I'd love an invite - thanks!

Yeah, I used to hang out at the NYC LW meetup a lot, it was a lot of fun. I agree that the second message is better in pretty much every way, but I'm not sure they're mutually exclusive in that I think they fall on different parts

EY is still just as involved as he was before, no? Vassar having left probably helps with the crackpot perception (I do not personally have an opinion on the matter, I just know that that's the impression he gives many folks). But gi

The MIRI folks (intelligence.org) are trying to address exactly that, though I'm sure some consider them crackpots.

Actually, this just shows that believing you will perform better improves performance. They weren't just told they'd slept better, they were also told that sleeping better improves performance: >The researchers then gave the p

Do you have a source for this? I've worked on user data and privacy-related stuff (I work on Maps, not Calendar) and everyone involved took it extremely seriously. We sent PMs back to the drawing board more than once when we found ed

My Galaxy Nexus never did that either, and I used it for a good two years. Which phone do you have that works so badly?

> Dr. Collier is a psychology professor at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, S.C. I don't mean to sound elitist, but it's not like he's teaching math at Courant or CS at MIT. What does he expect from students

I'd say yes, there is, if people are choosing the San Jose option.

I dated a few (attractive/high status) women in NYC whom I met at meetups about things like rationality and graph theory, the last of whom is now my wife. You really have to actively seclude yourself to have a quiet dating life in NYC

I think the related but slightly more general claim is that you cannot update your beliefs in the same direction for both of two exhaustive and exclusive outcomes. In this case, if people disagreeing with you reinforces your beliefs, then

You certainly have a choice about where to live. You can easily live in a decent part of Manhattan on 130k - you'll pay more for less space, but have more time (shorter commute) and likely a better social life. If you're working

If you don't mind my asking, what role were you hired for? Were you part of an acquisition? I also joined in 2011 (SWE, normal hiring process) and my experience has been nearly the opposite of yours.

You're not wrong, that's what I meant. Well, and that the tunica albuginea is bluish, I believe.

Sorry to be crude, but there is a very non-arbitrary reason for pink to be associated with females (and to a lesser extent, blue with males). In fact I always assumed this was indeed the cause for the association - I'm very surprised

My personal perspective is that Google wants people using performant, standards-compliant browsers. Doesn't matter who made it.

Do you have an explanation for why OP is wrong beyond that you find his claim aesthetically displeasing?

As a product of the American public school system, I assure you that American slavery is something that is very present in the national consciousness.

Would be pretty hard for Nate Silver to predict all 50 states of a rigged election with public poll data...

That seems like a pedantic point. I don't think the part after the "from" in the first line of the parent comment really matters that much. Is anyone stopping the "certain demographics" in question from doing anything?

The context of this comment thread is Netflix, which no one can reasonably claim to believe to be selling, rather than streaming, content. In the case of sales, I absolutely agree with you that DRM sucks and is misleading (perhaps to the po

Why do you think I wasn't being objective? Or by "objective" do you actually mean the opposite (i.e. that I always have to be critical of Google, which is precisely as objective as never being critical of Google)? We are very critical inte

Oh, well then, I totally disagree with you; I think the article was totally incoherent. But I don't downvote just for disagreement on HN.
