Not that this article is great, but I would think anything thats about huge scale world problems would be of interest to the group of creatives that need problems to apply their technical skills too so they can create world changing companies. Which I thought was kind of the idea of entrepreneurial activities. Also, the studies on divergent thinking show their are huge cross pollination type benefits to people who are in a field considering the problems in another, both for the people who have mastered the field, and for the problem. Therefore, some hackers who encounter non hacking problems like this (again, not that this article is great, it isn't) will benefit themselves and the problem they are able to apply their unique style of thinking too. In fact, I think a lot of great companies probably started as a result of hackers applying their skills to what seemed like non hacker problems. I think stuff like this should be here, even if this article happens to not be great.
