contact tracing + massive testing. It is unclear to me why this wasn't doable in more countries but this has been one of the very few winning strategies. (not trying to be malicious here, I admit that I don't know the logistics o

to be fair, if nothing had been done, it is pretty likely that the surge of deaths would have trashed the economy just as well. Not that I disagree that the US response has been among the worst .. and the bar is pretty low with only a handf

not at all. Drug use has one victim : the user. Time and time again it has been shown that legalization and cure are far more efficient and cost less to society but still many countries cling to the idea that beating up somebody who is down

it seems to be credential stuffing anyway, so unless you use the same password for every website (unfortunately lots of people do), you should be safe.

I doubt they store credit card data (who does that ?). Last 4 digits would be to display "Your Visa -5555" in a payment method picker

I remember this in the first place I worked at. Damn that was bad. Lots of positives in how that huge company handle tech but speed was not one. Since then I have only worked for startups. Everything is not rosy but we execute very quickly.

Funny that you mention DMCA because the beginning of your comment immediately reminded me of that shit show. It is already a shame on Youtube, it would be so much worse on google search.

oh wow, I need to go look at how this works. The people that created pocketcast implemented the same feature and as I remember it it is pretty wild implementation wise.

I wonder how long this is going to stay up ? Google can't be too happy that people access their service without paying either with eyeball time for advertisers or money for Youtube Red or whatever it is called today

I don't use Rust (super interested in rectifying that someday though, especially to replace the ruby we use in our server) but I have the same compile time issue with bytecode on Android. I used to be the kind of dev who compiles every

A good sdk means that it is both quick to implement and that it can integrate with the OS account feature (meaning users only have to authentify once for their apple account)

Not to mention that it also needs to account for science advancing one funeral at a time. How to distinguish between real flaws or just a good theory that is not yet taken seriously ?

Also, even if they support it, it does not look like Apple has released an app or SDK for Android. So there would be no apple account registered on the phone. So each app wanting to implement apple login would have to : - pretty much implem

If you feel that philanthropy has a negative connotation, in this context another word for it would be social justice (which it totally is).

Another problem is that most users don't know what Android is and even less what version they are using. If anything, a new update changing anything in the UX might be met with negativity. So OEMs have even less reasons to care sadly.
