The two tooth storage services I looked at both cost US $120/year. One time fees were in the $600-1800 range. Both figure for up to four teeth extracted simultaneously.

This is not a test as to whether we should judge the truth by what the church condemns, but rather for the OP’s thesis that they are/were not specifically opposing the progress of truth on an object level.
Galileo was eventually demonstrated correct. Were there trials where the church was eventually demonstrated correct?
I would hazard that cloning comes a lot closer to 100% fidelity than a child comes to 50% fidelity. In any case, one cannot transfer their self to clones or children with our current means—I doubt one can even convey 1%.
Upvoted for cuteness.
However, my understanding is that technology has already reached the level of making copies with ~100% of hardware fidelity.
Note—images and links are broken.
Noticing when you’re confused and confidence calibration are two rationality skills that are necessary to have in your system 1 in order to progress as a rationalist… and much of instrumental rationality can be construed as retraining system 1.
There is a dependency tree for Eliezer Yudkowsky’s early posts. It’s not terribly pretty, but with a couple hours and a decent data presentation toolkit someone could probably make a pretty graphical version. It doesn’t include a lot of later contributions by other people, but it’d be a start.
Consider it to be public domain.
If you pull the image from it’s current location and message me when you add more folks I might even update it. Or I can send you my data if you want to go for a more consistency.
Birth Year vs Foom:
A bit less striking than the famous enough to have Google pop up their birth year subset (green).
The subset that you can get birth years off the first page of a google search of their name (n=9), has a pretty clear correlation with younger people believing in harder takeoff. (I’ll update if I get time to dig out other’s birth years.)
In electronics, one designs a system from smaller components to fulfill a particular function. How is this not programming?
My objection to electronics is rather that it has a slower feedback cycle and a higher barrier to entry—to do anything complicated you need all the things you need for programming plus actual parts.
You cannot date independently. Dating requires at least one other person. One of the amazing things about programming is that I can sit down anywhere at any time and create. Computers are handy, but even pencil and paper will do in a pinch.
How different would this be with age as the x axis?
Oh no! I forgot to leave my evidence.
May is in the data, a copy-paste error is much less astounding than nobody being born in May.
119 respondents, nothing surprising here.
I am poly with a toddler. Polyness doesn’t seem to come into my parenting much beyond that there are more people who care more strongly about my child’s well being. (My co-parent and I provide all the care.)
Um. I think those are non-central poly relationships for this community. Usually it seems like both men and women (and others) have or are interested in having multiple partners. Women appear to have more partners on average, but those that have exactly one are more likely not to be looking for more. Unfortunately the sample size is kinda small, so that’s probably not very meaningful. (data from the 2013 survey)
Update from the 2014 data—with the introduction of “and possibly open to more relationships partners” the number of poly people (except of nontraditional genders) with one partner who are currently not looking for more relationship partners dropped significantly. Women 6:4→2:12:5, Men 27:37→11:39:21, Other 1:5→4:5:2.
Might much of happiness comes from positional goods rather than absolute goods?
They want them frozen immediately, shipped in an insulated box with an ice pack, and then they extract cells and store the cells cryogenically. So that’s probably not sufficient.
