LjLi have the vague suspicion that Jigsy is talking about the UK and ryouma about the US. maybe we could just agree that governments suck and leave it at that?00:00
ryoumai am talking about the uk00:01
ryoumathe us also, quite possibly00:01
ryoumabut not only about covid00:01
ryouma(in fact not about covid, so never mind)00:02
LjLmy bad00:10
dTalI don't agree that governments suck00:18
dTalI quite like laws and roads and stuff00:18
LjLyou're such an ananarchist :(00:22
BrainstormNew from Medical Xpress: Last-resort life support option helped majority of critically ill COVID-19 patients survive: It saved lives in past epidemics of lung-damaging viruses.

LjLEngland and Wales coronavirus contact tracing app released https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.nhs.covid19.production01:17
metroWhat took so long?01:19
LjLwell they started out wanting to write a standalone app of their own and refusing to use the Google&Apple framework01:20
LjLthen they changed their mind (because it simply wouldn't really work on iPhones otherwise)01:20
LjLso i believe the version they released now does use the framework, assuming it isn't different depending on whether you're using Android or iOS01:21
LjLso they wrote it twice, that probably took so long01:21
LjLi am honestly not thrilled that those two companies have so much power over governments, even though the end result might (citation needed) be a more privacy-preserving mechanism01:22
metroSounds wonderfully efficient01:26
LjLFrance did the same thing01:26
metroCanada was the same thing, basically spent money developing an API Apple turned around and opened01:27
LjLother countries, like Italy, were initially going to go their own way too, but they changed their mind faster01:27
LjLApple's API is by no means open though01:27
metrowell the backend is available to some degree to enable bluetooth tracing01:28
LjLnot for any definition of open i can think of except "it is known that it exists and it is known what its calls are (although you can only use them if you're a qualifying government)"01:28
metronobodies using it here01:28
LjLlots of people are using it here, although i cannot be more specific than "lots of"01:28
LjLi recorded about 3000 bluetooth beacons during a day where i went out for a couple of hours01:28
metrogovernment apps have access to an api that allows them to use your bluetooth in an always on manner for precise location tracking01:28
LjLnot exactly01:29
metrobasically 01:29
LjLfirst, *location* tracking is explicitly out of the question01:29
LjLno01:29
metrolocation relative to other devices01:30
LjLGoogle and Apple are specifically *banning* use of this API together with any location data01:30
LjLno, location relative to random IDs that you cannot trace to devices01:30
metrothis is what governments accessed01:30
metroour system is: if you have a positive diagnosis you enter a code in your phone and anyone who has been in proximity to you is alerted01:30
LjLgovernments don't really access anything, governments run server that host a list of pseudonymous IDs they can do nothing with (unless someone finds a flaw in the protocol), except for sending them to all the phones running this, and then *those phones* can use those IDs to determine if they were exposed or not (information that the government doesn't get)01:31
LjLmetro, "anyone who has been in proximity to you is alerted" is correct but somewhat misleading, because it makes it sound like the government's servers know whom to alert01:31
metroit's access to the api which allows that to which I'm referring01:31
LjLthey don't01:31
stickwith the ss7 hole in the phones all infomation on it is open for anyone01:31
metroI didn't say anything about government accessing the information they use an api exposed by apple and google01:32
LjLyou said a lot of things that could easily be construed as something they aren't01:32
LjLlike "precise location tracking"01:32
LjLthere is no such thing in this API. if there can be by means of the SS7 hole well that's nothing related to this API01:32
metroprecise to within a few feet of other devices yes01:32
LjLokay, again, who has access to this information?01:33
stickhttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/19/ss7-hack-explained-mobile-phone-vulnerability-snooping-texts-calls01:33
metrothe government has access to an api 01:33
stickfrom overseas01:33
