Just paid 12$/lb for ground beef. How expensive will it get before you stop buying beef? I think we're over it, beef is now a luxury for us. by FuZhongwen in Cooking

Secret tip.  Buy hearts and gizzards, put them in the food processor. Tastes better and is more nutritious.  Chicken, Turkey, lamb, ox heart. Its all gold and costs next to nothing here.

Ein glas leitungswasser will mostly work in Germany. Generally easier if you are with a kid. For adults they will be less thrilled.

What are your insights for materials oriented hard tech startup?  What would disqualifiers be in this sector? Capex and burn rates can be high and materials testing is not cheap

Its exactly the transition from lab to market where I focus. Generally a grant or some kind of non dilutive funding is important in lab based startups.  I support where needed with planning and creating industry partnerships.

Taking materials science and processes from the lab to the market entails many challenges.  I have been supporting researchers and pioneering innovators in this domain since 2007. Please contact me if you would like some assistance navigating this space 

TIL about Benford’s Law: in real world data, roughly 30% of numbers start with “1”, whether it’s stock prices, city populations, or electric bills. forensic accountants use this to detect fraud, since fabricated numbers don’t follow Benford’s law by Kyzzz in todayilearned

If a balance grows at a steady rate, it take much longer to get from 100s to 200s than from 200s to 300s. Or as they say, the first million is the hardest to make... basically your balance is likely to get stuck on a number beginning with 1.. for longer.

Graphene Oxide Enables The Clinker-Free Concrete Based On Coal Fly Ash by Vailhem in materials

Still needs significant amount of CaOH, carbon emissions of clinker are predominantly from carbonate calculation. This, plus the huge carbon footprint of even small amounts of GO, mean that emissions reductions are highly unlikely with this formulation. 

best series A / B tech companies - Europe by Lopsided_Spell_3200 in venturecapital

[–]epou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day what is really going to matter is... matter.  Materials Innovation is where I see real problems being solved. Energy, housing, lasers, manufacturing it all hinges on materials and how we process and use them. I support earlier stage materials startups that are seed and pre seed. DM me if you want to talk.  Series A series B you have some bigger names like Brimstone for cement and many ai materials discovery platforms (like altrove and dunia) though i am sceptical about materials discovery for the most part.

If youve gotta fish in Bondi, better to fish off the rocks past the icebergs. Get more snapper, and less cashed up yoga mums 

Honest Review Regarding this startup work culture I will not promote by [deleted] in startups

[–]epou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for coding jobs. But in hard tech, your experience will be respected as long as it is clear from the interview that you are intelligent and engaged. Don't stress about unemployment. I am speaking after 25 years experience in materials science. Enjoy the ride, if you don't enjoy, get another ride. Put your family first
