"1. The Best Ideas Are Already Taken"
I don't understand how anybody could think this. It just simply isn't true. There doesn't need to be a "void" in order for something new to be successful. It just has to be better in some way than the existing technology.
I don't think anybody on HN thinks that the best ideas are already taken. It's the people /not/ starting companies which believe this.
