Re:Singapore to Open Source Bluetooth Contact Tracing on Friday March 27, 2020 @12:28PM (#22704282)
I think in these extraordinary times, it’s nice to see the government proactively trying to do more to counteract the worst pandemic the country has ever seen. As much as we might all cry foul over the curtailing of freedom, there is a lot to be said in this current environment about contact tracers immediately knowing who a known covid carrier has come in contact with, which in turn means a speedier response from the medical teams.

That being said though, the app is absolute garbage on iPhone. Obviously not really their fault, but needing to have the app actively on for it to work is absolutely going to lead to people not bothering to turning it on.

Every time I see deep sea creatures being filmed with bright white light I always wonder if that leaves them permanently blind.

The article was kinda meh but the blog it's on is actually really interesting if you're into medieval books. Lost quite a bit of time today just browsing.

Ah, my bad, I must have completely missed it. As a personal data point, I usually like to see how much a service can potentially cost me before signing up. Have you given some thought about maybe floating the price somewhere on the front page?
