It's a myth that startups happen in isolation. Those legendary two people in a garage are often building on the deep and basic research -- long funded by government and conducted in universities -- that has come before it. But with the advent of the internet, what's the future of peer-to-peer collaborations and startups-as-"science experiments"? Can venture capital disrupt academia… and vice versa? And finally, what's the secret to universities like Stanford making money off the entrepreneurial ideas coming out of them? (Hint: It starts with a 'p'. But not what you think.)

a16z's new professor in residence Vijay Pande interviews Marc Andreessen at our recent Academic summit on these topics, as well as 'regulatory arbitrage', how to mix humanities and science, and what Marc would have majored in if he were 18 today.

StakePool AMA With Jonas Schnelli - Bitcoin Core Developer

My rundown of Consensus Hackathon 2016. My project was called "Lead Market" and I was recognized last minute by Tierion with their sponsorship prize, but I challenge you to find mention of my project anywhere in the official coverage. I was one of just two Bitcoin related projects out of 26 or so total.

The Takeaways:
- Bitcoin is DEAD
- Bitcoiners are dinosaurs
- Ethereum invented this space
- Code doesn't matter -> Talk is better
- Blockchain stack apps are the new hottness
- The more complex and unrealistic the idea the better
- IBM/Deloitte/Microsoft are totally clueless and merely here to be here
- Consensys + Ether.camp are the two major boiler rooms for Ethereum now

Lyrics:
neva get high on ma own supply 
but the streets is getting greedy 
the party getting needy
they asking for the stuff 
so they can stuffy
i got the cryptocurrency 
so i can buy you and sell you the remedy
i know you sick fool
i got the sick food to get you in the good mood
dont sweat i buy it on the darknet market

yes it is a long line but you gotta join
i do the buying cause i got the bitcoin

1-888-ok-coins

no peace no sleep

you scared peeping through the window
in your life of sorrow

cause your life is horro'
when i know your secrets
and i can release it tomorrow
so dont play dumb
am holding data as ransom
my cryptolocker is a dirty motherfucker

1-888-ok-coins

cash stacker coins roller
stealer of a 120000 bitcoins

bitches chasing me everytime i flex
cause i got the biggest exchange poloniex