LjLaccording to the Guardian's description of that vulnerability, "Hackers can read text messages, listen to phone calls and track mobile phone users’ locations"01:34
LjLhow does that relate to whether or not your have the exposure notification API active?01:34
LjLhow does it change anyone's ability to track mobile phone users' locations, if that is already there?01:35
metrooh it certainly doesn't01:35
metrothere is an android app, I think shared here?, that enables you to use the api to see all the bluetooth devices in range but that's hardly revolutionary01:36
LjLanyhow, this got all long-winded and into barely related matters, but the main thing is that many governments, i assume including Canada, simply hoped that Apple (and Google, but that's less important) would give their apps the ability to "use your bluetooth in an always-on manner". like, directly, no questions asked. instead, Apple refused to do that, and provided this API which is much more limited in what it allows: the app doesn't get direct Bluetooth 01:36
LjLaccess, it cannot do normal things that Bluetooth-accessing apps do01:36
LjLmetro, i posted that app, if you mean this01:37

LjLhowever, as you say, it's absolutely nothing revolutionary to see other bluetooth devices in range01:37
metroso it can't steer your car? shame, it would have been great to get the crims vehicales to take them directly to the police stations01:37
LjLthat's a long shot to claiming there is "precise location tracking" by anyone of anyone01:37
metroan embellishment 01:37
LjLi'm disengaging from this conversation as you're talking red herrings. i am aware there are vulnerabilities left and right but that has very little to do with what this API is or isn't, does or doesn't do.01:38
LjLand, consequently, with COVID.01:39
stickhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/24/close-to-100-accuracy-airport-enlists-sniffer-dogs-to-test-for-covid-1901:41
LjLsaw that. it's not just a novelty, i've seen some papers about it months ago already, i think it could actually work out pretty well01:47
metrocool01:47
LjLmaybe the ultimate in quick testing, better than even what tinwhiskers is pushing ;P01:47
metroLOL01:47
LjLdogs scare me a bit so i wouldn't like to be sniffed up close but then again there are a lot of things i don't like at airports01:48
metroYeah I'm as well in Canada we use friendly dogs at the airports, so smaller and less intimidating breeds01:49
JigsyDon't dogs catch COVID?01:49
JigsyOr was that cats?01:49
metroCats01:49
metroWell several cats, not clear how many01:49
JigsyINB4 the Canine strain.01:50
metroCanine-1901:50
LjLdogs can catch it too but "weakly", it seems01:51
LjLand importantly they haven't been shown to pass it on01:51
LjLcats have01:51
metrothat's right01:52
stickany animal can pass something on01:53
stickbats birds01:53
stickbugs01:53
metrobugs can't sneeze on you01:54
metrobut they could have it on their exterior I guess01:54
stickbut they can touch you01:54
stickand touch can spread any virus01:55
LjLstick, "something", maybe, but i'm talking about COVID specifically. it's perfectly possible that the virus doesn't reproduce enough in dogs (since they only test "weakly" positive) to pose a concrete risk of giving you a viral load capable of infecting you01:57
stickcovid is touch spread01:59
stickliquid infections low risk01:59
LjLuh, that's not true02:00
sticknot 100% true02:00
LjLcovid is definitely spread by the famous droplet and i'd say enough evidence has accumulated (ages ago already, if you ask me) that it's airborne to some more meaningful extent02:00
LjLwell, it's not very true at all. "touch" has barely been shown to be an issue (although it could certainly be, and better safe than sorry), while transmission via the air has definitely been shown02:01
stickpeople with covid spread it with it spread it without signs of infection02:02
stickeven the temp can be fine 02:03
LjLyes02:03
LjLbut what does that have to do with touch?02:03
stickwithout any other factors to spread it what your form of transmission 02:04
LjL*the air*02:04
LjLbreathing, speaking02:04
LjLsinging. coughing is probably worse, but not necessary02:05
stickso if they dont breath your safe02:05
LjLwhy do you think anyone sane is wearing masks? masks aren't about touch02:05
LjLyes, if you don't breathe for long periods of time, i suspect you can't get COVID02:06
stickunless you touch something02:06
