Spiracular comments on Bioinfohazards

[Spiracular]

Here’s a simplification of my current assessment heuristic...

• What order-of-magnitude is the audience? (a multiplier)

  • Any relevant audience skews/​filters?

  • What are the tails?

• What’s the trade-off for offense vs defense? (+/​- direction, & size)

  • Is it + or—overall? How big?

  • Do any points swamp the others in importance?

• What am I not easily factoring in? Are there any gotchas? (checklist + Murphyjutsu)

  • Future Advances

  • Idea Inoculation

  • Second-degree and unintended audiences

  • Murphyjutsu it

• Sanity Check: Other

  • Roughly how much do I actually trust the judgement I reached?

    • Should I sleep on it? Withhold it?

  • Anyone I should run things by?
