As far as I understood the apps are designed to measure time of being near someone as well. I think within X meters for Y minutes (based on how often the bluetooth pings are exchanged). This also has basis in virology where rate of infectio

I worked on an academic open source Java project following my BSc and after years of MSc + industry experience as backend dev, I cringe really hard at what I produced back then. So hard in fact, that I am about to invest time to fix that me

Steve Jobs always sounded like his actions as CEO were based on reason, despite being harsh and interfering (let's leave the whole fruitarian-cancer thing out for a second). To me it made the impression that he could at least reason as

Because it carries the "Pro" label. Why not just call it Macbook then? Why release what is essentially 2 products under one label, confusing consumers. It's predatory because Apple charges way too much for way too little when

Enterprise software is often the epitome of being removed from the results and the fruits of your work, it's a prime example of what Marx was talking about. You can write unit tests and Spring components with 64 character names all day

Where it doesn't matter that the maxed out specs at which point you can call the machine "Pro" cost something like €3000? I'm sorry, but 8GB LPDDR3 and 256GB SSD with 2 USB-C ports and jet engine fans aren't really

This and "why is it DDR3 and therefore why is it a Gen8 CPU?" and "why is the storage so bad?" (256GB base is doubled now but still laughable) and "why cant you just drop the useless TouchBar or at least offer that

I enjoy my Macbook a lot but I wonder when people will crack and not shove money into Apple's behind for "premium" machines with so many flaws. I love my MBP but its issues make me feel like €1000 less and I'd be perfect

Probably have hard-coded screen paint calculations for typical macOS and a need for massive multi-year refactor to allow non-typical screen sizes (e.g. 1cm more when removing the bezels on 13"). Semi-sarcasm.

Just to put out a reference here because I have seen numbers in German news yesterday. Alcohol sales for wine and beer are up around 20-30%. In grocery stores. But is that really a hint at overall alcohol sales growing? For me, I know I b

I have used it privately in small groups and it had a few issues. People dropping out, constant sound issues and duplicate people entering. I have no experience with 80-300 people (interactive events mostly, sometimes division-wide meetings

I am a fairly young consultant and have initially advocated against Zoom due to the glaring privacy issues. Obviously to no avail. Nobody cares. People just want to open a service and have it work and Zoom excels at that. As Teams was alrea

The Pixel Buds look nice, but the page stutters like absolute hell while the AirPods page moves like butter (Firefox 76). Must be a subtle reference to their mobile operating systems.

D. Build a product intro that doesn't stutter during scrolling like Terminator after having its wires fried (FF v76).

Nobody is taking the approach of herd immunity except some political figures who try to gain from the crisis (Armin Laschet, CDU, in particular).

So 2 days ago, we received the news that the first human trials on a vaccines by a biotech firm from Mainz have gotten approval by the Paul Ehrlich Institute [1] as well in Germany. Good news, let's all work together to kick this thin

Btw - thank you for working hard at making this smooth. My SO had a 6S until 2 months ago and only during iOS 11 it was not smooth. iOS 12 and 13 were perfect and apart from the camera she says she kind of misses the 6S for its smaller form

But that is precisely the point the parent is trying to make, no? The tech was in no way ready and able to do these things, so Google Glass had to appeal in a broader, non-focused way which is one of the issues that broke its neck.

It's better to do the right thing than the correct thing and this man will be able to live with himself throughout his pension instead of having a heavy conscience weigh him down. From all I could gather from Europe, I believe he acted

This is a general problem of antibody tests and precisely the reason why people should not buy those from any retailer (you can in fact do so online or in pharmacies). Unreliable and non-specific. Let's wait for the development of spe

Big opportunity for other nations to step in and exploit the continent further, just like China with its "influence, military bases and resources in return for jobs and infrastructure" projects. Maybe some European projects? But I

Can we stop calling this free healthcare? It's not free. It's just vastly better organized in a way that (largely) protects consumers from capitalism where it doesn't belong.

Yea, economic theories that all assume that consumers are rational actors. Thank you, next.

Worse even, you can't pick up a Samsung flagship for trial in the store without the interface stuttering like crazy - at least if you're used to iOS. Same with LG, Sony and others. The only smooth Android I have ever tried was Hua

Non-medical view: this sounds a bit like a sudden switch is happening at one point. In COVID-19 cases, large areas of the lungs (article states 60% as an example) may be affected and only mild symptoms experienced until some point in time.

Zoom is by far the best usable conferencing software. Its security flaws are irrelevant to most users as the pain of using anything else is awful. It's always a major drawback. People in the real world care as much about Jitsi as about
