that's what a lot of people say, but I think it's more of an excuse/laziness around explaining the actual problem. any entrepreneur who raises a series A will be managed by his investors. if he is not the CEO he will be managed by the CEO and the investors/board.

I didn't intend it to be about money. I also said that entrepreneurs want a 1% shot at ruling the world (king vs. rich). It's really about perception of control and perception of fairness around hard work.

Thanks. Apologies on the tone.
trevor99 | 13 years ago | on: Beware of Ballers on a Budget
No worries. I didn't mean to sound harsh in my tone. I thought your comment was a snap judgement without any real research. If you did do research you would know that I don't do all of the teaching, we bring in experts from every location, just like a conference.

This is great. My favorite part is that you have internal "support services" to help with design/refactoring, etc.

Mark was actually only there for the China part which was four days including weekend. He's actually highly interested in the business climate there and wants his kids to learn mandarin.

faking it is fine if you actually make it. if you don't, then you're just a baller on a budget

absolutely nothing qualifies me to run a lean/entrepreneurial workshop. except our workshops kick fucking ass.
what qualifies you to start a business? what qualifies anyone to do anything?

"It means the probability of a startup making it really big is not merely not a constant fraction of the probability that it will succeed, but that the startups with a high probability of the former will seem to have a disproportionately low probability of the latter."
The "not merely not" phrase here is a little confusing. What PG is saying is that the probability of it succeeding is inversely related to the probability of it being a big success?

what resources have you used or steps have you taken to get into the nitty gritty?

Here's the actual link to apply for the free space/classes: http://m-rge.com/
It's an application only to filter out non-hackers & designers.

The goal of M-RGE isn't to compete on classes/events at all. It's all about creating a community and curating the top people to be there.

The space is not trying to be like GA, ie. classes aren't the point. It's trying to curate the best hacker and design talent into a common community. From my experience at Dogpatch Labs in NYC, free is extremely effective at getting the best people.

It's clear from Pincus's past actions that Zynga doesn't play by the rules everyone else does

I just created an account and am not sure what it is for. There's no about page anywhere.

It's refreshing to see someone admit to their mistakes and grow from them!
trevor99 | 13 years ago | on: Is Sebastian Thrun's Udacity the future of higher education?
No, it's a good attempt though. Most of his courses are too theoretical to matter or get anyone anywhere a job.
