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.

One awesome tool by Welfare Footprint Institute from last year is a Chat-GPT agent made for quantifying animal suffering using their framework

Alternatively, people find engaging with bugs "yucky" so they prefer having an excuse not to step on a spider :\

Perhaps just introduce the idea of quantifying welfare? Or prioritization between programs in the context of NGOs and gov programs?

Hey Maria! In case you aren't aware of them and their work, you might be interested in reaching out / following @Gidi Kadosh (VIVID), @spencerg (Spencer Greenberg of Clearer Thinking), @Inga (Inga Grossman of Rethink Wellbeing), and probably others I'm blanking out on 😊

Also, I'm curious about what you mean by "Foundations of Protection"?

Thanks! This really clarifies the situation for me.

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?

I wonder how many people come across EA as a result of a mental health problem and post traumatic growth
