The 3-6 months is in a liquid savings account. Beyond that, you want your money in investments that will earn interest. They will be more volatile, so aren't advisable as an emergency fund. They can also be harder to access.

You state that these stories are dishonest; do you have anything to support that?

You also state that you object to this sort of "propaganda" because it does not apply in the same way to males. I agree that differing sexual attitudes towards men and women lead to different experiences for men and women in the situations you're describing. But why would this lead to an objection? Pointing out life events that have helped some people (and likely wouldn't help some others) seems like a positive thing to do to help those who could be helped (in this case, women with sex-negative upbringings).

If we have a way to actually implement improvements to the site, I'd be interested in learning how to do so. I have some development experience. Monetary rewards could certainly motivate me to do so (get me to do it sooner), but I'll probably start researching and working anyway.

As adamzerner asked in another comment, will my contributions actually make it to the site? I need to do more research.

This goes beyond the general usefulness and "cool factor" of many of the other suggestions into very useful, potentially life-saving, and helps fill a purpose which we currently do fairly inefficiently.

Could you describe some of the other motivation systems for AI that are under discussion? I imagine they might be complicated, but is it possible to explain them to someone not part of the AI building community?

[Tit for Tat is] one of the few Memory-1 strategies that gracefully falls back to the appropriate Memory-0 strategy when faced with All-C or All-D.

I am not clear on how this is the case. It seems to me that the appropriate strategy when faced with any Memory-0 strategy is to go All-D, since your defections would optimize your own score while having no influence on the future behavior of your opponent. Tit for Tat does not default to All-D unless the opponent is All-D.

"42" seemed the obvious answer. Although if he were going for that, he might just make a Hitchhiker's Guide reference.

Or maybe he was concealing the Hitchhiker's Guide reference?

Although the easier solution to this problem is to stop adding Quidditch points to House points. That's dumb to begin with. Maybe just add some points for winning the match.

In the Azkaban arc, they were able to Time Turn away from Azkaban, do some preparation, then arrive after being informed of the breakout. I don't think this would work to prevent Dumbledore from using a Time Turner to be in two places at once.

Following up on the idea of breaking narrative logic, might there not really be a Big Bad at all. Like, Voldemort has sobered up over the years and really just wants to be immortal. He'll go to great lengths to get there, but doesn't plan to destroy the world or anything. Just an idea.
