A historical Robin Hanson fanboy cant believe his hero signed Bobs ill-informed and unwise petition.
Hal Finney:
My concern is that the small stakes limit of $2,000, the limits on who can operate markets, and the limitations on the scope of markets, will lead to spotty coverage which will preclude a robust evaluation of the merits of prediction markets in general. After all, we have intrade.com already which provides spotty coverage of a number of issues – how much more will this add?
Maybe “-gambling can save science“-, but I don’-t see how these steps would show it.

Proof that you can be “-high IQ”- and still lack judgment (in small ways).
–
P.S.: Over that the micro slam above, I have the highest esteem and respect for Robin Hanson —-a prediction market pioneer.

STEVE LEVITTS FREAKONOMICS HIJACKED BY HACKER – FAMOUS ECONOMICS BLOG TEMPORARILY DEFACED – ANTI-SPORTS BETTING BILE VOICED
Freakonomics, the famous blog on economics, is powered by WordPress, which is known [*] to have grave security vulnerabilities. Yesterday, a dangerous hacker managed to get access to their blogging software, and published an opinion on the regulation of prediction markets, which represents the total opposite of what Steve Levitt believes in. No doubt the hacker (who signed as “-The Australopithecus“-) will get caught by the Police. No doubt Steve Levitt will get out of his torpor soon and re-establish the truth. We will then give airtime to Steve Levitt’-s arguments, on Midas Oracle. We’-re with you, doctor Levitt.
[*] I know that for a fact. Midas Oracle was hijacked yesterday by a dangerous hacker who signed as “-The Barbecue”-. I’-m not responsible for what he said.
