I wish there were more companies in the US that can look at problem and solve it to a great deal of technical complexity. It seems like we’re too focused on large and shiny objects.
- lnsru 3y agoRobotics is expensive. One needs a team of software developer, electronics engineer and mechanical engineer to develop something. 3 people over 3 years with expensive hardware and couple millions $ for MVP needed. How many google ads for an app could one buy for this sum?

Many claim projects like CERN is a waste of money but this is where many new ideas and tech comes from as a side effect of trying to solve problems that arise while trying to build a bigger and more powerful accelerator.

Basically they transfer state/grant money into personal pockets via paid work hours. Though I don’t know how this works in Switzerland. Another day I saw a long list of CERN technologies that I can license from them and they were not for free.
