    The most damaging hurricanes rely heavily on warm water over their last 2-3 days before landfall. Suppose we focused these bright cloud emitters on the water in front of a tropical…

    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 m…

    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 th…

    I’m part of the CoEpi project, one of the member projects of the TCN Coalition. I see that some of my teammates are searching through the OpenTrace code to see if anything there is…

    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 rand…

    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 possi…
