He believed that inventions should benefit all of humanity, not just himself. • In January 2018, the City of New York paid 200 formerly homeless people $85 each to pretend to be homeless again for one night. At midnight that night, in order to get an estimate of the city’s homeless population, volunteer canvassers took to the streets, approaching apparently homeless people to ask if they have somewhere to sleep. If a canvasser came across one of the paid “homeless” decoys, that decoy went home. The decoys were, essentially, a check to see how well the canvassers did their job — and they did it pretty well, it seems, finding 90 percent of the decoys in the course of the night. • In Switzerland, it’s considered bad luck to tell anyone your baby’s name before it is born.
