Honestly, why would anyone share a good idea here? I get it that ideas are cheap, but if someone actually thinks they have slam dunk they're not going to share it on HN.
- RivieraKid 6y agoIdeas may be cheap but they can be insanely valuable.
- jppope 6y agoI think the argument is about market trends not IP/company ideas... still a valid criticism though

- skmurphy 6y agoSome folks--including many on HN--have many more insights or "good ideas" than they can execute on. If they want to see them come to fruition they are not harmed by giving away a substantial fraction of them that they don't plan to execute on but still see the possibility of and need for. See http://blog.fogus.me/2015/11/04/the-100101-method-my-approach-to-open-source/ http://blog.fogus.me/2015/11/04/the-100101-method-my-approac... or https://www.nickbentley.games/the-100-10-1-method-for-game-design/ https://www.nickbentley.games/the-100-10-1-method-for-game-d... for two descriptions of a 100:10:1 model. There are other models.
- cocktailpeanuts 6y agoWell I was asking for technology/market, not ideas. Unlike most people who say ideas are worth nothing, i do believe both ideas and execution matter. That said, just sharing information on what market looks attractive and what tech looks promising is not even an "idea".
- quickthrower2 6y agoThe slam dunk will look like meh to everyone else. It’s the idea AND the insight that counts.
