It amuses me when economists see that money is not the most important thing in the universe (for everybody at least).

These things scare me, though. I fear all these research will find a way to monetize good will and cooperation so that economists can use it to continue slaving us.

Agreed. It helps me focus on the talk _because_ I'm distracted by the drawing. I have trouble concentrating on things like audiobooks or talks if I don't have slides or anything else to look at.

Edit: fixed typo

In a talk at Stanford University, Marissa Mayer, Google's Vice President of Search Products and User Experience, stated that her analysis showed that 50% of the new product launches originated from the 20% time.[149]

Yes! These are the principles we should build the world on.

I need a sorted list of all random numbers, so that I can retrieve a suitable one later with a binary search instead of having to iterate through the generation process every time.

Awesome video.

I love things like this that just makes some intuitive sense. Like you've known it all along, but never really realized it.

As I look inward I see how this effects my sense of direction.  I remember in school and later in my jobs, my productivity almost always hinged on how much I like the teacher or boss.  Work/school for me has always fluctuated on how these influences gave me incentive.  This is great, thanks for sharing.
