[sdiy] analog loses another niche

[Harry Bissell]

You might get to the "metastable" point by keeping track of how many 1's vs how many
0's, and changing the sampling point to servo to an equal number. 

One might guess from looking at the bit stream that if you had a local surplus of 1's, that
someday you could expect a local surplus of 0's to follow. But that would be uhhh... random ?

Some things are predictable only because they are perfectly random, and thus
amenable to probabilistic analysis.  It seems that within perfect randomness
lies perfect order, particularly if there are very large numbers involved.
