I never really understood brand loyalty, to be honest. I might buy certain brands right now because they tend to be more reliable or last long or are more ethical or whatever, but if that circumstance changes, I'm _absolutely_ dumping them. All brand loyalty (so far as that even exists for me) is purely conditional - I buy tea from ArborTeas because it's loose-leaf and they have many fair trade options. If either of those changes, they lose my business.

QuickerCheck: Implementing and Evaluating a Parallel Run-Time for QuickCheck
This paper introduces a new parallel run-time for QuickCheck, a Haskell library and EDSL for specifying and randomly testing properties of programs. The new run-time can run multiple tests for a single property in parallel, using the available cores. Moreover, if a counterexample is found, the run-time can also shrink the test case in parallel, implementing a parallel search for a locally minimal counterexample. Our experimental results show a 3--9$\times$ speed-up for testing QuickCheck prop…

A Non-Expert's Introduction to Data Ethics for Mathematicians
I give a short introduction to data ethics. I begin with some background information and societal context for data ethics. I then discuss data ethics in mathematical-science education and indicate some available course material. I briefly highlight a few efforts -- at my home institution and elsewhere -- on data ethics, society, and social good. I then discuss open data in research, research replicability and some other ethical issues in research, and the tension between privacy and open data a…
