"Professor Winter Gig"

    Location: on the beach in FL / SoCal / ?
    Remote: yes
    Willing to relocate: no 
    Technologies: A.I./Machine Learning, Crypto/Bitcoin/Blockchain

I'm a computer professor in the business school of a university in the Rocky Mountain area. I get a month off in winter and want to visit some place surfable (e.g. coastal FL or SoCal) to practice surfing.

During that stay, I'd like to work for a start-up on strategy / evangelizing for A.I./Machine Learning or Crypto/Bitcoin/Blockchain. Don't need pay, but sweat equity and a place to crash would be yuuuuuge.

My ideal schedule will be to surf 4 hours a day, and spend 8 hours a day working at the start-up.

Good public speaking skills (have presented at TEDx, video is online).

My regular reads (and YouTube and Twitter addictions) include: Nassim Taleb, Scott Adams, Derek Sivers, Marc Andreessen, Paul Graham.

I'm a computer professor in the business school of a university in the Rocky Mountain area.

I get summers off. I want to visit SoCal or FL during July / August 2017 to learn surfing (I'm a young-at-heart, very physically active male 44 year old, never married, no kids).

During that stay, I'd like to work for a start-up or some such. Don't need pay, but sweat equity and a place to crash would be yuuuuuge.

My ideal schedule will be to surf 4 hours a day, and spend 8 hours a day working at the start-up. I consider myself well-versed in human communication, cognitive biases, UI/UX design, pricing, coaching.

I'm well read. My regular reads (and YouTube and Twitter addictions) include:

    - Daniel Kahneman
    - Marc Andreessen
    - Paul Graham (Y Combinator)

    - Derek Sivers

I'm huge into hacking "learning." I've studied Spanish (Pimsleur Level IV and Michel Thomas Foundation) and French (Pimsleur Level I and Michel Thomas Foundation), and am fluent in English and Hindi. I have a PhD, and hope to do a J.D. one day. Good cook, regular meditator. Originally from India, I have my green card, and expect to have citizenship in mid-June.

I'm a computer professor in the business school of a university in the Rocky Mountain area.

I get summers off. I want to visit SoCal or FL for 3 months during summer 2017 to learn surfing (I'm a young-at-heart, very physically active male 44 year old, never married, no kids).

I don't understand this focus on "white".

The word "Mercedes" in Kalanick's summary is a highly loaded word with a lot of prior meaning attached to it.

Similarly, I think, when people say "Airbnb for something", they're using shorthand for something with a lot of prior meaning attached to it.

My point: we're being too harsh on those who use "Uber for this" or "Airbnb for that"... they're using shorthand the way Kalanick used "Mercedes".

Twitter doesn't work predictably. Period.

The mobile web app is a disaster. There are two back buttons (one in the browser and one in the app), and if I click on a "retweet with comment" to go into the original tweet, and then try either back button, it doesn't take me back to the "retweet with comment".

"Hatching Twitter" claimed they smoke a lot of dope in the offices there. I'm inclined to believe it.

Zuck was 100% apropos: it's a clown car that fell into a gold mine and now doesn't know what to do with it.

The fluting looks like an affordance to attach a spear stem or arrow stem to. To my admittedly "know nothing" self, calling it a shock-absorber might be over-thinking it.

If you read up on what Taleb writes about Lindy Effect, you should be able to understand.

OP said that it's probably good because it has lasted so long. I would agree.

Why the downvotes? This person is describing a real problem with dealing with staff patent attorneys. This is real life.
