Sure, I will message you the zoom link.
I extinguished 4 such behaviors in the last couple years. I made a tally every time I did the behavior (on my phone). So the TAP was
Do behavior -> Open phone
At the end of each week I gave my friend some money - a dime for each tally. Several years ago I tried to extinguish nose-picking and succeeded, but relapsed after 6-12 months, and basically trying again in a similar way worked a second time.
Like mr-hire I like the topic choice and think lesswrong would get value out of it.
However, you included 0 image links, as far as I can tell. If I'm an unfashionable male, how do I know what a "light" or "dark" navy is? How do I know what a "chino" is?
Also this entire post could have been a linkpost to r/malefashionadvice, which appears to be the source of most of your advice.
Really fun writing style. Nit: Quotes, e.g. the one by Darwin about the Silurian, should be distinguished in some way.
I have taken the survey.
[Survey Taken Thread]
By ancient tradition, if you take the survey you may comment saying you have done so here, and people will upvote you and you will get karma.
Let's make these comments a reply to this post. That way we continue the tradition, but keep the discussion a bit cleaner.
I took the survey. It's probably my favorite survey of each year :) Thanks.
Done.
I have taken the survey.
Survey taken!
I have taken the survey, please shower me in karma.
I have completed the survey and upvoted everyone else on this thread
I've taken the survey.
I have taken the survey!
I either have taken the survey in the last couple of hours, or have begun taking it and hereby commit to submitting a completed survey in the next couple of hours.
(Expressed in this form so as not to leak information about which survey is whose.)
[EDITED to add:] This is just to confirm that I have in fact completed the survey. I have also upvoted all the other taken-the-survey comments currently present.
I took the survey, phew that was long. I added a public key for what it's worth.
I did it!
I have taken the survey... away from everyone.
No one can have it.
It lives under my bed now.

It is done.

I took the survey. I feel like the questions that ask for numeric answers about the probability of AI risk should have been optional because I have very weak fews about them
Taken!

I have taken the survey. I don't remember there being a public key question at the end of the last one though, which is a shame since that obviously means I don't remember what mine was last time.
I took the survey. Towards a better future!

Moved to Apr 28 to avoid Easter!
Thanks, these are excellent highlight reels.
Self-explanatory title. The list is rather rambling and not terribly comprehensive, but I found it worthwhile nonetheless.
Here's a summary, of sorts. OP also discusses what can be done about manipulation, in a way relevant for lesswrong.
When I first tried to post this I accidentally saved as draft first and it ended up pointing to itself, so I'm reposting. Thanks satt.
Thanks. Not sure how I caused that, or how to fix it, so I'm deleting and reposting the link.

Perhaps the key takeaway here is the useful word 'pabulum'.
Really fantastic that you started an effective charity! Everything about your approach is awesome. I hope the rest of your top 8 get test driven (by you or others) someday as well.
Generally I agree with the spreadsheeting concept. There's also Guesstimate for when your weights and uncertainties are numerical.
I don't think there's a mailing list yet. We could move some or all of the meetups to evenings/weekends if there's interest. Help me gather preferred times.
David_Kristoffersson has proposed a meetup this Friday. I've set it for 17:00 in light of your comment.
Yes, in the KTH computer science building.
Yes, it's UTC+2. It's 15:00 local time.
Awesome, thanks! Also, I'm glad to see there are lesswrongers about.

If that happened in the modern world, technological civilization might end and never be restarted. The modern world depends on hugely complex infrastructure and tons of different industries and inputs. If we lose that, it would be very difficult to rebuild. We've already extracted most of the easy to get to minerals and fossil fuels. Much farmland has been degraded from overuse and depends on inputs of fertilizer, irrigation systems, and of course modern machinery which would be difficult to replace.

I disagree. Sure, research shows that memory formation is improved when you relax. If I want to remember a specific fact though, it helps me to mentally search for contextual clues around where I learned the fact.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong though - any research or convincing anecdotes on this?
That's an interesting idea and yes, I think it would help. It seems you can find cable sleeves in this style, though I'm only seeing them in bulk.
For injuries
R> sum(sapply(seq((80-30), 0), function(t) { 5000 * 3.431544214e-09 * t * 0.97^t * 0.63 * 50000 })) # [1] 264.9444032

This is a really great link!
If your resume lists sufficient credentials (high SAT scores or gpa, attending or graduated from a good college, or previous tutoring experience) it's easy to get a job at a tutoring agency. They take a 50-70% cut of earnings, leaving you with $11-35/hr. There are many such agencies both for in-office and in-home, mostly 1-on-1. Agencies exist that focus on test-prep (preparing for the SAT, mostly), that focus on supplementing an existing class, or both. If you don't have the credentials, it's still worth a shot to apply.
Alternatively, you can advertise on...
If you dig down 3 links you find the Commuter's Paradox. I found this paper to use very reasonable controls and explain itself well. Sadly, it doesn't address your question about different modes of transportation.
Strangeattractor has made many excellent points here. Let me add a bit:
StackOverflow has the most detailed data I've seen on features that make software jobs satisfying: http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#work
The city you work in affects the salary pool that companies compete against with their offers. San Francisco, New York, and Seattle are much higher paid than other cities, and the USA is much higher paid than any other country. Big companies also pay more.
Lastly, apply to many companies simultaneously. If you have 2 or more offers...
This is a cool idea, and a cool source for a rational anki deck. I'd post mine, but I don't add any custom spellings to chrome.
Could you elaborate on why squatting is a clear win? I took a brief look online and the evidence seems to favor squatting, but not hugely: https://skeptoid.com/blog/2015/09/26/squatty-potty/
Regardless, thanks for the list!
Did you ever write up your results? They would make a valuable addition to the historical data.
you're an outsider
Jonah has something like 91 posts and has been posting since May 2013.
I'd like to point out that the 2014 survey found 7.0% of LWers to have PhDs and 2.9% to have other professional degrees. These objective measures are considered by society at large to be of roughly equal intellectual caliber. You probably don't outstrip this roughly 1 in 10 lesswrongers by a such a large margin.
Of course, the survey results may not be accurate. Furthermore while most of those degrees are in sciences, only a handful are in math or a close field. Thus if you consider math to require higher intellectual caliber (as I'm sure we both do) then y...
Not sure if your comment is critical or amused. This naming scheme is the standard I've been using for a while but I could add something like "Story: " or "Stockholm SSC: ".
