Apologies, I misread your comment and though you said protonvpn was untrustworthy. I’m not a VPN user so I’m not up to date with the rep of any of them, but I am a proton mail user so I was worried about the technical integrity of one of their products

As far as I understand it, proton is about the last VPN option you can trust with port forwarding

Could you explain this part please? What makes them untrustworthy?

It’s a double edged sword. Everybody’s got a different line for when something descriptive inadvertently becomes prescriptive

Claim to have, sure. But actually have, probably few, at least until that have to start dealing with the condition.

The DJ Khaled one was him just completely embarassing himself unintentionally. Funny because he’s so full of himself. Conan’s was funny, but you knew it was going to be before watching because it’s Conan

After the DJ Khaled episode I knew nothing else would be as entertaining for me so I stopped there

You and me both

While the obesity part is kind of a digression, I think they were pretty clear: protein powder is a waste if you have a typical American diet and are not exercising, which is apparently most Americans. While protein powder on its own isn’t snake oil, it effectively is for most people.

You forgot to include a link to the project:

The follow up question could have been “where in Canada”, but it decidedly wasn’t

Same. It took me months to give it another shot and after that I couldn’t stop

What is wrong with it? That’s exactly what he shows in the video. When betting it all, equal wins and losses is a net loss. The point is betting some fraction such that the gains overtake the losses

My takeaways would be:

1. Never trust averages on their face
2. Being consistent gives you an advantage
3. Always be looking to reevaluate your situation and maximize what you can get out of it

This is true if you’re betting everything you have. By not having shrinking bets after losses you can tap into the net gains. Compare 1 win followed by 1 loss with $100 start:

Win is $100+$80 = $180

Loss is $180-$90 = $90

Compare with fixed bets of $50 with bank of $100:

Win is $100+$40 = $140

Loss is $140-$25 = $115

The key is not letting your losses affect your bet amount. With the gain being only 80% instead of 100%, betting your bank means 1 win and 1 loss leaves you with less than you started. Making your bet amount fixed between flips means 1:1 will instead give you a net gain. The Kelly Criterion says there is an optimal proportion of bank you can bet that will maximize this gain over many flips
