- SBSC.
- Added a few more people to the paid league.
- Payout distributions. Has to be discrete (obviously), not a continuous distribution.
- Like a probability mass function, but instead of all values (to infinity) adding up to 1, only the first n (the top players getting paid out). The probabilities representing the percentage of the purse received. Any tail at the end (since we’re going to n payouts, not inf) will go to the first place purse.
- Example discrete PMFs:
- Geometric = reduced by a constant factor every step.
- Logarithmic = reduces logarithmically every step (greater drops at first, flatter later).
- Added some rules about ending the logseries not at the top 25% of players, but rather where the minimum payout is equal to the buyin. Better.
- Wrote the pseudocode for the roundings to the nearest $10.
- Settled on a discrete logseries with p=0.9: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_distribution
- CNY paperless, sent invites (diff set than friendsgiving for variety!) – christine/levi, josh/kati, harner, sarah, hannah, katie.
- Went to NYC Space Happy Hour!
- Varda is the queen of the stars in LOTR. Palantir is a seeing-stone (like the ones used by Saruman and Sauron) in LOTR.
