Why does Larry Page get a “B” and Sergei Brin get a “B-”? what is Brin doing that is worse than Page and vice versa?
So this is tricky. I don’t think that the organizations that Brin is donating to mentioned in the Influence Watch article[1] I linked to are particularly effective. It’s not clear to me whether Page is saving up the money he has assigned to philanthropic causes but if so I think that it is a good move per patient philanthropy considerations[2].
Note that InfluenceWatch is explicitly right wing and tends to spin facts. But I trust them to report specific facts, e.g., donation targets, correctly.
Note that the funds are in a DAF, rather than in his pocket, so the funds will be donated: this is a question of optimal timing, not of volume.
