Among the things I learned this week:
* DVR users’ commercial skip rates, which vary primarily by time of show (e.g., primetime, daytime). (Courtesy: Thomas Rogers on Bloomberg Radio)
* About 98 percent of Bitcoin transactions occur off the blockchain (Courtesy: a16z Podcast)
* Tap music developed out of American slavery, an outgrowth from Irish and West African dancing. Ella Fitzgerald’s Apollo debut was going to be a tap dance, but she decided to sing at the last minute out of nerves. (Courtesy: Harper’s review of What the Eye Hears: A History of Tap Dancing)
