First look at Apple/Google contact tracing framework:
— Moxie Marlinspike (@moxie) April 10, 2020
1) Once a day, your device derives a new key ("daily tracing key").
2) It uses that to derive a new "proximity ID" every time your device's bluetooth address changes (15min), which is broadcast to nearby BT sensors.

We have no option but to extend the lockdown beyond April 14. This will go on till at least April 30. I am stressing on the word at least because it all depends on our social discipline and not crowding areas like markets.

The Fed is going to be buying HY bonds! In addition now to the muni market and investment grade. Equities come next, I am sure. The Fed has followed the ECB, which had already followed the BoJ. As Powell’s picture goes on the hundred dollar bill, gold is going a lot higher.

But I cannot fathom how the Supreme Court can order this. On what legal constitutional basis?
This is the Executive’s decision, not the Judiciary’s.

This animal is a kind of jelly, called a siphonophore. It's made of millions of interconnected clones, like if the Borg and the Clone Wars had a baby together. There are about a dozen different jobs a clone can do in the colony, & each clone is specialized to a particular task...

Check out this beautiful *giant* siphonophore Apolemia recorded on #NingalooCanyons expedition. It seems likely that this specimen is the largest ever recorded, and in strange UFO-like feeding posture.

We’re getting better. But it’s taken more than two weeks to say that, and that was with the “mild” version, meaning no trouble breathing. This virus is absolutely brutal. “Mild” is not mild by any normal definition. Thread: 1/x
