Eric Floehr has a business that "holds a mirror up" to weather forecasters, and aggregates and evaluates forecasters for weather forecast consumers. Rationalists interested in improving our societies truth orientation might be mildly interested.
Wow. How many things are there out there like this, where you just vaguely assume that someone's already doing it - that weather companies are all data-crazy and keep every last byte and analyse it seven ways to Sunday and sell it in every way they can - and it turns out no-one was doing any such thing until this guy thought he'd write a Python script?
