Incredibly cool

Well said

Re BitMEX it wasn’t included in this report because the report focuses on spot markets but agree it’s very relevant and will be the topic of future research.

Re Huobi, there is strong evidence of material falsified

pump and dump can take place in small cap equities as well. it will never be impossible - the thing thats needed is the regulation / surveillance to do enforcement on those who perpetrate it

Thanks for looking through it!

Word. This looks cool

sounds useful

Sick

The fact that this is self funded is extraordinary

What's the criteria? This is totally opaque as a list. I agree that some of these books are epic but don't know where the decisions are coming from.

Why is price point not a valid way to sell a product?

Remember why Henry Ford was such a big deal?

Yup. Super helpful. Like the variation idea.

As far as the modal, could you point me to a tutorial on that if you know of one?

I wish everyone did this

Wow. This is a very thorough argument. Many of the people I know (I'm studying at Wharton right now) that see bitcoin as nonsense don't think it deserves the time it would take to produce an essay like this (which is fair). I'm glad someone wrote it.

Isn't Greg involved with this?

Why do you think games are unable to stay interesting even though Chess has never had to change and the movie industry finds a way to be interesting every year?

Where did that stigma come from?

Good point

I think these are interesting points.

Two clips you might find interesting: - Brian Wong of Kiip talking about how Counter Strike made him good at photoshop (I don't think this is a serious counter arguement to your point): http://youtu.be/BAx7Npsrin4?t=4m40s

- Gabe Newell (Valve) and JJ Abrams (Lost, Alias, Star Trek) talking about similarities/differences between narrative in video games and movies, and at the end announcing that they're working together on one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7mihllgiro

what's an example of a type of programmer not considered good?

I wonder what his "rosebud" is

Wow. Love this.

very cool

Education is like enterprise with crapy cycles and the lack of pressure from public market ownership.

What Jarred is getting at is the education corollary to the consumerization of enterprise.

This shift is propelled by two recent developments:

1) Internet services often offer a free "single-player" or freemium option. - This reduces the value of the procurement person/intermediary in negotiating price - This increases the propensity of individuals to try a service themselves because of decreased financial risk.

2) SaaS: these services are now hosted and can be initiated immediately, no longer requiring time spent acquiring a physical license or installing - This reduces the value of the intermediary in "setting things up" - This this reduces the time expense in trying something

I think relevant differences between enterprise and education are budget, average age, and different incentive structure.

There is definitely opportunity in pursuing this bottom-up approach to distribution in education and I think at the moment it is a largely unexplored path.

Would love to discuss more - best way is @hhorsley or hunter@coursekit.com

I like the jackknife metaphor.

Check it out!

agreed - with both the recommendation and that it's ironic :)
