How Big Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner

I use this term in order to nod toward “megaprojects” (which are a fascinating field of study in their own right – read How Big Things Get Done by Flyvbjerg and Gardner for an excellent introduction).

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.
