“Digital manufacturing may mean the introduction of new technology into an existing firm’s operations. It may also mean the invention of new business models and production modes that are made viable solely because of advanced technology.”mfg.mit.edu

The extreme difficulty of scaling production of new technology is not well understood. It’s 1000% to 10,000% harder than making a few prototypes. The machine that makes the machine is vastly harder than the machine itself.

@tb4liberty @kropotkinite @Eastremontave @jess_bbg @accidental_left @elonmusk Capitalism needs free markets, competition to stay effective, while markets tends to monopolize themselves. Take the German health insurance industry: government ensures businesses keep competing with each other, through transparent pricing.

Das Kapital in a nutshell

New German radio ad by Opel is literally a woman chatting and a guy cutting her off. Was that really necessary?

@KateClancy What’s your top 10 list? What can you tell busy college students, what are the most important things to avoid (80:20 rule)?

Thank you Composites World for sharing details on Scott’s talk and MIT research: creating virtual factory tools for solving “the complex interactions between design, production and finance to identify cost drivers.” Great being there! #composites

„Viele der Schäden von #Artikel13 werden wir gar nicht klar bemerken, weil z.B. viele Geschäftsideen gar nicht erst entstehen da die Kreativität eingeschränkt wird“ #SaveYourInternet

#Artikel13 wird nicht nur Internetnutzer zu VPNs, sondern vor allem EU-Startups und SMEs vom Markt drängen. Wer hat denn Resourcen für rechenintensive #Uploadfilter? Am Ende profitieren nur US-IT-Riesen wie Facebook, deren Machtposition gefestigt wird. #SaveTheInternet

Our live webinar on "Engaging students in STEM with hands-on technology" begins in 1 hour! MIT Postdoc @lnietner will illustrate how hands-on technology fuels student engagement. Join live at 10 am below. We'll be joined by Dr. @callaurrea zoom.us/j/499123230 @stemgemTech

We are lifting the curtain about our journey and impact in education. Join us next Friday: jwel.mit.edu/news/upcoming-…

I love every bit of this. Absolutely amazing! Thank you @mitmeche !

Truth.

Learning about tailoring #STEM for girls with social impact using #hackable devices from @lnietner @CISHK @C_Doleman #steam #MITJWELWeek

Sharing my work on democratization of tech at #MITJWELWeek. “Our work doesn’t just empower students to code, but to innovate and take an active role in shaping the path and impact of technology.” @stemgemTech

@LReynoldsMITIPC taking on „Robots can’t take your job if you’re already retired.“ - MIT ‘Work of the Future’ initiative will move beyond technological determinism, seeking to actively shape innovation with the human in the loop. Yes! #MITJWELWeek

„The goal of our work is not just to impact our economy, but change the fabric of our society.“ @eklopfer finds inspiring and powerful words reflecting on the bigger impact of J-WEL projects at #MITJWELWeek

“To supply talent for tomorrow’s networked economy, we need to blend k-12, higher ed, and workplace learning - inspired by Germany and Switzerland.“ Sanjay Sarma kicking off #MITJWELWeek

@zotero Yes!!

Zotero’s powerful word processor integration is now available in Google Docs zotero.org/blog/google-do…

Loved sharing some of what I've learned as an entrepreneur at @swissnexBoston! Great discussion. Loved connecting.

@Fox0x01 @Yezika_Ink @Blackhoodie_RE Interestingly, there were tons of women engineers there today. I'd say it was the salad and makeup-booth that made it awkward.

@Yezika_Ink For sure. It’s almost like I forgot how to behave around women. It’s entirely different when I’m in a room full of female engineers though. @Blackhoodie_RE workshops are great for meeting women you can relate to and who’re as enthusiastic about security.

Weirdly, I find myself much more uncomfortable being in a room full of women than at a tech conference full of men. I miss my InfoSec bros.
