| Subj: Kevin
Slavin: How Algorithms Shape Our World
From: Wimp.com on 7/25/2011 (S758) |
 |
Kevin Slavin argues that we're
living in a world designed
for -- and increasingly controlled
by -- algorithms. In
this riveting talk from TEDGlobal,
he shows how these
complex computer programs determine:
espionage tactics,
stock prices, movie scripts,
and architecture. And he
warns that we are writing code
we can't understand, with
implications we can't control.

Subj: Has
Couple Found Formula To Win Lottery? (S607b)
From: WNBC.com on 8/23/2009
Source: http://www.wnbc.com/money/17263616/detail.html?taf=ny
MADISON, Wis. -- A double-lottery-winning
couple in Dane
County doubled their winnings
again. Verlyn and Judith
Adamson of Mount Horeb each
claimed a $350,000 jackpot
this week for having the winning
numbers in the state
SuperCash drawing last Saturday.
But they didn't mention
at the time that they also held
two more of the winning
tickets.
They claimed two more $350,000
jackpots Thursday. All
four were purchased at different
locations, but with the
same numbers and for the same
drawing. The total winnings
increased to $1.4 million, or
about $955,000 after taxes.
The Adamsons left a voice message
on their phone saying
they wouldn't have any public
comment and referring any
questions to their lawyer Scott
Thompson.
Verlyn Adamson, an accountant,
said earlier in the week
that he's a big fan of math
puzzles. He claims he
developed a formula for lottery
picks, but his winnings
have been small until now.
Thompson said the Adamsons are
"exploring patent
protection" for the equation.
But Steven Post, a mathematics
professor at Edgewood
College in Madison, said there
is no way to devise a
strategy for finding the winning
numbers in a game that
uses randomly generated numbers
to determine the winning
combination.
The only proven strategy would
be to "buy all the tickets,"
he said.
