  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #3079.

But that sucks. Maybe someone works hard and submits a bunch of ideas only to lose access to them all.

#3079·Dennis HackethalOP, 21 days ago

This functionality is pretty standard across apps. You can be removed from Discord servers, Telegram channels, etc without warning or reason at any time. People generally know and accept this. If they still put in effort, that’s on them.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #3081.

But then invitees might not put as much effort into those discussions.

#3081·Dennis HackethalOP, 21 days ago

That depends on a bunch of factors, including their relationship with the discussion owner, into which Veritula has no visibility.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #3072.

There could be hard cutoff: they lose access to everything, including their own ideas in that discussion.

That risk could be clearly communicated in the UI.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #3074.

They could keep read-only access to the discussion but can’t add new ideas or change existing ideas.

#3074·Dennis HackethalOP, 21 days ago

Maybe you remove them because you don’t even want them to be able to see anything.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #3073.

#3073·Dennis HackethalOP, 21 days ago

There’d probably be a bunch of edge cases with this approach. For example, others would still be able to comment on those ideas, and the comments would have to be hidden from OPs. Which begs the question of how that impacts the displayed criticism count… And so on.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #3075.

Permanent access: once added, you can’t remove them.

#3075·Dennis HackethalOP, 21 days ago

If you later realize that adding someone was a mistake, you should be able to correct that mistake.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #3071.

What happens if you add a user to a private discussion, they submit a bunch of ideas, and then you remove them?

My critique of David Deutsch’s The Beginning of Infinity as a programmer. In short, his ‘hard to vary’ criterion at the core of his epistemology is fatally underspecified and impossible to apply.

He says one should adopt explanations based on how hard they are to change while still explaining what they claim to explain. The hardest-to-change explanation is the best and should be adopted. But he doesn’t say how to figure out which is hardest to change.

A decision-making method is a computational task. He says you haven’t understood a computational task if you can’t program it. He can’t program the steps for finding out how ‘hard to vary’ an explanation is, if only because those steps are underspecified. There are too many open questions.

So by his own yardstick, he hasn’t understood his epistemology.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #2669.

Feature idea: pay people to address criticisms (either revise an idea and check off criticisms or counter-criticize).

#2669·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month ago

Could this feature be unified with #2811 somehow?

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #2811.

Feature idea: pay people to criticize your idea.

You submit an idea with a ‘criticism bounty’ of ten bucks per criticism received, say.

The amount should be arbitrarily customizable.

There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.

  Dennis Hackethal revised idea #2623.

Then people could occasionally check the second tab for ideas they think they can rationally hold but actually can’t. And then they can work on addressing criticisms. A kind of ‘mental housekeeping’ to ensure they never accidentally hold on to problematic ideas.
