As somebody who came from an electrical engineering background into software, literally from the bottom of the bottom on a physical layer level.... Software VC

As somebody who came from an electrical engineering background into software, literally from the bottom of the bottom on a physical layer level....
Software VC would really benefit from a couple emag classes before trying to disrupt physics. These extraordinary claims are not supported by extraordinary evidence. I don't want to be anywhere near any kind of field that's strong enough to power my laptop. Acoustic or otherwise. No thank you please.
- notfreeyet 10y agoSoftware VC? The number of technically competent vcs is vanishingly small. There may be just one, paul graham. Almost every vc lies their asses off about having a programming background but few to none have written a line of code in a decade. 99% of vcs are closer to bankers than programmers. They're like high risk loan officers. Sometimes they get defrauded.

There are all kinds of common ways of transmitting large amount of power through space. Sure, they can be harmful but we work around the risks. As long as it deposits the energy into people slowly and as heat, then we'll feel it before it causes damage and get out of the way. Those things don't even have fancy high tech people-detecting safety features. Maybe this charger shuts down when it detects that some of its energy is being lost to an unknown place.
- warcher 10y agoMy dawg, you just named several things that require physical contact for energy transfer (ie they plug into the wall) and one wireless system that will literally kill you if you stay out in it unprotected. I don't know if you meant to prove my point, but really man, physics is cool.
