Point taken. It is less ambiguous like that. But is there other easy way to access meetup announcements other than via map on main page, so it became confusing in the first place?

Isn’t it exactly what army says? Putting all other things aside: “how many” is not the same thing as ’which percentage of” precisely because even if 90% of 100 children per couple dies we still have 10 children per couple and growth of population.
If public health initiatives lowers “percentage of” surviving children and at the same time lowers “birth rate” we still can have ether option—decrease or increase—based on “percentage * rate >< 2”
What did I missed here?
Das experiment—adaptation of Stanford Prison Experiment (most likely)
Compliance—based on real story of real-life crimes that were possible because of human compliance bugs.
Theese are quite darkish movies I guess. But it is really graphic exibition of human folly. And thru empathy it helps to internalise the horror that surround us, and it really motivated me to study heuristics, biases and resarch on debiasing.
On the page of your announcement there got to be link “Edit meetup”. It will let you edit anithing you need.

Thank you very much for bringing this activity to attention! I’ve tried to run it on st.petersburg meetup and it was delighting. There were only three people present, but it still was very nice.
It is good news! Can you give name or link to that paper?
First: I think that it is a great idea, I would like to run it at our local meetups. Maybe even with small amounts of cash incentives.
Second: (Off-topic) I am native russian speaker. I was dumbfounded by spelling ‘dilemna’ and immediately googled it. If you are interested here is interesting review of the problem: http://www.dilemna.info/index.php I am quite shocked to discover that there is community with millions of people worldwide, who spell word ‘dilemma’ with an ‘n’...
You might want to work on using role that “notices when argues for a side instead of evaluating for which side to argue”. From rationality habits this might be one relatively simple to implement. Of course I have to work on it as well
If you could, please write something about which techniques you are going to use or point to the scourses. I tried, but didn´t find a lot of relevant material.
Meetup : Saint Petersburg meetup—“the lonely one”
Yeah. Although I always post notifications in russian social network (a lot of people subscribed to them) with poll “probability that I will attend” with choices “~1, ~.9 ~.7 ~.5 ~.2 ~0″. There were two people, who answered .7, and six with .2 which using my calibration data from last polls and attendance clearly suggested that this time I am going to be alone =)
Sadly there are really few people who know english and so wast majority know LW only by translations on lessrwong.ru—which is very good, but really is only about 7% of old Elizers sequences.
I finished reading Eli’s paper on TDT though)
Yes! This is exactly what I had in mind. HPMOR described special exercise that Harry tried on Chaos legion—one person is trying to say something obviously true, like “grass is green”, or “sky is blue” while others play as good as they can repultion and horror. This in theory should familiarize people with feelings assoсiated with lonely dissent and help them notice this biasing force when they actually will get into similar situation.
This might even be a good idea since for example in russian military every day when someone is instructed on his daily duties on guard—simulation of extreme situations is necessary part of this instructions.
From what I understand—third party companies get paid for referrals—for a search request and it is probably too costly to also check if they have adblock. so it probably works.
But seconded. Did you use adblock, katydee?
edited I just registered and even with AdBlock my first couple of searches show up as 3c to MIRI
Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene
Without the [view of life from gene perspective] there is no particular reason why an organism should ‘care’ about its reproductive success and that of its relatives, rather than, for instance, its own longevity
