- saalweachter 7y agoIt's also such a rich technical problem, that spans every sort of engineering, from machine learning to robotics to chemistry and materials engineering. And it's like, purely a technical business. If you have a company that can "buy" garbage for $X and sell your outputs for $Y > $X (+costs), you don't need to deal with politics and lobbying and building buzz.
