@elonmusk fsd 14 is superb except when guessing which side of my garage I park in. Why not see which garage door opens when I approach?

Honored to be co-recipient of @INFORMS 2025 George E. Kimball Medal—the society’s highest service award. May it inspire others to look beyond the transactional and rebuild social capital.

@asdf_101 @PhysInHistory Mathematics explains the order others may not see.

It is hard to underestimate the value of the such clarity.

Overdue EO related to OR signed today ⁦@INFORMS⁩ ⁦@morsanalytics⁩

My first experiment with grok sought to capture my thoughts when I hear of people using excel to make serious subtle data rich complex decisions rather than viewing analytics as a force multiplier.

[Les Servi @lds123]

@morsanalytics I feel honored to be chosen and grateful to all the @morsanalytics volunteers, members, and staff that make this meaningful and worthwhile. Thanks also to @MITREcorp for supporting me at this over the years

@AmericanAir Not listed because @AmericanAir stopped allowing people to join list up to the time the doors closed

You are purposely allowing a plane to fly with an open seat and a tired customer who wants that seat

Bad for customers, shareholders and employees trying to defend policy

@denizbesik @Supernetworks @BrownUniversity @miketrick She was a great professor who first introduced me to OR via the H&L book.

@ScottAdamsSays If you predict a dice roll will probably be more than ‘1’ but it turns out to be ‘1’ that doesn’t mean odds don’t apply to you.

Maybe you were unlikely.

Maybe you should roll again.

Maybe rolling different die would help. Maybe it will not help.

@Anthony_Bonato @Noahpinion It is important to never underestimate the power of differential equations. Some would say analytics are a force multiplier.
