Mitch Resnick: Let's teach kids to code

- Scratch, programming for kids.
- Kids create their interactive motherday card; ppt w/ animation

- Kids has became fluent w/ the technology.
- Chatting, Gaming different than create new technology ( read but not write)

- The ability to write their own code.
- 100 of websites that teach coding

- Should children learn to code?

- drag and drop programming

 - already connect to the real world/hardware

- use NB camera (kinect)
- Voice control


- The kids are learning code very young!

- Learn to code -> open up many other thing (knows why should use variable)
- exactly to know where to put the right code

- The process of design; how to fix bug, try ideas

-> The future kids are scary. 

They will have the design skills, and an born knowledge of how computer writing.

I only learn how to write and read in a very stage

How simple ideas lead to scientific discoveries - Adam Savage

- Inertia (leads to Nobel Prize)
-Simple question->Scientific discovery

-Earth is round was already know by Aristotle. see sun shadow ( 1% difference of diameter of the world )


- refining other people result.
- great technology; with technology that were available a decade ago.

- Light. use wheel to determine 2% of light speed in 1849.

- Different scientist are starting in the same place as us. More curious more hardworking.

Why the shape of your screen matters - Brian Gervase

4:5 -> 1:3 (movie)

pan scan techniques to eliminate part ( 55% stay)

16:9 (75%)

Questions no one knows the answers to (Full Version) - Chris Anderson

- Question no one knows the answers to. Great list of difficult question.

- No one knows the answer to: How many universe exist?

- Galaxy->grain sand; milky way fill 30 by 30 vy three sands;

- String theory-> countless (?) other universes, build on different properties. 11 dimensions. 10^500 universe

infinite universe.

No agreement on this question 0->infinity


- Why can't we see evidence of aliens life?

- Half of trillion planet in the galaxy

- Other civilization in million of years of advance

- Possible answer:
- A superior species made a radio silence; and ready to eliminate other species.
- Maybe it's fare harder than we think: four billions year

- Just haven't look it up yet ( looking in too short time)
 - Maybe not looking the right way (dark matter?)

- Maybe looking at wrong scale ( smaller scale turn itself microscopic )

- Maybe biological life is just a passing phase. ( interesting)

I like the message. Haven't done fact check yet, but it is a good thing that someone is asking/discussing the difficult question.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar

- Core proposition: Lying is a cooperative act. Someone else has agreed to be lied.
- Deception cost 7% of revenue.

- Henry's rule: "Everyone is ready to give you something, for the thing they are hungry for."
- Lies connect the gap.

- 10 - 200 lies/day

- stranger lies 3 times within 10 mins of meet each other

- Men lies more about themselves than other people; women lies more about other people

- Extravert > Introvert
- Married couple: one lie in ten interactions; not married: one in three interactions

- It will be good if the source are checked when talked (popcorn project)
- Conform to which study; Original Quotes;

- We are against lying, but we cover for it

- Larger the cortex-> More Lies

- One year old baby: conceal truth
- Two year old : bluff
- Nine year old: cover up

- Lies spotters : spot 90% of the time.
- Rest of us : spot 54% of the time.

- Technique to spot lie:
Formal > Informal language
Distance Language

Chatter with fingertips

Freeze upper body
Fake smile (real smile in the eyes)
Over compensate eyes contact

An honest person will cooperative; brainstorming; imply strict punishment; furious about wrong accusation

Deceptive; redrawn; way to much detail; very chronicle details; uncoordinated speech physical gesture

Leak an expression; contempt (you are been dismissed, asymmetrical lips)

Lower vocal tone, feet to the exit (need to appear in group)

Technology to deceive lies.

Challenge: over sharing is not honesty. Signal to outsider to not cooperate on lies.

Wingham Rowan: A new kind of job market

- Problem: make use of flexible labor force. Defined by a last minute of available force.
- Marketplace for rush hours. The terms that they will accept booking.

