Now enter one group of boys, some who have described themselves or been described as tomgirls. Boys whose innate uniqueness includes sensitivity, creativity, perhaps a soft spot for sequined clothing and playing house. These boys, as part of their innate knowledge of themselves, are engaging in ...
even though we love ourBasic Homemade Playdough Recipefor everyday use. This recipe is so fun for kids because it is edible playdough, and they can help make this simple recipe. In fact, I recommend letting your kids help whenever possible!
theory. At present, complex-system theory still awaits its Pascal and Fermat. The mathematical concepts and methods currently available were developed, by and large, to describe simple systems composed of material objects like planets and atoms. It is the development of a proper theory of complex...
In the next sections, we’ll walk through the development of a simple web service. This process includes introducing chaos into the system, then exploring how you can dynamically manage the level of chaos introduced. Lastly, we’ll demonstrate how to use resilience strategies to mitigate the cha...
The scenario above is called the “bullwhip effect” in Systems Theory. A small perturbation in input starts a self-reinforcing cycle that causes a dramatic swing in output. In this case, the swing in output ends up taking down the app. The most important feature in the example above is ...
Trump, Cruz, Rubio: The Game Theory of When The Enemy of Your Enemy Is Your Enemy. Posted onFebruary 7, 2016 I posted earlier abouttruelsand how the current GOP nomination approximates one. In that post, I laid out the basics of the simple truel (i.e., a three person duel), assu...
Therefore, as described inMinimize Blast Radius, we advocate running the first experiment with as narrow a scope as possible. You’ll almost certainly want to start out in your test environment to do a dry run before you move into production. Once you do move to production, you’ll want ...
as in the two- and four-armed bandit problems described above. Second, the sum of the reward probabilities of the slot machines whose MSBs are 0 and 1 are 2.2 and 2.4, respectively, whereas the maximum-reward-probability machine (Machine 2) has an MSB of 0, which is a contradictory situ...
Chaos theory is used to describe many complicated systems where computational models are limited by the number of unpredictable variables and random factors. For example, weather systems, fluid dynamics, and population cycles can all be described by some elements of chaos theory. Chaos theory is als...
James Hess, professor at the School of Security and Global Studies in the American Public University System, told Fox News Digital that "it’s appropriate to say any travel internationally certainly should be taken with vigilance," but he argued that Americans generally "travel well" due to thei...
