Oh right, I forgot this part. I have taken the survey (like two weeks ago)

Namecoin is an attempt to use a blockchain to implement a decentralized DNS. (It also has an associated cryptocurrency, but that’s not the important part.) I know someone who is doing some domain squatting on this. I don’t think it’s particularly likely to take over the current DNS, but names are only a few cents.
Only when being good at a game increases your propensity to play it. In my personal experience I think that’s been true for less than half the games I’ve played.
I actually have a list of about ten of these, which I will happily make available on request (i.e. I’ll write another discussion post about them if people are interested) but I don’t want the whole discussion of this post to be about this one single issue, which it was when I tried the content of the post out on my friend. This is about the cryonics strategy-space only, not the living-forever strategy space, which is much bigger
I would like that, I am far more interested in the general live forever space.
Any ecosystems which do not involve more suffering than pleasure shouldn’t be exterminated, by that line of reasoning.
I believe the question is about things that are currently being done, not potential ways to legally maximize utility loss.
Huh, same here, it was much easier than I expected. Elsewhere in the comments, buybuydandavis noted a distinction between ‘hearing’ and ‘saying’, and I think that’s what’s going on here, for me it least. I say what I’m counting, but mostly hear what I’m reading.
I can’t read while listening to someone, so at least somewhat different things are going on between us.
My single datapoint says no. I almost always subvocalize, but get quite vivid pictures while reading.
I live in a region of the US where they are only sort of enforced.
In my experience people mostly ignore the speed limits and drive at whatever speed feels right for the circumstances. Speed limits might have a role in building peoples’ intuitions, though.
This is a link to the Google group which you can ask to join.
If I take a minute to locate the right source for an argument that’s completely fine for a discussion on Lesswrong and even IRC.
It’s not fine for a live face to face conversation.
I think that depends on local norms. In one of my old social groups finding information online was practically expected. It helped that conversations were generally between four or five people, so there could be related tangential discussion while someone was looking something up.
Another interpretation is that “trans identity” is a symptom of a diseased mind and culture, whereas a normal and healthy understanding of gender would understand that it’s simply the correct cultural roles assigned to each sex—either as part of a Schelling point necessitated by our need for roles and divisions of duty, or as part of inherent biological differences.
Until recently, there were a lot of trans people who had this interpretation of gender and the associated world-view, but just thought their minds had their identified gender’s biological characteristics so they fit better there. See “Harry Benjamin Syndrome”. Though I’ll warn you that it mostly fell out of favor before the modern internet, so there isn’t much information on it online.
I found the WAIS helpful, but only because it factored it into multiple components and the structure of my scores was illuminating. (I had a severe discrepency between two groups of components, and very little variation within them)
Also, reassignment surgery isn’t the same thing as socially and culturally transitioning.
This is a long time after the fact, but I found this.
Nevermind, you already covered this, though in a different fashion.
Surveyed. I liked the game.
If there are any naturalistic neopagans reading this, I’m curious how they answered the religion questions.
Mine also shows up indistinguished (I’ve noticed this a few other places on the site. And sometimes it is distinguished, but the line spacing is cramped). Firefox 54.0, Linux Mint 18.2
