Most of the effects of administering testosterone (at least to men with clinically low levels) take weeks or months to appear. For example, interest in sex takes 3+ weeks to increase. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar

Not really disagreeing with the main thrust of your comment, but there’s also some selection bias at work. Uncontacted tribes will tend to live in the least productive spaces, since more productive spaces would have already been colonized b

I think spenrose is saying “We shouldn’t be upvoting this” or maybe “I hope newspapers don’t report on this like it’s a clear, solid answer”, not “This paper is flawed in ways that the authors didn’t recognize”. Personally I’m fine with thi

Your comment is the only one I’ve seen cite data so far. I couldn’t quickly find that study. Can you cite it? I did find this reference to a more qualitative but I think still useful study: https://www.foodnavigator-latam.com&#x2

This reminded me of the delightful David Foster Wallace bit: There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two

I believe you’re thinking of a different startup, Grid, from the YC S12 batch. Howie was a YC alum from a previous batch, but Airtable didn’t go through YC. (I was in the YC S12 batch and am friends with Howie)

Hiyo. Cofounder of Statwing (YC S12) here. We make an easy-to-use statistical analysis tool, and we were acquired by Qualtrics in 2016 (and rebranded as "Stats iQ").[1] There's a lot of situations where I could imagine prefer

I find the elephant curve explanation compelling. But I’m not sure it’s fair to then say there’s nothing that can be done to mitigate the impact of that. Rich Scandinavian countries, for example, have a more redistributive tax system that a

I used it work in that world (specifically effectivephilanthropy.org). Givewell is and was one of my favorite organizations. This group appears to be affiliated and think similarly. I do not believe you are being naive, I think this is a ve

These things are always underresearched, but there's more evidence than just this. For example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/11399518/ https://www.researchgate.net/profile/E

I had Reye syndrome without having taken aspirin. Obviously one person commenting doesn't disprove your point at all. But it's an odd feeling to be that person.

The original paper only covered free throws as one of three examples of the hot hand fallacy. The other examples were of shooting in the normal run of play. http://node101.psych.cornell.edu/sec/pubPeople/tdg1/

The takeaway from this research wasn't "this is all in people's heads", it's "there's something else about wheat that has a negative impact on some folks; science's best guess has been that it's

Gusto makes me so happy. The feeling of a dozen nasty government tax forms being filled out in a couple clicks is sublime. From my perspective, it's an absurdly good deal for the money. Not sure if this context matters, but there were

I'm not aware of any one resource like that (though if you like that, you might find examine.com interesting; it's very neutral, and doesn't always hew to the beliefs of any one diet). Here's one about saturated fat: ht

Sorry, we don't. My understanding, though, is that the typical statistical measures of normality (e.g., Kolmogorov–Smirnov) aren't really that effective, and the best way to assess normality is a visual inspection of a Q-Q plot. I

The prediction interval thing was sloppy, good catch. The r^2 and AICR comments reflect the fact that these docs were built around Statwing's regression capabilities, which default to m-estimation instead of OLS. There's no adjust

We wrote a couple docs about regression. I'd be curious to get folks' feedback. Guide itself: http://docs.statwing.com/user-friendly-guide-to-regression/ Perhaps more interestingly to a lot of folks in this c

Right, sorry. Basically that you feel way better, unmistakably better (mood, concentration, alertness, that sort of thing). Not super scientific, but effective at least in my case.

A good test for whether you're hypoglycemic is to set an alarm to go off every waking hour for three days, and eat a handful of nuts (or something else with a low glycemic load) every time the alarm goes off. I did this and felt waaaaa

I wonder how much of the growth in valuations in the early rounds (given birken/df07's comments) is explained by the "Seed is the new Series A" phenomenon[1]. It's very challenging to make sense of all this. You can

I think there's a lot of truth to that, but the one thing it leaves out of the analysis is the opportunity to exit via acquisition. I don't have a sense of what proportion of companies that might previously have had an IPO would i
