The extreme difficulty of scaling production of new technology is not well understood. It’s 1000% to 10,000% harder than making a few prototypes. The machine that makes the machine is vastly harder than the machine itself.

Thank you Composites World for sharing details on Scott’s talk and MIT research: creating virtual factory tools for solving “the complex interactions between design, production and finance to identify cost drivers.” Great being there! #composites
CW contributor Amanda Jacob recently attended the Composites Convention in Stade Germany and the German Aerospace Center's 5th Colloquium on Production Technology. Check out the highlights: bit.ly/316FJgg @EditorAJ #composites #automation

„Viele der Schäden von #Artikel13 werden wir gar nicht klar bemerken, weil z.B. viele Geschäftsideen gar nicht erst entstehen da die Kreativität eingeschränkt wird“ #SaveYourInternet
#Artikel13 wird nicht nur Internetnutzer zu VPNs, sondern vor allem EU-Startups und SMEs vom Markt drängen. Wer hat denn Resourcen für rechenintensive #Uploadfilter? Am Ende profitieren nur US-IT-Riesen wie Facebook, deren Machtposition gefestigt wird. #SaveTheInternet

Buddha once said everyone would experience 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows in their lifetime. Start a startup to get the 10,000 sorrows out of the way first.
