Apple-Google Exposure Notification system worthless due to privacy policies, health expert...
Why are companies pretending that they don't know about us? I mean, Google, Facebook, Twitter, are selling our information to advertisers but they don't know where we've been?
Taiwan and South Korea are doing contact tracing by subpoena cellphone companies, using smartphone's unique IMEI numbers and got a list of GPS location and timestamps. Why aren't we doing this in the US? For anyone who don't corporate, they'd threaten to publish the names and so far everyone seemed to corporate. -

Editorial: How Steve Jobs' 'Thoughts On Flash' gave iPad a head start in tablets
As a Flash Developer at the time, it was a shock that Apple decided not to support Flash at the height of its popularity. But looking back, Flash was getting bloated and complex to support on various platforms. We've tried a few un-official hacks and that port Flash on iOS, the performance were horrible. I'm glad I've decided to move away from Flash development back in 2010. -

Apple Pay abruptly dropped by JCPenney, is no longer accepted in store [u]
There could be a very simple reason: cost.
It costs consumers nothing to use Apple Pay. It may cost the merchant almost nothing for each transactions. But if JCPenny switched to a 3rd party payment processors that either don't have ApplePay as part of their offerings, or offers ApplePay as a costly add-on. Maybe Apple Pay will not be ready for another 6 months for this new vendor (OmniPayments) but JCPenny don't want people know about the switch.
