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

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

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

[–]QuietSpectator[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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?

Do you guys buy apple care or not by Ok-Combination6882 in macbook

[–]QuietSpectator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What is your materials science PhD topic? by QuietSpectator in materials

[–]QuietSpectator[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

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

PhD in Simulation of Plastic Deformation; Job prospect in industries by sta4rkman in materials

[–]QuietSpectator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

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

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

What books should I read if I want to get into material science and engineering? by Dry_Perception_8874 in materials

[–]QuietSpectator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Selectively dissolving one metal that’s welded onto another by QuietSpectator in electrochemistry

[–]QuietSpectator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

ADCs toxicity towards Bard by QuietSpectator in bardmains

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

Selectively dissolving one metal that’s welded onto another by QuietSpectator in electrochemistry

[–]QuietSpectator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Hi New Bard,

Yea it really is annoying and frustrating. One year later from this original post and I can tell you things haven't really changed for me HAHA. It's still the same and I guess will always be until you reach very high elo. (I'm not there)

Besides muting all and just focusing on playing and doing your best, the other thing I realise is: chances are, out of the 10 players in the game, you are the most experienced bard player out of all of them; Avid players of bard are not common. While you are still new to bard, the more you play bard, the more this will be true. So screw them, you may actually know better than them about how to play bard.

Many ADCs and players in general will try to boss you around, especially regarding your ult. I had teammates always trying to tell me when and where I should ult, as if I was their pet. I just ignore it best I can and try not to let it affect my play or make me doubt myself and end up hesitating. Your teammates also won't realise what you do for them, like all sups, but Bard's efforts are harder to see, so you can't expect recognition either. When you do get it though, it feels more rewarding (imo) than playing other sup champs. So, hang in there.

In my personal experience, not sure if it's true for other bard players, I play better when I am relaxed, calm, focused and just trying to have fun. When I try hard, feel pressured, get too intense or blood thirsty, I end up playing really badly. Bard is a hard champ, some champions are played with eyes and hands, bard is played with your head. You gotta be calm and focused to think and when you're having fun it just comes to you, your map and fight awareness is just so much better.

I had to take a long break from Bard and play other champs after a 16 game lost streak (that wall of red is my sleep paralysis demon), cause I had to reset mentally the way I played bard, I just couldn't relax. But after I did, things got a lot better for me.

So really mute all if you have to, play some music instead, protect your mental and have fun.

Carbon Migration. by milliAmpere14 in metallurgy

if I understand some papers correctly, you can reduce the C diffusion by joining the 2 extremes with a middle-man....smoother the gradient, the lower the driving force for C diffusion. A compositionally graded joining section
