This is definitely a part of standard follow up for small findings and part of the guidance for incidentally detected lung nodules smaller than <8mm.

I think mammography is a great example. Many people are quite surprised to hear that the Positive Predictive Value of a screening mammography is only in 10-15% range. This despite mammography being a pretty sensitive test. This is because despite good test performance characteristics, applied across a large population of relatively health people, the 2-5% false positive rate is a large number of people.

I love the line on the landing page with a link back to hn:

> That must be worst website ever made.

the level of confidence (this is a second time founder after all) to put that on their website gives me confidence that they can make this work

Agree. We got ours in Jan 2020 because we had a new baby and it was hard to make it to the gym regularly.

I played college sports and work out regularly over the past 15 years since then. I'm pretty self-motivated to stay fit. I didn't expect to really enjoy the "class" part of Peloton, but I really find it moderately more motivating than just doing things myself. I end up working out harder, longer and more frequently. Recommend.

I mean: > The companies’ denials are countered by six current and former senior national security officials, who—in conversations that began during the Obama administration and continued under the Trump administration—detailed the discovery of the chips and the government’s investigation. One of those officials and two people inside AWS provided extensive information on how the attack played out at Elemental and Amazon; the official and one of the insiders also described Amazon’s cooperation with the government investigation.
