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

Peter Thiel is an incredibly successful entrepreneur and investor in the Valley. His book, Zero to One, is part startup manual to understand how to start a great business and part philosophical exploration of today's world. I was surprised to see Nassim Taleb of Antifragile quoted on the back of the book saying how good it was, but he's right. There are some amazing, deep ideas explained simply in this book and a must add to an entrepreneur's book shelf.

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.
