This is pretty incredible! I'm excited to see some of the innovative projects that public health agencies build around this. I applaud Google and Apple for collaborating on a single API that opens a new information channel out to the public (billions of devices!) and could imagine a future where real-time contact tracing inspires enough confidence in people/businesses to get things moving again provided the proper precautions are in place. I also hope we don't get over confident because of tools like these and blink first.
Couple of other interesting changes listed in the notes:
Face ID and Passcode
Simplified unlock process for devices with Face ID when you are wearing a face mask
Passcode field automatically presented after swiping up from the bottom of the Lock screen when you are wearing a face mask
Also works when authenticating with the App Store, Apple Books, Apple Pay, iTunes, and other apps that support signing in with Face ID
FaceTime
Option to control automatic prominence on Group FaceTime calls so video tiles do not change size when a participant speaks
Emergency Services
Option to automatically share health and other essential information from your Medical ID with emergency services when you place an emergency call (US only)
The first two make my life easier and the third is helpful. Thank you.
While the individual questions may be (for the most part) purged of any cultural bias, family income remains the primary demographic correlated with test performance.
Hey... made a HN account just to reply you.
Just wanted to say that what you wrote very much so resonated with me, or probably more so, me at a point in the past.
If you ever feel like you just need to talk, please reach out. Sleep is actually always a good thing and once you get on a decent schedule there’s nothing better than a solid 8 hours.
Personally, I always feel a lot more in touch with who I know I am, whether that’s the best version of myself or not, after consistent rest. Would love for you to someday find the same.
