Ask HN: What kind of bussines is 'antifragile' during these times?
- satya71 7y agoPlayset makers probably. I'm considering buying one to keep my kid engaged. They can't share with the neighbors.
- mdorazio 7y agoUtilities, staple goods, healthcare. People still need to cover the basics even if they're not going to work.
- tlb 7y agoAn antifragile business should be antifragile period, not just in certain times. N.N. Taleb would surely give you a vigorous public thrashing for mis-applying his term :-). Most online services will grow while people are stuck at home. Entertainment will grow somewhat, but practical and educational services will grow even more. As well as a huge immediate demand for masks & sanitizer, the public will probably demand an substantial stockpile of such supplies for the future. So if you build a mask factory, you don't have to worry that demand will fall off a cliff in a few months.
