    • Summary:
      • By the end of 2021, 56 countries had registered more deaths per capita from COVID-19 than Sweden, a country that had not imposed lockdown mandate
      • There seems to be a lack of retrospective on Sweden's policy and if that was the right choice
      • There is an overestimation of the death toll caused by COVID-19, and compared to things like hunger it was much less severe
    • Notes:
      • This rosy figure is not so rosy when compared against other nordic countries that did go into lockdown
      • Also it doesn't consider the demographic that it affects and it disproportionality kills people who are healthy

    • Summary:
      • One should increase the rate of experiment in order to arrive at the results
        • Accepted fact that we don't know about the customer
      • Provide basic tools for setting up an experiment
        • Determine what sample size is needed for 80% power and 99% stat sig level for a particular kind of experiment
      • Standard set of metrics
        • And avoid pitfalls like sample ratio mismatch
      • Standard dashboards, analysis and reporting structure
        • It pays off to have standardized analysis
      • User bucketing
        • Having equal user buckets which have similar baseline performance
        • Clean control group
        • data hygiene - making sure user groups do not have any residual effect, doing A/A experiment
      • Track the rate of experimentation and set groals around it
