Donated $500, just now.
I'm still mystified regarding why, for a month-long donation drive, you wait until a mere week till the end (when some people may have already left for holidays or something) before you post in LessWrong about it. Such delays have been done in the past too. If you feel this tactic works, fine, but it's sorta sending the wrong signals to me (feels as if it's either not caring enough LessWrong or not caring enough about donations in general), and this summer's drive isn't even half-complete mere days before the end.
Apologies for the grouchiness. Certain family issues of the moment are probably coloring my mood and attitude.
Thanks!
The reason for the LW delay is just so we can get better information on the means by which people are hearing about our fundraising drive. So first we announce it to the blog, wait a few days, then announce it to hpmor, wait a few days, then announce it to the newsletter, wait a few days, then announce it to LW. We could juts as well have put LW at the beginning; maybe we'll do that next time!
Tangential: I wonder if CFAR considered using Patreon in the Science or Education category to get subscriptions from patrons. Presumably some of the CFAR output, like videos and posters, counts as art.
