In the future buildings and factories should be constantly monitored and controlled from the cloud. But most of these assets are currently controlled from on-premise control boxes/computers called BMS systems. If you start a company to integrate the data from these systems (many manufacturers, many formats, many proprietary) and pipe them to the cloud and put a unified control scheme on top, you could potentially do really well.

some issues:
- massive information asymmetry b/n company and applicants.
- companies are different. why conform to standard "job types" like "data scientist", "software engineer" etc when a potentially custom tailored description would do a much better job?
- In technical fields the "non-technical recruiter as the gate keeper" model breaks down.
- There are many issues if you really dig in.

complicated how? Is it "easier" to open physical bars with usually thin margins and massive capital investment + branding + staffing up + etc...? When all is said and done, a tech solution might be easier/better.
mst3c | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Good software for interactive exploration of quantum/particle physics?
the nanohub.org is a good place to play with model systems of quantum conduction, EK dispersions, and such if you're interested in learning about molecular transistors, for instance. Along the same lines, you can play with Quantum Espresso (http://www.quantum-espresso.org/) to do your own full blown abinitio quantum simulations.
