Appeared in a Podcast
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I was in English class and we were discussing the current meme of the "FBI Man watching" and how our phones are potentially tapped and the FBI and NSA have all our information. We were simply joking about it and so on my way home I decide to catch up on a podcast that was aired last November, continuing on from that morning. As I begin listening, about two minutes in the subject changes to the FBI man and how he could be watching us.
