  @DreadCentral You should have seen the Amazon guy who showed up a couple days ago... buzzed me six times for a package for someone else, and I went down later, and he still hadn't figured out how to put the package inside the door.

  Write it down. A clear one-pager beats a confident voice. Amazon built its whole meeting culture on this. Over-share the why. Context is the one authority you can give away for free. Netflix calls it "context, not control."

  I am going to start only engaging for short periods once per week on twitter, posting updates more like a newsletter for the BQF project. When I look at th 14,200 tweets I have supposedly made, only a very small fraction of that actually led to a useful outcome, and I need to run a tighter ship here with my time. Regarding the recent drama, I have not read it, I will not, I am not interested, I said a reasonable thing and I'm leaving it there. It's pretty clear the discussion is not going to go anywhere. I have a lot of real, difficult things to do and don't have time. I have not that much animosity towards Nathalie, I tried to work with her, it wasn't working out so that's the end of that. She can say what she wants, that's fine with me and it is up to the listeners to decide how much they want to listen, but I am not interested, and that's fair enough. This week's update is that the interim output grille solution is done. That was the last piece before I can start with getting the details all sorted out for the supply of the parts/their production. Then I need to make good instructions, and I can start selling kits. It's nylon black fish net, 10 mm holes, clamped down. It reduces airflow by about 2.3%, so not too bad. In an unexpected turn, I boosted the airflow by about 8% further with no impact on noise, by trimming the tips of the secondary. It's difficult to print this geometry which is why I did not try it before. Most of the parts are already sorted out, I got some new boards already, and 15 motors are on the way. Just gotta get the power supplies and shipping boxes sorted out and I'm just a few large format prints and some packing away from a few kits. I got a promising quote for the boxes, and am close for the power supplies. In the meantime I can just use good quality parts off Amazon, the boxes are a little harder. I am pivoting to kits rather than fully assembled fans. I was hesitant to do this at first because I wanted more progress faster, mostly. Assembled units are in general better for large scale roll out. However it's become clear this is going to take longer than that. By focussing on the kits first, I can focus on getting the parts supply, transport, duty/taxes etc all worked out, which is the next stage in general. The constraints regarding cosmetics etc. are less severe for kits, and it fits in with the goal of tremendous performance to cost ratio, and the diy nature of CR boxes. It also takes less of my labor per fan that gets out there, which is a bottleneck, and less space in the premises etc. Fundamentally, it is a form of collaboration with others. Teamwork makes the dream work. For now, everything will be printed, and production rate should be about 1 kit per 2.5 days. Hopefully soon I can get the largest part molded, production can rise to about 2 kits per day, a 5x increase, again bottlenecked by the large printer. With the second largest part also molded, and a few extra small printers, it goes to about 10 per day. Further expansion would probably require moving to a new premises and hiring someone to help. The break even per unit cost, including labor at a living wage, will be hard to meet while also providing spectacular value, mostly because of shipping and taxes. For instance, the motors are $11.8 USD, but after duty and shipping they come to about $53 USD, each. With a suitable sea courier service that's expected to go down to more like $20 USD, but it's still nearly twice the cost of the actual parts. Shipping would be about $4-5 of that. Fundamentally, making ends meet is sort of not a problem because if you compare the capacity and noise of the resulting air purifier (which I am trending towards dubbing an EQ-CR box, for Extra Quiet, preferrably with the 6x filter set (diagonal V in the middle)), it would cost you a few thousand dollars to get it any other way. If the fan was $1000 it would still make plenty of rational economic sense, but we want more progress than that even still. So I don't think things are on thin ice. However, getting the best result possible, which matches the dream to some degree of something more like $140 usd, is not so easy. Unfortunately production with a collaborator in China does not solve many of these challenges, and it also adds new ones. So for now, that's on the back burner again. Producing kits in small scale may seem thinking too small, but it beats just waiting. It does help get the ball rolling/pave the road.

  A hedge fund wanted to read my DaVita research. It is 25 page deep dive in to the business, industry, unit economics, competitor analysis. The whole 9 yards. Within an hour, I got an email back. “Where is the price target?” I told them I have no price target. They didn’t understand. “Do you have a DCF?” I said no. I don’t do DCF. The stock trades 10 times free cash flow and will grow 5% for a long time from organic growth and buybacks. They didn’t quite get it. “We always ask our analysts to give a price target” I am not trained as an analyst. I think like a management consultant. The meat on the bone is not the final DCF but the business. Putting a few assumptions into a model and getting a target out is easy. The hard part is understanding what drives the business. Even Buffett says that. “Even when you buy 1 share, think like you’re buying the entire business”. No business owner thinks of a price target. But this is advantage for investors like us. The entire industry is caught up with metrics that is short term. A price target implies a sale when that target is hit. But what if the business compounds its intrinsic value. Would it have been possible to constantly update the price target of Amazon from $5 bucks in 1999 to now? The language of hedge funds is hard to get out of. It frames the thinking in a way that is counter to long term investing. It is increasingly less about the business and everyone is attacking the problem as an analyst would do. Instead attack it as a business owner. It’s such an easier edge. A great way to beat Bobby Fischer is to play any game but chess.

  @SmartassYinzer There are 56 at the Walmart in my town. And this town is relatively "safe" (had to say that because of some of the comments), compared to neighboring town where it rains bullets daily, but there's only 8 pick up spots Save the trouble, just shop elsewhere. Walmart = Amazon = evil

  @AmazonHelp Yet again your chat closed an active chat, which means I have to reexplain myself yet again... Also, thanks for your 1% "compensation" for YOUR error, and ill-advise on an over $2000 order...

  @davidallenwest Yes America gets the blame much of the time but it’s actually late stage Capitalism which is the real issue. Grocery stores, food processing companies getting rich while farmers struggle. Most money flows to Amazon, Apple, telecommunications company, banking etc
