How ordinary people decide to become terrorists For all the hand-wringing in the US over the threat posed by Syrian refugees, it turned out that so far, every positively identified terrorist from the Paris attacks was not a refugee at all — but rather, a European Union citizen.

My Anti-Vacation: Prototyping The Lifestyle of a Digital Nomad What is a Digital Nomad? After living a highly structured life for the past 3 months going through an intense data science boot camp, I’m spending the next 1.5 doing the exact opposite — roaming around Europe and doing whatever the heck I want! Is this a vacation? Certain parts of the trip will feel like it for sure, but I consider this trip to be more of a location independent, self-guided internship… with epic-fun-time sprinkled generously throughout.
