I have a motor control IC. I look for robot manufacturers and read their company websites for contact info. I call or email them to schedule a presentation. Some say OK. Some don’t . This is just basic cold calls. Maybe someone can be so go

I believe there was a study on how people with different age perceive passing of time differently. I guess, for those people, 30-40 years ago might seem like yesterday. Another wager is that you might be younger than those people.

It is interesting to see that a successful startup is defined as being the top 1% of employment growth in its first 5 years. I wonder if Theranos would've also been included in this definition. In some culture, selling your own company

The author took a simple price-to-income ratio and gave it a nice spin. Search for property price index. The US housing prices shows pretty good affordability compared to where I live now.
