Excited to hear which Manifold comments won prizes! Also unclear to me if EU fish advocacy should resolve the EU animal advocacy or the fish advocacy market YES
Also probably could get more traders if Manifold itself highlighted tournaments in a banner/sidebar/notification/email/etc. Expect the markets would not have all had less than 50 traders if more users knew thousands of additional USD were at stake: https://manifold.markets/CE?tab=markets https://manifold.markets/stats
X-axis of the university rank distribution histogram is distorted. Some bars represent 25x as many universities as other bars. Ideally it'd look like a smoothed version of the previous graph
There may be initial opportunities for extra impact by prioritizing monitoring and improving air quality in important decision-making buildings like government buildings, headquarters, etc
I wouldn't assume this to be stable. Also, verification is currently only available in 18 countries: https://worldcoin.org/find-orb

There are public biotech companies with ~$10B valuations and higher price/sales ratios: https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=121&f=cap_midover&o=-ps
And private valuations are much more generous than public valuations
The giving pledge is 50%+, so I'd include 50%
