It might be closer to say that the ideas are like producing sperm. Easy and fun to do, but getting one to an egg requires some logistical expertise.
So fertilizing the egg is getting funding, and a successful exit is the kid moving out at 18.
I'd prefer a virgin birth, then selling the child a few years later

How did you went so far while reading the list?
I ctrl-f'd for something else and had to do a double take when I saw that. The worrying part is presumable someone actually does that job - which seems to only involve sticking tubes into people, never mind which hole.
Someone's gotta do the job.
I've thought that inserting IVs is something that nurses struggle with a lot and maybe could be automated. It would be an absolute nightmare to develop that robot though, as you'd have to go through all of the medical device certification on top of dealing with all of the edge cases of human anatomy.

> ideas are EASY That's true. I see a few things behind the monitor right now. 1) Trees. Let's do something with them, like planting them at scale, maybe mess with their DNA, WCGR? 2) The window has birdshit on it. Let's build window cleaning drones. 3) Ceiling lights. These are really crap make a really smart, well designed one for office environments.
There are multiple companies building and selling window cleaning robots. Drones are... terrible for this use case.
You know, I never realized until I read your comment that "drone" seems to specifically refer to a UAV, and "robot" to a terrestrial type.
Which is strange to me, since when I hear "drone" the first animal that comes to mind is an ant. I thought it'd just be a catch-all term for any kind of bot.

#158This combined with the WeWork news is not doing anything to counter my opinion that startup culture is both practically vacuous and morally bankrupt.
If I upload the right HTML to github, can I get you to move to Portugal and become a cod fisherman?

#159> 7819. Participate or assist in raids and arrests. Yeah, well, not sure about this one.
Lots of money to be made selling equipment for those.

#160I subscribed to a few newsletters that would send me startup ideas and problems to solve on a daily basis. But somehow that didn't do anything for me. Some even would offer to connect me to people with the problem, but I had the feeling even with people who would say "I have problem X and I'd pay for a solution" the whole process was still too abstract for me. I think this has more to do with the business side of thi…
Flip it on its head: don’t start with an idea. Start by identifying a group of people you belong to (e.g. “Rails developers”), because it gives you an instant leg up in knowing their struggles. Then research their struggles. Write about them, and solve them. Grow an audience (read: email list). After all that research you’ll have a solid idea of what they already want and buy, and you can create that for them. Plus y…
I read their books, somehow I felt lost rather quick after starting to pursuite their ways.
