Hari Kondabolu is a brainy comedian who cuts through the polite talk around race and gender. He’s made a lot of key people laugh with his incisive anecdotes, including Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O’Brien and John Oliver. A full-time writer on the FX show  Totally Biased   with W. Kamau Bell , he recently did a comedy bit on the National Spelling Bee, or “as I like to call it,” he joked, “the Indian Super Bowl.” Kondabolu makes a fair point: for six years in a row, the winner has been Indian-American. As a result, he continued, “it gives me great pleasure to finally be able to say ‘Hey white people, learn the language.” At first he was reluctant to write a bit about South Asians winning the spelling bee because it’s kind of a cliché. “At the same time, I’m like: let’s own it,” Kondabolu explains. “There’s nothing embarrassing about kids doing well at school and dominating that happen to be South Asian, which is very exciting for me. And there aren’t any...

Long time Microsoft executive Satya Nadella is at the very heart of this strategy. For investors, one of the most compelling aspects of this reorganization is that it aims to eliminate a significant frustration to the company's cloud efforts and other main goals: so-called "fiefdoms" among the various units that had constantly been battling it out for resources and lacking the much-needed "glue" required for collaboration. With the new model, each business within Microsoft will now be grouped by function, which should provide the company with a strong framework from which to expand and im...
