Man I had a cool chapter today on statistics reliability with regard to employment numbers as published by the Census MLRF and USDA.

Reading Morgenstern's book on economic accuracy is just fun. It's like mini-case studies for data. :3

Witelo's Perspectivae is also pretty cool, read a very interesting proposition where the middle angle of a circle is the combined degrees of both arcs on opposite sides of it.

that's just a normal thing. stop being a pussy and create a reading habit, we are all in the same fucking boat. half a year stuck on the iliad but i'll finish it somehow.
