Would you rather have Big Tech sit on their cash and not innovate? Some of these ones would 100% fail, and that's the nature of doing business. Apple is trying something radical with Vision Pro. It isnt successful, but I'm glad they are trying it. Microsoft did something crazy with Windows Recall. Will I use it? Nope, I appreciate the risk taking.

When your friend comes upto you and says "We're starting a business", do you immediately go like "haha, you're gonna lose?"

My wish is folks on hacker news have a bit of humility about these kind of things.
