It's likely that we'll have a vaccine or at least some kind of treatment by the end of the year, so this should improve the prospects quite a bit.

Nice landing page. If you Google "summarizer", you will find dozens of similar services for free. The mechanism behind it is very simple. A couple a years ago I built one from scratch in about 2 hours, then I accidentally deleted

Shorts are really good for...well, short-term betting. Sustaining a short position even just medium-term, is extremely expensive.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the secret behind this kind of success is just properly designing experiments. Again, if this were true, the best founders would be data scientists. But they're not. They are visionaries.

I always wondered how some companies can rely exclusively on data like A/B testing to make decisions. Isn't that incredibly slow? In my experience there are thousands of decisions to make every year in a high growth company and th
