@DCoulbourne Is it really “members only?”

Do you have to apply to be a member?

@kentf I think it's more like this: they justify their "desire" purchases by telling themselves it was something they "needed."

@nathaniels_dev @TransistorFM Awesome! 🙌

@petecodes Yeah I was planning on putting some debate notes there, but then I got sick.

@AlexRedfern17 @shl @IndieHackers @csallen Thanks Alex!

@GregMolnar @IndieHackers @shl @elonmusk First, SpaceX is private (so we don't know how they're doing financially). Recently, 400 employees signed an open letter expressing concern over his public behavior.

Second, up until now, TSLA's stock price hasn't been grounded in fundamentals. I think this will change.

@GregMolnar @IndieHackers @shl @elonmusk The Tesla stock price has plunged in the last year.

Since he announced his intention to buy Twitter, Tesla has underperformed the S&P.

@GregMolnar @IndieHackers @shl @elonmusk From a CEO-perspective it actually matters a lot: because all of your shareholders and employees are depending on those partnerships.

And this wasn’t him “speaking truth to power”; he was just acting irresponsibly.

Leaders need to take responsibility for what they do and say.

@GregMolnar @IndieHackers @shl @elonmusk I’ve said that his rhetoric around “free speech” is misguided.

And, I’ve said, I think it’s a bad leadership decision for him to get distracted by Twitter, when he’s leading multiple high-stakes companies.

But saying that “I’m pissed” is a mischaracterization. You’re projecting

@GregMolnar @IndieHackers @shl @elonmusk Where in the episode (time stamps please) do I seem “really pissed that Elon wants to buy Twitter?”

@nathanallotey Thanks Nathan! Hope you’re doing well! 👍

@soyhecsanchez @arvidkahl It's less about their actions, and more about identifying the underlying characteristics of the market, their timing, their product, and the strengths that made them successful.

@DusteDdk Steve recognized the market's existing momentum (BlackBerry, and others) and saw an opportunity.

@timregnier I’m intrigued.

Is the money you give them connected to chores or anything?

Equal for all kids? Do they go to the store by themselves, or do you drive?

@akippity More history here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_digital_assistant

@akippity Palm Pilot sold over 30 million units!!

That's hardly "no market demand."

Palm built on top of the momentum Apple (and others) created with devices like the Newton:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton

@akippity They were building on top of existing momentum (a growing wave of demand).

They saw where the momentum was going (whoa, folks like sharing photos on Twitpic, and they like applying filters with Hipstamatic).

They iterated on top of what already existed.

@akippity I'm not convinced that Instagram was a brand new category.

They had many pre-existing competitors: Flickr, Picasa, Path, TwitPic, etc...

@akippity can you give me an example of (b)?

@BlackRosieMedia @RiversidedotFM @TransistorFM Yes! It’s a great way to create podcast episodes.

@aarondfrancis @Netlify 👍

@adamd 😆

@machadogj Except, the leaders in a given product category are usually of that caliber.

So you're still in the ring with high-level competitors.

@charliprangley Yikes. That really sucks.

Does TikTok have an easy way to report stolen content?

@earthlingworks @TheOmarZenhom @Patticus Yes. I’ve written about that quite a bit:

@Shpigford My meta point is statistical: because it’s easy to want/start a business that gives you FT income, many will try, and most will fail.

(Your definition is more broad. I agree that we should encourage folks to make stuff, experiment, etc)

@JackEllis @Patticus Nice. DM me! I want to hear what they were. 😉
