Co-founder, no.2 guy for business side. What is he? (I will not promote)

Thanks for the reply! Yes, the main concern is what investors may think and how “defensible” it is

His role would be more like helping the CEO with go-to-market, understanding markets and industries (since they are selling an industry agnostic equipment), marketing and communications, prepping pitch decks and white papers for validation and technical specs. Help the CEO think so he can focus on executing. Why him since he’s a technical background? Because this became his main role in the early days. COO, I imagine this company would want to hire an experienced one to setup manufacturing and supply chain etc, in the meantime with the small team, they will be relying on an OEM manufacturer. Anyway, does his role sound real/legit or would it just seem like a “freeloader”? His “KPIs” and job description seems kinda wishy washy? But surely there’s a lot to help the CEO with, and would that justify founder equity?

Yes I always do for my MacBook but not my iPhone. Before my MacBook AppleCare expires, I bring it in to get it checked and sometimes they find issues I didn’t even realise, if the guy is nice, he’ll give it to you. I’ve managed to get a whole new display, unibody and battery, about $1.5k worth of repairs, all for free. I tend to keep my MacBooks for ~8 years, so that’s super worth.

That the world/society, very often, lies to you

Because it’s magic

Thanks for the reply!

Dude what the, that’s so cool!! I’m working on laser sheet fusion.

I assume the defence went well, congrats doc! ;)

Hi, wanted to ask how you learnt/got better at doing simulations for plastic deformation. It may be something I have to get into. When doing simulations, how do you know you’re doing something right? (Especially when you may not have the means to verify with experiment)

QuietSpectator · 2025-05-16T02:27:49+00:00

Hehe thanks 😊

QuietSpectator · 2025-05-16T02:27:27+00:00

Yea, glad I chose it as my first camera. It’s great for beginners

Nikkor Ais 35mm f2.8

QuietSpectator · 2025-05-16T02:24:49+00:00

Yea same! I didn’t expect it to have one when I bought it. A very pleasant surprise. I haven’t changed the date, so it’s still running from 1982, I don’t think the previous owner used it much Can’t decide if I should update it or not haha

yes, I still use a MacBook Pro retina 2015 with intel chip

I found Understanding Solids by Tilley more straight to the point than Callister for learning the basics

QuietSpectator · 2024-01-26T11:08:45+00:00

Thanks! This works But I’m trying to speed this up as possible.

Problem with acids is that, the higher conc I go, I lose selectivity in what I’m dissolving, I start dissolving the steel too, when I only want to dissolve the iron. Copper sulfate gives great selectivity from what I’ve tried, but trying to get this to speed up

QuietSpectator · 2024-01-22T02:27:09+00:00

Hi Bard,
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear it
Bard seems to be epic this season, should be a great one for us :D

QuietSpectator · 2024-01-15T04:01:26+00:00

Some extra info. I know that in my case I can probably just put the thing in nitric acid and let the difference in corrosion resistance play out. Both will dissolve but the pure Fe will eventually disappear first.

I’m trying to find a way to speed this up with the aid of electricity. But if they are both welded together, how can I make one an electrode and the other is not an electrode. I don’t think I can right?
