The author tried this treatment on herself. I was unable to find data associated with this self-experiment, such as lactate measurements on multiple days while applying the treatment. Is there another article I missed that covered this?

Very disappointing that the top comment on this article is COVID misinformation. The forcry account was created 3 weeks ago and specializes in COVID misinformation. No, CDC isn’t messing with the tests like this. And all this fancy talk abo

Imagine the CDC yelling: "Don't throw that away! I need more details! Please! If you won't finish the job, please let me do that work!" That's my translation of the document I found when looking into this issue. Mor

If each phone generated 500 numbers per day, then TimeIntervalNumber is a number in the range of 1...500. So generate 500 codes using all of the numbers in that range. If any of those 500 codes match one of the codes that you actually saw i

Think of the daily key as the seed to a random number generator. If two people pass the same seed into the same random number generator, they can generate the same list of 500 random numbers. This provides a compact way for someone to say:

The approach outlined by Apple and Google is very similar to, and likely based on, the TCN protocol developed by a coalition of open source projects. If you'd like to discuss possible vulnerabilities and propose further improvements, t

The main idea of this article is to use what you already know and just get it done, rather than experimenting with new tools. The author already knew how to use most of these tools from a previous job. He stuck with the technology that he a

All interesting points. Even without them, Phoenix does great in this benchmark. My takeaways from this article were: 1) Phoenix and Rails are clear winners on API. 2) Rails performance is unacceptable, which makes its nice API irrelevant.
