    Controversial and tangential, I know. Consider this: Any organization is a system of people in roles, let's call them members. The members are expected to make decisions in accorda…

    What is easy to understand, but hard to illustrate is cyclic patterns of impulse - response. Without the impulse, no response. However, it is the response that drives the nature of…

    Sorry to answer to my own post. I joined Facebook last week. After eleven years of refusing to play Facebook's game. Here's the information I gathered from 20 minutes on Facebook -…

    Based on my own analyses, I can't see how Bitcoin will survive. Other "bitcoins" (cryptocurrencies) will surely arise to fill the gap. Time to call it for me: The fundamental value…

    Strictly speaking, one may end up with a separate set projections for e.g. dividends. These may in a standardized way present ranges for each KPI with confidence intervals associat…

    I forgot to answer your question: "I want to know if any orgs actually use probabilistic decision making in their day to day operations." The short answer is "yes!" The long answer…

    That is an excellent point! That is the very reason I believe the current system should be augmented with a new first class financial statement, rather than replaced. This will giv…

    Thinking is hard. That's why we must strive to avoid it at all costs. :) Probabilistic thinking is useful to wrap one's head around. Having worked with decision support for a decad…

    A single blow of a hammer to the head may cause a cracked skull and/or massive hemorrhaging. It could be instantly lethal, or cause death even after medical attention is given. Eve…

    It's not a strange assumption to make, given how the prefix system works for true SI units. The litre/liter is defined as a decimeter cubed, or 0,1 m^3. It is a metric unit, but no…

    A) Why should I believe you?, and B) Is this some metaphorical or religious uncleanliness you mean when you say filthy? These issues fixed, you might have presented coherent argume…

    With all due respect: No molecule is a mathematical formula. Mathematical formulas - on the other hand - are. Patents on software are a patent on describing how to use a machine. A…
