Too many fingers?

There’s a company that wants to do this/is doing it with server-based hot water heaters.

@V0ldek @hrrrngh

Tie it to your wrist with a metal chain?

@blakestacey

I wonder how many people attended and how many laughed.

“He chose 1024 stockbrokers, picked one stock, and in 512 envelopes he said the stock would be up by the end of the month, and in the other 512 he said it would go down.”

1024 stamps?

This guy is clearly already made of money so why is he even bothering.

Probably on a photography trip to some exotic and expensive place.

Part of the book club thing might be because self-help books tend to be mostly anecdotes, so are probably good candidates for summarizing.

Investing in shell is arguably ethical if you’re doing it to exert shareholder influence or just be a pain in their ass at annual meeting time.

@Evinceo @Shitgenstein1

None, unless dead old Marvin Minsky had his head frozen and that counts somehow.

@GorillasAreForEating @andrew_bidlaw

Yes, but, having now put that image into our minds, what does that make *you*?

I don’t know, I worked at a Dunkin’ Donuts when they still did baking in store, and there were male and female employees. I’m not saying there was NO fucking going on, but I wasn’t lucky enough to witness any let alone participate.

A Tactical Flour Sifter, made for men.

@GorillasAreForEating @mountainriver

Yes but if you had a five ton, meter wide strand of spider silk…

This is going to end with a new myth that Bayes found some magic stones that let him see probabilities.

@self

I’m sure they were weird but this is too much.

@dgerard @froztbyte

Why can’t we have normal CEOs again.

Also his resume seems awfully light to be CEO of an organization of supposedly world-historical importance.

2.5 hours is a bit of a slog but Olson’s videos are sufficiently entertaining and well-edited to make it work. He cites videos enough to make it worthwhile to present as a video.

Also, speaking for myself, his videos tend not to be the sort of topics where I would want to reference specific parts later, where a text version would be better.

I do wish some of the cited tweets and forum posts were easier to read in the video.

I’ve never witnessed such passion for the Web Designer’s Art.
