I love your enthusiasm so let me share some hard-won learnings with you.

In my view, entrepreneurs spend way too little time on the problem space and rather jump into the solution space very quickly (way too quickly).

The world is full of problems people accept to live with that they just don't consider important enough to solve.

That's the essence of Paul Graham's 'build what people want, not what people need' which is the founder of YC.

People will tell you whatever they think you want to hear. When interviewing them you need to understand how they solved the problem before and the actions they took to solve it. Actions speak much louder than words and you can understand how they think about solving the problem which picks up valuable contextual information as well as potential alternative solutions (competing solutions) they evaluated.

Once you understand the full context and why they do what they do, you can identify the core problem and related "jobs-to-be-done" which really helps in setting product and marketing strategy as well as positioning towards others.

You can do all this with spending very little money to be honest, you may have to put money as an incentive to get enough people to talk to.

And then last, if I were you I would find AI use-cases in mid-size companies (20-200 employees). About 80% of early-stage investor money is flowing into AI right now.

Friends is a big word, the EU has a vested interest in getting cheap gas from as many sources as possible at this point and a direct oil and gas pipeline to Europe would definitely be helpful.

Russian presence in Syria prevented this but they're gone now.

In the future we can balance Russian cheap gas with Qatari cheap gas to not be held hostage by either party.

It would be a mistake to build dependencies on China when it's possible to avoid having dependencies at all.

It would be a mistake to work with China for several reasons.

The EU needs to be in a position where it can decide what is best for Europeans and not be strong-armed or overly dependent on allies that clearly don't share the same concern.

Exactly, it's just that producing them in the EU is a lot more expensive.

On this, Trump's policy of putting tariffs on chips manufactured in Taiwan makes sense to make it worthwhile to put the fabs in Europe.

As a general principle, if you are hurt by _words_ then the problem is you and not the other person.

Those prigs exist but they're just emotionally immature and adopt a victim-cause as a means to express their frustration. If somebody is looking for a fight, if you give him a gun he's going to use it.

If you want to kill it forever, you should probably teach emotional intelligence in high school.

Hey, I'm commenting on this post to not disrupt the active H-1B thread but from what you mentioned there it seems like you could be a good fit.

Per introduction, I am an experienced entrepreneur who previously built the largest fintech lender in Spain (2B eur lended) and I am now looking for a team to build a defensetech with in the US to build artillery-launched drones.

I already have investor interest lined up. Would you be open to have a chat?

Accounting systems are super hard when you do them wrong and kind of trivial when you do it right.

There is no in-between.

Martin fowler wrote quite a bit on the subject and it's a good match for event-sourcing.

Smart ammunitions are held hostage by electronics vendors founded 100 years ago. We are working on a G-hardened System-on-chip that can survive being fired from artillery and naval guns.

It's hard, challenging and you probably have no idea where to start but that's ok. We'll figure it out.

We are particularly keen on people that have experience with continuous integration tools like renode.io or equivalent software test automation platforms (e.g. model-based design).

Co-founder level equity possible for the right person.

They're the solution to climate change also.

The center is infertile and can be seeded with fertilizer and algae that can then die off and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Cryptonomicon is one of the best reads on the planet, it's famous.

It's probably part of the initiative to create hypersonic bombers and cruise missiles as a counter to China.

It's a waste of money though as the Ukraine war showed that the Russian Kinzhal missile have limited utility and can be intercepted.

Naval drones and long-range drones are not only cheaper but also more effective.

The US has squatting laws, if you are living (uncontested) in a property for a determined period you can claim title.

There are always gaps in emerging economies and this rule is one of the more useful ones to onboard assets into the legal system.
