Well, why not?

  1. Finishing my analysis of predicting Google shutdowns

    Want Don't

  2. Doing more work on my Touhou music data compilation (descriptive statistics & regressing against unemployment rates)

    Want Don't

  3. Compiling cites on correlations of IQ with various desirable things as an example of a genuine halo effect in the real world

    Want Don't

  4. A rant on how geeks' self-centered traits and lack of understanding of things like tacit knowledge lead to deprecation of user-generated content, not caring about archiving practices, and blaming the victims

    Want Don't

  5. Trying to understand the confusing & contradictory literature on the relationship of IQ & Conscientiousness

    Want Don't

  6. A chapter-by-chapter commentary on Drescher's Good and Real, optimistically including any commentary online or in academia, and over-optimistically including some Haskell to work with his Quantish universe (a project I've mulled for the past few years but never started, interested in whether there's major LW interest and I should push it way forward)

    Want Don't

Submitting...

Could your rant about geeks add bad user interfaces to the list of problems?

Regarding Good and Real, I didn't manage to work out the EPR experiment. It would be nice to see someone else make sense of it.
