I have some ideas; I will sell them to you for 50,000 dollars and half your profits.
It's only fair; I'm an ideas guy and I deserve to be compensated for my work.
- riemannzeta 13y agoPerfect. Why don't you tell me your idea now and I'll write you this check for 100,000 and no part of the profits. That's even better for you, right?
- bjelkeman-again 13y agoI used to see that more before than now. But having spent decades on actual implementation it is often quite easy to show that ideas are mostly cheap and plentiful. Implementation is hard and it I what matters, mostly. There are of course exceptions.
- CocaKoala 13y agoExactly; ideas are only worth the work you put into them. If I have a great idea, and somebody implements it and goes bankrupt, am I liable? Why do idea guys deserve to get compensation for the successes of their ideas without shouldering any of the risk of the failures?
