Yeah, I mean how does this material actually perform on a roof? Is there a measurable difference in the marginal gain of 95% to 99.6% when analyzing inside temperature of a house or energy reduction as a result?

There seems to be many factors when looking at the actual cause and effect especially when cost is introduced.


Can anyone put into perspective these methane numbers vs. the industrial beef industry in the US?


Sailing -trying to raise $30m+ to build a boat to break over 20 records.

Surfing -Finding remote point breaks and surfing northern latitudes with nobody around.


Getting any waves in BC or alaska?


I've surfed both. It's fleeting but amazing experience. The remoteness and structure of the coastline makes access the most fun (difficult part). AK gets trickier because its less long period swell and more localized systems, often times resulting in lots of wind and short swell windows.

The holy grail is undiscovered long point breaks.

Would love to give an LLM a dataset of satellite images and tell it to discover more waves containing similar attributes.


There's no surfing in BC ;)



Video interview with the engineers (ads at beginning). Interesting, it's been a difficult problem for a long time.

I think this is laughable. The excuse that "there aren't enough players" is wild, because by all metrics Counter-Strike and CS2 is one of the largest multiplayer games of all time. Currently #1 with over 1,200,000 active concurrent users on Steam by a margin of 2x over the closest game as I write this.

So if a game that is consistently in the Top 5 most played games by concurrent users (For the last 20 years) doesn't have enough to support MacOS. What does?


If their ~1% figure is accurate, 10-12,000 Mac DAUs is significant at that scale.


thats awesome, what were you going to rent the space for?


I just thought it would be cool to see how long people might last in such a room. It was not in my budget. So far at least.

Here is the Worlds Quiets Room, as of 2018:

it took me 4 rounds to realize that as well


Could you share what market or type of business you are running? I always have a difficult time wrapping my head around starting a business in a large market with clear market winners ($1B+ Rev.)


As crappy as this is... There's a hard case the CEO would have never raised a dollar if there was 15% of zombie equity on the cap table, making this guys 15% stake worthless anyway.

However, if he refused to sell his 15% stake, there's absolutely no reason why you wouldn't incorporate a separate business all together, especially if you were on the cusp of fundraising a massive round.

Summary: Bad business by the CEO, poor thinking by the stakeholder, Bad due-diligence by the VC firms. /end


how does this compare to the aa battery in the photo


it compares in physical size. also, it's a visual metaphor.
