>> Also anyone has any tips on filtering multiple good ideas to finding the best for for startup? Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, I'm going through the resources in the SuS library here: https://www.startupschool.org/library

This article has now been deleted? Anyone grab a copy before it went down?

Do we perceive octaves as precisely 2:1 or is that an approximation? i.e. is it really 2.041256:1 or similar.

Is this problem then because we start with integer ratios? Is this problem solvable if we started a "true(?)" irrational ratio?

Desmos (supporting MathQuill) is leading the space here I think: https://www.desmos.com/calculator

Absolutely agree that if this was made and made open there would be a lot of opportunities in the math education space.

This is pretty much the selection criteria for "The Apprentice".

Why not just let TED know about this? Like you say, if there are pseudo-science talks at a TEDx event, TED will want to know and get involved.

What about the massive mobile money networks in Africa?

To head off the comments that are already starting to appear: Correct, you can't become an expert at most things in a week and probably misrepresentative to advertise yourself as an expert if you aren't.

That's very different from approaching life with a growth mindset.

Maybe the title shouldn't be "Oh, I'm not a ..." but "Oh, I can never be a ...".

The real problem is that no one teacher is "the best" for all students. What would be brilliant to see is testing which types of presentation styles, speakers or ways of explaining concepts resonate with individual students and giving them a personalised education, no matter which class they get put in each year.

A huge step forward indeed.

there is something in our nature that stirs at a call to arms despite our civilisation.

Is there a transcript?

That is a woefully low sample size...

A great example of fiction in business writing is "The Richest Man in Babylon". It's focused on principles of personal finance but you could easily construct something similar for start-ups.

Mmm, I disagree about psychology of investing stock, time and products together - in Aus, there's a lot of Apple love but little investment in it's stock. Doesn't harm the brand... In the end, investors may like a good stock but customers just like a good product.

I think learning how computers/software works is just as useful as learning history or geography or science, which we already make students learn.

Of course @kaggle (Melbourne-launched, though I hear they're at least part moving to SF) would be a highlight for your start, given they just raised $11m from some very high profile investors in the Valley.

Great! Looking forward to reading this.

Ok, I'm in Australia, so that would make sense :P

yeah doesn't seem to work for me. Keeps "Waiting for connection"...

Improvements to education (expand the Khan Academy model beyond mathematics) - Khan Academy already has a great model with the videos and exercises for mathematics (go contribute at https://sites.google.com/a/khanacademy.org/forge/for-develop...).

The exercises don't extend past maths, and i think would need some conceptual tweaking to apply to e.g. languages or programming.

I'd love to get something up for this - anyone want to join up and brainstorm/rapid prototype a project? Reply to this thread or find me on Google+ and let's hangout.

Thanks wz3chen!

absolutely.
