@HardcoreHistory Finally finishing Addendum EP19 with Max - discussion re Russia interesting prelude to current events. Thank you for the insight, as always.
Expected to see some @HardcoreHistory in this article, still a great read @Medium: medium.com/history-of-yester…

Sketchy disappearing paperback @amazonbooks options on @amazon - gone seconds after the page loads. Unclear if oversight or attempt to make you buy the more expensive hard cover (or Kindle)...

Alarming and probably overlooked tidbit in @NatalieGrover article in @endpts about (hydroxy)chloroquine. No drug against COVID-19 will work if it lacks API because the manufacturer is committing rampant fraud. Wondering if @KatherineEban or @PeterAttiaMD have been tracking this?

Hope that this #coronavirus thing teaches people about the importance of sample size and error rates in diagnostic tests.
"With 140,000 people tested, the country’s mortality rate is just over 0.6%" -- this is more accurate than the severity-biased samples from other countries; increased testing will illustrate this everywhere scmp.com/week-asia/health-en…
Surprised that @PeterAttiaMD missed 2 key questions with David Light (just catching up):
1. Did they use any methods besides GC-MS ? (may accelerate degradation)
2. Was [NDMA] proportional to pill dosage?
This sounds like an analytical error exaggerating the problem.
The problem of antibiotic dev does not lie in needing new molecules, it lies in pricing and market access. Please tell academics justifying their research by supporting the dwindling pipeline that they are 100% wrong and to stop wasting @NIH @NSF funding.

@nntaleb Article is reminiscent (to me) of your discussion of literary intellectuals overanalyzing poetry/literature they didn't write: latimes.com/books/jacketcopy…

@ramit what do you think about the 30% rule (% of income on rent) when it comes to budgeting?
@nntaleb what is the best way for one to get better at appraising with the ultimate goal of being a trader and avoid getting ripped off by others?
Thought experiment: what would #academia look like with no awards and funding provided in private? #RealTimeChem

Actually a very interesting article. I did not know the transgender bathroom issue fell under the DOJ, not education. xitter.gq/politico/status/926091…

Seems like @Apple store shouldn't have appointments if 30 min after check in, still a ton of people waiting. FCFS better at that point
