Surely 750ms is already in the absurdly slow category?

Testing should perhaps not be done at home, at all. True positives could be sent for PCR testing to confirm whether they are infected or already cleared. Negatives that show symptoms could likewise be sent for PCR testing. This way, you

I'm a little confused at your calculations. With a population size of 1000 and with 0.01% of the population infected (i.e. 1 individual) with this test we'd get 82 false positives and 0.979 true positives. For every true positive

That is correct, though I'm not an epidemiologist. The number is estimated using statistical models, such as SEIR and others. http://www.public.asu.edu/~hnesse/classes/seir.html

You're showing shocking ignorance of psychiatry and the classification of mental disorders, not to mention any of the latest research into ADHD. In the US there is a larger percentage of the population who are diagnosed than in other c

If you further read the article, she went through the standard approval process for changes. She did it by the book. That's hardly "injecting code".

No I highly doubt it. This is most likely as they say a GDPR issue. Per the GDPR they'll have to keep track of which users have agreed to which version of the ToS and Privacy Policy and make sure that they only process their data in ac

I wonder at what is the age (and SD?) that a building is decided to be an historical artifact that we're not allowed to restore? The Giza pyramid, the Acropolis in Athens, and many more like it are just left to decay. But we constantly

The same goes with being tired. While the typical US DUI test does sound stupid, it at least has a chance of catching those who are tired.

While Maemo/MeeGo was cool (Former N900 user here), I doubt it would have succeeded in the long term. It would have been equally difficult to entice developers as it was for the windows phone platform, putting Nokia in the same positio

Pretty much yes. While you can find tech companies that hire exclusively English speakers A LOT of companies require fluent Finnish, even when the internal language is Finnish. Finland is still in many ways a very conservative society.

Or even a control group to whom you offered gift cards for things other than food, phone calls etc. Though I agree with you, sounds suspiciously like the group who was depressed became less depressed as they felt someone cared about them.

You can't spend crypto directly on many things, most need fiat. Currently on ramps and off ramps are still used and can be used to identify suspects.

You very much do. Or rather, there are several companies that do so called blockchain analysis and cluster addresses together in order to identify to whom they belong. They are quite efficient at what they do. If you're unable to ident

It's good to keep in mind that CRISPR is but one technique to do gene splicing, it's not the concept itself. Different ways will be discovered now that it's proven to be viable.
