Incredible human. Gates + Buffett credit him with helping come up with The Giving Pledge they so famously established. Such humility. Was honestly a sad moment when he was outed (1997, Time Magazine if memory serves me right) - felt like he deserved to give in private if he wanted to. Gives more than others but always lets someone else put their name on it (eg: Benioff Children's Hospital in SF - he was the largest single benefactor).

Only other similar philanthropy I've ever seen - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-05-08/three-mys....

Seems he outed himself in a New York Times article [0] according to Wikipedia. That's if you're referring to that incident

Ugh - Bloomberg buys Businessweek and then throws all of the content behind a paywall.

Here's a better link: https://web.archive.org/web/20140514054305/http://www.busine...

You could always have bought the content, and given it away for free. People need to eat and pay the rent yo.

I am fully supportive of anyone who wants to Kickstart content corpus purchases and then give that to the Internet Archive for WayBack inclusion.

People complain about ads on a website and how they have to use an ad-blocker and then the complain when they put stuff behind a paywall. Can't have it both ways, people deserve to be paid for good journalism.

To be honest, those who use ad blockers most likely are not the target audience for an ad payer.

Popup ad blocking is not the problem. There's no need for popup ads at all - its a scummy practice.

I didnt mention pop up ads, just ads.

[JoeAltmaier]

Do ad blockers block non-popup ads?
