We shared this request example with FAB participants: url_qparams = { "limit": count, "offset": offset, "has_group": "false", "order_by": "-activity", "forecast_type": "binary", "project": tournament_id, "status": "open", "type": "forecast", "include_description": "true", } url = f"{api_info.base_url}/questions/" response = requests.get( url, headers={"Authorization": f"Token {api_info.token}"}, params=url_qparams )
But we don't want to support all these parameters, and the ones relevant are: - order_by - status - project - forecast_type - we ignore this, but assume it's binary - FAB only supports binary for now.

are not terribly uncommon in the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_the_United_States), but large-scale rioting is quite rare. One of the most severe incidents in recent history was the [1992 Los Angeles riots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots), during which more than 60 people were killed, more than 2,350 people were injured, and more than 12,000 people were arrested. Property damage was estimated at more than $1bn. \n\nAs of March 2020, the US is affected by the ongoing [COVID-19 pandemic.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic) Several large population centers have been [effectively shut down as a result of government orders that attempt to slow the spread of the pandemic.](https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-state-by-state-guide-to-coronavirus-lockdowns-11584749351)\n\nAs a result of the pandemic and associated economic shutdowns, [incidents of panic buying have been reported,](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/nyregion/coronavirus-panic-buying.html) and [dire predictions of severe economic contraction have been made.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8135947/US-coronavirus-Goldman-Sachs-forecasts-staggering-24-drop-Q2-GDP.html) \n\nGiven the potential socio-economic impact of the pandemic, it may become increasingly difficult for many people to maintain their employment or other income source, and as of March 22 2020 it is unclear if the US government will offer all citizens a sufficient measure of economic support during the crisis to maintain the social order.\n\nThis question asks: **Will the United States experience an incident of a massive riot in 2020?**\n\nFor the purposes of this question, 'massive riot' is defined as an event of rioting or civil unrest in which any of the following conditions is met:\n\n> 1. At least 50 people die due to violence, either due to the actions of rioters or other civilians, or police, military, national guard, or other law enforcement or government agents. \n\n> 2. At least 10,000 people are arrested by police, military, national guard, or other law enforcement or government agents.\n\n> 3. Property damages are credibly estimated at $1 billion or more. This estimate may come from either the local government of the locality in which the incident takes place, the state government, the federal government, or a major US news publication such as the New York Times, Washington Post, or major broadcast news networks.\n\nSuch events should take place in a 100km radius, and within 14 days. As an example, the LA riots would count, but rioting that is spread across all of California or that occurs in separate phases over a long time period would not count if no single incident met any of the above criteria.\n\nResolution should cite a government statement or credible news reports that indicate that any of the above conditions have been met by an event of rioting.\n\n*ETA 2020-06-03: For homicides to count toward the overall death toll, the deaths have to occur within the context of an event of rioting or civil unrest; deaths from a generic mass shooting or a series of homicides that occur outside of the context of a riot shouldn't count towards the 50.*", "fine_print": "", "post_id": 3900, "aggregations": { "recency_weighted": { "history": [ { "start_time":

Republic of Germany passed the *[German Emergency Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Emergency_Acts)*, changing, adding or removing more than two dozen paragraphs in their Basic Law (constitution). These would allow the federal government to limit basic rights and liberties as well as freedom of movement, enforce federal law on the states, use of armed forces within Germany to put down insurgencies, and so forth. At the same time, and to assuage worries of critics, the act also introduced the *right to resist*, which granted the \"right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available.\"\n\nAll this was necessary due to Germanyβs problematic history with emergency acts and enabling acts, in particular during the [Weimar Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar_Republic) and [the consequences that followed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany).\n\nAs such the emergency powers granted by the German Emergency Act were handled very carefully by current and past governments. For instance: Only under need of substantial help in catastrophic circumstances like the 1997 Oder Flood were soldiers ever deployed within German borders.\n\nFurther complicated is this by the lack of consensus positions and opinions in constitutional law, since these powers were very rarely needed, let alone used.\n\nYet the German government retains these capabilities, hesitant as it may be, to issue decrees that overrule, countermand and limit states rights and powers *if* the federal government deems them necessary [in light of catastrophic circumstances](https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/notstandsgesetze-deutschland-101.html).\n\nAs the saying goes, sometimes needs must.\n\n**Will Germany make use of its Emergency Acts in light of COVID-19?**\n\n* Resolves positively if the Federal government infringes on states rights and powers in direct relation to COVID-19 before 2022.\n* Resolves negatively if such an infringement doesnβt happen.\n* Resolves ambiguously if an emergency acts / decrees infringement occurs during the 2020 pandemic that is not immediately related to COVID-19.\n* This question will close retroactively 3

However, it has been speculated that the U.S dollar may be supplanted by the euro or the renminbi, or may diminish in importance.\n\n**Will the USD be the dominant global reserve currency in 2050?**\n\nQuestion resolves positively if the **most recently released** percentage of allocated global foreign currency reserves comprising of the U.S dollar, by year-end 2050, is over 50%. Per moderator discretion, if the IMF has ceased publication of COFER in lieu of a new publication containing the same statistics, the new publication will be used instead.\n\nQuestion resolves as

However, \"worlds\" are merely convenient abstractions, and are not fundamental to the theory's main statement. \n\nThe other names of the many-worlds interpretation include \"the relative state formulation\", \"the Everett interpretation\", and \"the theory of the universal wavefunction.\"\n\nThis question resolves positively if by 1/1/2050 a poll of professional physicists with at least 100 responses reveals that more than half accept the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, as I have described above.

In 2011, the value of one bitcoin rapidly rose from about $0.30 to $32 before returning to $2. In the latter half of 2012 and during the 2012β13 Cypriot financial crisis, the bitcoin price began to rise again, reaching a high of $266 on 10 April 2013, before crashing to around $50. On 29 November 2013, the cost of one bitcoin rose to a peak of $1,242. In 2014, the price fell sharply, and as of April remained depressed at little more than half 2013 prices. As of August 2014 it was under $600.\n\nBitcoin prices reached their apogee in December 2017, at just shy of $20,000 per coin. Since then, prices have fallen roughly in half, and as of March 10, 2020 one bitcoin is valued at approximately $7,900. \n\n***Will the value of 1 bitcoin fall to $1,000 or less before 2025?***\n\nThis question will resolve as **Yes** if one bitcoin is valued at less than $1,000 USD at any time between March 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025, according to credible press reports, or a major cryptocurrency exchange or trading platform.\n\nA flash crash or market manipulation will suffice to resolve the question (so long as the genuine trading price is within the threshold).",
