The first thing i ever saw printed on a 3d printer. It was probably 10, 15 years ago. 3d printers work by adding layer upon layer over and over. They are slow and work with only a limited number of materials. That hard plastic created in layers means my teacup is very fragile. The bottom has already broken off. Obviously weve come a long way in the past 10 years. High school the headquarters of carbon where engineers are printing out bicycle seats and football helmets and shoes and products and not just curiosity. This is a factory at work. And look at how carbon makes 3d prints right out of a puddle f. This reminds you of terminator pulling itself out of a puddle in the movie, you are not the only one. Carbon engineers thought the same thing. Joe desimone is the leader and the brains behind the new way of printing joined by my guests. I see you brought props. I have a prop. Your props are better. Let me see your props. That is a bicycle seat. From specialized. And this is not a model, this is the finished product. This is a midsole with adidas and amazing finished products out of a lightbased printer. And this is not models manufactured somewhere else but these are things that go on peoples feet and i hope to know youre wearing your adidas right now. That is right. The whole idea historically is 3d is a prototype, or 8 billion market with hardware and software and materials and products and Injection Molding is this 300 juggernaut but that is manufacturing and our Technology Allows to print 100 to a thousand times faster and finish out ho have finished materials out of the printer and when you are finishing so fast then it opens up the digital manufacturing at the scale. And it looks like magic. And to the viewer when we are showing that thing come outing of the a ball coming out and were speeding up the video a bit but it is the same idea. Youre pulling a 3d object out of a puddle of material. We think of this as a softwarecontrolled Chemical Reaction and that is chemistry and physics and software and design. We have a very detailed chemical physical model with mass and heat transport and reaction kinetics to make Amazing Products things unmoldable by traditional manufacturi manufacturing and opening up new products for customers. Are you still involved with riddell . We are. And i think dental labs . Can you explain that. Because that seems to be the largest market or opportunity it seems for what you and others do. Yeah. So we figured out a way to use light to craft things. And it is a platform that has a wide range of different resins. We have 50 different resins. And every resin has a different set of mechanical properties so we have dental resins and they range from dental models for making like invisalign and now the worlds first fda approved 3d printed debntures and it isa 14 billion market place. And is auto industry. We have the first 3d printed products out of a company in detroit. Teacup being a example are fragile and theyre trinkets. Used as prototypes but thats are strong because of the latis work inside. It is about the chemistry. And so the materials that we use have the properties to be a finished good and the Software Controlled process in geometry coupled with chemistry gives you the finished properties. Is there any way to explain how molecules glom on to the right bit because as a simple english major it seems kind of magic . Right. Sure. So light will solidify the resins partially and we use oxygen and light in combination and that is the big breakthrough published in science and tech talk. What happens is were pulling a product out of a puddle and the idea was to for terminator, could the source of the mass of the part be derived from the puddle underneath and the idea was if you bring a platform together and pull the part out, oxygen keeps it in a liquid state and light triggered it to solidify so we have a river of resin under the part as we pull it out and that is how we do what we do. And youve created a lens. Like a contact lens which is permiable and that is the true secret of your manufacturing, right . It is a breakthrough material science to allow light and oxygen come through a window. Is this something you are going to license out . It seems like this is a revolution in manufacturing, therefore all kinds of applications in all kinds of factories are possible . It is a platform. And weve got customers that range from foam replacement, from Running Shoes to bike seats to a whole host of different applications like riddell helmets. We have rigid plastic for automotive applications and material for surgical application and dental materials, you name it. Do you have licensing or do you have a sales model or revenue . The reason i ask is this. I know you raised a lot of money, like 680 million and in the industry at least 650 million was invested this year and if you look at publicly traded companies or 3d solutions theyre down significantly so im trying to figure out among the money you raised versus public companies, what you do to differentiate you from the others. Great question. So it is this idea of can we take 3d printing from a prototype and the tam in proeto typing and the market now is 8 billion and injection is 300 juggernaut and so the idea is