Still worried about a government that stopped being in power over a decade ago? It is odd that the people who most want to return us to 1950s mentality and 'values' are also the ones who seem to think we should worry about the actions of governments from the past affecting our lives today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfred84 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Government have not been in contact with the team that have developed open source software which google and apple apps have been built on lol. They wanted data and found out how hard it was to develop to lol api on both platform obviously apple harder than google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even need the 'h' in 'chancers' to accurately describe this government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfred84 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thing i don't get is it is not a left or right issue or politics is human issue that this government has been inept. The chancers have got rid of the tories that would have had an idea and the biggest person to blame is an unelected adviser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it? Cos so far it doesn't actually exist so nobody actually know whether it works with Android And you can poll people to see if they'd download it The other advantage of working with Apple and Google is they could potentially make it a core app - So that they would make it a feature of all future OS versions - You can't make people use it but you can make it part of their system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say 'worked' was the correct word here - 75% accuracy isn't great: The centralised version trialled on the Isle of Wight worked well at assessing the distance between two users, but was poor at recognising Apple's iPhones. Specifically, the software registered about 75% of nearby Android handsets but only 4% of iPhones. By contrast, the Apple-Google model logged 99% of both Android mobiles and iPhones. But its distance calculations were weaker. In some instances, it could not differentiate between a phone in a user's pocket 1m (3.3ft) away and a phone in a user's hand 3m (9.8ft) away. So yeh - I'd still say it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It previously stated that Faculty and Palantir were involved in developing the NHS contact tracing app; these are among the tech companies working with the NHS on the Covid-19 Datastore but not known to be working on the contact tracing app.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to be a lot of trouble if it can't accurately report distances and they try and insist that you self isolate having come into contact with them, when you might not have got any closer than 3 metres away.

1of4 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 So the government are funding schools with an extra billion pounds, to help children who have missed out on their education. One of the proposed schemes that this money will pay for, is one to one tutoring of pupils that have been disadvantaged during lockdown. This all sounds very good but where are they going to find all the extra trained teachers that will be needed to carry this out? Or will it be done by untrained staff, that are supplied by a private company. Wonder who'll get that contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
