There are no dumb questions, only questions that invite lmgtfy answers.

The world’s most popular game is also its most corrupt, with investigations into match fixing ongoing in more than 25 countries. Here’s a mere sampling of events since the beginning of last year: Operation Last Bet rocked the Italian Football Federation, with 22 clubs and 52 players awaiting trial for fixing matches; the Zimbabwe Football Association banned 80 players from its national-team selection due to similar accusations; Lu Jun, the first Chinese referee of a World Cup match, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for taking more than $128,000 in bribes to fix outcomes in the Chinese Super League; prosecutors charged 57 people with match fixing in the South Korean K-League, four of whom later died in suspected suicides; the team director of second-division Hungarian club REAC Budapest jumped off a building after six of his players were arrested for fixing games; and in an under-21 friendly, Turkmenistan reportedly beat Maldives 3-2 in a “ghost match” — neither country knew about the contest because it never actually happened, yet bookmakers still took action and fixers still profited.

Sergio Cittolin, a scientist working on the Large Hadron Collider, combined his two passions of art and science to create a series of incredible drawings of various elements of the LHC, in the style of Leonardo da Vinci.

Don’t forget to take the time to see his other beautiful drawings of the LHC! They’re definitely worth having a look.

Its never easy firing someone.

Even when it’s clear as day that they are not a good fit for your team.

As soon as you realize that this is the case, you need to let the person know; it’s a waste of your time and theirs.

The advice you hear most often is:

Hire Slow, Fire Fast!

So true.

In the role playing game known as The Real World, “Straight White Male” is the lowest difficulty setting there is. You can lose playing on the lowest difficulty setting. The lowest difficulty setting is still the easiest setting to win on. The player who plays on the “Gay Minority Female” setting? Hardcore.

I’m a big Luis von Ahn fan but this is getting really old.
