Eliezer Yudkowsky and Andrew Gelman on Bloggingheads: Percontations: The Nature of Probability

I haven't watched it yet, but the set-up suggests it could focus a discussion, so should probably be given a top-level post.

I watched it and it ends abruptely so maybe Eliezer is trying to fix that. One interesting thing in the discussion was the Netflix challenge, unfortunately they didn't get much into it. Would a simpler method be able to solve it more efficiently?
