BUFFALO GROVE, April 27 — A resident of the 1000 block of Shambliss Court reported that his six wooden patio chairs, stacked together, were sawed in half by somebody. The man said he has not had any problems with anyone lately, but several years ago neighbors were upset with him over the condition of his yard.
BUFFALO GROVE, April 25 — A resident of the 800 block of Vernon Court South complained about a neighbor who parks a car on the grass in his back yard. The neighbor has been cited in the past for the ordinance violation, police said. Officers attempted to make contact with the neighbor, but no one was home and they intended to follow up.
ELMHURST, April 27 — A $1,299 electric generator was reported taken at 2:10 p.m. on the 200 block of North Willow Road. A white man and a black man knocked on the victim’s back door the day after a moving sale and asked if the generator was still for sale. The victim said it was and allowed the men to load the generator into their station wagon “to see if it would fit.” One of the men asked for a pen to write a check, and when the victim went to get a pen, the vehicle pulled away.
PROSPECT HEIGHTS, April 20 — A woman in the 100 block of North Pine Street told police two men drove up to her home and said they would seal her driveway for $48. She agreed, but then they said they used 10 gallons of sealant, at $48 a gallon. They said that this added up to $850, which the woman paid them. She then called her son, who had her stop payment on the check.
DARIEN, April 27 — Steven L. Weber, 29, 2902 Sierra Ave., Plainfield, was arrested at 12:01 a.m. at 75th Street and Cass Avenue and charged with being a pedestrian under the influence of alcohol after he was seen walking in the roadway multiple times.

    As always, as the principal investigator I’m happy to field questions about the experiment here.

  2. Xena Says:

    Does the model take left image/right image into account? I imagine that’s about as relevant to the experiment as any of the other image properties.

    If they wanted more people to bet on him they would give him 25/1 odds dumbass

    InTrade is a much better assessment of Paul’s chances, and he’s at about 14:1 there.

  5. Martie Says:

    perhaps submitting another reddit story and then linking to it with appropriate spoiler warning? i’m almost more interested in the detection technique than the test itself… :)

    first?

    Broke on about #52; trees stopped loading (ff3 beta4), even reloading browser didn’t do anything.

    How is the test different than before?

  9. Beaumont Says:

    The title is slightly misleading. Those are his odds of winning the GOP nomination. The odds he is elected president are 16-1.

  10. Keely Says:

    I’ll try to put that data together and post a link to it here.