if you have a technology that opens up, the way most products are made by molding and capping. This was invented 7,000 years ago. You have a cast and you pour material in and it cools and that is the way Injection Molding is doing. Were powering Autonomous VehicleCompanies Making electrical connectors. Were making designs that are unmoldable and 90 of the warranty in autos are failure of the connectors so having designed unmoldable opens up like the running shoe and the bike seat. What is the next logical step for you . What would you then make next . Once you mastered all of the other things . I think the key is our platform is the worlds first subscription ever for Manufacturing Software and that is a data centric. Every part has a part on it and aws and it has a life and a birth certificate and which printer and data file and we have postmarket opportunities for people to recycle products but having a data centric world opens up our warehouse in the cloud. Jose desimone and amazing manufacturing equipment and we appreciate you being with us this morning. Coming up on press here, well go inside of the world of uber with the author of super pucks when press here continues. My parents never taught me anything about managing money. The amount of Student Loan Debt i have, im embarrassed to even say. We just decided we didnt want debt any longer. I didnt realize how easy investing could be. Im Picking Companies that i believe in. I think sofi money is amazing. Thank you sofi. Sofi thank you, we love you. Welcome back to press here, that is a clip from the showtime series billions which ive been watching for seven years. If you havent seen it, check it out. If you have seen it and you want more, you may have heard the good news. The same guys who did billions will do a show about the uber founder. They dont need to invent drama or intrigue or dream up a bad guy because travis took care of that for them. The new series is based on the book super pumped, the battle for uber written by mike isaac. The times review said isaac depicted kalanick as an evil brogenius with ride sharing. And joining us, and jose ferm oso who writes for the guardian. And you start with two books and somehow they flow together, dont they . I think so. I tried to capture what this guy essentially stands for and i think it is a mixture of these grand ideas of what a startup founder is supposed to be mixed with maybe a can of axe body spray. And you have to introduce everyone in Silicon Valley still remembers and working on other stuff well remembers his time at u uber to the average person not familiar with the back story you have to establish who he is and why he created so much controversy. Travis had done two different startups before and probably in his later 30s by the time uber came around. And i think the point i wanted to get to in the very beginning is hes done two startups and had been betrayed by those that backed him initially and that went to the mentality, this is my company and no one could take it away from me and ill secure it for the long haul and initially the vc, the venture capitalized were okay until things started going wrong later and it was hart to rest that control from him. What is the response from the company. The ceo dara tweeted ill have a good time proving this wrong. There is a new ceo. Yes. So what is the response . It has been interesting. There is a number of employees who dont like the book just because probably because i didnt depict them in the best light and i expected that and there are people who are surprised that they thought i was fairer than they thought i would be. Rather than completely villianize people i wanted to get behind uber was willing to push the boundaries of what was legal and in some cases go over the line a lot of the time or get to this culture of crazy wolf of wall street type thing internally. And it feels good to at least hear people say there is a lot of stuff that is ugly and hard to read but it is not like you got it wrong. You got it right. So you mentioned that the vcs or the biggest supporters from the beginning until it started going the wrong way. So to me even in the narrative of the book it felt like they allowed a lot of the bad things to happen until it affected the bottom line. Yeah. The question is now have they learned anything . When it comes to helping future founders, in terms of the culture, in terms of how much leeway they provide with funding. Because they gave a ton of money to kalaminick for a long time. I looked to see if anyone earned anything and after the ceo complete control over the company, they had soft bank that poured billion dollars into this company and the valuation is at 48 billion and now it is a sixth of that at 7 00 billion dollars or 8 billion. Im trying to imagine if the valley learned anything from the spectacular failures and right now were in the period of retrenching where the founder of soft bank is saying we need to focus on profitability and not create these toxic cultures internally and some of the posturing is trying to make up for years of awful losses. Could i make the argument though that uber would never have been successful if it followed the rules. It should follow the rules. Im glad it didnt. Because