Instead, download all the TED videos from YouTube. (Use Video Download Helper to download the videos on your hard drive.)
I have downloaded about 200 videos. Amazing people.

Prediction Markets & Data Visualization

Written by Chris F. Masse on May 15, 2008 — Leave a Comment

Spot that that guy didn’t say, “I monitor a prediction market“. He said, “I monitor a chart“.
InTrade, TradeSports, BetFair, TradeFair, NewsFutures and HubDub have a huge work to do to improve their charts. In the future, they will output richer charts. Customizable, dynamic, compound charts, with news markers.

The Most Hilarious Thing I Read This Morning

Written by Chris F. Masse on April 27, 2008 — 2 Comments

A 6-year-old report about how he enjoyed being invited at Robin Hanson’s party —boring like hell.
Makes me think that the field of prediction markets should research more on data visualization. Kids like great visuals. Boisterous blogging adults haven’t computed that, yet. When’s the last time you saw great visuals at Marginal Revolution or Overcoming Bias?

The guy has shown commitment. Look at the semi-long list of posts he has produced.
The guy has finally understood that people want red meat —dynamic charts (i.e., self-updating) that link to the said prediction markets.
I observe, in passing, that their Pennsylvania compound chart is still alive (which is good), but, alas, the individual Clinton and [...]
