Every time I see such startup attempt with an invention I think of this: They have made an invention, then they've patented it to prevent others from making the same product and selling it, then they'll start selling this thing and if they are somehow happen to be very successful (microsoft, apple, google, etc.) we'll accuse them of becoming trusts, as if they've not shown the intent thereof with the very action of patenting the invention, and as if when a startup comes out with the slogan "our invention will revolutionise the world," they are not willing to be the one company that sells every single instance of the product, which is, well, the very definition of a trust. So at the end of the day it is legitimate to feed the aspiring trusts until the day they become actual trusts bashing others with their patents, when we'll call them patent trolls that are killing the startup arena, market, world or whatever. Enter out two-faced deceitful and hypocritical western culture.
Then, a "shower-head startup" sounds more like a name for a comic strip than an actual business. I'm sorry, and I know that here is news dot ycombinator dot com, but yet, this startup thing is really becoming a big joke.
- volaski 11y agoI don't even know what you are rambling on and on about esoterically in the first paragraph, but as for your argument in the second paragraph, there are actual existing "businesses" that do sell showerheads. You bought it. I bought it. Everyone who lives in a house with a bathroom bought it. Otherwise we wouldn't have showerheads. It's not a comic strip.
