Transcript

  1. Lies, damned lies and linguistics and a bit of behavioural

    economics Ivan <[email protected]> 2011-09-10

  2. A Word about Words Лев Васи́льевич Успе́нский «Слово о словах»

    (1954) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Uspensky

  3. soft skills are... - not as "valuable" as hard skills

    (thanks to rational economic models, public education and well-meaning family) - seemingly ungeeky/unmanly/un... (btw, how about 2d terminology session?)

  4. Meaning and Interpretation - hacker - anarchist - communist -

    fascist - manager - parasite
  5. None

  6. BINARY

  7. M. C. Escher, Day and Night, woodcut (1938)

  8. RELATIVITY "Relativity is relatively easy to understand."

  9. M. C. Escher, Relativity, lithograph (1953)

  10. WARNING The next slide contains BAD words Authors@Google: Steven Pinker

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBpetDxIEMU

  11. SUCCESS "Success is a real and subtle whore, who would

    like nothing better than to catch you sleeping and bite your cock off."

  12. INNOVATION How long did it take for wheels to be

    attached to a suitcase?

  13. A number without units is meaningless. A word or a

    phrase without context is also meaningless.
