They could have made an incremental move in that direction, though. And incremental moves could build up to something more over multiple generations of the Apple Watch. I expected they'd be coming out with a more efficient SoC for the

I really want to like Apple Watch. Apple end-to-end encrypts your health data, so I trust their stewardship more than most other companies (including Garmin, who recently fell victim to a ransomware attack). And IMO Apple does a superior jo

I have both a MBP and a Windows workstation hooked up to a 4k monitor, and the difference in high-DPI support is night and day. macOS and mac apps support high-DPI essentially flawlessly. On Windows even system dialogs have blurry text, as

Why is the April section of the "removal of intervention" curve below the "with intervention" curve? Particularly since there are actual "hospitalizations" data points plotted along the former?

On the contrary, contact tracing (plus widespread testing) will be necessary in places where outbreaks are eventually brought under control and life slowly starts returning to normal. Of course, many places will need extensive lockdowns to

I agree this is bad, but I don't understand why it is. Not an iOS developer but I was under the impression apps can run in the background to maintain Bluetooth connections. Assuming Apple's policies are in fact preventing them fro

This is needlessly cynical. TraceTogether uses client-side logging so as to leave data in the hands of the users up until it's actually needed for contact tracing. Would you suggest that we not have public health departments engage in

I was thinking along similar lines. Maybe it's possible to use BLE for this (don't know if the standard PXP profiles would be applicable or you'd need something else). You could also have app-level 24-hour rolling identifiers

Also, if an affected region locks down well enough and long enough (cf. Hubei: https://miro.medium.com/max/6812/1*pwPIo7U6pBahMZhopHYbMw.pn... ), the number of actual new cases per day may fall to the point where c

I can't make the sense of the author's graphs. Is he plotting daily boardings on both the X and Y axes simultaneously? Aside from bus vs. streetcar, what do the varying colors mean?

Recent Garmin watches and cycling computers also have "incident detection" and can automatically send an alert to your emergency contact(s) after a fall. (I don't think any current Garmin models will directly dial 911, though
