The article doesn’t emphasize the impact made by new technologies invented in pursuit of this prize. For example, this contest was a motivating factor for the creators of Apache Spark.

Does anyone have statistics on the impact of robocallers? They're ubiquitous and universally obnoxious. I haven't seen any reporting on their effectiveness for the services they're advertising for. I wonder why do they even bother.
I understand these calls mostly take advantage of unsuspecting people, but I still can't imagine the impact these calls are making financially.
Legal question: Most employment agreements require employees sign an arbitration clause. Even though these have mixed enforceability, they are very intimidating (which I believe is their intended purpose).

Agreed. Personally I think asking for general blog recommendations is not helpful. I just google topics I'm interested and start to create that list myself.
