Hijacking the topic - I'm co-founder of a startup called PetroFeed[1] that's building a GitHub-esque platform for the Oil & Gas industry. We've raised $3.1M, have 7 team members currently, and are moving out of closed beta by the end of the week. If you're a Rails dev interested in this area, I'd love to chat with you!

You nonironically use "#hardproblems" in your opening paragraph on that page.

Go clutter up the next "Who's hiring" thread.

Edit: the little robot is adorable, though.

Seriously, even if no real or scalable solutions are ever provided, the government should hand out 10s of 1000s of business challenges and prizes every year... By having every government department list it's internal data and issues.

Your job would be to improve the processes, and/or solve the issues.

It wouldn't cost that much (the price of healthcare.gov website + a couple of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters), and would gear the nation towards entrepreneurship, a specialists workforce (not a replaceable unit workforce), and growth of startups.

And it would make the gov seem more rational and human.

I'm not super knowledgable about climate.com, but I can tell you what we're doing. For PetroFeed we're taking various data sets (public, commercial, and private) and connecting them into a single network. From there we're looking to provide collaboration tools on top of that network.
