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 use Uber to get almost everywhere. My last four consecutive Uber drivers complemented my toy poodle and each one mentioned a shared affinity for dogs. I asked each driver exactly the same questions starting with,"do you have any pets?", every driver answered the similarity that they had a dog, three currently and one when he was younger. I then asked "what kind of dog?" To this each of the four drivers respinded that they had German Shephards, except for the man whom did not have a dog currently but previously in life. When he did have a dog, it was a German Shephard Mix (Doberman I think) named Sparky. What are the odds!!!! Four of the five ride share drivers that I meet in two days traveling in Los Angeles all have experienced ownership of German Shephards. To further the magic in this coincidence, I have always wanted a big dog, specifically a Reisenschnauzer, which comes from a region near Germany called Bavaria. Well, technically it is Germany, unless you're from there.
