I think the answer will be highly dependent on the question. The opportunity cost of someone answering a q-n on yoga (being a yoga expert) is very different from someone answering an investment question.
Sure. But (for you, in particular), what are some examples of types of questions and the amount you’d need, at different degrees of difficulty?
(Might also be a good time to share what fields of expertise you have, to get a sense of what domains LW might be particularly good at thinking seriously about)
Sure. I know something about general CS stuff, ML, applied Bayesian stats and finance. Generally I would not be answering questions for a bounty (I’m well compensated to do this at work and I don’t want *more work*) but would spend some time if I think it helped people of contributed to an important body of knowledge. For me it comes from a different “time budget”. I realize many people would feel differently but there’s probably a class of people like me.
