It's also 10000% more capable too.

The rate of type 2 diabetes in Germany is almost the same as the USA at 9.8% vs 10.7%. Ozempic is a T2D drug.

It's an opportunity cost. Since they can't have infinite employees, their current employees are better allocated to other things.

The post just got flagged and taken down from public view.

HN is free because it’s a top of funnel for YC. They’re not doing out of the goodness of their hearts.

If this is what you think, good riddance. I think carefully about what I write publicly, and stand by what I say.

I gained hundreds of better followers. The engagement farming is in your imagination.

It would be if I said YC is the worst thing you could do with your life.

If MKBHD’s title was Why you shouldn’t buy the pin, it would have been better.

But I accept this interpretation is subjective. That’s why I said “I find that…”

I'm waiting for your onions!

I never said or implied in any way MKBHD or other reviewers should feel compelled to protect the companies they review.

It's entirely different than unfair. Communism would be a fully-ergodic system, but it's also very unfair and undesirable.

I said MKBHD was irresponsible for using a highly sensational headline (worst product ever reviewed) when he has such as large influence. I never said what you're implying.

Taking a job is indeed an alternative. You pay yourself, but you get little control on what you work on (apart from choosing which company to work for). However, you can usually leave easily with a 2 week notice without many downsides.

Getting accepted into YC is quite similar to getting a job. You get paid (less), but you get more control on what you work on. Even though technically you have full control, you don't really do that for moral and ethical reasons. You will want to do things that have a chance of paying off big time, because that's why your investors trusted you with their money. And if you get fed up, it's not as easy to leave. What about your investors? What about your reputation? Will you want to let these people down? Etc.

Vassallo: It’s distasteful (and maybe unethical) to use a sensational title like that when you know millions of people will only see the headline and never watch the full review.

I wasn’t telling Marques anything. I was having a discussion with my audience.

Finally someone with good reading comprehension. Thank you.

The title is opposite of clickbait. It’s so sensational that millions of people will stop at the headline and not watch the review.

Sorry but this is a lie. I don’t have bots and I don’t do crypto.

Think before you make public accusations.

I am indeed living on the edge of a rain forest in the Pacific Northwest.

How come this says it's 420ppm currently, but when I open a window all the CO2 monitors in my house show ~390ppm?

Indeed, although I believe the main value of the automaticity of the heart isn't about being able to survive brain failure, but about being a real-time system with no dependencies. Unavailability of just ~3 seconds can lead to loss of consciousness. We can afford to stop breathing for a bit if the nervous system is overwhelmed, but the heart can't afford that.

Mine is exactly like yours. During exercise it disappears. Then after about 5 minutes post-exercise, the symptoms become even more regular. I'd get 4-5 normal beats, and then a skipped beat. I managed to capture an ECG post-workout and it shows very clearly the regular PVCs: https://dvassallo.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/twitter/F7yWouK...

From what I've read, when we're exercising (or sick or stressed) the heart rate gets overridden by the SNS (part of the autonomic nervous system). The SA node can only maintain resting heart rate, and once there's extra demands from the body, the SNS takes over (controlled by the brain, but involuntary).

It seems to be a good sign that PVCs disappear during exercise based on the studies I found.

I'm going to take it easy for a few weeks, just out of abundance of caution; just in case there's something else that got missed.

I'm not into any competitions or races. I run for health purposes only, so I'm okay losing some fitness. If the symptoms disappear, I'll certainly ramp up again. If they don't, I'll play it by ear :)

My understanding is that 35-50% of endurance athletes have what I have (including symptoms), and they continue to train without any harmful effects.

Author here. I've been taking running seriously for 22 months, so maybe the past 6 weeks were just the last straw to trigger this arrhythmia. I also had covid at the end of July (very mild symptoms), which made me think there could be a link, but the tests seem to exclude any lingering inflammation or infection.

That event is in the future. What’s deceptive about it?

That’s how I used the term. YC experiences the ensemble average, while individuals are unable to realize their expected value because they only have one lifetime.

The author of that paper, an economics professor, agrees with my definition: https://twitter.com/ole_b_peters/status/1450761675049734144

The subtitle of the post is: "Or why YC is good for the economy but bad for your economy."
