Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

John Cochrane loved it
Then I found the just-published Knowledge and Decisions , Tom Sowell’s economic masterpiece. (I read several other eye-opening Sowell books at the same time, especially his works on race, and culture. But it is not my task to share that experience today.) This was a world-view-changing experience

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.
