Change my mind
I offer bounties for errors:
- $1 for nitpicks (ambiguities, misreadings, exceptions, technicalities).
- $10 for an error which falsifies a sentence.
- $50 for an error which invalidates a post.

Was unclear about the required size of error for a bounty, leading to a prima facie contradiction.

Overstated the consensus against Milgram. It's still shaky, and not really about obedience, but it's wrong to say there's no evidence, just that the original experiments were terrible.

I said "constant time" instead of "constant time complexity". The function in question takes 3x more time to process 2^64 than it does 2^0, hence the intermediate payout between nitpick and falsehood.

I suppose this should all be multiplied by the confidence level of the post. Factual and logical errors are most likely to resolve cleanly; I probably won't cough up if you just tell me I'm an idiot for believing or not believing in e.g. Meinongianism. That would get a smile.
I'm not sure how to handle claims that have changed truth-value since I made them; half of this blog might be false if you return in 30 years. Leaning towards $1 to $5.
