Andreessen Horowitz to give half their earnings to charity
I am frankly a bit saddened by this.  These guys are some of the best in the world at deploying capital.  Humanity would be better served if they continued to invest their own money.  Now these guys half-work for some charity, and when the charity doesn't deliver great results, they will feel like they are half-working for little results.<p>It is a mistake for the best capital allocators to pledge future earnings.  They should pledge their future wealth, not earnings.  This way, the harder they work and the more earnings they successfully redeploy, the greater the contribution to charity.
