   This is very cool. On this note, I'd like to highly recommend the immigration museum on Ellis Island in NY. It gives you a complete history of migration to the US from the first migrants into the colonies to present day. I think its

   Innovation == Talking about what we did that weekend? :) This was cruel and there is no excuse why in 2016 this arrangement couldn't work for a week or two. As a remote member of a mostly onsite team there is some validity that you mis

   This is very true. While clunky to use most support sites for enterprise software includes these types of fields as mandatory to complete a support ticket. As someone who has opened issues myself on projects in gitHub its easy to be unawar

   Also remember Piketty, while concerned about income inequality, was most concerned about wealth/capital inequality. Thus his worldwide tax on wealth proposal. I would argue that Piketty did say that wealth inequality, on the extreme,

   I would argue in some cases they don't. Take for example the artist who works for years, decades even, on their art without expectation of large monetary gain. In a broad sense some people don't respond at all to incentives (assu

   I think asking this question without addressing the overall cost/benefit to society is not very productive. The overall goal, I think, is to allow startups to grow and thrive while at the same time being a net plus for society. I wou

    Soylent will never be the future. Just like slim fast or ensure were not the future in the 80s and 90s. This is because food, and to some extent drink, are central to cultures around the world. Many countries have food traditions dating

    Sigh. If you are drinking a Soylent or some other drink because you literally don't have the time to get up from your desk for 30-60 minutes for a meal I question what type of human existence you are living. There are so many things

    Are the weather and short lived climate impacts of major eruptions limited to that hemisphere? I would think that an eruption in Chile wouldn't have an impact on northern hemisphere climate. While there was global cooling after Pinat

    Maybe next time have the candidate try to do a shopping cart calculation? You could explain that this is a problem our business faces a lot. Give him or her a laptop with tools and internet access. If they can't come up with anythin

    Also, this is a SOLVED problem. A quick search on Google, or on gitHub, or in various programming books will result in code to solve Fibonacci in any language of your choice. I would wager to guess that most developers had a hard time sol

    I'm talking about complex algorithms here. Not something simple like FizzBuzz. Besides, I hope FizzBuzz (or something similarly simple) could be done via an initial phone screen. If you need to see the code fire up some sort of coll
