How does that differ from "Sort By:New"?

That's in a tree. (new posts under old ones won't be before the old ones)

Sorting Comments

I'd like to be able to sort comments as a list, too.

An example of this would be sorting comments by new as a list so all the comments you read will be new ones.

If one identity goes down in flames after a particularly unpopular posting, it doesn't exhaust my "karma" capital.

One purpose of (significantly) negative (total) Karma is to indicate when a user should be kicked out. Limiting this damage damages the forum. ("A particularly unpopular posting" is not normally the issue, it's usually the systematic failure to respond to negative feedback, including by stopping to post in particular modes or at all.)

Some people might downvote everything another has ever said out of spite.

Some might gather a group of friends to downvote a comment they don't like.

It's like giving everyone a double vote.

We don't kick people out of real life for disagreeing with us. (some do but no)

Users should never be kicked out. Downvotes shouldn't exist. Baring extreme scenarios, a system of upvotes should sort everything out.

(hesitantly) And total karma shouldn't exist. You should feel good for making a good comment, but not for making good comments in the past.

Awesome, I'm creating my own recipe based off of yours.

Do you mix all of your ingredients together, including the chicken and the supplements?

Comment author: troll 31 March 2013 07:15:49AM 1 point [-]

No. If you look at an entry under Edward, you'll find a function for how the value is calculated. The function tells you the ingredients.

I don't mix pills/tablets into the shake because they don't mix. Salt does mix. This is also a slightly dated recipe due to weird texture/taste combinations making the shake inedible. (add more water)

Chicken tastes like shit in a shake from recent experience.

I've had an identical project for a few months now.

A spreadsheet (under Edward) for ingredients and supplements for my shake which is missing potassium and fiber. (which are provided for with KCl salt and oats) RDAs are also not fixed for 1.5x caloric intake.

This is designed with weightlifting, preparation time, mobility, and close to 3000 cals/day in mind.

Overall cost is $3.84/day/person.

Tastes like thicker strawberry milk.

Updated spreadsheet with price distribution and complete RDAs (except phosphorous/pantathenic acid). $4.36/day/person

I expect the price to go down once the ingredients stabilize and I start buying in bulk.

How do you know motivation is multiplicative?

I'm sure you're aware at this point, but with that description you blend into the wallpaper.

Thank you for creating a comment to link "stereotypical Less Wrong reader". If only you were a couple of years older.

Since you're 17, have you looked into the week-long summer camp?

Comment author: troll 24 April 2012 10:42:23PM 1 point [-]

I have and I have submitted an application.

Anti-contrarian?

Comment author: troll 24 April 2012 10:25:06PM 2 points [-]

If you mean 'against people who are contrarian', no. If you mean 'for popular opinions', no.

"Minimalist" is implied by the sparsity of the rest of the comment, and so is ironically redundant.

Comment author: troll 17 April 2012 10:39:47PM 9 points [-]

There are a few other reasons I could be formatting my introduction that way, such as being bad at English or writing in general. I used "minimalist" both as a heads up for the format and to draw away from the other possible explanations.
