Comment Re:reverse the cause and effect (Score 2) 117

Hey, I'm thrilled to hear the system works for some people. I have known 5 schizophrenics in my life, including one in my own family. Two of them had a family that provided for them, and kept them on meds enough to be stable. The other three all ended up on the street and took street drugs. All of them started in halfway houses, but none of them lasted more than 2 years there, and I know one of them OD'd. To my main thesis, do you consider living in a halfway house to be above the poverty line?

Comment So... chemistry (Score 1) 87

We have a field dedicated to observing the physics of atoms in bulk. It is called chemistry. The underpinnings of chemistry in physics came together at the beginning of the 20th century, and we have developed a pretty solid understanding of it since, along with sub-disciplines that focus on specific large systems. If physicists want to get in on the action, there are probably graduate programs that would be happy to have then being their skills in math, optics, subatomic particles, etc to fields in chemistry.

They were going after the fleet market, which seems like a pretty good idea. However, if they weren't able to make a clear demo site that could show value to a large customer with $330M, they are lacking something fundamental. That is either a clear vision of their target, trying to sell to too many customers at once, or straight up fraud/embezzlement. All of those issues come down to poor management, which seems to be par for the course in startups nowadays. It's surprising that the pitch doesn't include AI plastered all over it in inappropriate places.
