I think there are some steps missing. Mainly about taking the photo naked and stuff.
God, that is fantastic. But yeah, I’m pretty sure the tampon thing is step 1.3, right?
The New York Times does not use Web metrics to determine how articles are presented, but it does use them to make strategic decisions about its online report. We don’t let metrics dictate our assignments and play, because we believe readers come to us for our judgment, not the judgment of the crowd. We’re not ‘American Idol.’

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is an old and well-studied problem in computer science. Given a collection of cities on a map, a salesman must make a tour of the cities, visiting each once, and returning to the city from which he started. Of all the ways that he could travel from city to city, he must find the one that requires him to travel the least total distance (our salesman is nothing if not frugal). Mathematically, we can view this form of the TSP as finding the minimum length closed path connecting a collection of points in the plane.
We can exploit this relationship to produce a new halftoning algorithm (halftoning is any process that approximates a continuous-toned image with black-and-white marks). We distribute cities with a density that locally approximates the darkness of a source image, and pass the cities to a program that finds a TSP tour. The result is a kind of twisty closed path that resembles the original image.
People can be teachers and idiots; they can be philosophers and idiots; they can be politicians and idiots … in fact I think they have to be … a genius can be an idiot. The world is largely run for and by idiots; it is no great handicap in life and in certain areas is actually a distinct advantage and even a prerequisite for advancement.

At the very least, outsiders need to understand that China is controlled for the benefit of insiders. The insiders know when to sell, and so one would expect the businesses that have been made available to the outside world systematically to underperform those ventures still controlled by card-carrying members of the Chinese Communist Party. “China” will underperform China, and a “China” bubble exists to the extent that investors underestimate the degree of this underperformance.

Under more normal circumstances, one would not have thought that the same mistake could happen twice in the lifetimes of the people involved. One might be tempted to invoke extraordinary psychosocial explanations — for example, that all of this was driven by baby boomers who destroyed their minds on drugs in the 1960s and therewith merit the dubious distinction of being America’s Dumbest Generation.

Apocalyptic investors will miss great opportunities if there is no apocalypse, but ultimately they will end up with nothing when the apocalypse arrives. Heads or tails, they lose.
