Resolves yes if lesswrong's new debate feature still exists at market close. Resolves yes early if this is easy to determine, but if the feature is a real permanent feature and yet gets pulled temporarily after april fools, then as long as it comes back before market close, market still resolves yes.

So, everyone thought it would... but I can't figure out how to use it. Uhoh. LW devs, what's going on? I'll take a few days to resolve it to be sure I get it right, but I suspect this may be a no after all.

@L the good news is the biggest loss is a lesswrong dev, so at least it means some accountability! ;) @JamesBabcock

predictedYES

@L Someone was clearly able to use it after april fools. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/M6dRmRtsBsxWTpeye/talking-about-mentorship

predictedYES
