<p>Yesterday was April Fools&#8217; Day 2011, and there was a barrage of lame, stupid and unfunny April Fools&#8217; pranks and hoaxes by almost everyone who was trying so desperately to be funny, that it.. well.. wasn&#8217;t. <strong><a href="http://www.pathikshah.com/blog/poonam-pandey/">Here&#8217;s one</a></strong> that comes to mind. <img src='http://www.pathikshah.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Characters of Silicon Valley</strong></p>
<p>People you will often encounter in the startup world, especially in Silicon Valley. </p>
<p>Here is a list of the best ones.</p>
<p><strong>Startup Founder: </strong><br />
You have done one of the following things:<br />
- Raised capital (including joined an incubator)<br />
- Generated revenue<br />
- Registered a business entity for that specific project<br />
- Committed to working full time on the project or hired other people to do so</p>
<p><strong>Faux Founder: </strong><br />
You say you&#8217;re running a startup, but you&#8217;ve not designed or shipped an MVP (or know what an MVP is). Instead you are still looking for a co-founder (usually technical) or you&#8217;ve found an engineer(s) to build a prototype that has taken 6 months (so far) without shipping anything. If you are lucky you have a &#8216;coming soon&#8217; page</p>
<p><strong>Super Secret Agent Orange CIA Operative Founder: </strong><br />
You say you have a startup, but can&#8217;t seem to articulate what you do in any meaningful way (even the general space) and at the first question about your company you clam up and then start to cite the need for an NDA.  You then ask for more meetings or introductions to other people so that you can give them the same treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Delusional Founder: </strong><br />
You have raised way too much money and are burning it quickly on a crazy idea. You think you know everything. Chances are you&#8217;ve still not shipped your product or if you have it&#8217;s heavy, got too many features and is a clone of something else that existed 5 years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Faux Angel: </strong><br />
You pretend to have some money that you *might* invest in the right startup. But you don&#8217;t. Since you&#8217;re not actually investing no one&#8217;s quite sure what it is you really do.</p>
<p><strong>Angel: </strong><br />
You have actual money. You actually invest it regularly. You might even have 500 hats. If you&#8217;re good (or just loud) somehow you manage to be everywhere and do everything. If you&#8217;re more of an introvert, most people don&#8217;t know your name &#8211; but you help make dreams come true.</p>
<p><strong>VC: </strong><br />
You have a lot more money. You rarely invest it, but when you do it makes a big difference to the company. If you are not very good, you overvalue your contribution to startups. If you&#8217;re a good VC you recognize you are just an enabler who is lucky to be involved in making a dream come true or changing the world</p>
<p><strong>Socialite: </strong><br />
You&#8217;re not actually in tech &#8211; you just hang around the tech scene because you want to. You may even somehow (seem to) know more about the latest tech news than most of the people who are actually trying to work in the space because you have time to actually read the blogs.</p>
<p><strong>Blogger: </strong><br />
You write for a real blog (i.e. it has more readers than just your family and immediate friends). Startup founders probably wish you would listen to them. You probably wish you were a startup founder. You also probably get a lot of PR girls hanging around you.</p>
<p><strong>Faux Blogger: </strong><br />
You write on *A* blog, but no one reads it. You call yourself a blogger in the hopes you might be confused for the category above.</p>
<p><strong>Web Celeb: </strong><br />
You&#8217;re famous for talking about the tech scene and pimping the things you like. You&#8217;ve likely never actually shipped a software product before or run a web business but you speak loudly and without reservation so people believe you know what you&#8217;re talking about. You also probably get a lot of PR girls hanging around you.</p>
<p><strong>Consultant:</strong><br />
You work at a real firm or have real customers with known brands (either because you helped them get known or because they were known before you got there). You actually move the needle for them and assist with product launches, events, product planning, HR or other PRACTICAL matters</p>
<p><strong>Faux Consultant:</strong><br />
You go to all the startup events (ALL of them), you talk like you understand startups but you are a &#8216;consultant&#8217;. You&#8217;re not really a consultant though, you are just looking for work. You don&#8217;t represent any real firm or domain expert &#8211; u just want to be part of the scene or find an opportunity</p>
<p>Check out the complete list here &#8211; <strong><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApHJIKIDNaZddFltTzc1WkhCTjFGZG9YeUVMUFhVQXc&#038;hl=en#gid=0">Characters of Silicon Valley</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very interesting discussion on Quora. </p>
<p>Q: Given our current technology and with the proper training, would it be possible for someone to become Batman?</p>
<p>A: &#8220;By &#8220;become Batman&#8221; you mean the basic concept of Batman that we all could agree upon &#8212; a master of martial arts, of forensic and detective skills, of gymnastics, of science and chemistry, of history and geography, of the workings of organized crime, of criminal psychology and physiology, and a man with a suit offering protection against bullets and knives and electrocution but which allows him to move as fast as an Olympian runner and acrobat.</p>
<p>The simple answer is, no. Unless you really boil Batman down to a very diluted level as just a really strong, fast, good fighter who can jump far and with good street smarts plus an education in crime and psychology, and who wears a lot of armor and a mask.</p>
<p>The genius of Batman is that it pretends to be realistic, it lets us convince ourselves that with enough money and training, we could become Batman, too. But it&#8217;s still fantasy, it&#8217;s just a fantasy that is more compelling and convincing and thus more fun.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pathikshah.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/batman.jpg"><img src="http://www.pathikshah.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/batman.jpg" alt="Batman" title="Batman" width="480" height="299" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1828" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;If you joined the military and became something like a Delta Force commando of the highest quality, while studying nights to get a double-major in criminal justice and psychology, with a minor in chemistry, you might also have time to take weekend courses in detective work and get a P.I. license. Then, after probably 10 years to reach all of those levels combined, you might be 28 (if you started right out of high school) and would then need to maintain your physical level while getting a job as a police officer in order to learn real crime solving and detective work on the streets and at crime scenes, to get the experience it would really take to be a master. Let&#8217;s say you are so good it only takes you perhaps three years to become a top detective and expert in these regards &#8212; now you are 31, and just finished the most basic level of preparation you need to be an expert in just some of the most obvious fields required to match Batman.</p>
<p>Now you have to quit the force now, and develop a good cover story for yourself so nobody suspects that Batman might be the guy who is an expert in all of those fields Batman is a master at. You have to have made sure you lived your life never revealing your true feelings about crime and vigilantism etc, and in fact covering it up unless you want to be arrested as a suspect the first time Batman has been around town. You need to spend some time doing dry runs around town to find your away around rooftops and fire escapes, practice running around at night in the shadows and not being seen, and presumably start practicing using your ropes and grappling hooks and other equipment you need for nightly patrols. Do some dry runs, make final preparations in case of emergencies, etc.</p>
<p>And you need to have been investing money and amassing a fortune the entire time, because the technology you&#8217;ll need to even get close to a real-world version of Batman will cost millions of dollars. So you&#8217;ve done that, and now you start spending the money to get an armored suit full of electronics to communicate with assistants and have night vision and so on. You need a base of operations, so you buy one of those old used missile silos the military sells (yeah, they really do that, and it&#8217;s pretty cool inside them) and turn it into a secret headquarters for the computers and monitoring equipment and car and bike and other equipment you need for your vigilante life.</p>
<p>Conservatively, you should probably be about 32 at this point. And you are only about to go out on your first night as Batman. Okay, it&#8217;s taken longer than expected and been pretty hard, and honestly you are not quite as much a master of all fields as Batman, but at least you got the basics and are pretty well trained and smart and equipped. So off you go, looking to stop crime&#8230;&#8221;</p>
