@CoopTory @JustLetMeFail Nothing would get more excited to leave the most exciting, high growth and dynamic companies in the world than working for the Canadian government!

You people are so delusional it’d be funny if it weren’t so sad

[AJ @wasianprime]

@CoopTory LMAOOOO this is incredible levels of delusion. These people make more than a million Canadian dollars a year in base salary, and tens of millions in stock. Why the fuck would they move to Canada to make less than a tenth of that?

@Endeavourov1 @KenKirtland17 Fair. I guess I’m assuming people are trying to be far more productive with their criticism than they really are.

My thinking is that you should criticize the incentives that drive the outcomes, not the outcomes themselves (which can vary as shown by SLS)

[AJ @wasianprime]

@Endeavourov1 @KenKirtland17 You absolutely should complain because it’s largely the same contract structures and contractors between DOD and NASA

@risknc The absolute undisputed GOAT of thermal engineering textbooks. One of the only physical textbooks I ever bought, no regrets

[AJ @wasianprime]

@Robotbeat Can you circumvent this by just using solid state transformers formers instead? Along the lines of a Heron Link?

[AJ @wasianprime]

I keep seeing this but can anyone give an actual reason as to why any rational person would do this?

As a builder the only thing I care about is building the thing I want to make. Why would I move somewhere where access to capital and regulation make it much harder?

[Aidan Gomez @aidangomez]

Canada needs its Canadians. You should come home and help build this country.

Now that I’ve put this out into the world, I really gotta finish that heat exchanger project…

SCS is waiting for me 🫡

[AJ @wasianprime]

Hello @jimbelosic @sendcutsend can you guys plz stock <1mm thick copper? I wanna make some heat exchangers and don’t want to miss out on my sour fruity twist. Thank you!

[AJ @wasianprime]

@jimbelosic @sendcutsend I got this 0.5mm stock off Amazon and it’s pretty sturdy, idk how rigid it needs to be to cut tho

[AJ @wasianprime]

Hello @jimbelosic @sendcutsend can you guys plz stock <1mm thick copper? I wanna make some heat exchangers and don’t want to miss out on my sour fruity twist. Thank you!

[AJ @wasianprime]

@jimbelosic @sendcutsend That would work! I see some of your competitors also offer all the way down to 0.5mm. Unsure if that is practical

[AJ @wasianprime]

@Robotbeat @jimbelosic @sendcutsend Sorry Mr robotbeat, I shoulda asked for that first lol

[AJ @wasianprime]

@jrodgers Urban, anglophonic Canada has no identity. It’s truly the post-national state that Trudeau wanted. Can’t say I’m surprised ambitious young people don’t want to stay when they have no cultural or historical ties to Canada.

[AJ @wasianprime]

@planetmaxwell You guys need more merch, I’ve already bought all the moon shirts smh

[AJ @wasianprime]

Let us get just one more ‘top tier researcher’. One more researcher and it’ll generate so much value. Don’t ask where the researcher will go to commercialize their research. Just one more. Just a treat researcher. More researchers will fix the whole economy. Please one more.

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

AI researchers, Ivy League professors, and at least one winner of the MacArthur “genius” grant will move to Canada from the U.S. with funds from the federal government’s research chair program. https://t.co/WspxuYVbnw

@Cycle_Point @HassanRIsmail Believe it or not, there are taxes that are not income tax

@premmpinto What have you been using it for? All the use cases I’ve seen are non-engineering (email management and stuff). I got some free grok bot credits but idk what to use them on
