This is true, the key is seeming like a terrible idea, not actually being a terrible idea.

A good idea does not have to appear to be good after 15 seconds, in fact, it is probably a warning sign if everyone thinks your idea is good straight away as then it is likely that someone else has had it and is working on it, or there is some fundamental flaw that you have missed.

Execution most defiantly is critical, but the quality of the idea make execution much easier. The purpose of my post was not to downplay the importance of execution, but to touch on the value of truly good ideas and more importantly how you might find them and recognise them.

I'm running my mail server and it's not that hard IMO. There are a lot of guides, standards are easy to understand. I can't say how much one would devote to setup his server, probably few hours should be enough.

Well, they hired a (presumably competent) web design firm and then told them to implement a truly horrific site wireframe design, replete with a font in the same family as comic sans. It takes a certain amount of hubris - or ignorance - to think you can design an effective, attractive website for a growing business (and in the fashion industry, to boot!) with zero training or background in web development or graphic design.

This is why it is great to have some sort of checklist of your own on which to judge the quality of your ideas.

Just putting together such a checklist has enormous value as you start to question all your assumptions about what a good idea must have - it is not “this sounds cool lets go”.

I disagree with premise 1. Sure there is execution risk, but it is not too hard to sort bad ideas from good one provided you actually have some good ideas. The problem is most of the time you are sorting through bad ideas trying to pick the least worst.

In regards 2 there are very few “buyers" of ideas (if anyone knows of any please let me know). VCs and angels have not shown much interest for ideas until they have been proven. I personally think that given the rarity of truly good ideas this is not optimal. Investors that could bring together the best ideas with the best teams could create real value.

Well, for many people it makes sense to trust their own central bank more than a foreign one, especially when their nation is stable.

No matter what happens, I can pay my taxes and get food at the bakery in Euro. Even if the Euro crashes.

But if I hold Dollar, my government and bakery won’t take Dollar, so I’d have to convert – and lose or make money based on the exchange rate every time.

It’s the same reason why bitcoin isn’t effectively used: If you have to exchange currencies every time you try to buy something, the currency is worthless to you.

And for a billion chinese people, the Yuan is going to be the currency of choice. For 500 million europeans, the Euro is the currency of choice.

But only the US and a handful of instable african or island nations use the Dollar, all combined still less people.

For private holdings, the Dollar is going to lose power. (In fact, it has lost the majority of private holdings long ago)

Except that one of the hallmarks of a really good or great idea is that almost anyone you tell it to says "oh, of course, it's so simple."

But you need a big enough sample size to know it's not friendship-bias from your trusted confidants and some crazy guy with money one of your college buddies knows.

Not all is bad, though. The Cavendish is not exactly the most tasty banana, and all the replacements that people are looking at (Goldfinger, which is shorter, thicker and straighter, Sedas, which is apparently a resistant Gros Michel) are all tastier than the Cavendish.
They knew the replacement rate was 2.1 babies and still consciously pushed the birth rate far below that. Now they are aggressively pushing it in the other direction.

It's almost as if the government agency in charge of manipulating the population always needs to have something to do. They couldn't just say, "We've achieved our goal of 2 kids per family. Let's go home!"

I suspect that the new initiative to increase the birth rate will drive it to at least 3 births per couple, and then there will be a new expensive initiative to reduce it again. That is how you create jobs.

I'd have to agree. To add to your points though, I like to think of Ideas and Execution lying in a spectrum between Genius and Obvious.

You can take an obvious idea (a social network to connect friends circa 2004), add genius execution to it in terms of adoption and growth, and win.

You can take a genius idea (crunch every page in the web and spit out search results in seconds), keep the execution in terms of UI and experience really obvious and win.

You can even take an obvious idea, apply an obvious execution strategy to it, and steadily grow (or at least play a strong catch up).

The scary part is when you mix a genius idea with genius execution - and risk getting having brilliant app fly over the head.

IMHO bad things start to happen when we start falling blindly in love with our own intellect.

Sure, I agree with you. I think PG said that how good the idea is, is a value multiplier. I think the problem is when people believe that ideas, on their own, have inherent value.

But (100 idea) * (0 execution) is still = 0

The reverse is also true, however: (0 idea) * (100 execution) is also 0

I think maybe what I believe (and many people believe) is that execution is weighted higher than idea, but that doesn't mean that idea has no value at all - just not so much that it is usually more important to execute well than worry about the perfect idea. Also, most people have many ideas, so if one fails or turns out to be bad, its not such a big deal and can be fixed.

