Guy Kawasaki 10-20-30 Presentation Rule

First off, x/2 where x = oldest person's age is not an "algorithm". It's a function of x. An impossibly illogical one at that too.

Secondly, if you can't get the projector to work because you don't know how to use something as easy as something like the NVIDIA control panel or the standby button for the projector, maybe you have bigger problems.

Not impressed by this "guy" at all...

@radicalgarbage02

an algorithm is a set of steps for accomplishing something.

1. Find the age of the oldest man in the room
2. divide that age by two.
3. store that age in your mind as your optimum font

sounds like an algorithm to me

Your age really shows in your words. While this man impresses women with his success, you can try to impress them with your macho youtube comments.

I'm not saying he's the endall of advice giving, but c'mon who are you to trash him? Just a kid.

If you want to convert mathematical processes into procedures, you can even make algebraic equations like the quadratic equation into an algorithm but that doesn't make it known henceforth to everyone as the "quadratic algorithm" now does it?

I don't understand why every time a nobody like me disagrees with someone more "successful", people like you will follow like a herd of sheep without any thought towards the actual content of the comment.

Way to be open minded and unbiased.... *sarcasm*

Look, if pseudo-intellectualism, technological inexperience and technically incorrect quips impress women, they probably weren't my type in the first place.

Just because something sounds intelligent to you and you're too oblivious to understand how he's wrong doesn't make my statements less valid.

I'm not nitpicking because out of insecurity. I'm nitpicking because these things are cracks in the man's educational foundation which his advice is supposed to stand upon.

Meant "quadratic formula" not "quadratic equation"

It's a juvenile argument to trash everything because you don't agree with the definition of one word.

It was also positioned to be humorous: most humans laugh at this point. For me the humour is using an algorithm based on people to determine the font size. It's incongruous and funny. When you are being humorous, you are allowed to exaggerate or be incorrect for effect.

He's not incorrect: it falls into the definition of algorithm, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

He and you don't understand that algorithms are colloquially meant to be a series of processes that get a job done. If you classify mathematical functions as processes, of course it makes sense! But I'll bet the audience only found it humorous because they don't know the difference between an algorithm and a formula. I find it intellectually insulting when someone's teaching and can't even get his words straight.

So, you're gonna get all your subscribers and friends to "thumbs down" me too?

You're also being juvenile for reviving a half-month old comment.

You don't understand what an algorithm is

algorithm

/al-guh-ri-th'm/ noun a process or set of rules used in calculations or other problem-solving operations.

There's no time limit on comments.

Had Kawasaki said formula instead of algorithm, which he does on occasion, it's still funny.

I love his simplicity.. and simplicity does not mean the easiest!!!!
