Interest that over time can deepen into passions and have the possibility of ultimately providing purpose. For our son […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
Today’s Uncertainty Wednesday will be quite short as I am super swamped. Last week I showed some code and an initial graph for sample means of size 100 from a Cauchy distribution. Here is a plot (narrowed down to the -25 to +25 range again) for sample size 10: And here is one for sample […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)

Informally speaking it is the director who makes sure that the board reaches […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
In today’s Uncertainty Wednesday we are putting some of the ideas from the last few weeks together: we are looking at the behavior of the sample mean of a fat tailed distribution. To do this we will again use a bit of Python code. Unlike our first sample mean example where we looked at the […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)

The post does not mention the alternative possibility of binding voting as a mechanism for the evolution of blockchains. There are several projects, […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
