Seems awful trivial five years later. Givewell does excellent nonprofit analysis, and they don't seem malicious or unethical in any way that I've seen.

- benwikler 14y agoOne thing I love about GiveWell is that they publicize and learn from their mistakes, this one included. http://www.givewell.org/about/shortcomings http://www.givewell.org/about/shortcomings They're really, really good people. Like everyone, they did something dumb. Unlike most, they learned from it and spend their lives trying to improve the world.
