I don’t use it and this is a android problem “privacy sandbox” is anything else , in the past you would have to install there spyware onto your phone to be spied on. Now any app can contain spyware bundles to run at a system level and collect user data from beyond just the app but from all apps installed on your device.

On the surface it’s probably a really good deal for those that would normally not be able to afford basic medical care. But it’s amazon so it will just end in exploitation somehow

Who gives a fuck about Gates ideas. Uber rich mf’r that hasn’t really been relevant since 1983. Money and exposure doesn’t mean shit. Your OS won? Doesn’t make you an expert on anything else outside of poor support and getting rich from worldwide monopoly.

Ya but also most that stuff is open source and the actual android package lets you know what permissions are going to be used.

Open up a web browser you found on fdroid and it prompts for permission to always listen to audio? Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that probably isn't a wise decision.

Also probably nobody is going to read the source code, but you can...

> and allow opt-out any time

The problem with this is in the domestic violence or stalking situation is that it becomes known to the other person that the AirTag has stopped sharing. (It doesn't matter if it happens through notification or the AirTag disappears from the other person's screen.)

Until the person stops sharing their AirTag the location is shared with the other person and so leads to some point where the AirTag sharing is then turned off.

One way around this is to allow a scramble AirTag location, whereby the person can press a button and the AirTag location is reported as somewhere random and different.

When I was in college the Microsoft evangelists would come giving talks and gifting everyone in attendance physical Xbox games, and they were so desperate to get the store going that they'd beg for us to develop any app. One guy even said that we could just clone the example calculator app, change the name and the logo and upload it like that.

So to describe Entanglement we have to understand that fundamental particles. Like electrons are not like a tiny pellets with a negative charge, but represent a point where an electron feild is exited or has a bit more energy. Visualize a droplet hitting a pond. These feilds can have different states. It can have a twist that gives particles a form of angular momentum like a gyroscope. But in multiple directions.

Because of this knowing where a particle is how fast its moving or its spin direction isnt possible. And measuring one property effects the particle so the others cant be measured.

Now Entanglement happens when two particles interact or 1 particle decays into two. The universe insists that everything is conserved so if particle a is spinning one way. Then particle b must have the opposite.

This means when we measure a property of particle A we know what that same property is on particle B Now because you can only know one aspect of a particle if you are measuring say up or down spin on A you can't find out the left and right spin. What's weird is the particles seem to be connected and measuring particles a also effects particle B. Its like the can communicate with each other. And the understanding of why or how the do this represents the bleeding edge of physics.

It saves so much time when coding, it's a staple for me already. It will for sure cut into google searches and stack overflow visits.

I have to agree. One thing to note, Gates is not a visionary. He is a ruthless business man who leveraged his position (given a monopoly by IBM because his mom and dad had connections). He missed networks (said sneaker net was enough) he thought he could monetize emails because they 'passed' through his servers, thought the internet would never work because everyone would want to use MSN.

I believe that the only reason the internet exists is because MS was convicted of conspiracy and antitrust violations during the Clinton admin. This prevented them from forcing the crap tech IE down peoples throats.

No one should listen to him. He is a parasite who never contributed anything but drag on the advancement of technology. Hell, he bought the original DOS from Tim Patterson for 45K (his mother's money).

The companies he destroyed are legion; Stack, DBase, Sybase (I was there when they locked the Sybase people out because MS stole their code).

They tried to eliminate Java and all non MS web technologies. ActiveX was a shit show, I wrote an entire journal about it I(please inquire if interested).

Gates is much like Edison. A parasite who exploits the accomplishments of others and claims them as his own.

I want this old man to just go away.

I don’t argue with strangers on the interwebs but you are free to look up Beer’s Law or reference any college level physics or chemistry text book. This is not an obscure theory known only by academics. It’s a pretty useful tool that has allowed a lot of current blood analysis equipment to be designed to measure various components quite accurately. Here is an article that summarizes some of the current limitations.
