Stupid Questions (10/27/2014)

I think it's past time for another Stupid Questions thread, so here we go. 

 

This thread is for asking any questions that might seem obvious, tangential, silly or what-have-you. Please respect people trying to fix any ignorance they might have, rather than mocking that ignorance.

If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.

We're looking to commission something like 10-20 articles on transfection for a website we're developing, whatistransfection.com. I'm interested in hearing from lesswrongers in biotech or who are grad students in the field looking for some freelance writing work. You can email me at drethelin@gmail.com

Public Donation List or Putting Peer Pressure to Good Use

The recent top level post encouraging people to donate in support of Luke had a lot of a comments saying that it helped remind them to donate at all, simply by bringing it to their attention. I think this is a useful function, and the more people that publicly state that they are donating the stronger the peer pressure on people to donate. I have a recurring monthly donation of 500 dollars, and recently donated 2000 in support of lukeprog and because it is currently getting doubled. Please, if you are willing, comment on this post with donation amounts! Any amount is useful to talk about, even if you think it's less than what other people are donating, because for every person that can donate a large amount there is a large amount of people that can donate a small amount. We should encourage and reinforce donation behavior at all levels.
