STARPAP

A formal research paper concerning the topics of Science, Technology, Architecture, Religion, Politics, Arts, and Philosophy, for a given city in a certain time-period. For each of the STARPAP categories, the research question "How are beliefs made visible?" must be answered. One page is written on each topic, with a thesis statement and examples regarding the research question, along with other details about the topic. In addition to the seven STARPAP categories, a introduction and conclusion must be written. The introduction provides some historical background and explains what the research paper will include. The conclusion ties different categories to each other, like "Science relates to Philosophy because...". In addition to the research paper, 28 sources listed in bibliographic form must be completed.
STARPAP guidelines dictate that the most important thing to remember is that Research is NOT a Straight Line (section 5.6.1a in the STARPAP handbook). Also, the guidelines say that the best brain food for sustaining focus and brainpower while working on the STARPAP are bananas (section 8.2.4d in the STARPAP handbook).

Startup Girlfriend

A girlfriend of a start-up CEO or co-founder who understands that her boyfriend is a young, crazy, ambitious, aggressive, academically and socially intelligent monster whose sole purpose in life is to create innovative technologies and business models. Therefore, he does not necessarily care about anything that goes on outside of his company or the industry in which it operates.

She also understands that for a period of time, her boyfriend is cash-strapped, and therefore does not engage in spurious expenditures and demands such as bottles of liquor at Hollywood nightclubs, sushi at overtly expensive posh restaurants, and $22 sandwiches at Urth Caffe.

The ultimate startup girlfriend also comprehends that time and not cash is the most important asset.

Dude, Sharon is a total-startup girlfriend. I showed up 2 hours late to her birthday party and even forgot her gift at my apartment, but she wasn't upset at all when I showed up!

startup

A recently formed company. In modern terminology, it has come to describe a company formed with a business model relying on the internet.

Johnny Asshat: "I live in San Francisco, I think I'm going to wake up tomorrow and create a startup selling downloadable toast over the internet. It'll be free, but you'll have to pay for the jam which is where I'll make my money. Aren't I quirky and special?"

Me: "No, you're a self-absorbed idiot. Get a real job."

Startup

is when you have a great tech business idea and you make it a real business, but usually you fail (it's okay), because you're not that f*cking good businessman, or because it turned out that you had a shitty idea and you hadn't pivotted in due time, and you already spent all money.

Good startups (10%): Google, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Evernote, WhatsApp, Snapchat and every other that you using on daily basis.
Bad startups (90%): There are too many to list them, and it will be better to not say them aloud (superstition)
