I've asked Jeff Fohl to read out the following at the On-site Meetup today:
I have to withdraw from judging these excellent entries, both those competing for the prizes, and especially those who contributed just for the science. I found out at 10am your time that everyone who had been promised a live view of today would instead see an edited version some time in the next week or two. This kind of treatment of those unable to either work for Numenta or travel half way across the world to attend is something we pointed out earlier this year. I don't understand it, and it pisses me off in a way I won't be explicit about now. Best of luck to all competitors, you're all winners.
