    When people get involved with effective altruism one thing that tends to take them by surprise is the interest in risks from artificial intelligence. I think those risks are really important, and I have a try here at explaining why:

    friends, if you're writing a story about a poll and you find yourself typing the words "[candidate's] support has increased 2 points," a good thing to do is to go back, delete that sentence, and write something like "[candidate's] support remains relatively stable"

    A growing number of schools in the US are distributing laptops💻 to students, even though they are expensive and there is little evidence of their impact on academic outcomes.

    Good news: Kansas’s ag-gag law has been ruled unconstitutional. Via "That makes Kansas the fourth state — after Utah, Idaho, and Iowa — to see their ag-gag law struck down."

    Our passion for making it harder for people born in the wrong place to work for employers who want to hire them also makes it much, much harder for people born in the right place to work. Who would have guessed.

    I have, when applying for jobs, sometimes also not had my social security card or birth certificate or passport in the same state as me, and have needed to ask my parents to overnight it to me for a job. Luckily they could do that (and white collar jobs are much more flexible).

    We had to pay lots of money and navigate a fair amount of confusing bureaucracy to reorder them from the state he was born in, by which time the jobs would no longer hire him. To be clear, he had a photo ID. He just didn't have the extra docs E-Verify requires.

    This shouldn't surprise anyone. Recently tried to help a homeless (US citizen) friend apply to jobs. He got some, but then his secondary documents required for employment verification went missing, lost or stolen - not uncommon when in unstable living situations.

    I’ll never forget the editor who told me it was impossible to do a sweeping retelling of the Haiti quake, because “that type of book is very difficult to place these days unless it is about an event like 9/11.” The Haiti quake death toll was between 30x and 105x that of 9/11.

    Willie Nash was booked into a Mississippi jail on a misdemeanor & asked a guard if he could charge his cell phone. Instead the guard took the phone, he was charged with having a phone in a correctional facility, convicted & sentenced to 12 years in prison.

    In January 2016, a strange confluence of events led Los Angeles to install air filters in some classrooms that didn’t have unusually bad air quality. Those students’ test scores rose by a surprisingly large amount.

    It's hard to overstate how inept & bizarre California's AB 5 implementation is. Here's the assemblywoman who wrote the bill admitting that the language creates massive legal liability for the music industry — sort of a big deal for CA! — but hey, they plan to patch it in 2020

    I remember reading about this in my dorm room & feeling shook lucid. Decided then & there to try to figure out a career path that would get me in a position to credibly argue, hey, let's not do this, and win.

    Cool related study: two groups view a video of a protest, one group is told it's anti-abortion, other group thinks it's anti-military, and they're asked questions like whether protesters obstructed pedestrians. Answers depend on affiliation with the cause:

    I remember the first time I noticed that when watching sport I really _believe_ my team is being less fairly treated by the referee. It's shocking, but... I can't seem to help it, even though I know rationally it's happening! Either that or I've had the worst luck in refs ever..

    "The dark side of plant-based food: it’s more about money than you may think” 🙄 A reminder that for some people, environmental solutions that can scale are actually bad.

    In 2011, supported a new Millennium Village, in Ghana. To its great credit—over the project's objections—DfID insisted on supporting an *independent* and rigorous impact evaluation. That was just published: "Mostly small or null results".

    One, only ONE, member of congress voted against the war in Afghanistan (via the AUMF, literally a blank check for the president to declare war). Her name is Barbara Lee, from CA-13, and we should remember her contribution forever.
