I just wanted to point out: Instagram + Facebook = 46%

There's no dilemma, you can and should do both! It's just a link-baity title (that I fell for)

Haha! That was totally over-analyzing but I love it!

The Easter Egg was actually really simple. At the bullet point for "impeccable attention to detail" I reference the '93 Bulls. But earlier in the job posting it's the '96 Bulls that are really referenced :)

You're hired!

"HBO’s figure dates to the end of 2012, but it’s unlikely to have grown much in the first three months of 2013, owing as much to the cable TV industry’s stagnation as its own trouble signing up new subscribers."

How the hell do they know this? Girls and Game of Thrones have been huge hits and an equally strong argument could be made that thanks to these two shows alone HBO is well over 30 million subscribers, hence having a larger viewership than Netflix. Pretty irresponsible imo to base an entire article and make a factual statement in the headline based on a hunch.

If you're in New York, the Met currently has an exhibit on Matisse's process of making multiple versions of the same painting: classic A/B tester :)
