It's kind of a fun concept. Your scores are your money. I suppose it would also be good to have a levels system where you gain xp or ranks for juggling your finances well. You set goals for yourself, do daily tallies that give you a discree

I always thought that RPG's make their impact by giving people a constant stream of small, finite rewards. Growing numbers and flashing lights are something that just seems to fill people with an addictive pleasure, e.g. slot machines. What

I'd actually love the same kind of app for finances. It would be pretty easy to set short term goals automatically using Mint or another financial service.

I really couldn't say. It could be as simple as that. It could be that he was under investigation for something and he bargained for immunity. It could be that he was under the impression that he was being investigated and felt that fingeri

If I were involved in the high stakes game he is, I'd be a bit more emotional, a bit more eager to convey the fact that I'm a human being who makes decisions that have consequences outside the purvey of my own foresight. But Lamo continuous

I've been enjoying Dan Savage's Lovecast a lot - http://podcasts.thestranger.com/savagelove/archives.php He's an adorably snarky sex advice columnist.

He's a cofounder, though I'm not sure how much he is involved these days.

I think a more apt example would be if you knew of the address of a meth lab. Meth labs are often heavily defended. You give the address of the meth lab to the police, knowing that when busting it some police officers may lose their lives.

I concur. Additionally I think it's interesting how blame is being specifically ascribed to Jake and Julian, the most visible speakers for wilileaks, when the number of people contributing, editing, managing, and supporting wikileaks is in

I don't want to engage in a long discussion, especially as I'm not acquainted with all the facts, but who is held accountable for the deaths caused by our government funding a security organization that directly undermines efforts in Afghan

I wonder if this is part of a policy to try and debase wikileaks by making it clear that if you affiliate with them or support them that life will be made hard for you. I know Jake. I was a member of Noisebridge. I feel the work that Wikile

Advertising would annoy me so much less if I perceived products as less expensive when they featured advertising. For example I feel incredibly ripped off that films have increasingly long rolls of trailers, ads, and commercials that run be

What's especially sad is that pipe organs (not often from the 14th century, but still old and incredible ones) are being gutted daily to make way for digital music systems. It ends up being less expensive for churches, and frees up more sea

Although I appreciate the thought and attention that goes into articles written for LessWrong, the language is often difficult to unpack. Take the term "Pareto-efficient society" used in the first paragraph. This is a term I'm incredibly un

I often wonder what is at the heart of massive snooping/censorship schemes like these. I'm still waiting on the data that supports a link between violent media and violent people, sexually explicit pictures and acts of sexual violence, and

Would you consider working with Iphone app developers to make money tracking and spending actionable? I've wanted this tool for a few years now. If I set my expenses, say utilities, rent, insurance, and car payments in a system that also tr

Good luck with it. There seem to be decent statistics on the benefits of various physical therapies and the recovery of patients. I suppose it would be a good pitch to narrow your target down to the most successful areas and methods of trea

My goal at the moment is to put a product out on the market. I've made a lot of free/open source/one-off projects that had potential to go further with a little investment. I'm currently taking one design, and getting it on shelves, being s
