Not sure if it’s smart to do that if you aren’t entirely sure about what mental state a person could be in.
Edit: okay I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for this but if you think you can just tell someone you’re going to steal their awesome idea in 6 months you better hope their not the type of “crazy” entrepreneur who will cause problems for you or in extreme cases even end up shooting you in the back of the head.
- ggeorgovassilis 2y ago> okay I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted Because saying "don't do something because an irrational player might irrationally punish you for that" isn't particularly insightful. To expand on your argument, I could find out your real identity (this is hacker news, so I might be a hacker) and pay you a visit (I won't, I'm too lazy & incompetent for that). Just saying that your argument doesn't make sense to me. > you’re going to steal their awesome idea I paid for it by listening to a bad sales pitch, that's 40 minutes of my life I'm never getting back. Also, there was no confidentiality or non-compete agreement. > end up shooting you in the back of the head Only a semi-related tangent, I live in Europe, people here usually don't carry guns which shifts the entire risk/reward calculation significantly.

- pjc50 2y agoYou never know when you're going to get hit by a car either. Or a meteorite. It's a tempting trap to make decisions - or even worse, paralyze decisions - around the rare outcomes, rather than the common ones.
