It's five to eight dollars for a pouch, and each one gives you exactly one eight ounce glass of juice. If you want to, you can open the bag afterwards and eat the pulp. You can only use the bags once, and you can only use Juicero brand bags, and you can only use them before the QR code expires, and you can only use them if you're hooked up to the wi-fi.

Yea the founder of this company looks exactly like the type of person who founded this company. Well in 35 years (if humanity is around) someone is going to find a whole ton of these buried in a land fill. E: We are just simple folksy people up here then. Was confused when I went to the states and saw ads being played on the gas pumps.

I think it was developed originally to track inventory for auto manufacturers in Japan, and then like fifteen years later American marketers latched onto it as the next big thing ... which lasted all of about a year. I had a boss who insisted I put a QR code on every goddamn ad I designed and there were days I wanted to hit him with a brick and dump him in the lake.

James Woods Fan posted:Absolutely terrible. And that gizmo raised $120 million in VC funding (probably because everyone's got a huge boner for the subscription model after companies like Dollar Shave Club hit it big). But that's how Silicon Valley is going right now. VC people continue to invest in Uber despite it being an unbelievably terrible company run by unbelievably terrible people that loses unbelievable amounts of money every year, because "disruption" is the current word of the day. Everyone wants to be on the ground floor of the next Google or Facebook, or get in on a cheap stock before it has a resurgence (think Apple), and everyone has a huge boner for shaking industries up because of guys like Elon Musk -- even though Tesla's losing (not spending, losing) more than $100 million a month and they're facing significant delivery issues with the Model 3.

What's dumb is that a "juice Keurig" isn't a bad idea. If I were to design one, it would simply use freeze-dried fruit and veggies, use water to rehydrate, then puree that into a fresh juice. Still not as practical as just picking up a bottle from your local Whole Foods or Sprouts. Priest pleads guilty to stealing 500K for casinos and concerts Down with this sort of thing

I mean I'm all for funding non-profit public services but I can't see how they are expecting to get money out of this. Netflix took some heavy losses in 2015 and 2016 as it ramped up its international presence (but it had more than enough cash on hand to deal with that). This is why the company is now investing so heavily in its original programming instead of licensing content. But they do need a good year because they've burnt through more than a billion dollars over the past year. Q4 2016 was excellent for them, in part because of the Gilmore Girls revival (to which they're attributing several million new subscriptions).

There was a whole article on the Juicero approaching it from an engineering perspective, saying that it's really overly-engineered with tons of machined parts that drive up the cost, partly because it works by applying uniform pressure to a large surface area (the packs are friggin' huge). So naturally it costs too goddamn much- anyone who wants to just drink juice will buy juice, and anyone really into the "fresh cold press" thing will just buy an actual juicer (and even the premium models of THOSE cost about a hundred bucks less, just looking at Amazon.) A Kuerig machine is about $100. That's enough for it to be like a wedding gift or a nice thing you get yourself when you just got a raise at work or something. (I don't have one myself, and they're hella wasteful, but never mind that.) It's kinda convenient if you want just one cup of coffee, so long as you're not hung up on it being particularly good coffee. It's like a lot of the Kickstarter Nonstarters that Retsupurae does.

Coffee And Pie posted:Do reusable pods no longer work? From what I've been told, the DRM is relatively easy to circumvent (although they did change the cup shape), but the other issue with the 2.0 machines is that they started making the coffee a lot more watery in exchange for reducing the amount of grounds in each cup.

My impression at Sundance this year was that Netflix and Amazon were basically on spending sprees. It will be interesting to see how that pans out because they are spending SO MUCH money and like most of the stuff that goes up immediately gets ignored so even with the handful of successes, they still can't be even close to breaking even.

I'm gonna patiently wait for the whole season to air before going forward with American Gods. Hell, it's likely I'm gonna do that with the rest of the season of Better Call Saul (I've still only watched the season premiere). Not having these things taunting me on my DVR makes it easier to ignore until they're aired.

Better Call Saul won't go up on Netflix until a week or so before the fourth season airs next year, so you might be waiting a while... Edit: Unless AMC does streaming? I haven't had cable in years, I forget nowadays.

You maybe can't make quite as big a batch as you could in a mason jar, but not having to worry about the filter bag is awesome. Just throw it in the French press, pop it in the fridge overnight, and in the morning press down the plunger.
