A historical collection of our writing.
Just as a reminder, we have been spending the last few weeks of Uncertainty Wednesday exploring different measures of uncertainty. We first looked at entropy which is a measure based only on the states of the probability distributions itself. We then encountered random variables, which associate […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
The dominant position of companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon is sure receiving a lot more attention these days. There is critical media coverage, including in traditionally pro business publications such as the Wall Street Journal “Can the Tech Giants Be Stopped?” and Bloomberg “Should […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
I previously wrote a review of Yuval Harari’s Sapiens, which I highly recommended, despite fundamentally disagreeing with one of its central arguments. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about Homo Deus. While the book asks incredibly important questions about the future of humanity, it not only […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
Last time in Uncertainty Wednesdays, I introduced continuous random variables and gave an example of a bunch of random variables following a Normal Distribution. Now in the picture you can see two values, denoted as μ and σ^2, for the different colored probability density functions. These are the […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
I have written several posts on token sales and ICOs already, including some “Thoughts on Regulating ICOs” and “Optimal Token Sales.” With the continued fundraising success of new projects, here are some observations on investment terms and their potential implications for achieving successful […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
So far in Uncertainty Wednesdays we have only dealt with models and random variables that had a discrete probability distribution. Often in fact we had only two possible states or signal values. There are lots of real world problems though in which the variable of interest can take on a great many […] Read more (opens Continuations in a new tab)
