| | | | Malicious Python Libraries Found & Removed From PyPI

The Waiting Time Paradox, Or, Why Is My Bus Always Late?
“You arrive at the bus stop, ready to catch your bus: a line that advertises arrivals every 10 minutes. You glance at your watch and note the time… and when the bus finally comes 11 minutes later, you wonder why you always seem to be so unlucky.” So, why not use Python to explore this so-called waiting time paradox…
