If you haven't seen the Netflix original movie "The Great Hack", you should watch it. It reveals the questionable practices of a company called Cambridge Analytica in effectively stealing and using unsuspecting Facebook users' data to manipulate their choices in political elections.
In this episode, we talk about the movie and the potential ramifications of the lack of international law with regard to how our data can be (and is being) used against us.

Raika Technologies and GotAnAppIdea are proud to present this episode of Incubate This!, where we are on the hunt for that elusive, mythical creature that has the Interwebs in an uproar: the unicorn.
In the business world, a "unicorn" company is defined as a privately-held (i.e. not traded on a public exchange like DOW, NASDAQ, etc) company worth over $1 billion (that's BILLION, with a B). In this episode we talk about what that means, how that's possible, and what we view as the true "unicorn".

Women in technology is a hot topic today. Whether we are debating the relatively low numbers of women in technology roles (as compared to the larger workforce) or talking about why women don't gravitate to the technology fields as much as we think they should, there's a lot of debate and not a lot of understanding about why things are the way they are.
In this episode, we explore our views and experiences as and with women in tech in an effort to understand our own views and offer advice to those who might be struggling to find their place in the field.

Raika Technologies is proud to present this episode of The Raika Show, where we are talking about buzz words in the software industry (and sometimes beyond) that are super annoying.
Metadata. Blockchain. Bitcoin. Throughout software and technology there are words that "smart people" use when talking about various things, or when investing in companies. We think these words don't really mean what everyone thinks they mean (or is *supposed* to think they mean). More likely, someone needs his or her ego pumped and so they use a big, obfuscating word.
We are the demystifiers!

Anti-patterns refer to mechanisms or design elements that are designed to increase engagement and user experience, but mostly end up detracting and creating frustrating interactions. We talk about the what and posit the why.
