Weekly Filet #272. Calling bullshit. And more.
1. Calling Bullshit: Data Reasoning in a Digital World (University of Washington)
This should probably be a mandatory course at every school and university, anywhere. (And I just got a ton of new next books to read.)
2. How to Pick a Career That Actually Fits You (Wait But Why)
I wouldn't normally spend a minute on an article with this title, but when it's written by Tim Urban, I'm happy to spend an hour reading. Can confirm: time well spent.
3. The last man who knew everything (The Week)
«It has been a long time since anyone knew anything.» – that's how I misread the first sentence of this story. Guess it's not totally wrong, either, but this is the story of the last man who «knew everything».
4. Style Is an Algorithm (Racked)
«I imagine a future in which our clothes, music, film, art, books come with stickers like organic farmstand produce: Algorithm Free.» (full disclosure: as I'm writing this, I'm listening to music Spotify thinks I'll like)
5. First look at Nintendo Labo (YouTube)
With its latest invention, Labo, Nintendo is bringing cardboards to life. This looks super fascinating.
