My understanding is they added this for legal reasons. Users were not aware Instagram and WhatsApp were owned by Facebook and legislators had issue with that.

This is interesting, and is reflected in some other comments, but I have always gone under the assumption that you will only learn things once so it is best to learn them the corre…

I guess now is the time to look into how to root the console and install a custom ROM in a similar fashion to de-Googling your android phone. There is already enough support in the…

Write to your MP. Not that they will do anything - Maybe you'll be luckier than me and wont get a canned response about how they are "working hard to stop this" without taking acti…

https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Canada/ Just be aware, the data is supposed to be in USD, but some people may still be reporting CAD.

Bit late to the party. I checked out thebrowser.com but there is no mention of the subscription cost anywhere - it seems they won't tell you until you give them your email. Would y…

That does not seem to line up with their cryptography specification, which is where I am getting my information from. Thank you for mentioning this

If you have a Bluetooth receiver logging the different IDs you've come in proximity with and when, its easy to deduce who the positive user is by who you were in proximity of at th…

If a user is in close confinement with someone they fear will lash out at them if they test positive, for one. Off the top of my head, lets say you take an Uber home and the driver…

I appreciate you looking at the other side. To explain my view point, in this system it seems like all of the risk is put on the infected party who reports themselves. By decreasin…

The protocol states that it will upload the Diagnosis Keys, a set of Daily Tracing Keys relevant to your exposure. So in short, if this is the case it forces the user to either upl…

I think its important to give the power to the people by allowing them to omit tokens from sensitive time points. In the current protocol, that means losing a whole days worth of c…

Emailing you now.

The issue is, if your putting the risk on infected users, what is the benefit to them to release their tokens? They are already at risk, this just makes them bigger targets.

So all of the tokens are being put on a central server. Today, governments use WiFi and Bluetooth to track traffic. It is not far fetched to see that your commute from point A to B…

The difference is that the old system relied on human memory which is fallible, not to mention you can omit details which would lead to further trouble (infidelities for one). In t…

The unlinked DP-3T is one extreme, there is a happy medium if developers don't want to use Cuckoo Filters or Bloom Filters due to false positives, which is to decrease the linkable…

It should be noted that your privacy is not preserved if you test positive and need to upload your Daily Tracing Keys to a server. Your broadcast IDs for an entire day can be linke…

This is definitely by design. The Cuckoo Filter relies on hashes of the input so there is a chance of collisions. My understanding is a Cuckoo Filter is a recent extension of a Blo…

Thank you! That is really nice to hear.

There are some differences. DP-3T proposes two different systems, one with linkable tokens and the other without linkable tokens. The first system is similar to Apple-Google in the…

Given the importance, I didn’t want to rely on google translate.

Is there an english translation of this?
