Post 4380: Stu, his explanation was, in its entirety, "because you have to account for variable change". (Or was it chance? I remember change, maybe it was chance though). Completely cryptic and irrelevant. Seems like a silly thing to ask at an interview (although I guess it depends what position you're going for?)... Given the stats behind it, and their understanding, are taught in a 3rd year stats subject. So unless you're going for a job that needs a heavy stats background (like, I dunno, statistician), the only thing that question would show is whether you've read and remembered the Wikipedia page or not. It's a bit like asking "what year did <famous person> die" - whether you know or not says nothing about your suitability to the role. If you're interested in this area of stats look Google for "envelope paradox" (or wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_envelopes_problem). IMHO it's a much more interesting problem than Monty Hall. BTW if you're looking for the answer/solution on the web, be discerning as there's lots of stuff written on the subject that is just plain wrong.

Post 4380: I actually don't recall the details of his explanation - I just remember the phrase "variable chance" being thrown around? In any event, I agree with you that it doesn't really enlighten the audience at all. But at least he got the percentages right.

Post 4380: "In the movie, our protagonist flips off an answer worthy of a 4.0 GPA mathematical whiz and opts to switch doors, saying that doing so will effectively double his chances of winning the car." True - but unfortunately his _explanation_ of why switching would double his chances of winning is utter crap. That kind of ruined the moment for me (it seemed they missed a great opportunity to use one of the real answers, which would have sounded no less impressive to the layperson).

Post 4327: Hi Wade, I don't think you're missing anything - del.icio.us is a much more extensive and better solution - LinkLogr is a basic, lightweight thing. It was originally just a personal site, but I adapted it for multi-user use. I was also going to add a feature where you could download a PDF of all the unread webpages you'd logged (so you could take a printout on the ride home), but I had a bit of a problem getting that feature working... hopefully I'll figure out the problem and get it working soon. As for my RSS feed, it just takes the first 500 characters of the post, including HTML tags and dumps them out verbatim... I really should get around to cleaning that up! (I didn't know people were actualy using it! :)

Post 4327: Hi Stu, sounds a lot like del.icio.us, which is what I currently use for the same task. Click add link, tag it with various tags and done. I use furtherreading as my primary come back to tag, but the beauty of del.icio.us comes when going back to read items. You can view furtherreading, and then drill down to the next level. Often I'll tag something furtherreading video, and when looking at what to catch up on when it's late at night, will just select the appropriate tag to re-display. i'll investigate your app in more detail. You're pretty good with developing things that fill a need, so maybe I'm missing something. Also, whilst talking about Web2.0, your XSLT/RSS Feed on hearye.org appears to has a few issues. It doesn't parse links or images at all, and it chops input after 500? characters. All things that make it very hard to read your blog clearly. Peace, Wade

Post 4305: What an adventure... I always love your travel posts. The altitude sickness (it was altitude sickness, yeah?) sounds awful but it also sounds like it was worth it. It's on my list for sometime... Beautiful photos, too!

Post 4305: It was a painful painful painful hike to the top... HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED for sane people... However, if you're fit like an Olympian and as determined as Aragon, then you might find it semi-enjoyable... otherwise let this Gondor burn! Nothing sums this trip better than the expression of the Austrian chick during the descent: "WHAT!? This was your first mountain!?" But yeah... certainly unforgettable. Thanks Stu... just come to Sudan with me once... i'll give you a real adventure and a real appreciation of Poscho and Beans! Woof!

Post 4305: Wow Stu, that was amazing. It took me parts of two evenings to read it all, and it was worth it. I "LOLed" at least a few times. Congratulations on making the summit. :) It sounds like it was an epic trip.