now we have uber and lift you couldnt have made uber unless you did what they told you not to do. And the penchant for being a startup founder and how do you beat incumbent companies that have been around forever without getting thrown in jail or getting the department of justice investigating you. And to be a founder and to create a great company, you probably have to have that willingness to i think so. I think uber would not be here if it hadnt broken the rules. That is right. But that said, there was a lot going on at uber that was wrong. Beyond just breaking a few taxi cab rules. Right, right, right. And derek kemp came up with uber not travis. Could a nice guy, because he is a nice guy, could he have made uber into what it was or did you need a bad guy to make ube near wh to make uber what it was . That is probably travis super power. He didnt care that he came off like a jerk or that he was a jerk because he felt that that was what was necessary. Look, the taxi industry became the sympathetic character in a lot of this. No one likes taxis. How do you make them the good guy. But taxis are very strongly before uber were very strongly entrenched, very talk about unions. I would say hard to remove or whatever. And donated to mayors exactly. Lobbied. In new york bill de blasio is directly connected to the taxi unions or whatever. So one could argue probably in the right way that you needed someone very strongheaded to pursue that and travis seemed to be that guy. It is hard to imagine a nice version of uber. It is kind of hard. Lyft would come in behind them but they needed a jerk to push forward. You mentioned the reaction to your book and maybe surprising reaction. What is the current outcome now of looking forward as uber moves forward with a new ceo, how are the people feeling there internally . Because you mentioned in the book that a lot of the employees were even afraid to go to cocktail parties because you would just mention uber and they would be afraid to talk about it because of the culture expectation was so bad. I think there are a few things. One, despite the toxicity around uber brand or the sort of even if people dont exactly know why that uber is bad or whatever, they have some sort of latent idea of it. People still love using the product, right . I will get off a plane somewhere and immediately just open the thing and want to get somewhere really quickly, it is convenient than a taxi and on one hand it is being used by people even though they had a period of losses and losing customers. On the other hand, theyre burning billions of dollars every quarter and have earning coming up next week and well find out what the losses are and they dont see profitability in the near term. So the new ceo dara khosroshockey is trying to stop the money burning Initiative Like uber eats and all sort of things theyre comparementing with. But the street is when can you get profitable and be a profitable business and it is unclear to me. Mike, as we come full circle, we started with the tv show and i want to end with the tv show. Do you know anything about it . People have brought billions and it is great. But do you have any creative input on it . Im fortunate that we signed brian and david. I get to be executive or coexecutive producer so im super excited about. Theyre going to finish writing the next season and then well start working on it and i think im going to try to get the rock to play me which is true to life. I think theyre just the right guys to do it because it is just a mixture of cutthroat business and tech and that is the story now. Wait until you talk to our guys behind the scene and find out what a coexecutive producer they could tell me ill sit on the beach and do nothing. That is the job. Mike isaacs book is super pumped. And join us to talk about facebook coming up when press here comes back. Welcome back to press here. In the last segment we talked about one of Silicon Valley ultimate bad guys travis climic and now we might have been his replacement. Mark zuckerberg has been kind to women, couldnt be said the same with travis and he gives Million Dollars to fight disease and help children. How can this guy be a bad guy . Maybe mark is the badfy for a new era. We continue our talk with our reporters from the New York Times and cnbc and the guardian. And facebook reported the profits and they were solid and mark spent time talking about the political ad issue than the profit and said it is a tough year. Explain what is going on with twitter and facebook in this political ad issue. So basically what happened was twitter Ceo Jack Dorsey announced this week that hes banning political ads globally. And this was a big stance that he made as social networks take advertising money. And could create big problems. Right. And so this announcement came before facebook was announcing its earnings for the and not accidental. One of the tweets he made was a face and said we dont do things that are hypocritical. So it is very a slight toward Ceo Mark Zuckerberg who is later jumping on a call about an hour later for the news call. And jose, we dont see tech executives take each other on like that. Benioff maybe over homelessness to some degree but some industries are incredibly, the