I have some ideas but it's always a bit dangerous because it's easy to make up stuff ex-post. But I think that you nailed the first two. Red Bull offered an alternative to coffee and the market was lightly validated in rural Thail

Maybe it's also because you guys know how to write scripts like that. I don't know how to do that so I earn my karma in the way it was intended. If I happen to notice someone's karma on Reddit, usually their history will quic

That's annoying. Was it the pop up, or the red hello bar?

Thanks so much for your generous feedback. Ah, yes. That was intentionally. Ironically, to improve the legibility. I've "stolen" your notes and I've added it to my Kan Ban. Thank you for taking the time out of your day.

In fairness, silly ideas can work. Take Dyson, Nespresso, or Red Bull for example. I think it's tempting to succumb to hindsight bias. I'm sure that had Juicero succeeded and become the Apple of juicing, people would've been

hmm.. that person came from a place of bad faith. Clearly, I do not shy away from productive discourse as long as it's done respectfully. But if your first comment immediately starts with name calling...

Thanks projektfu! That's extremely helpful feedback. I'll try to use it to improve future work.

Possibly. But what if Zuckerberg went to a different university. Or fell in love with design instead of building, snd so on. It's too easy, connecting the dots looking back. I believe we have to be careful with hindsight bias. > In

I can assure you I didn't have Feynman in the name of my company to score some extra upvotes on HN. Not that that would even help btw. If you browse through my submission history, you'll see that most of my posts get <10 upvote

Author here. Thanks for your kind comment. Excited to go through the resources you've provided, tomorrow. As for who came up with asymmetrical risk, great question. I'm not sure where I heard it first? I think it might have been V

Perhaps useless was too harsh. But the point I was trying to make is that in a situation with so much uncertainty and where the downsides are constrained, it's better to act and get real world feedback. Doubly dangerous to blindly beli

That's a fair point. Different schools of thought here... but the risk seems to be that one can overanalyse it and spend too much time fantasising about something that is fundamentally uncertain. It is context dependent though. Very di

Yeah, I think that's a fair point. It's probably a good idea to introduce a little chaos into the order, and try things that don't make sense. Difficult to do though in huge companies. Which is why most disruptive innovation
