AI Thread Summary
To assess the growth and financial performance of industries like robotics or petroleum, individuals can refer to annual reports of publicly traded companies, which disclose financial information and forecasts. These reports are accessible online and include 'forward-looking statements' that provide insights into future trends, although they do not reveal detailed strategies. For broader industry analysis, various organizations attempt to project long-term trends, but these forecasts can be speculative. One such resource mentioned is Trends Research, which offers insights into industry developments.

Hey guys! I'm just wondering do you know where I can see the growth and total money made by an industry like say robotics or petroleum.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
