Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story | Video on TED.com
A great talk on how our perspectives are formed and how dangerous it is. This is exactly why I sometimes cannot read the news.

Job interviews
I know I owe you more comments on my "favorite" interview questions, but here is a related post. Honestly, reading these things make me wonder what the point of HR is. Sometimes it seems that it's a job for the meanest people whose only goal is to make other people feel miserable.
What are your thoughts when you read about these (supposedly the craziest) interview questions?
PS: My natural reaction would be "I don't understand why you're asking this question." But being honest is usually not the best strategy... about that later, though.
