@RMB This actually proves your point without relying on unicorns:

@RMB Here are some notes from others that I found interesting:

and

Many VCs just try to find the next Unicorn

@RMB You're right. It could be useful in some areas. But it's not always an indicator of how a startup is profitable or sustainable. It's highly sensitive to ambient metrics like VC ecosystem, valuation bubble & market situation. I also respect your view but we may disagree here :)

[Reza @SheyRez]

@RMB Your point about immigrants is valid. I just don't see a benefit in measuring the growth or health of the startup ecosystem with "number of unicorn founders." Hope it's clarified. ✌🏻

Game-field or game-view?

Low probability (yet impactful) events are already in the game-field. We just shrink our game-view, to achieve a "clear view".

How?
Mental biases. Blind statistics. Loving the average!

How Not?
Rethink likelihoods. Reevaluate impacts. Realign goals.

I know usually no one looks at UN voting results this way, but it's just notable that representatives of almost 52% of world population voted against or abstained from voting for the resolution today.

@ndahlberg @matthaggman @refreshmiami No one talks about these issues unless someone connected to money is stuck. A good percentage of Miami talent are [student] immigrants who can't properly get engaged with the job market due to immigration system. I hope @harryhurst 's problem moves the needle, for him and all.

@matthaggman @DanetLinares Looking good you two! 😍

"Personal brand" is the new "college degree"; yet this time it's not given, it's ventured.

@fgorordo
#knightlive For the mayor: What's the plan/infrastructure for keeping this #miamitech movement sustainable? I mean looking forward to 10-15 years from now, what has to start happening now to avoid the kind of over-saturation issues that Silicon Valley has now? Tx

2020 has not really ended yet. That was just the fiscal year.

[Sir Ken Robinson @SirKenRobinson]

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.

We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.

Racism is the use of the law of large numbers (and scaling) in the opposite direction, by attributing presumed population traits to single individuals.
