Below are some ways to contact me (Issa Rice), as well as the account names1 I use on various websites. Feel free to connect with me through any of the means below. I am most responsive via email and Facebook (I may not check other sites very often). I try to respond to everyone who contacts me, but for various reasons I might not; feel free to ping me if I don’t respond.2 You can also stalk me online (e.g. by following me on Quora or Facebook, or by reading what I have on this website). I also don’t mind if you ask questions about me on Quora, though recently Quora has gotten stricter about what sorts of personal questions are allowed3.
General
- My email address is .
- My PGP public key
- You can also send me anonymous feedback using this form (idea from lukeprog and Gwern).
- I have an identification photo in case you’d like to know what I look like.
Social
- My Facebook profile is here. I check Facebook regularly throughout the day. I generally accept all friend requests that don’t appear to be spam; having at least one mutual friend or messaging me simultaneously with your friend request will let me know that your profile is genuine.
- I check Quora a few times a day now. My Quora profile is here.
- My LinkedIn profile is here. I don’t use LinkedIn very much, but feel free to connect with me.
- I have an OkCupid profile here that has fairly extensive information about me (though a lot of it is identical to my self-description). Feel free to connect with me as friends or romantically (or both).
- I am riceissa on Twitter. I don’t use Twitter very often, and when I do it’s mostly to read what others have tweeted.
Rationality/Effective Altruism community
- I am riceissa on Less Wrong.
- I am riceissa on the Effective Altruism Forum.
- I have a profile on the Effective Altruism Hub here.
- I have a Gratipay profile here (which I currently use experimentally, and which is framed in terms of my effective altruism activities, i.e. content creation on this site and on the Cause Prioritization Wiki).
Programming
- I am riceissa on GitHub. You can find my public repositories here, and my public gists here.
- I am riceissa on Bitbucket; I don’t use it very often, preferring GitHub instead.
- I am riceissa on Stack Overflow.
- I am IssaRice on Hacker News.
Other
- I have a WordPress.com blog here. I might use it in the future for something more, but at the moment it is simply a scratch space for me to quickly post links and ideas.
- I am Riceissa on the English Wikipedia, but I haven’t done anything on there yet.
- You can see all of my Stack Exchange sites here.
- I am riceissa on Reddit. I occasionally use Reddit to look for information, but don’t really post.
I usually use “riceissa” on most sites. This is somewhat of a historical accident: when I tried signing up for my Gmail account, “issarice” was already taken, so I picked “riceissa” instead. Since then, I’ve sort of standardized on “riceissa” for most services.↩
Also see I emailed my customer asking multiple questions. Their reply addressed only one. What is the polite way to point this out?; i.e. I will try to respond to every question or point, but sometimes I might not (for whatever reason). If you really want an answer, feel free to re-ask the question/restate the point.↩
In general, you should be fine as long as you follow Quora’s “Be Nice, Be Respectful” policy; it matters less whether the person about whom the question is asked is fine with it.↩
