kuudes said “A note, predictionbook.com deals each prediction as live rather than updating the probability of the prediction per person, JoshuaZ.” on 2015-11-08
JoshuaZ said “Kuudes, If one uses multiple predictions at different times, it will record them both. For example, if one has 32 and 34 like I do then this will count as 2 predictions in the 30-40 range. If I adjusted the 40-50 range, would treat as one in each.” on 2015-11-09
JoshuaZ said “Updating one’s probabilities is healthy. ” on 2015-11-09
kuudes said “Indeed. Just noted this for general knowledge, as it was discussed on elsewhere and people wondered which way it goes, and therefore it was news for me when I got it confirmed either way. Indeed it is as you say, on both counts. :-)” on 2015-11-09
aarongertler estimated 17% and said “Three years of adding more articles per year than they have in any of the last five years? When just a bit more low-hanging fruit is plucked each year? i don’t love those odds.” on 2015-11-09
