As I predicted, @mikeyouse https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mikeyouse https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mikeyouse and I both owe $10 to charity, per our bet (more than 3 for me, less than 15 for him). I shall pay, of course. For you, sir, you can either give directly to Lighthouse Ministries (lfrad.org), or if you want to be sure it's tax-deductible, you can give to Martha's Kitchen in San Jose with a note that it's intended for Lighthouse. (They're a tax-exempt in California but their IRS 501(c)(3) hasn't come through yet.) Martha's acts as financial sponsor for them, which has some legal significance I don't quite understand.

Sounds good - I'll donate right now. Lighthouse is good with me. In a way, I'm glad we both lost that bet. Side note, I previously worked with nonprofit fiscal sponsors - basically Martha's uses their (c)(3) to incubate specific initiatives like Lighthouse and handle all of their compliance / HR / legal for a small fee on the donations.

  hi, yeah, I don't mind losing the bet at all. I see the gleaner from Lighthouse all the time while walking the dog, so that's how I know them. Founded by a three-strikes guy!
