's 5.37 EUR for the solo account, or 8.06 EUR for the family pack. 5.37 EUR is the price of 2 Starbucks lattes, 8.06 EUR the price of 3 lattes. Not insignificant, but given the lack of ads (very important for my kid to not
