Code simplification, UI suggestions.

This looks like a simplification.

Well, this is a nice, neat simplification.

So we're going to hand over the process of simplification over to a machine, resulting in automatic simplification.

Obviously, simplification works, but if you as a human do simplification, you may not be entirely happy with it.

And I'm going to do a slight simplification.

Now let's get back to our simplification scheme.

Possible Reasons

Two reasons.

And there are some reasons, some good reasons.

That is because manual simplification is tedious and boring.

Even though there's no arithmetic simplification that I can perform,

For personal reasons.

For these reasons,

Many political reasons.

Couple of reasons

for reasons unknown.

Can we do that? For automatic simplification, we need two ingredients.

So far for the automated test now comes the simplification strategy.

In this case the binary search algorithm is stuck, because the first half doesn't result in a simplification, second half doesn't result in a simplification either.

I've got my reasons.

There are many reasons.

Four more reasons, Brian.

Three reasons. First, curiosity.

Well there's good reasons.

Reasons of my own.

And for obvious reasons.

There are several reasons.

I have my reasons.

But right now, for simplification, we're assuming a risk free discount rate.

Scott McCloud and his book, Understanding Comics, talks about amplification through simplification.

But from now on we'll have the simplification that debt is your liability.

And this slide here is the best simplification of the Great Divergence story

The reasons are as follows.

When talking about those reasons,

I thought about the reasons.

There are other reasons (Laughter)

Even more problematic reasons include

Last year, for various reasons,

I'm here for two reasons.

There are two main reasons.

Probably there are three reasons.

There's really 2 good reasons.

I have 25,000 good reasons.

(Laughter) For good reasons, right?
