Kontaktverfolgung: Entwicklerversion
„First version of Apple and Google’s contact tracing API should be available to developers next week – The first version of Apple and Google’s jointly developed, cross-platform contact tracing API should be available to developers as of next week, according to a conversation between Apple CEO Tim Cook and European Commissioner for internal market Thierry Breton. … The rollout of the contact tracing system is happening in two parts: First, the API is being made available to developers – that’s the part that’s happening next week. This phase was originally set for a mid-May release, but it sounds like the companies have stepped up their timeline (at least on the Apple side) based on this conversation between Breton and Cook. … The second part of the plan is issuing a system update to build in contact tracing at the OS level. … Note that the second phase isn’t expected until sometime later this year, but the early arrival of the first version of the API for developers is a promising sign that suggests both companies are focusing considerable effort and resources on getting this to market.“

Slack will Freelancer binden
„Slack delays the reopening of its offices until September, but commits to continuing to pay contractors and hourly workers their regular wages – While other tech companies have also committed to paying their hourly and contract workers during this time, Slack’s potential reopening date of September 1 would likely make it the longest period any tech company has committed to yet. – Slack made the decision to make the delay because it means „less exposure for our employees, fewer invasive distancing measures in offices, less disruption for customers, and greater flexibility in weathering a potential second wave of the virus,“ SVP of people Robby Kwok said in a blog post. – Slack’s announcement also comes as the company has seen record usage due to the spike in remote work – adding 9,000 new customers in the first half of the quarter.“
