Inverse #SkinintheGame (https://nitter.moomoo.me/search?q=%23SkinintheGame). You get rich selling a story and transfer the downside to suckers.

Many techies were upset with the criticism of the insiders cashing out upon the "debut", w/a legal trick that allowed them to sell immediately, unlike with standard IPOs.

4,000 km in 9 months, mostly in hilly terrain (total climb 34K meters); increasing volume and speed v. progressively. The best way to enforce compliance is to be irrationally obsessed w/equipment. Speed is what makes it fun.

Checking mileage like others check their portfolio.

FRAUD ALERT

The electronic copy of Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails is supposed to be free; it is posted on Arxiv. Someone impersonating me uploaded it on @AmazonKindle (https://nitter.moomoo.me/AmazonKindle) and is collected royalties.

Do not buy it. It is free.

@Amazon (https://nitter.moomoo.me/Amazon), please make it easier to report such frauds.

Over the past 4 decades, I thought I'd seen every possible \*ex post\* spin by investors & traders who lost money. This is about the perfect zero-imagination excuse.

Indeed, Bitcoin is a product designed by toddlers for use by children.

This tweet gives you more information about Huberman that it does about Lex Fridman.

Fraud alert: impersonator @nakathaleb (https://nitter.moomoo.me/nakathaleb) mimics my feed then try to scam financially naive people.

During the last wave of reporting to Twitter, he closed his account; so was under the radar.

**Response to @nntaleb:**

3) For those not into statistics:

The correlation with a sum is not a sum of correlations.

(Obviously because the total correlation of Y with a sum of Xi cannot exceed 1).

@cremieuxrecueil (https://nitter.moomoo.me/cremieuxrecueil) is quite suspicious since it came 1 m ago & is supported by every Eugenist, including that idiot @primalpoly (https://nitter.moomoo.me/primalpoly).

After 16 years, fixed a misquotation in The Black Swan, in the discussion Marx/Quételet.

Thanks,Twitter. They just added to the "World of (Pseudo) Statistics" post:

Lebanon has the same problem: lengthy voice messages on WhatsApp. It may be caused by the weakness of the local currency.

Theory that emerges from practice is different from theory that emerges from theory.

PROBABILITY DU JOUR

The VO2 max estimate on the Apple Watch (indirect methods) is imprecise.

But no need for direct methods.

The AW has a high person-specific bias, but a low variance.

This means that the CHANGES in VO2 max you observe over time (what matters) are quite precise.

**Response to @nntaleb:**

2) The maximum penalty practice continued until modern times. The 500 French Franc banknote (survived until the 1990s) explains that counterfeiting commands an irrevocable life sentence.

FAKE NEWS, PICTURES

Counterfeiting has historically been a serious crime, at par w/murder, requiring the death penalty in England & France (the latter by "ébouillantage", boiling the offender in a hot oil)

Fake news will soon be treated as seriously. It debases civilization

Friends I am being impersonated by

@nakhataleb (https://nitter.moomoo.me/nakhataleb) who is copying my entire feed. He is contacting people to scam them.

Marshmallowbrains did not get that the firing of TuckerC is in perfect accordance w/libertarian principles.

As explained in #SkinInTheGame (https://nitter.moomoo.me/search?q=%23SkinInTheGame), libertatians favor torts over regulations: disinformation & its harm were controlled by the free market, not by the state via censorship.
