- jakozaur 14y agoSharing Google Docs to large amount of ppl doesn't seems a best way of doing it. I seen it couple of times and usually there were some problems. Are there any other lightweight tools of doing it? I could even imagine a new startup which create/provide tooling around Google Docs. Some desired features: - spreadsheet based - better tags/search/filter for column - fine grain permissions (proposing a change, ability just to add/modify your entry) - ...

- rauljara 14y agoThe Onion recently began parodying TED talks. This one is my favorite so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tom6_ceTu9s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tom6_ceTu9s . The Onion parodies are definitely not entirely fair, but they do a good job of pointing out that a lot of TED talks are definitely more on the aspirational side of things. I've definitely seen a few TED talks where the speakers' abilities basically covered up the fact that they weren't actually saying anything. I was kind of heartened to see the onion parodies, because I had wondered if I was the only one whose bs detectors were going off. This isn't to say you should be dismissive of TED talks out of hand, or that they're all crap, or anything. I actually think that if they didn't let a few bs-ers in it would be a sign that they weren't taking enough risks. But it is important to keep in mind that some talks are little more than hand waving. And you definitely shouldn't automatically assume it's brilliant just because it has the TED brand behind it.
- tokipin 14y agoi more or less lost respect for TED a couple years ago
- simonebrunozzi 14y agoMe too, more or less. Sad.
- freshhawk 14y agoI think the social media Onion talk (http://youtu.be/CK62I-4cuSY http://youtu.be/CK62I-4cuSY) is the most relevant to HN (and my favourite). You are definitely not the only one who's BS detector was going off. I find that TED has about the same number of good talks per year as it used to. And about 10 times more talks per year than it used to. That's not even counting the cesspool that TEDx has become.
- MichaelAO 14y agoPretty cool! This reminds me of this TED talk... Sebastian Wernicke: 1000 TED Talks, 6 words http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3nEK1qSkA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3nEK1qSkA
