If your definition of 'low-carb diet' includes red meat, cheese, and butter then high cholesterol shouldn't surprise you at all. People should really look at minimizing their intake of animal fats. Both for ethical and health

This is a very well-respected, well-known multi-arm trial 10x the size of US govt (NIAID) studies. It's 6x larger than Dr. Fauci's remdesivir study. It's highlighting a cheap, generic drug; nothing like Remdesivir. It would b

Yeah I think there’s a general lack of understanding that leads inexperienced product people to believe that friction is always bad. Good friction (verifying emails, asking a question in the signup form, collecting a CC upfront) can result

Try adding more good friction to your user acquisition funnel. If someone really wants to try your game, have them sign up with a valid email. It seems counter-intuitive 'Why would I add more work for people who want to use my product?

OP's whole point is it's not a good sample because people were recruited while grocery shopping...I can't think of a more tech industry-oriented view of the world; most people work from home on zoom and use instacart right??

There's little to no data that backs up your guess. Studies on COVID-19 estimate that the true IFR is somewhere between 0.1% to 0.39%...why? Because the more we test, the more we find asymptomatic and mild cases. And we're yet to