- Labour, market research people.

? only for interchangeable task; what about more specific task?

-> Modern Market for all
- using machine/algorithm to analyze the opportunity
- as compared to the current listing methodology

- what needs to be done ( the following info. needs to be open)
- ids
- credential
- license

national lottery.

start by outsourcing gov. work. to small business.
-> have more data, that can add value

Tim Berners-Lee: The year open data went worldwide

- Water and White people
- Open data, to rebuild map in Haiti very fast

Arunachalam Muruganantham: 我如何開始一場衛生棉革命

- I have to say above all, that I really thank the translator of putting the subtitle.
- Kind of long at the end.

- Inspiring to build and give away.

David McCandless: The beauty of data visualization

- Gov. Budget
- Fear
- Facebook status: Breakup 10,000

- Relative Data
- 1,000 medical study; 250 visualization; one month to fill a medical graph

Jeff Bezos: What matters more than your talents

Recommended by Roger.
- My Grandmother bursted into teers.
- One day you will understand that it will be harder to be kind (choice) than smart (gift)

- Will you take proud of your gift, or proud of your choices?

- Choice of starting up
- How will you use your gift?

- We are our choices

Ric Elias: 3 things I learned when my plan crashed

- Bad wine collector, because if the opportunity was ready, why not open it?
- Ego, things that you don't care with people that you care
- Death is not feat, but sadness, why can I spend more time as a parent

TED: Hannah Fry: Is life really that complex?

A very interesting speech  about using Mathematics in real life.

In the past there was two kind of extreme problem that were possible to solve ( bench-marking Einstein):
- Very few object, with low interaction. [Ball A hits Ball B]
- Large quantity of object, where interaction nullify. [Large quantity of atoms]

 Math is now possible to let us work on some problem in between:
- Mitigation of people in Europe -> Gravity Model (Distance & Opportunity)
- Burglary, once break, will happen more often, until police came dynamics hot spots->  Chemical reaction where Leopard gets its spots
- Riot:

1. Decision to Riot, more people know, more people get infected-> virus spreading model
2. Pick Riot site, take somewhere near, unless good cause-> consumer model for local shopping
3. Interact with Police, less encounter as possible-> predator and prey pattern

Combining all together, you can build a model that predict riots in city.


Next Step: 
Where I can find more of this kind of research? 
It will be interesting to collect different pattern of Nature. And use Google correlation. 

TED talk Terry Moore: Why is 'x' the unknown?

Because "sh" sounds from Arabic to Spanish.

Renny Gleeson: 404, the story of a page not found

Broken relationship is part of the customer experience. And if that is so, a good reason to make it nice as well.

Good lesson for programmer.

TED: Chris Jordan pictures some shocking stats

Data visualization for some feeling.

Can't this be an automated process?

If it were, what will be the most important component? 
- > Comparison, relative size.

-> Structure. If it is structural data.

-> Emotion trigger.

TED:David Kelley: How to build your creative confidence

It is nice to hear David Kelly speech, but nothing really new if one is already familiar with d school design thinking. Talking of design thinking, I have recently feel that something is seriously missing in the methodology. I don't where is wrong, I just feel that something is not right.

Feeling of doubt.

I think it is because in some of the data point I have recently gather, the result is false, while the process is right. So wondering about design thinking: whether there is some premise that was required but unmet?

Otherwise, how do you explain the gap?

Some note related to the speech:
Fear of judgement.
Albert Bandura; psychologist about phobia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Bandura
Step by step process to get comfortable with snake.
-> Self-efficacy, sense that one can change the world.
Take people-> series of step -> transformation
Commit to this point, regain their creative confidence.

Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days

Very short, yet inspiring concept. This video first changed my friend Ray, who is starting to compete 30 days cooking dishes for 27 EU countries. He then shared this idea with me, and I have started my own 30 days sketch initiative.

I am at day 18.  Hope to be able to share it soon.
