It is no news that two leading technology giants, Google and Apple, they concluded a short-termancand instead of rivalry, they have set themselves the goal of making the world a better place. At least, this noble purpose is reflected in the latest initiative, when the two companies joined forces to create a unique decentralized tracking system that will alert users exposed to the infection and inform them if they have been in contact with an infected person. However, this is far from the end of the collaboration, at least according to Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google.
Only a few months ago, few would have thought that two eternal rivals and at the same time life-and-death competitors, Google and Apple, once they join forces, leave their disputes behind and instead focus on the higher meaning of using technology. This is exactly what happened with the new tracking system, which automatically notifies users who have been in contact with an infected person with a message and at the same time invites them to self-isolate or get tested. The entire concept is also built exclusively on the protection of user data, so no third party can access it and everything is done exclusively on the basis of "nodes" that pass this information to each other without going further into cloudu. The cooperation is also praised by Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, who says that the close cooperation is far from over and he would like to leave room for other similar opportunities and take advantage of them.

"It's always good when big corporations come together and try to make the world a better place. Although the two teams originally working on this technology were separate and didn't interact much, over time we realized that by working together we would go further and the final result would be more valuable. At the same time, we decided that privacy is also key in this regard, and it must not be compromised under any circumstances," said Sundar Pichai. Konec end, the idea for an integrated tracking system originated in the heads of both engineering teams, which gradually found their way to each other. When the CEOs of both companies learned about the initiative, they sat down at the same table and began negotiations. They agreed on key points and the only question was the development itself, with regular meetings between the two teams. Pichai also believes that this cooperation will lead to an improvement in the overall situation, although it is likely that not all users will participate. So all that remains is to wait and see whether Google and Apple they will reap the fruits and embark on a path of greater mutual communion.
…just not that…😱
We will remember this moment one day, but I'm afraid not in a good way...
" have created a unique decentralized tracking system, "
to be able to clean is a need to write about fapplu
I don't understand the negative comments. After all, the article is about the fact that in addition to cooperation on the "coronavirus", there may be other cooperation. For example, improvements to applications that are in both systems, better cooperation between devices across iOS or Android. That's not so bad. I use multiple systems at home and sometimes it's not the smartest.
It doesn't work that way. None of these companies do anything because of "it's better for people". They just make things better for business. Ok, if it just happens to help people, or at least they manage to convince them of it, all the better...
Users imagine privacy in such a way that everything you do is stored only for you and no one else can access it. And why? ProThe sale of that data is causing a lot of laughter.
come on!!! The fucking Google was already making me nervous with its imbecile ads and targeted offers across the entire e-world and that's how it is...🤮 I wonder if they wanted ads for me, we're demented that we need them so much that we don't have our own judgment and decisions??!! ! Yes we are… Too bad.
