- Dark Factories? Of course you thought there wasn't anyone on the floor. They were hiding in the offices while management pretended to turn the lights on for you. Let me guess -- you just finished the McKinsey Quarterly deck on lights out factories, and now you think humans are
last time I was in Shenzhen I walked through a dark factory & the thing that got me was there were literally zero workers on the floor, the entire production line was running in complete darkness because when you don't have humans you don't need lights and these robots were - /r/engineering: "i've applied to ten thousand jobs and haven't heard back from one" engineering X: "i built a transducing combobulator with $20 of sheet metal parts. here are the instructions. please stop offering me jobs"
- when i was a junior engineer i thought it would be a good idea to wear a lab coat when i was out on the floor i was instagibbed by the welders. i was forever known as pointdexter. character building stuff

- i’m trying my best to summarize my dislike of 3d printing because it comes in waves. it boils down to: it’s not a serious process because of simple physics on one hand, it is a deeply useful technology for non-structural prototyping. but so are hammers and neither areWhether you know it or not, 3D printing is going to be an essential part of bringing manufacturing back to the United States. Join or Die.

- *slaps motor* you can fit so many degrees fahrenheit in this thingYasa (owned by Mercedes) recently smashed their own record for motor weight, size and horsepower. This production intent motor weighs 28lbs and produces 1,000hp!
