    From: Robin Hanson

    ...I've spend the entire last day doing interviews with various
    reporters. My
    15 minutes of infame, to match my promised 15 minutes of fame. Will go
    back to my usual oddball, sometimes-posting self in a few days I
    suppose...Robin Hanson.

    Robin, I will get my 15 minutes of fame just from be
    acquainted with you. The front page banner headline of
    the San Francisco Chronicle, above the Bob Hope news,
    was the DARPAs terrorist betting story. They took
    your name in vain early and often. The San Jose
    Merc also ran a big article, but on page 3, and no
    mention of Dr. Hanson. Between them, thats a
    couple million pairs of eyes. Saved both articles,
    shall I mail them?

    I showed the story around the office and saw something
    that I am at a loss to explain. There was about an
    evenly divided opinion, but the for/against axis
    went roughly along the conservative/liberal faultline.
    Can anyone offer an explanation to why the rightwing
    and upwing types tended toward favoring the idea and
    the others opposed?
