Markets in everything: Kaggle

Kaggle is a website to set up prediction competitions. What a great idea! Somebody uploads the data, and number crunchers all over the world will compete for the best predictions. The themes range from the mundane (Eurovision voting *) to the important (HIV progression).
(HT More or Less).

(*BTW,the unexpected winner of Eurovision 2010 is the perfect guilty pleasure song).

The growth of markets has undoubtedly brought many benefits to society, such as increased efficiency, innovation, and economic growth. However, there are also some potential downsides to the proliferation of markets. One concern is that markets can lead to the commodification of goods and services that were previously considered social goods. For example, some people argue that the commercialization of education or healthcare can lead to the exclusion of disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford to participate in these markets. Additionally, some critics argue that markets can lead to a culture of individualism, where people prioritize their own self-interest over the collective good.
