G:

"stochastic" is a term widely used in probability theory in math. in comes from Greek _stochos_ meaning target or aim. It means you are moving in the direction of something, not like with strict logic or an absolutely rigorous proof, but instead by trying to move in the approximate direction in order to make a gradual approach to a desired goal.

i'm more of a fan of combinatorics, mathematically :)

@fred lol well I'm just a serial pledger :) Lots of folks give more. Hopefully all give what they can whether it's in a bunch o'pledges or all in one shot :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:59pm
G:

within a close system of fixed terms (e.g., euclidean geometry), things are provable -- but only within that system.

the external world is more complex and multifactorial, and everything is stochastic. otherwise, we'd have all arrived at and agreed on the right answers about everything already, and that is manifestly not the case :)

Just called. They want to have a 30 minute follow-up on Monday. So, no, I don't officially have the job, but it looks rather positive. Hopefully, I can start pledging next week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:24pm
northguineahills:

The ninth interview (5 weeks ago), came off really positive. But, they said it was up to the HR dept (of the NYC Office of Emergency Management) to draw up the contract, etc. I just got nervous b/c of the wait. (even though my previous gov't jobs had similar waits.)
