@audiencon I Built an API That Knows When a Prediction Market Is Already Over
Most people try to predict outcomes. I built a system that waits until the answer is obvious — and gets there before everyone else.

I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!
My first year in case management we had an elderly woman found down at the grocery store. She was somnolent then confused. Frail. Kept mentioning a name when she finally woke up — we thought it might be a dog or cat so we called animal control.
It was her disabled son who hadn’t eaten in days, alone.
Our social nets are small and they are shrinking.
But hey, cute tractor video.
If I were pregnant and informed that my fetus had Down syndrome I would absolutely abort. No amount of social media romanticizing of profound disability would change my mind. Contrary to popular opinion, you need more than love to care for a disabled child.
