Ask HN: MIT Billion Prices Project

6 pointstmaly2 comments

I recall this MIT project to track inflation in real time using online prices. I am not sure what happened to it or why it did not continue.

I could see it being a super useful data source with the current inflation situation.

Does anyone know what happened to it?
