DART, inverse Orion, or large ablation laser array?

Haveing a look into different industries highlight how much time as in past, present and future is absolutely not distributed evenly.

@PodContrarian @HayekAndKeynes It sure smells like someone is injecting a cyclical element into the mix

@CCM_Brett @eyesigh558 The idea really is two fold: 1. return on invested capital is what an investor should maximize 2. Growth comes at a cost

Well, I agree with the message. I don’t agree with the words. The art of business has always been to make decisions under the great uncertainties. Let’s not confuse accounting with business. Of course you have to get the technicalities right. Of course you have to build on sound financials. Of course you have to make your clients happy. Of course you need to add more value than cost. Business has never been technical. Business has always been artisanal. Business is about building relationships and building markets. Building markets is was Marketing is about. It is about values and people.

@CCM_Brett @eyesigh558 The value of a business is. Where WACC Weighted average cost of capital really is your opportunity cost.

Don’t underspend

The funny thing about a trade show on immersive virtualization, displays and board room broadcasting is how much all of it just really in person. Let’s shake hands. Let’s chat. Let’s swap business cards. A pleasure to be doing business with you sir. Have a great day.

Trade show or disco? The whole line is blurry when you get into communications, audio & visuals

Instead of head on countering the fears of others, it might be more effective for the nuclear energy community to layout scenarios for ling term storage and waste handling. Both low and high radiation waste. Use story telling, not a list of short facts that others in fear can not comprehend. Fear should be taken seriously. Even if you think it is not warranted. Ppl in fear do not act rational.

It looks like this should be nominated policy of the year or something. PS Metrum and rhymes are a lost art form. This was such an opportunity for: Transit crime Transit time Not trip time.

Sometimes life becomes easier when you get more stubborn and have strong opinions

The Apple Vision Pro is such a wild device. I think the visuals are allright, the controls definitely have a minority report element to them, but what really amazed me is the audio. How private and immersive the audio can be with something that is not touching your ears that is not plucked into your ears is really amazing. I think the Apple Vision Pro might’ve been miss named for the Apple Audio Pro

I have probably looked at more LEDs today than after a week on Time Square

Industry agnostic venture capital investors are in for a rough ride on both sides. The focus on money and all possible opportunities w/o clear focus blurs any possible strategy. Making it even harder to build a joint vision. Those who do excel at this are able to build bridges between historic silos. They connect new branches and develop business opportunities where other where short sited. My gut feeling is that “industry agnostic” should be a red flag most of the time. It at least warrants extra caution and investigation why they can not or want to focus.

The question is probably, if the metal is an ideal crystal to begin with, or if we generalize this to real metallic crystals including defects. While writing this, I start to think higher dimensional defects are probably the once that are more important here. Higher dimensions defects like grain boundaries and porosity. Imagine for example (hot) isostatic pressing. A common technique to densify and alter powder metals & metal ceramic composites. HIP sure does more than elastic deformation and changes the entropy of the material.

Pressure can also change the crystal structure. There very much is a difference between graphite and diamond. With that, I’d argue isoststic pressure increases the potential of the material. Only once another crystal structure becomes more favorable and the material is able to change, the entropy changes. This would imply, that entropy changes are latent to kinetics.
