DigitalNate Silver is Doing a Reddit AMA Right NowBy Chris O'Shea|January 8, 2013ShareBy Chris O'Shea|January 8, 2013ShareNate Silver, political stat guru for The New York Times, is doing a “Ask Me Anything” for Reddit right now. Go ask him some questions. Smart ones.To whet your appetitie, here’s Silver’s take on if he’d ever unveil the formula that he uses:I’d certainly like to aim to increase the level of disclosure at 538 going forward. Sometimes what happens is that I have best intentions to write a super detailed, 5000-word methodology post, and then some senate candidate does or says something stupid, and I get caught up in the news cycle and it gets forgotten about. Which is a pretty lame excuse, I know. At the same time, 538 is a commercial business and the ability to license proprietary intellectual property is a fairly big part of how I make my living, so the disclosure would probably stop short of outright releasing source code or my database in most cases.
