i would say it's underengineered. speccing expensive custom cnc-machined parts all over the place is lazy design. their engineer probably went "i could make a device that squeezes bags for like a $40 BOM, but that would take some effort and we're gonna sell this for 400 bucks so gently caress it"

alternate theory is that their engineer was clever and deliberately overbuilt it so that in a year or two he* could replace the expensive aluminum part with a cheaper polymer version, cut the production cost 50%, and get a big fat bonus






*i try to use male and female pronouns equally in my writing but in this case who am i kidding

they originally cost $700 and $1200 for the "commercial" model that was the exact same but they allowed you to order more juice, because you'd e installing it in your dumb health food restaurant

also just use they

did you watch the boltr breakdown because he goes over a lot of this. they designed it to uniformly squeeze the entire bag in one motion which requires big beefy drive/bearings/interlocks that can withstand hundreds of pounds of pressure when the same work could have been trivially accomplished by a small roller working from one end to the other and much less force. There weren't really any places to cheap out on materials while using the same design because nobody does it that way (for good reason)

yeah this is what I was talking abou and I was probably thinking of the same video. the device was designed to do far more work than the task should have needed, which is what required it to have so many expensive characteristics

which is still absurd, because the actual business model was "pay us $8 or more per lovely juice pack that makes less than a glass". not "buy the machine which we're taking a loss on anyway"

equally absurd: taking hundreds of dollars of loss on a machine that applies pressure to bagged fruit

yeah the survey seems to have a lot of variants, none of the questions I got were like that

I did get one question along the lines of "which of these shortcomings do you think is most responsible for the poor state of facebook" so I checked Other and wrote in "survey does not allow me to select all of them"

yeah, the issue is all of SV is obsessed with quantitative research, to the point they'd rather run 2-3k surveys until they figure out their research question than 1 well worded qualitative questionnaire to drive the design of a multiple choice survey, and 1 larger one to verify the findings.

when you're procedural generating a bunch of versions of surveys w/o a human looking at it all sort of weirdness happens but hey, at least you automated it!1!!!!

this is probably the result of a completely separate team being asked to provide the problematic scenarios vs. the team who wrote responses, hell the ages might even be generated by algorithm or they might have gone full machine learning and had the ages, genders and tasks varied over a bunch of values

my understanding of their love of testing is that facebook makes "we tested 31 different colors of blue to find the best one" seem sane

yes, prepulped completely unpreserved fruit shipped in packs that are open to the air

because anything else would kill the life essence of the fruit, you see


its why they initially only shipped to a few pockets of california and later to selected parts of most states, because they couldn't actually guarantee the stuff would arrive unrotted outside those areas
