Discussion article for the meetup : Tel Aviv Meetup: Rump Session
WHEN: 25 November 2014 07:00:00PM (+0200) WHERE: Google, Electra Tower 29th Floor, Yigal Alon Street 98, Tel Aviv.
It's going to be a Rump Session. Each speaker gets 4 minutes to talk, with a 3 minute encore if we applaud hard enough. So, come with an idea or two. It's optional, but everyone is encouraged to talk about whatever they want: science, poetry, history, decision theory, rationality, life, the universe, and everything else.
We'll start the meetup at 19:00, and we'll go on as much as we like to. Feel free to come a little bit later.
We'll meet at the 29th floor of the building. (Note: Not the 34th where Google Campus is.) If you arrive and can't find your way around, call Anatoly who is very graciously hosting us at 054-245-1060 or Joshua at 054-569-1165
Why come: - You'll get to hang out with awesome people and have fun! - You'll hear ideas that you have never heard, in snippets short enough that you never get bored. - You'll get an appreciative audience, in snippets short enough that you never run out of things to say.
If you have any question feel free to send me a Private Message.
Is there a specific reason why LessWrong meetups are not being published in meetup.com?
We discussed that in the Tel Aviv LW group. Meetup.com costs money. We'd pay if it's worthwhile--Is it? I note that there are only 5 LessWrong groups at Meetup of which 2-3 are active. I'll appreciate feedback on the usefulness of Meetup. ( I'll also put this comment in an open thread so more people see it.)
