@Hall_Curls44 It’s really cool man - been fun to follow!

Brilliant. “There is a deep sense of human fellowship in this picture of reality – in the idea that, in our utter exposure to forces beyond our control, we might all be in the same boat, clinging on for our lives, adrift on the storm-tossed ocean of luck.” https://t.co/FoGjEM0TqM

One game during the Brier this year right before puck drop @mattydunstone28 broke his (very old) shoe lace. Like any good coach, I gave him my mine off my foot (also old). It looks like he’s still wearing it as of tonight. Time for a change boss?

@CurlingMath @mattydunstone28 @curling @grandslamcurl @Guertez ... decisions are made instinctually that are multi-variate, complex, and entirely dependent on the moment at hand. Bin sizes are always n = 1 in present and predictive value of past scoreboard data has much less value than is being presented and popularized.

@CurlingMath @mattydunstone28 @curling @grandslamcurl @Guertez The most useful two graphs as a general framework to teach people scoreboard management 101 are published in your book. Historical Win Expectancies in men’s and women’s games. These numbers have the potential to serve as a useful Bayesian prior but...

@CurlingMath @mattydunstone28 @curling @grandslamcurl @Guertez Kevin, as the only person I know of to at least publish something accessible on this topic, I appreciate your persepective on this. The term “analytics” is tossed around and talked about so much as if there is predictive value written in stone.

@erscimia @Devin_Heroux The math doesn’t matter. At all.

... the precautionary principle is a form of pessimism that “seeks to ward off disaster by avoiding everything not known to be safe.” The opposite of the precautionary principle is [...]We don’t know enough, and we should always try to learn more. https://t.co/s2wnDXg49F

@C_hodgy @RockheadsC It’s a conscious choice 100%. And what’s fascinating is their personal accounts retweet bell let’s talk, and promote mental health treatment advocacy and awareness It would be a curious case study in behaviour if it wasn’t about the people I care deeply about.
