Just for a change this week I won’t open with any insults whatsoever of our Knuckledragger-and-Chief pseudo-leader… but simply go straight to the latest Friday potpourri:
1) YOU too can take a Harvard “Introduction to Probability” course:
2) H/T to Steve Strogatz for passing along this somewhat interesting useful page of lists:
3) IBM’s Watson early on received a LOT of positive hype for its healthcare successes and promise… not so much lately though:
4) Gelman on the problem of “noisy” studies:
5) A great little piece (and puzzle) on the complexity of causation (assuming such a thing even exists!):
7) And hey, soon there may be a half-dozen-or-so academic journal papers on the “cold-hand” phenomena in basketball:
8) Managing a house or a classroom Fawn Nguyen knows what to do (…or at least has an opinion ;)

…Potpourri BONUS! (extra NON-mathematical links of interest):
1) TED Radio Hour last week was on the battle for our attention in the digital age:
2) Relatedly, I never have time for all the podcasts I want to hear, but one I’ll pass along, for any not familiar with it, is Julia Galef’s “Rationally Speaking”:
