Google links it with some music downloads but that album is from 1993
(Is that the original album cover?)
Maybe the Band just liked that phrase and others decided it was good
for some downloading site?

chemical concoction disolved a few milliseconds _before_ it was added
to water. And, if the handler had had no intention of adding the
chemical to the water... it wouldn't.
They decided to make prediction machine around this behavior.
That is, a person would firmly resolve to start the chain (kinda like
a domino effect) if the Dow-Jones hit a certain value, say. If you had
enough of these chains, you could accurately "predict" the future.
So, one guy predicted that _he_ was going to start the chain, but he
died before doing so. Since his _intent_ was still valid, as the date
approached, water started to be attracted to the chemical, but it had
for some reason been sequestered. Intense flooding ensued.

I remember that one, and another mood piece where a police
investigator watches a ten-year-old view of a murder scene to confirm
that the guy who was executed eight years ago really was the one who
did it.

Asimov had requested that the original story be published under a
pseudonym because he was afraid that parodying formal science would
undermine his PhD process.

Science Fiction but it wasn't a story; it was published as an article
in that magazine around 1948 or 1949.
