Bill Gates: My Plan to Fix The World's Biggest Problems
I don't get the negativity in this thread.  Bill Gates is trying to solve hard problems and people here are complaining.  Sure, they may not be the problems that you think are most important, and I'm sure the foundation is making missteps along the way and wasting some money. But his message in this article is a good one I think:> The process I have described—setting clear goals, choosing an approach, measuring results, and then using those measurements to continually refine our approachThis sounds like a pretty pragmatic plan to me.  I know that I don't necessarily agree with the direction he's going (I would personally pick other problems to tackle), so I just hope someday I'm in a position to do something along the same vein and learn from the lessons he's willing to share.
