社交媒體就是一個水族館，網紅和名人是那裡的展品----水母、鯊魚、章魚、小醜魚等等。 普通訪問者就是遊客，對展品的形狀和顏色驚歎不已。

Social Media Sites Are Metaphorical Aquariums

I loved reading Elizabeth Lopatto’s stab at a “unified taxonomy of text-based social media”.

The successful social media network is an aquarium. The influencers and posters are the denizens — jellyfish, filter feeders, sharks, octopuses

The "Hacky Way" to control length of AI-generated text

So the list of what you need to do to get from here to starting a startup is quite short. You need to get good at technology, and the way to do that is to work on your own projects. And you need to do as well in school as you can, so you can get into a good university, because that's where the cofounders and the ideas are.
所以，從現在到創業需要做的事情清單其實很短。你需要在科技方面很在行，而實現這一點的方法就是做自己的專案。你還需要在學校裡盡可能表現出色，這樣你才能進入一所好大學，因為共同創辦人和點子都在那裡。
That's it, just two things, build stuff and do well in school.
就這樣，只有兩件事：打造東西和在學校表現出色

So it's critical, if you're a young founder, to build things for yourself and your friends to use. The biggest mistake young founders make is to build something for some mysterious group of other people. But if you can make something that you and your friends truly want to use — something your friends aren't just using out of loyalty to you, but would be really sad to lose if you shut it down — then you almost certainly have the germ of a good startup idea. It may not seem like a startup to you. It may not be obvious how to make money from it. But trust me, there's a way.
對於年輕的創業者來說，為自己和朋友打造產品是至關重要的。年輕創業者最大的錯誤就是為一些神秘的其他人群打造產品。但如果你能做出一些你和你的朋友真正想要使用的東西——不僅僅是出於對你的忠誠而使用，而是如果你關閉它他們會感到非常難過——那麼你幾乎肯定已經擁有了一個好的創業點子的萌芽。它可能在你看來不像是一個創業點子，也可能不知道如何從中賺錢。但相信我，總有辦法的。
What you need in a startup idea, and all you need, is something your friends actually want. And those ideas aren't hard to see once you're good at technology. There are sticking doors everywhere. [2]
創業點子所需要的，也是唯一需要的，就是你的朋友真正想要的東西。一旦你精通技術，這些點子就不難發現了。到處都有卡住的門。 [2]
Now for the third and final thing you need: a cofounder, or cofounders. The optimal startup has two or three founders, so you need one or two cofounders. How do you find them? Can you predict what I'm going to say next? It's the same thing: projects. You find cofounders by working on projects with them. What you need in a cofounder is someone who's good at what they do and that you work well with, and the only way to judge this is to work with them on things.
現在來談談你需要的第三個也是最後一個東西：一個或多個聯合創始人。最理想的創業公司有兩到三個創始人，所以你需要一到兩個聯合創始人。你如何找到他們？你能猜到我接下來要說什麼嗎？還是那句話：項目。你通過與他們一起做項目來找到聯合創始人。你需要的聯合創始人是那些在自己的領域很優秀，並且與你合作愉快的人，而判斷這一點的唯一方法就是與他們一起做事情。
At this point I'm going to tell you something you might not want to hear. It really matters to do well in your classes, even the ones that are just memorization or blathering about literature, because you need to do well in your classes to get into a good university. And if you want to start a startup you should try to get into the best university you can, because that's where the best cofounders are. It's also where the best employees are. When Larry and Sergey started Google, they began by just hiring all the smartest people they knew out of Stanford, and this was a real advantage for them.
在這裡，我要告訴你一些你可能不想聽的事情。在課堂上表現出色真的很重要，即使有些課程只是記憶或者對文學的空談，因為你需要在課堂上表現出色才能進入一所好的大學。如果你想創業，你應該努力進入你能進的最好的大學，因為那裡有最好的聯合創始人，也有最好的員工。當拉里 (Larry) 和謝爾蓋 (Sergey) 創立谷歌 （Google） 時，他們一開始就從斯坦福 （Stanford） 僱用他們認識的所有最聰明的人，這對他們來說是一個真正的優勢。
The empirical evidence is clear on this. If you look at where the largest numbers of successful startups come from, it's pretty much the same as the list of the most selective universities.
關於這一點，經驗證據很清楚。如果你看看大部分成功的新創公司來自哪裡，你會發現這份清單和最難進入的大學名單幾乎一模一樣。
I don't think it's the prestigious names of these universities that cause more good startups to come out of them. Nor do I think it's because the quality of the teaching is better. What's driving this is simply the difficulty of getting in. You have to be pretty smart and determined to get into MIT or Cambridge, so if you do manage to get in, you'll find the other students include a lot of smart and determined people. [3]
我不認為這些大學的聲望會導致更多優秀的新創公司從這些學校誕生。我也不認為這是因為教學品質更好。推動這一現象的原因很簡單，就是進入這些學校的難度。你必須非常聰明且有決心才能進入 MIT（麻省理工學院）或 Cambridge（劍橋大學），所以如果你真的進入了，你會發現其他學生中有很多聰明且有決心的人。[3]
You don't have to start a startup with someone you meet at university. The founders of Twitch met when they were seven. The founders of Stripe, Patrick and John Collison, met when John was born. But universities are the main source of cofounders. And because they're where the cofounders are, they're also where the ideas are, because the best ideas grow out of projects you do with the people who become your cofounders.
你不一定要和你在大學認識的人一起創業。Twitch（圖奇）的創辦人在七歲時就認識了。Stripe（條紋）的創辦人 Patrick（派翠克）和 John Collison（約翰·科利森）在 John 出生時就認識了。但大學是共同創辦人的主要來源。而且因為共同創辦人在那裡，想法也在那裡，因為最好的想法往往源自於你和後來成為共同創辦人的夥伴一起做的專案。

