@DanielleFong Only difference is that pesky silicon supply and cell stringing. Once it's all thin film we'll get pretty close.

@DanielleFong @0xBunny How's the microphone quality though? Every headset I've tried never measures up to the Apple ear pods. Hard to beat for $20

@DanielleFong @lightcellenergy GaInP?

@bennbuilds If you wanna drive down costs, torque rods and reaction wheels are probably some of the easiest to insource. It's not because they are expensive to make, it's because the market supports insane price points.

@gnievchenko The thermal transients for calcium carbonate decomposition using direct solar power are brutal for plant throughput. I'm skeptical until they've demonstrated a feasible prototype.

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot - Carl Sagan

@CalebChamberla6 I was trying to buy a german machine. No answers on US website or phone line. No answers from HQ. No answers messaging sales manager directly on LinkedIn. Found the VP of sales and had to say, "we want to buy your machine right now!" "Sorry, we at a conference. Talk in a week."

@DanielleFong @lightcellenergy @DrSteveCrane The best way to manage engineers is just nerd snipe them.

@stoke_space From now on all GSE must be painted hot pink.

@neelkunjur hell yea!

@mkadnk I think engineers are skeptical people and most I know hate marketing. That really leaves word-of-mouth and forums (twitter, reddit, discord).

[Ryan Okerson @RyanOkerson]

@Object_Zero_ @mkadnk This is really it. Engineers hate dealing with opaque pricing and slow lead times. I want to know what it costs and when I can get it - ideally tomorrow.

@SamoBurja I don't think it's a question. https://t.co/yuFXNoEQin

@sdamico @Noahpinion Why stop at one? We need a dozen American Shenzhens. Copy the High-Tech Industrial Development Zones playbook: find cheap dirt, waive the zoning, and enforce hyper-density. R&D, sub-tier suppliers, and assembly all within a 30-minute drive.

@risknc Remember that guy at hyperloop who CADed everything with primitives? Make an I beam, add three blocks.

@sdamico Hell yea! Congrats!

@CalebChamberla6 @emm0sh Really hard to overstate how important it is for the person designing the thing to do the concept, the analysis and the design. People are able to hold a lot of things in their head. Adding interface layers to more employees just adds friction and confusion.
