One of the first sentence on their website is "By default, we do not keep any IP logs". If as soon as police show up (Which is almost the only case that people would want their IP hidden) they give IP logs, it is clearly false adv

I didn't come up to the number 10 because 10 * 11% is about 100%. its just a random guess about small impact measure We know that R of covid in a naive environment is probably more than 4. So any group of measure that dont reduce it 1

You can make a mistake once or two, but if a company like Apple keep pushing for something ( that can hypothetically kill its brand) it is unlikely that it will actually kill the brand.

You are probably not random, I just added the word to make the message clear. There is no authorities of branding, it is just that there are people who are paid for that, and it is very unlikely that shareholders will let Apple do things th

At the end of the day if the reduction is 11%, even if that works (because that reduce by 11%) that is still useless in order to control the epidemic. Unless we find 10 measures like that. But what they show is probably not the same that th

It is especially true because it is much faster to write an email than to create a piece of documentation. Even more because of the state of corporate knowledge sharing tools. But yeah at the end of the day, there is no easy fix, it has to

So it just doesn't give any benefit. Reducing the risk of something which is already close to zero, is still 0. If we follow your argument, why not take the vaccine ten times ? The excess mortality of people under 49 years in a country

Sorry I meant role instead of group. Ah so tags are tied to a role, all good then. But you could still give permissions for a role through a tag. Like Someone in "Engineering" role can apply a "source-code" tag to a file

The system described in the article is pretty good. But why restrict tags to have only users and not let include groups ( all users of a group)? Also the issue with tags is that if you don't tied them to another structuring object ther
