Currently taking #OpenStreetMap off-the-grid with #internetinabox
Involved with @sandstorm. A really cool project for easy #selfhosting, though I'd caution using it for sensitive things at the moment because it's badly out of date, but we're working on it!

Imagine if health bloggers started warning about "chemicals" in energy drinks (surely you've heard something like this), and touting "chemical-free" alternatives.
This enters the wider lexicon. Serious journalists discuss the controversy of energy drinks that are "full of chemicals".
No drink manufacturers or even chemists raise a stink or mock anyone for butchering the word. Within ten years they all use the word this way themselves.
This is what happened to the word "algorithm".
What if your halfway-through new prediction comes true?
You have to have a strict rule on how to evaluate predictions or else it's meaningless. But nobody had the focus for that sort of thing. It's hard not to give credit for any sort of prediction.
The only thing that makes sense is betting I guess. Even if it's play money. If you end up on top given all your changes of opinion then your predictions are good.
