i had an idea a few years ago where the government couldnt keep all of its prisoners in jail so they instead sent them to this park where they had to fight each other to survive and the last one alive was redeemed and given a second chance. A few months later i saw the trailer for the Hunger Games and my dreams were crushed
Actually a better example of that would be Death Race 2, where that's exactly what happened. Just because something has been done, doesn't mean you can't do it better. Myspace < Facebook... Palm Treo < iPhone
For example: I discovered an iterative process for generating sets of coefficients for a trinomial expansion... but then discovered that someone had already published a direct method for an arbitrary number of variables (n-nomial expansion).
ie. Every time it's happened to me it's already been done better. I suppose I should instead focus on improving things that already exist and let new discoveries happen serendipitiously.
