I don't think he missed it. From his essay:
"Similarly, since the most successful startups generally ride some wave bigger than themselves, it could be a good trick to look for waves and ask how one could benefit from them. The prices of gene sequencing and 3D printing are both experiencing Moore's Law-like declines. What new things will we be able to do in the new world we'll have in a few years? What are we unconsciously ruling out as impossible that will soon be possible?"
- npguy 14y agoRight. That's exactly the point from Jawed Karim's speech. Except that these are not big waves always. These could be small technology enablers. But the conclusion is the same.
- monsterix 14y agoWell given that PG/team has been able to create this awesome community of really intelligent people to discuss such ideas is enough to ensure that he doesn't really miss any of these fringe stories of success. In this essay sure, but not in the complete picture out there.
