So, I can now buy literally the best general-purpose packet presser ON THE PLANET that will last forever, for less than $200? Holy shit yes. It will last forever and all these insane high quality parts can be repurposed. My grandchildren will be pressing their shit on Mars with this thing.

>>61383080
tbqh they might a well give it away for free, they'll make the money back on juice subscriptions

>>61383107
The machine that crushed bags of vegetable stuff into a glass. And you could only use the company's specific packs, which cost 5-7 dollars each. And the press itself cost like 800 originally, down to 400 and now down to 200. And it was always WI-Fi connected or it wouldn't work. And you could just squeeze the packs by hand and get the same result.

>>61383139
i imagine the logistics of outsourcing the manufacturing to China, ditching Wi-Fi / Bag DRM shit and selling the machine for dirt cheap would be 100x better than trying to prey off weird rich upper class white people

Gambling returns have expected value that can be calculated. Venture funding has no upper limit on returns, the whole point is to throw money around(smartly) and hope something becomes gigantic. With this strategy, failures like juicero become inevitable but they are supposed to be outweighed by one gigantic success.

They are this fucking desperate to get people in because it is the only way they make money off the shit. They must make like 600% profit off each juice packet.

>>61385886

No investors want to lose something. Crowdfunding backers are just the same, they are investors too. They don't want to lose out and neither do corporate investors.

For the corporate investors, they want to gain reputation out of it and they're not going to gain reputation out of backing a failed product.

Nespressos and Kueregs aren't over-engineered hunks of junk that need to stay on a Wi-Fi network though. Plus you can get dummy cups to brew whatever with them.

Wait a second, help me understand.
So they...
they sell a machine.
a machine that compresses stuff.
like, there are a ton of cheap machines that can compress stuff
but this one is special
and also they sell BAGS OF FRUIT LEFTOVERS from some industrial juice factory
and they attach some ID to these fucking bags
and the fucking machine must connects to THE INTERNET to check that the ID is good,
else you get DRM'd and the machine becomes a brick
is that all?
a machine with an engine to compress stuff.
and a plastic bag with fruit inside.
for $200.

No this can't be true.

>>61393191
Yes, but it WAS $800.
The free market is working as intended.

>>61393191
It used to be even more than $200 even. There are enough idiots buying these things so that the company hasn't gone under yet, which is sad.

>fulfill our mission

What kind of fucking god-given mission do they think they have? What's with the messiah complex? Its a fucking juice machine, what 'mission'? Money laundering?

>>61393175
Also coffee machines make sense because you have to boil the water, press it through the cup, control the dosage for espresso/american/whatever variant. This juice one is just a mechanical hand that squeezes a bag.

>>61389307

For real? Sounds like the verification cans all over again.

>>61393224
You don't get what they're trying to do, huh. They're trying to make you so dependent on their food supplies that you're helpless and do anything they say. Then when they decide you got to go: mass starvation. No more mailed packets for your meme machine and all the packets you have are now expired. Communism failed again. Communism has never been tried btw.

>>61393219
>There are enough idiots buying these things so that the company hasn't gone under yet, which is sad.
Wrong. There was enough money from investors that the company hasn't gone under yet. There aren't enough idiots buying these things which is why they have cut the prices of the machine.
The machine is a one off loss for them. They lose money on it, but the juice packets you NEED TO USE with it (unless you mod it) are probably sold at 500-600% profit, if they can lock you in for a year they likely recover the cost of the machine.

$5-7 per bag with packs of 5 from $31 (per week).

If we assume that they make $25 profit from a $31 pack per week, and we assume that the Juicero costs $2000 to make, then it takes 72 weeks to make back the $1800 loss on the machine.

Oh wow, you're totally right! Yep, I can totally see how this is worth a couple hundred fucking dollars (plus a $2000 a year subscription) and worth dealing with DRM! Now I don't have to spend ~10 minutes cleaning my juicer! Thank you silicon valley!

