CVE program faces swift end after DHS fails to renew contract, leaving security flaw tracking in limbo
MITREβs 25-year-old Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program will end April 16 after DHS did not renew its funding contract for reasons unspecified. Experts say ending the program, which served as the crux for most cybersecurity defense programs, is a tragedy.
π«π€ Ah, the US's masterful stroke of turning off funding for the CVE program: effectively deploying the "403 Forbidden" defense strategy to keep everyone safe from... visibility? π Meanwhile, The Register's robot sensors are apparently more sensitive than a Victorian maiden's sensibilities. π΅π

I have a little secret: I donβt like the terminology, notation, and style of writing in statistics. I find it unnecessarily complicated. This shows up when trying to read about Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Take, for example, the abstract to the Markov Chain Monte Carlo article in the Encyclopedia of Biostatistics.
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a technique for estimating by simulation the expectation of a statistic in a complex model.
