Bayes’ theorem tells us how to compute the conditional probability of each event in a partition given an observed event A. A major use of partitions is to divide the sample space into small enough pieces so that a collection of events of interest become conditionally independent given each event in the partition.

Fed keeps wiggle room on rates No matter how hard the Federal Reserve has tried to give itself room for manoeuvre on monetary policy, by decision time that flexibility has become more limited. That is the view of central bank-watchers in the weeks since the Fed reduced its benchmark interest rate for only the second time since the financial crisis. It is widely expected to cut again at its October 30 meeting, but US central bank officials have gone to great lengths to brace investors for a pause following that cut — barring a dismal turn in the economic data. Investors have so far accepted this reality, with the odds of another rate reduction in December modest at 30 per cent, according to Fed funds futures contracts compiled by CME Group. But should investors ramp up their expectations for another interest rate cut later this year, the Fed could very well find itself pressured into action once more, or risk sparking a market sell-off. In the days before the Fed’s so-called “black...

For most of the twentieth century, as David Edgerton shows in his vital and decisive book, “United Kingdom” was a technical term used by statisticians, diplomats and the army, but seldom in a wider context. It was not until the 1960s that historians seeking to foster a progressive national consensus began presenting the “United Kingdom” story in terms of an emancipatory and cohesive welfare state, while underplaying the extent to which it was a bundle of semi-unified nations. Most subjects of Elizabeth II associated the phrase “United Kingdom” with broadcasts of the Eurovision Song Contest: “Royaume-Uni, nul points”. The first three country code top-level domain names allotted in 1985 – .us, .uk and .il – and the spread of email traffic and internet shopping finally brought “uk” into common currency among people living in the British Isles. As to the noun “Britain”, it became the standard usage in politics and historical writing only after 1945. It was – and is – used promiscuously ...

Framework for an Active DAO Treasury Execution 04 Jan 2023 ● claberus.eth An analysis of a non-custodial and trust-minimised way to delegate treasury actions. The DAO Governance Conundrum DAOs are a crypto primitive. They represent a new organisational construct rooted in the digital age that advocates for permissionless and transparent governance through immutable smart contracts. Its decentralised ownership promotes cooperation through intricate incentive schemes governed by capital ownership. However immensely useful to prevent the arbitrary decision-making of hierarchical structures, this approach has ultimately been taken to an extreme. The “decentralise everything” movement quickly evolved into an “everybody should decide on everything” mindset that has slowed progress in some technical matters across most DAOs so far. Treasury Management is undoubtedly one of those areas. DAO token holders are the ultimate owners and decision-makers of the DAO. We could argue that voting on t...