Was it in Ubik that the protaganist had to ask Chip for a few coins to pay the coffee machine and door to his apartment? PKD was ahead of his time

>>61399329
From a pitch standpoint, the machine is essential for the whole thing to work. You're selling the machine, the juice packs, the distribution service for said juice packs, and the end user needs all three to get their half cup of juice. So the end user is paying for the juicer, and in order to use the juicer they need to buy your juice bags which are useless at the end of the week.
It's like an auto dealership selling the cars, the gas, and the cars are made so they burn a full a tank by the end of the week.

This isn't /v/ but subscription games are usually higher quality and better value for money compared to freemium.

>>61394856
I never bought the thing, but i am somewhat justifying the use for robot maids

>>61399433
To a tech guy who makes 100k+, I guess the fact that you don't have to clean, that it looks nice and that the nutrition is good would be enough.

The people living there make so much money anyways.

>>61393252
Subtract which integer from the QR code? Does the network stack chip also include a way to guess the current timestamp from thin air without connecting to a NTP server? Also, could it guess from the contents of the QR code if it's registered in the Juicero database and not previously used?

>>61399433
It actually makes a kind of sense in places like an office or company.

If you provide a normal juicer/blender to your office staff to make fresh juice you just know that a bunch of people won't clean it after they use it and others won't use it because they'll have to clean it.
With something that doesn't require cleaning you will actually get more staff using it.

The problem is that this particular device is stupidly (cheap, now) for what it is and the subscription service of $5-7 per HALF GLASS of juice is ridiculous.

>>61391503
I remember seeing articles about how millennials, or just people over time, have been losing grip strength.

>>61399791
I think what he means is that you could put a QR code on the packet with the expiry date and then the device could check the expiry date vs the internal clock to determine if it is past without an Internet connection.

But we all know it's doing more than that. The QR codes are probably multi dataset so they can check if people are re-using codes to make the juicer squeeze non-Juicero packets.

They only use money that they are comfortable losing. It's high risk, high reward. The idea behind venture capitalism is you invest in something unproven in hopes that it takes off and becomes popular. If you keep trying you'll eventually find something that makes a good profit. Even if you don't, a venture capitalist has their real income elsewhere.

I picked a bunch of analog electronics and microelectronics electives because I really like soldering, and fucking around with oscopes, but it was literally all just for fun because I ended up doing web development. The most important class I took for my job was an optional OOP class with Java, since otherwise the only languages I would have had experience with would have been LC-3 (i.e. fake) Assembly and C/Embedded C. The Java class was enough for me to get an idea for what the fuck objects and methods and all that stuff is. Now I primarily do Node.js and HTML/CSS, but I've had to touch a few legacy Java apps too and they were all god awful (((Enterprise))) piles of shit. We also do a lot of Docker/Kubernetes, MongoDB, Apache, and I've done some PHP fuckery on the side too. We used to focus our client code in angularJS, but we're moving it to angular4 and hopefully even further in the future one of the newer versions of JavaScript will be good enough that we can just drop the angular frameworks completely.

Not that angular frameworks are bad, they're pretty neat and that's why we use them, but sometimes you feel bad about forcing the user to download angular.js when they visit your site and everybody wants to reduce the amount of shit that users have to actually download.

School was good for problem solving, math, and giving me skills that I can use for a self-gratifying tinkering hobby at home, but really everything I use at my job I learned at my job.

>>61405335
it looks shady as fuck, but isn't necessarily laundering.

could be old fashioned nepotism, favor trading/bribery, or just completely ignorant investors.

Doesn't make sense. If this was money laundering the device wouldn't be so over-engineered and over-built.

Some of them are... some.

This happened to me also. It's interesting to hear how our world is made piece by piece.

Even though I don't know metal works I'd say he is exaggerating how much the shit costs. Think about fucking CPUs and computer cases. Custom parts or not most materials are cheap as hell for the producers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RowwNXKEt4k
IBM used to warn against over-engineering back in 1967.
Cookie Monster is supposed to represent normal wear and tear and to provide an example of how using custom parts is a bad idea because they're expensive and will drive up costs only to break and cost even more and the computer technobabble is supposed to depict how easy it is to make an overly complex system that only does one thing.
