Racism and Class Discrimination are Different
You can always tell it’s election season by the number of racism and discrimination lawsuits that start popping up in the news.

Analytics Are Everywhere
Have you ever looked at something and then asked “why?” Have you ever wondered “why did somebody make that decision?” I find myself doing it all time time, increasingly I’m asking myself “I wonder what type of metrics they looked at when making that decision.” While walking down the Vegas strip Pubcon with some friends [...]

Ahh Columbus Day
I’ve never understood why Columbus Day is still a holiday. Despite growing evidence that Columbus wasn’t the first to discover America, there’s even better reasons to stop celebrating this holiday. First of all, he didn’t land in what we currently call America. In his efforts to find the Indies, Columbus mistakenly ended up discovering the [...]
