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've been reservedly considering enlisting in military service for many months, and just last week decided which branch to join. Today my Uber driver preached ad nausiem about the benefit of the very branch for which I applied a few days earlier. The same Uber driver from today went on to explain how he originally applied to be in rarely spoken of battalion, similar in today's terms to a suicide bomber pilot in the Pacific. I was shocked with disbelief because another Uber driver whom I'd recently met just so happened to be an elite survivor in said bastion of force.Lastly, there were two rather silent or otherwise "out of tune" passengers in the back seat for each respective Uber journey whom all departed at least five minutes before reaching my destination. I could seek more coincidence here, but what's here is crazy-making enough. What a sincerely small world. I give thanks to technology like Facebook the intraweb to keep us in-touch and aligned with reality!
