The author was giving that as an example of a complicated diet that might not help as much as "the obvious".

Doesn't Python already do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shQtrn1v7sQ

It seems that they increase blood pressure by giving rats a high-salt diet.

Watch this channel to get an explanation to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3lHHnOHyr8. Statins work. Reduce your cholesterol.

Here there is a video explaining these results (and why you shouldn't increase your cholesterol): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3lHHnOHyr8

This doesn't mean you should increase your cholesterol.

Low cholesterol (hypocholesterolemia) is commonly observed in critically ill patients. This could be driving the correlation and doesn't mean that if you lower your cholesterol you will increase your risk of dying.

Any saturated fats when eating healthy? (eggs, coconut oil, other tropical oils, butter, cheese, margarine, etc)

Statins have decades of research showing decreased cardiovascular risk and decreased mortality: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1884492/#:~:tex....

Actually Apo B is a better predictor for cardiovascular risk (and, AFAIK, the actual thing that injuries your arterial wall): "Based on current research, Apolipoprotein B has emerged as the superior marker for assessing cardiovascular disease risk. LDL particle size also has quality evidence behind it, but as it’s a metric that’s not yet as standardized nor as strongly predictive as ApoB, ApoB remains a better assessment of heart health than LDL particle size alone." https://blog.insidetracker.com/impact-ldl-particle-size-apob...

There is a 6 hour lipid series in YouTube where they go into the details: https://youtu.be/5iGl3iPZDis?si=fzL6zmX-iqkF7wF-

I'm always happy to answer questions: fernando () enveritas.org

Sometimes they just don't fit elevators / stairs :)

Same in Chile

It is a pretty common concept among economists. IIRC it is even covered in Mankiw's Introduction to Economics textbook.

What is fair? For people that can save most of their money, VAT is a neglible proportion of their income. Poor people which spend all of their money (and more!) will pay a lot of VAT proportional to their income.

The first person might pay more in absolute terms, but that doesn't sound fair to me.

For any company it makes sense to hire someone as long as they bring more revenue than cost. FAANG have millions of things they could improve to drive more customers.

Under-powered also means that the minimum detectable effect is high (that's why it is harder to get a "significant" result).

Which means that it is more likely that if you will find an effect only if you are overestimating the real effect. The real effect might not even be detectable!

Once our host gave us the wrong key, had no way of getting us the correct one, and they just wanted to cancel the reservation. This was 9pm and there was curfew due to COVID restrictions, so we were not allowed to go outside the building. I had to beg for about 4 hours to the rude host so they do not cancel the reservation and to call a locksmith. Airbnb's answer was that it was all good because we were able to get in.

There are multiple measures of GDP. This must be Real GDP growth. Real GDP will either use the prices in a base year or a GDP Deflator to account for the changes in price.

Love monito.com! Congratulations on your product. Do you know why so many money transfer system have restrictions on the directions to send money? For example, Wise only allows sending in the USA (USD) -> Chile (CLP) direction but not the other way around. Also Moneygram only allows USA -> Chile and it is blocked from non-US IP adresses.

My grandparents and parents love WhatsApp, Uber, Instacart, 4G, Smartphones, Ipads, and Netflix (to give a few examples). All things that were invented long after they were 35. I am between 15 and 35 and I have yet to see the problems Bitcoin solve for me (TBF, I don't live in Venezuela or Argentina, and I don't do any illegal activities). I am bit more bullish on Ethereum.

What do you use for the wiki?

> I don't believe this will have much of a net effect on vaccination rate

Chile saw a big uptick in vaccination when a similar policy was implemented.

There are free alternatives for email, to-do list apps, time tracking software, etc., and people still pay for tools that make them more productive. The fact that you won't pay for it doesn't mean that others won't.

PCR tests are more likely to give you a false negative than a false positive.

The second time we had a positive PCR test to confirm. The first time, there were no tests in NYC but people I worked with had it confirmed and we had the same exact symptoms (which are not similar no any other flu/disease we have had).

Not certain, but the second time we had a positive PCR test to confirm. The first time, there were no tests in NYC but close contacts had it and we had the same exact symptoms (which are not similar no any other flu/disease we have had).

Had the same symptoms both times (dry cough for 5 weeks, using inhalator, loss of smell, etc.). It could have been a very a flu very similar to COVID at the exact time NYC was locking down due to COVID?
