1. its better to rest on the walkway - not seeing any disagreement about this one. 2. its better to run off the walkway. Why? Walking normally is more expensive (in terms of time required to cover N distance) than walking on the walkway

I'd love to see a prisoner's dilemma experiment via MTurk. These tend to be financial in nature, though; can you set variable payment rates per task, depending on external factors?

This reminds me of that spider jpeg someone tried to pay a bill with a while back. How do you know that the mp3 has actually been deleted from the user's computer? Other than heavy-handed DRM, I don't see how that would be possible. For

What about variability and stride? A teacher's performance is likely to vary daily, as well between years. How do we know, rejecting a mediocre teacher, that she wouldn't have blossomed into a superstar? How do we know that the trigonome

What would the union be, though? 99% of programmers would not be overly ecstatic at 10x payments for stars. Are you suggesting a Rockstar Programmer Union, MENSA qualification required to join? Perhaps what Rockstar Programmers need are A

Had this idea just now. pg's reason for hackernews, from what I understood, was the decreasing quality of conversation on reddit. It may be interesting to see if this can be measured and qualified, and what applications this may have. The

Its interesting to me that he's not making eye contact. Does that project confidence ("I don't need to look at you to know that I've got your attention"), or am I overthinking this?

You get the benefit of inertia, if nothing else. Then again, I can't imagine how difficult this thing would be to take uphill.

Would't the experience of actually founding a start-up be a more valuable way to spend two years then working as an intern/executive assistant in a successful one?

Interesting idea. How are you going to keep signal vs noise ratios worthwhile for Journalists? If I'm launching a start-up and want to have to send out a press release, I need to either hire a PR agency or find a list of people I should e

Didn't like it, personally. The book cherry-picked examples to suit its thesis from the first page. Not that there isn't Wisdom in Crowds, but J.S didn't do himself any favors by picking and choosing facts. What would be interesting, woul

It tracks you by your email. Well, that was simple. Get a professional vs personal email, if you don't have both already, and manage them both using Gmail ( http://look.fo/how-to-manage-multiple-email-accounts-from-gm... ). Potentially, bu

Yes, precisely. This is how Facebook moved to address the initial news feed/mini feed issues. The current start-up is likely to be under similar constraints; unless they're everybody's friend, only publicly accessible information should be
