Berkson's Paradox 5 years ago

If anyone's impatient like me, this example from wikipedia helped me get it:

For example, a person may observe from their experience that fast food restaurants in their area which serve good hamburgers tend to serve bad fries and vice versa; but because they would likely not eat anywhere where both were bad, they fail to allow for the large number of restaurants in this category which would weaken or even flip the correlation.

Of course, but in my opinion you have no right to complain about how a company behaves if you're aware of how they behave and continue to give them your money.

In addition, a lot of the terrible stuff Amazon does is not illegal but still reprehensible.

A non-profit and opensource meditation app called Medito. https://meditofoundation.org

It's built in Flutter which I am loving. We recognised that there were a lot of Meditation apps that had very expensive monthly fees, profiting from people's suffering and a practice that has been around for thousands of years. We've been around only for about a year and we've had around 400,000 downloads and are quite often to top search result for 'meditation' on the Play Store. Very exciting!
