    Ill give that a watch, thanks.

    I read the bit about the rock he presented, but it doesnt make it clear whether that was a rock that was naturally mineralised or something that they had produced.

    The cult of personality vibe was mostly from the “millenial” part of the headline, and the Bill Gates association, it just rubbed me the wrong way i guess.

    Hopefully I am wrong, and this pans out, we definitely need this kind of tech to work.

      You aren’t wrong about the cult of personality thing here. Why we need to know anything about the founder and his association with Bill Gates is beyond me. Talk about the process and the business case, but if I never hear the name of another business “guru”, I’ll be happy.