competitors that go at each other and we dont do that in Silicon Valley. No. This is incredibly unusual. And benioff against dorsey when it came to homelessness but this is something that i feel like dorsey is really getting ahead of the 2020 election. This is going to be a major issue over the next four to five months in terms of how ads are seen by people. Jennifer and i were talking before the show, youtube is going to be a big part of this. We hear that there is a lot of ads. We know there are manipulation possibly by certain ads so well see what happens now when it comes to the google aspect of things. And my guys at the New York Times i see you nodding. Oh, man, the Facebook Facebook is the one that is taking this all head on just because i think theyre the one ma most people sort of relate to, they have the biggest footprint and everyone is using one of think properties and facebook realized that twitter and google are hiding behind them in this war so they have having to take a stance. At the same time yesterday on the earning call or the other day Mark Zuckerberg essentially said we are doubling down on what were doing. Were not going to get rid of political ads. We think their part of speech and think they are something that people should be able to and in his georgetown speech you could almost see him walking you through it, he wrote it ahead of time, but walking you through why he was going to do what he was going to do but almost immediately he goes to congress a few days after that and alexandria ocasiocortez who was a bartender and now apparently the best prosecutor on planet earth, asked him these really tough questions where he immediately already going, well, wait, maybe i dont you know. And theyve had to adjust already. My understanding is he spends his time thinking about product and not as much on policy and that is starting to hurt them now because they have to think through policies happening in realtime. They never thought about when someone could call themselves a political candidate and start running intentionally fake ads. Some guy would run for governor of california and because facebook said were not going to let groups run demonstrably fake ad but let politicians run demonstrably fake ads and this guy said fine ill run for governor and they said no. I would love to know what you think, but i think they are in viting some form of regulation just so they dont have to be the one choosing what should or shouldnt be allowed and mark has said that multiple times. We shouldnt be the arbiters of free speech which makes sense because then the blame goes to them. And theyre a private company so that is something when people discuss, they discuss twist last year in terms of free speech, still a private company, should a private company be thinking about free speech. This is potentially in the right. But the footprint of where everybody is on facebook and everybody is going to interact with them. They keep hinging the argument on the fact it is a small part of the business but the Political Capital is in valuable for a company like that. So it is just and to your original plan, i think twitter is going to have trouble with saying no political ads. And now theyre doing the same thing facebook is. Yeah, it will see where they end up having to make keep making rules. And we get closer to the president ial election keep all of us employed which is nice. I love to go to commercial and it is so interesting to hear from the New York Times from the guardian from cnbc in one spot and i think that is great. Appreciate you being here. Well be back in just a moment. My parents never taught me anything about managing money. The amount of Student Loan Debt i have, im embarrassed to even say. We just decided we didnt want debt any longer. I didnt realize how easy investing could be. Im Picking Companies that i believe in. I think sofi money is amazing. Thank you sofi. Sofi thank you, we love you. That is our show for this week and a remember press here is available on podcast and also with sand hill road. I invite you to subscribe and listen on the way to work and i just completed an interview and it was fascinating. We publish one por week and look for that interview in the next few weeks. Thank you to my guest and thank you for making us part of your sunday morning. Decision 2019 well get you ready before you head to the polls for the tuesday special election. And watching washington ahead of impeachment proceedings and analysis on the sunday morning talk shows. That is monday morning 4 30 to 7 00. Comunidad del valle. Im Damian Trujillo and today, veterans day, well have two veterans of the armed forces here on your comunidad del valle. Damian we begin today with the monthly visit of the consulate of mexico here in san jose. With me is the consul general of mexico and san jose; Alejandra Bologna is my guest on comunidad del valle. Welcome to the show. Welcome back. Alejandra bologna thank you so much for being here. Its a pleasure to me. Damian how has it been so far . You know, its been a few weeks, a few months maybe, that youve been here. How has it been for you so far . Alejandra yes, well, it has been four months. Very intensive. I think that we have a lot of things to do
