Is the purpose behind this decision to prevent others from putting out fake SIAI papers, to deny the benefit of SIAI's effort to potential competitors, or something else?
Don't know. I'm just a minion! I can only speculate based on what reasoning I would use in Luke's place.
It's analogous to not handing out your letterhead in the days before copiers.
Each employee has a timesheet (on Google Docs) where they report their hours along with a description of what they spent those hours on. This doesn't allow for fine grained analysis of how effective each worker is (or if they are embellishing slightly), but it's enough to ensure that any substantial miss reporting does not occur.
I see. As an EVE player, I know all about Google Docs timesheets...
Sorry, I don't understand the question. Could you elaborate?
Basically, how do you count the hours?
I am curious, how does it work out as an hourly-rate thing?
LessWrongers maybe? Instead of LessWrongians?
Better than "rationalists".
Another excerpt concerns the Kabbalic interpretation of automobiles; I find it hysterical.
Funny, indeed, but I had to fish your website out of the Google cache to read it!

The formatting for this page is really broken for me. I use Opera 11.whatever the latest is.
About that first paragraph, I usually was going to buy something anyway, but I want to buy it after I've used the bathroom, because who would want to carry their drink or whatever into a public bathroom?

Men in Black on guessing the teacher's password:
Zed: You're all here because you are the best of the best. Marines, air force, navy SEALs, army rangers, NYPD. And we're looking for one of you. Just one.
[...]
Edwards: Maybe you already answered this, but, why exactly are we here?
Zed: [noticing a recruit raising his hand] Son?
Jenson: Second Lieutenant, Jake Jenson. West Point. Graduate with honors. We're here because you are looking for the best of the best of the best, sir! [throws Edwards a contemptible glance]
[Edwards laughs]
Zed: What's so funny, Edwards?
Edwards: Boy, Captain America over here! "The best of the best of the best, sir!" "With honors." Yeah, he's just really excited and he has no clue why we're here. That's just, that's very funny to me.
