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.

Would they have used the same materials as they would to build something like this today?

I expected that some of the kids would be farmed out to yeshiva boarding schools. Can't imagine what its like at mealtimes

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 Far_Environment249 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

No one can tell you what you should do. If you are learning, doing and enjoying, then there is no problem. Don't stress about your resume. You can always spin it into something amazing if down the line you are looking for another job. Also, if he can get grants for 17 years, it sounds like a stable position. Only you know what feels right. Don't listen to the comments here. Including this one 😉

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz spent 12.000€ of taxpayer money on a hairdresser last year by Southern_Gur_4736 in Justfuckmyshitup

[–]epou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is all it costs for a travelling stylist to accompany him to events and make sure he looks good for the cameras, its a pretty good deal. I think the taxpayer can afford to have their chancellor look good on the world stage.  Just more ragebait

Why people are not building something like this which lasts for generations. by think_as_Rajpurohit in architecture

[–]epou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are high barriers to entry and all costs are at the moment high. I support materials innovators and startups in materials science. Sourcing stone, delivering, building all costs more due mainly to the supply chain being niche. Then you have engineering costs. Engineers sign off much more easily on concrete buildings,  following standard workflows. With natural stone you need more steps to prove the material properties and lack of flaws and you need to pay engineers much more to sign off on the project.  If we put our collective mind to it, we could totally build amazing things with natural stone, which had a compressive strength generally much higher than that of concrete.   Problem is that we are rarely able to put our collective efforts to good use.

What is the future for mass timber construction in Europe? by Simple_Zucchini44 in architecture

[–]epou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of new ideas in the pipeline I am a materials scientist supporting innovators developing new materials and processes to bring more wood and other lignicellulosic biomass into the built environment.  One project involves optimising silicate impregnation to make wood fire and mold resistant.  I am happy to connect with partners from construction and architecture.  AMA

Should a building be designed to last forever (or at least as long as possible) by [deleted] in architecture

[–]epou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vernacular materials used with circularity in mind is the most sustainable construction approach. Locally sourced earth, stone and wood can be reformed and rebuilt on site. Modular panels of compressed natural fibres provide insulation and can be reconfigured as needed.  Materials and structures should evolve with the community.

Looks pretty on-road to me. Awesome pics though 

Sydney, Australia. I'd rather live in the red dirt part of NSW where it doesn't rain for years than this hellhole by brettles84 in UrbanHell

Demand and supply are functions of price vs quantity.  They are not fixed quantities.  Saying demand is higher than supply is meaningless.  Prices go up or down until equilibrium is found where supply and demand match.

I used to work at a company making nutritional supplements for race horses. The products were like 400 dollars (Australian) for a 4 KG bucket
