François Chollet on Twitter: "Hot take: the success of TikTok says nothing about the potential value that Vine may have had. Building a hit product is difficult and involves a significant element of luck. Being 80% right is not enough"

  Even if you get the feature set 100% right, a social app is also a community and a brand -- if you don't get the right people to join at the right time, it's over

  like the spread of a virus or religion ... I guess you read Fooled By Randomness / Taleb if not read this book (The rest of Taleb books are not at the same level) :-)

  Beware of China, you think they are nice because tiktok has market, no one hates China but I tell you if China gains world dominance, it will be tragic very well for you, China is no good to handle crucial matters that affects lots of people world wide.
