Side note, in a past life I did admin work for surfcontrol which some big company used. The assigned categories for sites were of course terrible but in a way weirdly sor t of consistent. The Navy's website was "violence and weapons". Ditto for Victorinox (makers of swiss army knives and fine kitchenware). Victoria's Secret was basically a porn site as far as the canned categorization was concerned, but multiple sites I would call straight up gay porn (i.e. frontal nudity on domain's landing page) were consistently under "Lifestyle".

Could be funny at times tho

For example the aforementioned categories are I can only assume still happily letting this one remote site guy browse gay porn every morning before 8, gliding under the radar errday not making a single wave. God bless you, dude. Fight the power.

Meanwhile going to a vendor web site to choose your 20 years service ring? Oops the filter thinks that's a porn site for some reason, lol

That is the scammiest Kickstarter since the Tellspec, so look for it to get millions of dollars on Indiegogo after Kickstarter suspends them.

This one screams tech bubble & hipster, Juicero. Only $700 for a cold press juicer and $6-10 for a single drink that must be delivered by FedEx "fresh" (California only).

Raised $200$120 million funding according to NY Times.

http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/gadgets-electronics/blogs/juicero-makes-cold-pressed-juice-home-price posted:

It’s a $700 machine that on its own does absolutely nothing. You have to buy pre-packaged pouches of vegetables priced from $4 to $10 and stick them the machine. It then applies 8,000 pounds of pressure to squeeze out the juice. Of course it’s a smart device, scanning each pouch and checking to ensure that it's a fresh pouch. So if your Wi-Fi is down, no Spicy Green for you.

The vegetables are all certified organic and triple washed before they are diced and packed. Then they are shipped in compostable packages and must be used within six days or they won’t work. That’s a safety measure; keep them any longer and they might make you sick.

this is beyond trash. this is the worst of every aspect of "internet of things" that we've been crowing like cassandra about. And I say that being a former smoker that quit with, and continues to use, an e-cig with DRM.

Considering how much of the consumer market is "I paid more and therefore it is/I am better", I can see this thing taking the gently caress off

the problem of course, being that they need to ship baggies of processed veggies to customers. Anyone with any kind of logistics background at all knows what a hosed idea that is

Allllllll that smug oval office CEO needs to do is to get enough a: investor cash to live large and b: get enough distance between his name and the eventual failure of the business that he can say he "founded a startup, oh but its rude to talk about a startup's failure". Then he'll go on to the next, bigger thing.

That's all he cares about. They don't think this poo poo's going to work. They think that some liberal piece of trash Bay/Front Range millionaires that think people change their own tires because there isn't yet an app for it are gonna adjust their lesbian glasses and clasp their hands together and throw them a bunch of money.
