Howmuch gathered data from the Occupational Employment Statistics Survey and compiled it into a list of iconic jobs per state. It also tells you the average pay for that position and what percentage of those jobs that state holds. Their analysis uses something called the location quotient to capture how common something is in a given location.
For example – 50% of jobs in Texas aren't Petroleum Engineers, but Texas does contain over 50% of America's Petroleum Engineers.
As much as I travel, the uniqueness of the city still caught my eye. It almost looked like a movie set.
It is the beginning of summer. Throngs of people were out and about. The outfits were different and trendier. There is just a different pace and pulse here. Seemingly, something cool is happening everywhere.
For example, last night I got invited to a party. The rules were that for the first hour it would be first names only, no discussion of what you do, etc. Part of the fun was figuring out who was there and why they were special.
Here's a peek at what it looked like at the gathering.
Nouriel Roubini's predictions have earned him the nicknames "Dr. Doom" and "permabear" in the media. He predicted the housing bubble crash in 2007-2008, and has extensively studied the collapse of emerging economies.
Watch the debate between crypto-hater Nouriel Roubini and Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin . If you are interested in crypto-currencies or Blockchain, then this will be very interesting.
It's not enough to invest in the right ideas or technologies. You have to invest in the right people as well.
"Standing still is moving backward … so you don't only need new technology, you need a new level of data scientists – a new level of professional that can think about what's possible, rather than how to do what we want to do right now."
Even though we've got an incredible edge now. I recognize that edges decay faster than ever. The trick is to stay ahead.
I can predict that the future is bright … And I know that the best way to predict the future is to create it.
This is a pretty cool idea, or at least I thought so. My youngest son said "I don't particularly understand IKEA directions or algorithms so this is basically the worst of both worlds for me." Finally, we agree about something.
Hopefully, you find it helpful. If not, there's always Wikipedia.
Perhaps that is why Elon Musk (who is an amazing entrepreneur) sometimes sounds more like a dystopian futurologist (like Ray Bradbury or George Orwell).
Here is a look at some of Musk's predictions. Click the image to see the full infographic.
It's three days of friends, food, fun, and bad puns (like #AporkalypseNow and #MeatDrinkAndBeMerry).
You've heard the phrase "Put your money where your mouth is …" This year we sponsored a tent and brought some of the Capitalogix team to enjoy the festivities.
Here's a look at what was cooking in our tent. It had a Brazilian "churrasco" flair.
It is a multi-rotisserie rack that converts your favorite backyard grill into an open and spinning Brazilian style Steakhouse. It's clever, functional, and cool … and it's been used to win multiple barbecue championships.
I love to experience an entrepreneur's mind at work.
It's not always about what you add. Sometimes, it is about what you take away. Less is often more.
Here is a one-minute interview I shot with Blake last year.
