you don’t need ideas – you need questions

Posted on 14 April 201426 September 2023 By antipaucity 3 Comments on you don’t need ideas – you need questions

Paul Graham asserts that startup ideas aren’t what’s important – and, in fact, thinking you need an “idea” is a major roadblock. Convert your thinking from “idea” to “question”, and you have a potential curiosity to explore, tweak, develop, and deliver. Your best work is going to come when you’ve thought about the problem but…

the “best” industries for starting a business?

Posted on 8 April 20149 April 2014 By antipaucity No Comments on the “best” industries for starting a business?

I generally really like Inc magazine. But this article is kinda ridiculous: “The Eight Best Industries for Starting a Business.” By the time an industry has landed on a list like this, the odds that you’re really going to be able to capitalize on it are super slim.

establishing a data haven cloud

Posted on 6 November 20125 November 2012 By antipaucity 3 Comments on establishing a data haven cloud

In Neal Stephenson’s seminal book, Cryptonomicon, he describes the creation of a “data haven” in the fictional Sultanate of Kinakuta. Why has no-one started building such a service (or, at least not in a public way) on existing cloud services (eg AWS or Rackspace) and/or create their own global network? Data backup and replication is not…
