Just for fun I thought I’d run a week’s worth of old posts, just some things I came across when searching for various things. Of course I could just post the links right here but instead I’ll repost with my comments on how things have changed in the intervening years.

Mon: In the best alternative histories, the real world is what’s ultimately real (from 2005)

Tues: Comments on an anti-Bayesian (from 2006)

Wed: How Americans vote (from 2012)

Thurs: The candy weighing demonstration, or, the unwisdom of crowds (from 2008)

Fri: Random matrices in the news (from 2010)

Sat: Picking pennies in front of a steamroller: A parable comes to life (from 2011)

Sun: Greg Mankiw’s utility function (from 2010)
