Links for April 13
- soapUI. The Web Service, SOA and SOAP Testing Tool.
- Combine stats not created equal. Which statistics collected at the combine correlate with NFL success for running backs, and which are meaningless? This is a sports story, but the lesson is for everyone. Just because you measure something doesn’t mean it’s important.
- Marginal Revolution: Incentives are everywhere. Red light cameras create perverse incentives for municipalities. In this case, the red light camera that issues the most tickets in Texas features a yellow light shorter than the minimum recommended by the Texas DMV. Coincidence?
- Kottke.org: An interview with Robin Wilson. I did not know that the number of friends a band has on MySpace is a useful economic indicator.
- John Royal: Dick Vitale, Adrian Dantley, Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing and Hakeen Olajuwon Make the Hall of Fame, But What About Guy V. Lewis? It really is a hall of “fame,” not a hall of merit.
