Apparently a hedge fundie made 4 billion and is giving most of it away to what the WSJ describes as a "moneyball" approach to giving.
I think there is an interesting difference and tension between two concepts. One is the traditional charity, "giving". The other one is solving problems without optimizing for profit. I feel they are rather different.
