Another excellent interview from Vinod Khosla. Also, never heard of this Toby Cosgrove guy before, then I saw that th title card say he worked for Cleveland Clinic and Google which I thought was an interesting combination, so I googled him. Turns out this man is 79 years old. Wow, exceptionally sharp guy for someone who is 79 (or actually for any age). Actually an inspiration for me that you can continue being intellectually sharp in old age.

Thanks for sharing this video.

Edit: I should probably add that I am commenting this 1 minute into the video, let's see how this goes!

So I actually never got a way to skip math classes until I completed the 10th grade.

Not exactly sure how math-proud people feel about me, someone who never spent a day in an Engineering program.

But I was accepted to BME, the #2 most desired major at A&M for the Class of 2013.

You definitely can in order to see how they work, think, and ask questions.

Necessities,
more accessible than food stamps,
spreading an accreditation by how people participate in front of a TV screen (like at a dental place).
