Full timeline
Comment counts are as of February 15, 2018.
For mailing list posts, the main inclusion criterion is that the initial post in a thread is made by Wei. This will probably miss some substantive posts in other threads, but I'm not sure how to quickly identify those posts without spending much more time.

What the timeline is still missing
- There are some good comment threads that involve Wei on LW, EA Forum, Medium, and IAFF. I think some of these should be included. Some of these are now listed at https://causeprioritization.org/List_of_discussions_between_Paul_Christiano_and_Wei_Dai
- this email mentions him posting to "the NIST SHA-3 forum".
Timeline update strategy
I think the new stuff is posted on LessWrong.
