Hello. 

A late one today. I just spent an hour on the phone with my old friend Kybernetikos (http://kybernetikos.com), so here are the tabs I had open on my laptop at the end of the conversation.

Yao's Millionaires' Problem
"The problem discusses two millionaires, Alice and Bob, who are interested in knowing which of them is richer without revealing their actual wealth."

Ruhnama (The Book of the Soul)
"Niyazov first placed copies in the nation's schools and libraries but eventually went as far as to make an exam on its teachings an element of the driving test. It was mandatory to read Ruhnama in schools, universities and governmental organizations. New governmental employees were tested on the book at job interviews. In March 2006, Niyazov was recorded as saying that he had interceded with God to ensure that any student who read the book three times would automatically get into heaven."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhnama
"...Every citizen of Turkmenistan should have a knowledge of science. This would be the result of brave souls, poetic perceptions, sensitive heart, and spiritual richness. To read and to learn is to have a deeper knowledge of life...."

Greg Smith: Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs
"...I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it.  To put the problem in the simplest terms, the interests of the client continue to be sidelined in the way the firm operates and thinks about making money. Goldman Sachs is one of the world’s largest and most important investment banks and it is too integral to global finance to continue to act this way."

Report on the organisation of the permanent civil service, 1854
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northcote-Trevelyan_Report
"It would be natural to expect that so important a profession would attract into its ranks the ablest and the most ambitious, of the youth of the country; that the keenest emulation would prevail among those who had entered it; and that such as were endowed with superior qualifications would rapidly rise to distinction and public eminence. Such, however, is by no means the case. Admission into the Civil Service is indeed eagerly sought after, but it is for the unambitious, and the indolent or incapable, that it is chiefly desired."
