The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

This is a great book to read after you've read a bunch of the other books on my list. A little marketing, a little behaviorial economics, and a number of life lessons fill this book. Reading it was like having a conversation with someone who had read similar things to what I have and getting deep into their theories on how the world works. I picked up a number of ideas that made this a worthwhile read and enjoyed the act of being able to think back on a number of concepts he brings up that I read in other books.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
