OSCON 2009 has been a blast so far, and I’ve really been enjoying the presentations and meeting people from different walks of the open-source world. Tim O’Reilly’s call to service to improve the way our government works was particularly stirring.

If you weren’t at the talk, there aren’t too many details in the slides in the first section: it’s picture-heavy, and you might have had to be there. What’s not on the slides is the answer to the question posed on the title. I said no: the improved statistical literacy in the mainstream media, better visualizations, and an awesome open-source tool for statistical analysis (R, of course!) gives me hope that we all have a better concept of risk these days.