Finally, we have the "ideas people" who bring little to the table but the idea. I would argue that these ideas have close to no value unless the person can augment it with something else of value too.

That sounds a lot like the user experience of Facebook, for users who have incompatible groups of family and friends. You know your college friends would appreciate that Bernie Sanders quote, but if you share it on Facebook then your Ted-Nugent-wannabe uncle might flip out. The similarity is surely not coincidental. It's a variant of Conway's law.
I think the real reason people say 'ideas are cheap' - is because in the grand scheme of things - an idea is not worth much.

An idea on it's own, is just an idea - without a really good execution / team behind it - it has little to no value.

Only once a good idea has been executed really well, by a good team - does that idea suddenly have value. Generally the 'proportional' effort of actually executing the idea (in time / money / resources) - compared to the effort in generating the 'idea' - makes just having the 'idea' cheap.

This is not to say all ideas should be valued equally - there are both good ideas and bad ideas, but no idea will provide value (or have much worth) without it being executed really well.

(Hence someone can think of something like 'uber' or 'facebook' - relatively simple concepts to conceive as an idea - but without huge efforts in execution - they would not have become as valuable as they are).

What I mostly notice is that people who have never tried to execute an idea (or don't even know where to start) - are the ones who generally value ideas the highest. e.g. someone may say 'I have an amazing idea, but I won't tell anyone in case they steal it'... or someone else may say something like 'I had the idea for facebook before facebook existed'.

In both of these examples - the person has valued their 'idea' as much as the end execution.
No, the Mozilla suite was based on Netscape 4, the "Communicator" suite -- totally '90s.

We did Firefox as a pirate ship within Netscape and made it the lead product/project when we spun out Mozilla Foundation. See the roadmap update that Dave Hyatt and I wrote in 2003:

http://www-archive.mozilla.org/roadmap/roadmap-02-Apr-2003.h...

The Mozilla suite had become SeaMonkey and was a separate and tertiary project (after Thunderbird, after Firefox).

This was not "research" (I'm a founder of Mozilla Research along with Andreas Gal and Dave Herman, btw). This was our one and only shot at making a come-back. By 2003, the '90s suiteware craze was over.

declassified means that it was previously (but no longer) classified; unclassified means that it is not classified.

Good Ideas that get tested will make money and mature with feedback.

Truly Great Ideas hidden away rely on you (and your confidants) alone to mature, grow, and test.

Perhaps part of that intrinsic value in a Truly Great Idea is the debt you start to incur working the Great Idea before it's ever given a chance to prove itself.

There's a bunch of discussion about this [0][1][2][3], but it comes down to the cost of opportunity and the drive to spend that effort and resources. You've had your idea, already bought into it, and have the history around the idea that will drive implementation and innovation.

Probably no one else you tell it to has that. And anyone else that wants to work on some awesome new startup is already circling their own fantastic(TM) idea.

So share! Get feedback from smart people who will help shortcut the path to takeoff for your idea. Because if someone has a good idea in the same vein as your great idea and executes, how long until your great idea is yet another "that could have been me"?

I do address this in my post. One of the hallmarks of a good idea is one that is simple to explain, but hard to think of for the first time. These idea have the advantage of removing competition, but lowering the barrier to acceptance. They are of course rare.
Regarding 2, the idea "buyers" are not VCs and angels, they're the other people you need to implement your idea. The savvy engineers and business people you want for your initial team are probably the kind of people to have great ideas themselves. And if they're already working on them, your idea ain't special.

I think that kind of marketing would have made a big difference.

Some people do want to design their own clothes. But they'll probably be making their own clothes by hand already. Everyone else wants low cost, a strong brand, and/or a celebrity link.

So mistake one was assuming that just because you're a build-it-yourself person, everyone else is too.

But more, marketing for these kinds of projects has to be creative. You have to invent your customer relationships and your brand, not just try to buy them wholesale using social media and Google as a retail store for clicks.

If this was easy, everyone would do it. But it's not easy at all. It's really, really hard.

Still not convinced reducing sugar is going to stop childhood or adult obesity. The large part of it is simply because food is too convenient. With many foods having no preparation requirements it becomes easy for food to fill idle time.

The easiest route to reducing over eating of foods that don't complement a sedentary diet would be to restrict food assistance programs. Instead of just saying "No" to certain purchases it should instead reward specific food type purchases. You could put a punitive value on some allowed but not good for you foods in necessary but rewarding good choices is better than punishing bad.
