       | For more advanced conversations, here's a few more topics of
       | interest:
       | 
       | - binomial distributions, and confidence intervals (application:

       | 
       | - forecasting timeseries data with triple exponential smoothing
       | to highlight anomalies
       | (https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proceedin...)
       | 
       | - methods of counting distinct values at scale. Hyperloglog
       | (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperLogLog) is used by systems
       | like statd to estimate various statistics.
