maybe framing them as ideas at all is self defeating. What's your $0.02 insight?
what would you recommend ?
insights, literally. :)

#102I love how this has both "An antacid pill that you take once every six weeks." and "An antacid that you only take once a week." It would be nice to be able to "like" the best ideas. Maybe show "hot" ideas in one column and a random sample on another column? This way readers get what's most relevant while preserving discoverability.
> It would be nice to be able to "like" the best ideas. That’s basically r/ideas
Not at all. Upvotes/likes would essentially be the only common feature between the two.

For the bidding market, they will have to displace the existing cartels first. No kidding, these are often controlled by a superhobo, (in my hometown he now owns a house and a nice Tahoe) who “owns” all of the good corners in town. Idk what his take is, but by providing “protection” to corner operators, he seems to do quite well.
Still, Uber Hobo is still a great idea, you could overwhelm those small operators with flash mobs of hobos during the rollout phase and also accept in app payments so that UH could be assured its 35 percent. Also, as a value add, a BLE beacon that shows you already gave today and to not excessively harass you.

#104A note from Jobs on why just having an idea doesn't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kZ0zoDYOmM Doesn't mean ideas aren't valuable, but the process is just as, if not more, important. The full interview has more.
great idea without execution <<< idea with great execution < great idea with great execution
Often great execution = basic execution + luck

#105> 3. After expiry, the ideas goes public. So if you don't work on them, someone else probably will Heh, “someone else probably will” is such a strange way to say “no-one ever will” :D
Right, trying to throw off all the competition you’re sure to see with your new “Ad service that shaves company logos into stray cats” service
Re: Show HN: Don't let your billion-dollar ideas die
#106People are flooding this with deliberately horrible ideas for some reason. I assume the reason is that people are trash. Not really what I expected from HN.
Curious, did you actually expect only to see billion dollar ideas?

Good to know that some things remain the same regardless of whether it is a developed, developing or a poor country.

#108> Nuclear Landmines You underestimate how stupid Cold War weapon projects got, they were putting nukes in anything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_demolition_munition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peacock
> Chicken-powered nuclear bomb Now that's an interesting section (second link)
>A technical problem is that during winter, the temperature of buried devices can drop quickly, creating a possibility that the mechanisms of the mine will cease working due to low temperatures in the winter.[5] Various methods were studied to solve this problem, such as wrapping the bombs in insulating blankets.
One proposal suggested that live chickens would be sealed inside the casing, with a supply of food and water.[6] They would remain alive for approximately a week. Their body heat would apparently have been sufficient to keep the mine's components at a working temperature.

That sounds more like it would quickly become the "sucker" beacon that tells them you pay out.

Counterpoint: This is made up. It is like a crossover episode between HN and AO3
