Amount spent by the US federal budget on science per year: NASA: $25 billion NIH: $47 billion NSF: $9 billion For welfare payments: Food stamps: $119 billion Agriculture subsidies $30 billion Medicaid: $804 billion Social Security: $845 billion Medicare: $832 billion


This is easy. Buy Chinese robots. Hire Chinese engineers. Put both in your US factory! Make machines. Profit!

We can't build new hardware in the United States without robots, we can't build robots in the United States without a better hardware supply chain. Who is working on solving this chicken and egg problem.



Old European man afraid of new entrants tries to dissuade competing builders. Sounds like someone scared of his market position.

Concluding the previous FOSS CAD convo, here is my summary… Every now and then, someone suggests that FOSS (free open-source software) CAD should be the future of CAD because: 1. CAD is expensive. 2. Vendors lock in customers with proprietary formats. 3. Customers could fix…

The podcast America needs is one that interviews consumer electronics non-executive engineering and operations people about real stories from manufacturing in China.


Fixed it.

What a silly factory! Put that baby on top of a rail line! Why waste those air rights?! Easy 10x! Just build up! Don’t they know they need ENERGY to shape atoms! Swap those virgin panels for some chad, 100% born in the USA nuclear power!

The French are absolute sleepers when it comes to CAD. CATIA: French. Dassault: French. Plasticity: French. CGAL: Mostly French. Academic computational geometry: Mostly French.


Same hour parts delivery. Let’s go!

US manufacturing has a picks and shovels problem I can *build* anything here But to get the components when I need them, it takes WAY too long I dont need next day, i dont need same day, I need same hour materials I shouldnt have to pay for extra space to store everything…

Ok, let's learn about shipbuilding in the United States. Anyone who has been paying attention for the past few years knows that there has been a lot of geopolitical maneuvering in the western Pacific ocean. In order to operate in an ocean, a military needs ships. A chart was…

neets who thought they had freedom with their gig economy life are in shambles right now, and their best option is go build submarines



“Design for manufacturing” is what we’ve been forced to call real design in a post-shop-class world. If you aren’t accounting for manufacturing limitations in your design, you’re an idiot, not a designer. If a part can’t be made, it’s a fantasy, not a design.


Finally, a law and order candidate.


Adam Mastroianni continues his undefeated streak as the best science writer of our time. Who's got the guts to go to the moon? experimental-history.com/p/whos-got-the…


Google could have had a Bell Labs. Instead, it built Google X, an unserious organization pursuing unserious ideas. Apple could have had a Bell Labs, too, but that would require a modicum of openness and sharing.


The blame squarely rests on Republicans who failed to tar, feather, and impeach this monarchist after his attempted coup. Don’t tread on me.


It seems we have collectively forgotten about January 6th.


Gotta start pumping the manufacturing technology in the other direction. How do I get ahold of the software powering all this?
