Hey! I'm Edo, married + 2 cats, I live in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and I feel weird writing about myself so I go meta.
I'm a mathematician, I love solving problems and helping people. My LinkedIn profile has some more stuff.
I'm a forum moderator, which mostly means that I care about this forum and about you! So let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
I'm currently working full-time at EA Israel, doing independent research and project management. Currently mostly working on evaluating the impact of for-profit tech companies, but I have many projects and this changes rapidly.
Prices. Target frames its failure to meet its pledge in equity terms, stating [...]
From Chicken Watch, we find Target's 2016's commitment. There, it's stated that
We Will:
- Transition to only cage-free shell eggs by 2025, pending available supply.
While in their 2025 report linked above (this), and in their website , it's framed as a goal rather than a commitment:
Eggs: In 2016, Target set a goal to transition to a 100% cage-free egg supply chain by 2025 pending available supply.
I'm curious about the legality of this. Did they initially frame it as a commitment? Assuming their argument about unavailable (cheap) supply doesn't hold, are they legally bound to uphold their commitment?
Minor nitpick
Option 1: The EA movement instantly grows to include 1000 new highly-engaged, aligned EAs.
Option 2: X people hear about EA in a relatively high-fidelity way (e.g., through a long-form journalistic article).
...
Responses here also reflected wide variation, spanning several orders of magnitude. The median value was 1 million, implying that gaining 1 highly engaged EA was rated roughly 10,000 times more valuable than introducing one person to EA in a relatively high fidelity way.
Should this be 1,000 times instead? (This also appears at the summary of key results as 10,000)
I don't think that expanding compassion to animals leads to reduced compassion for aunts and other humans. It could make one's choices benefit humaunts less, but that's arguably desirable.
I do agree that when we find ourselves dispassionate or hateful towards others that's a sign that we may have stepped wrong at some point in our journey to do the most good
Thanks! This really clarifies the situation for me.
