A new blog on InTrade’s prediction markets: Prediction (Market) Insights
Prediction (Market) Insights… by Anonymous
Best wishes to him/her. I hope that he/she will reveal his/her ID in the future. “Wiser Than The Crowd” is the wrong role model in that regard, triple alas.
Addendum:
Thanks to my Deep Throats, I know roughly who “Wiser Than The Crowd” is. He did not lie. He indeed works for a [...]
WordPress blog hacked: What to do, now?
A nasty hacker has taught a lesson to research scientist David Pennock. The lesson is that our WordPress blogs are not secure, and we should be pro-active in reinforcing their line of defense.

Overcoming Bias began in November ‘06 as a group blog on the general theme of how to move our beliefs closer to reality, in the face of our natural biases such as overconfidence and wishful thinking, and our bias to believe we [...]
Robin Hanson has overhauled his (ex-group) blog.
- Overcoming Bias is now a solo blog. (His conspirators are now grouped at Less Wrong.)
- His blog is on with a new webhost, and is probably not powered by TypePad anymore —I highly suspect WordPress. – (He should have chosen WordPress from day one, instead of listening sheepishly to his GMU acolyte. [...]
Why BetFair and InTrade as media can’t be trusted
TechCrunch:
As a consumer, when’s the last time you read an advertorial and walked away inspired or informed?
Never.
And this is my version of the question:
As a consumer, when’s the last time you read a post by BetFair Predicts and walked away inspired or informed?