So Mark Zuckerberg shows up at Harvard in 2002, and the university still hasn't gotten the facebook online. Each individual house has an online facebook, but there isn't one for the whole university. The university administration has been diligently having meetings about this, and will probably have solved the problem in another decade or so. Most of the students don't consciously notice that anything is wrong. But Mark is a programmer. He looks at this situation and thinks "Well, this is stupid. I could write a program to fix this in one night. Just let people upload their own photos and then combine the data into a new site for the whole university." So he does. And almost literally overnight he has thousands of users.
2002 年，馬克・祖克伯 （Mark Zuckerberg） 來到哈佛大學 （Harvard University），而學校那時還沒有一個完整的線上臉書 （facebook）。每個宿舍都有自己的線上臉書，但是整個學校卻沒有。學校行政部門一直在開會討論這個問題，大概再過十年就能解決了。大多數學生並沒有意識到有什麼不對。但馬克是一個程式設計師。他看到這種情況就想：「這真是太蠢了。我一晚上就能寫出程式來解決這個問題。只要讓大家上傳自己的照片，然後把資料整合到一個新的網站，就能為整個學校服務了。」於是他這麼做了。幾乎在一夜之間，他就有了數千名使用者。
Of course Facebook was not a startup yet. It was just a... project. There's that word again. Projects aren't just the best way to learn about technology. They're also the best source of startup ideas.
當然，那時的 Facebook 還不是一家新創公司，它只是一個……專案。又是這個詞。專案不僅是學習科技的最佳方式，也是新創點子的最佳來源。
Facebook was not unusual in this respect. Apple and Google also began as projects. Apple wasn't meant to be a company. Steve Wozniak just wanted to build his own computer. It only turned into a company when Steve Jobs said "Hey, I wonder if we could sell plans for this computer to other people." That's how Apple started. They weren't even selling computers, just plans for computers. Can you imagine how lame this company seemed?
在這方面，Facebook 並不特別。蘋果 （Apple） 和谷歌 （Google） 也是從專案開始的。蘋果原本並不打算成為一家公司。史提夫・沃茲尼克 （Steve Wozniak） 只是想打造自己的電腦。只是當史提夫・賈伯斯 （Steve Jobs） 說：「嘿，我想知道我們能不能把這台電腦的設計圖賣給別人。」蘋果才變成一家公司。他們甚至不是在賣電腦，只是賣電腦的設計圖。你能想像這家公司當時看起來有多遜嗎？
Ditto for Google. Larry and Sergey weren't trying to start a company at first. They were just trying to make search better. Before Google, most search engines didn't try to sort the results they gave you in order of importance. If you searched for "rugby" they just gave you every web page that contained the word "rugby." And the web was so small in 1997 that this actually worked! Kind of. There might only be 20 or 30 pages with the word "rugby," but the web was growing exponentially, which meant this way of doing search was becoming exponentially more broken. Most users just thought, "Wow, I sure have to look through a lot of search results to find what I want." Door sticks. But like Mark, Larry and Sergey were programmers. Like Mark, they looked at this situation and thought "Well, this is stupid. Some pages about rugby matter more than others. Let's figure out which those are and show them first."
谷歌（Google）亦然。拉里（Larry）和谢尔盖（Sergey）起初并未打算创业。他们只是想让搜索变得更好。在谷歌之前，大多数搜索引擎并未试图按重要性排序呈现给你的结果。如果你搜索「橄榄球」，它们只会给你每个包含「橄榄球」一词的网页。而且在 1997 年，网络非常之小，这实际上是可行的！某种程度上吧。可能只有 20 或 30 个页面包含「橄榄球」一词，但网络正以指数级增长，这意味着这种搜索方式正变得指数级地更加失灵。大多数用户只是认为，「哇，我确实必须查看大量搜索结果才能找到我想要的东西。」门卡住了。但就像马克（Mark）一样，拉里和谢尔盖是程序员。像马克一样，他们看着这种情况，心想「嗯，这很蠢。有些关于橄榄球的页面比其他页面更重要。让我们弄清楚哪些是，并先显示它们。」
It's obvious in retrospect that this was a great idea for a startup. It wasn't obvious at the time. It's never obvious. If it was obviously a good idea to start Apple or Google or Facebook, someone else would have already done it. That's why the best startups grow out of projects that aren't meant to be startups. You're not trying to start a company. You're just following your instincts about what's interesting. And if you're young and good at technology, then your unconscious instincts about what's interesting are better than your conscious ideas about what would be a good company.
回想起来，很明显这对创业来说是个好主意。当时并不明显。从来都不明显。如果创办苹果（Apple）、谷歌或脸书（Facebook）明显是个好主意，其他人早就已经做了。这就是为什么最好的新创公司是从并非旨在成为新创公司的项目中成长起来的。你不是在尝试创业。你只是在追随你对什么是有趣的直觉。而且，如果你年轻且擅长科技，那么你对什么是有趣的无意识直觉会比你有关什么会是一家好公司的有意识想法更好。
