Nothing is mentioned about anyone actually trying to access the URI. I don't think their server would have used that filepath.

I imagine the plaintiff simply assumed it was legitimate without investigation, i.e. it was a successful troll.

He really didn't handle the explanation of the joke properly...

I think they're planning to get the best of both worlds and capture a POV of the rescue.

He did expressly state "vibe and feeling."

Wow, that's a 3-4 order of magnitude difference.

I prefer token over name, otherwise I think it's decent.

Here's my crack at it for fun:

Exposure Notification apps are a privacy preserving technology to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

They don't collect or log any location data which is what makes them private.

Instead, a phone equipped with the app will continuously log and broadcast random tokens that change every 15 minutes.

Nearby phones with the app will take note of the token and the signal strength, while broadcasting a token of their own.

Each day the app downloads a public list of tokens that have been shared by people who have tested positive for COVID-19.

If your phone has been around a number of these tokens, it will notify you to get tested and self-isolate.

If you test positive for COVID-19 yourself, your doctor will give you a key to enter into the app. Entering the key will upload your tokens to the public list.

While exposure notification apps do preserve privacy, they are limited in effectiveness without widespread adoption. Additionally they are not a suitable replacement for traditional contact tracing.

I assumed this would be an append-only/timelock backup solution for ransomware.

It's a bit controversial to call moka pots espresso makers, tho I do adore them and their coffee.

FWIW the iPhone 5s from Fall 2013 is still receiving regular security updates.
