I don’t know about y’all but I’m pretty tired of big tech’s “disrupt first, lobby government for permission later” approach to profiteering off the less regulated aspects of society. I’ve soured on a lot of the (often yc-backed) unicorns that came out of the early 2010s.
- umvi 4y ago(serious) Are there any examples of new/innovative/disruptive technologies that got government permission first before successfully launching?
- ilikehurdles 4y agoFair question and I don’t have an answer. It makes me wonder how disruptive the earlier approaches to cars and railroads were.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoSo different from big-auto creating cars and scaring the horses. Or big-electricity burning the city down with their wires all over the place. Nothing new under the sun.
