But it was very much armchair theorizing. I had remembered reading here that the numbers assigned to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were 2, 1, and 0, and was reasoning on that basis, but apparently that is at best a secondary set of significations. My other speculations are probably comparably ill-informed.
Short version: reading technical analyses by "spreadsheet altruism" charity recommender services (generally going by the slightly less explanatory name "effective altruism") about how to maximize charitable impact per dollar, making up your own mind if you have the time, donating powers of 2 in the smallest available denomination (such as pennies or pence), and replacing many small or diverse donations with single large or randomly assigned donations, out of concern for efficiency due to overhead from individual payment processing.
