Just think, if Ian follows Jawn's advice, we could be seeing hot reporters pointing at maps n poo poo on CNN with powered by Statpedia® in they corners.

the reverse is true when its time to reduce costs

or just stick a travel ban on them so the few effective ones are hobbled and everything can crumble directionlessly, then everyone can go after a long slow tanking.

i concur with the assessment that it's a solution in search of a problem

there's one obvious problem that would take the least effort to tune statpedia to, but since Ian's never heard the phrase "likely voter" he can't slap it together in the 41 days that somebody would give a poo poo

seriously it's the one time every 4 years that statistics is meaningful to a lot of people and we're here on a computer joke forum with Serious Questions about the tone of the discussion. after this window, the only people who will care about statistics and amateur toolsets are fantasy sports wonks

so i'm saying you hook one of THOSE up to some polling data and the user just specifies a model (e.g. use rasmussen only, assume R+10 turnout and I's go 80% R) that will automagically update with new polling data when available

so is statpedia supposed to make money for you somehow? like, people will give you money for the completed product? is the uncertainty on the kickstarter page meant to build confidence. could you show me a stat to clear all of this up?

ian, I am having a hard time believing that you are for real at this point. Like, nobody for real knows so little about the world around their goals and yet professes to be an expert driving a real goal or whatever. we got hard reality hitting u, and yet you keep comin back askin for somebody else to build ur poo poo for you.

oh i'm not convinced he's real but the appeal of believing that he's for real and is this ignorant and deluded and about to enter graduate school at a uc campus is just too loving much. i want to believe so bad. :(

i was serious when i was asking about the uncertainty. "seems like a reliable method" "last i checked" "everyone is pulling at this stat system in different directions" "a lot of directions this project can go" i mean what the heck! you don't seem like you know what you are doing, or even what you want to do

also if you think you can "Work out every last little kink before official release in one year from now" holy looooooool
