   6000 people is not an small sample size at all. I work at one of the research centers that evaluated the impact of Give Directly, and a sample size of 6000 is not small in any case.

   In Chile we only use a public number. I think that having a private one is a major security hole. I find amusing how much you can do with the last 4 digits of anyone's SSN.

    There is a problem for NGOs. You have a user (beneficiaries) that is is different from you paying customers (donors). That is one of the many reasons of why it is easy to get derailed in the way.

    Personally I need something in the middle. The original Facebook app is taking over 300mb, and this one is going to stay under 1Mb. I would love a 10-20mb, I am using Facebook Lite now but it does give much more value than visiting the webs

    Has someone used this book? I am currently doing Abu-Mostafa's Caltech course (Link for the interested: https://work.caltech.edu/telecourse.html ) and I would like to know if it is a good complement.

    You are assuming that demand is constant, but oil can be replaced by other sources of energy. Whith a high price of the oil there are electricity generatora that do not profit, so they don't generate energy, leaving space for other che

    Do you know if there is a good cost-effective/cost-benefit analysis for Conditional Cash Transfers? In the one that I have seen, CCTs do poorly. I would like to know why GiveWell is pushing in that direction.

    I agree with the general analysis but the AirBnb example is not accurate. Aside from survivor bias, people were just showing their concern with security. And Airbnb success depends mainly on proving a feeling of security for its users (that

    The poverty and extreme poverty line are adjusted in each country according to purchasing power. You are right that somebody making $200/month in the US would be classified as extreme poor (and someone in India would not be considered
