I'm curious about a tangent topic, if you don't mind. What are your thoughts (or have you thought much about) the feasibility of modern industrial manufacturing workspaces/processes designed with the goal of being easy to shutdown & restart? Edit to clarify what I mean by this: It seems that a significant danger to small or upstart manufacturers is that once they become big enough to achieve stability, their product is likely worthwhile for amazon to copy. At which point amazon will contract a large scale factory and leverage efficiency of scale to outcompete on price. The only ways to avoid losing out to the bigger fish seem to be "Scale Harder" and "Diversify". I am wondering if there are any good ideas about (essentially) diversifying without scaling for physical manufacturing.
