Your office manager has to be a special kind of stupid. All costs are opportunity costs, you could have an 'endless' bowl of fresh fruit and a weekly keg of good beer in the office for less. I'd be bitching about wasting bene money on overpriced crap.
During the first dotcom, I thought the toaster that printed a weather map on the toast was actually one of the better ideas. But that was before ubiquitous smartphones.
Bags are $5-$8 and produce about 8 fluid ounces of juice. There are a lot of chumps in the world, but this is just pushing stupid a few steps too far. Even the special kind of 'stupid' that comes from lack of meat in the diet won't fall for this crap (outside LA anyhow).
The company obviously doesn't understand it's own business model. They are now only selling the bags to known machine purchasers. Apparently to stop 'hand squeezers'. Would HP refuse you printer ink because you hadn't registered your inkjet?
Bose is only a tiny increment past what Google and Apple also do.
Granting they, at least, have the excuse of serving up the content. All can make somewhat plausible claims of 'enhanced user experience', e.g. pandora like 'suggestions'.
What's needed is a shim for Android and iPhone. To lie to all apps about basically...everything. When an app asks for permissions, this shim should look the app up and give it 'appropriate' access.
Tell all the apps you are constantly on the shopping streets of Beverly Hills, Venice, Manhattan and Monaco. Watch the 'free shit for rich fuckers that don't need it' roll in. Have it fake up obvious charter flights on gulfstreams...flights between 'executive airports' that don't match any scheduled ones, but travel at jet speed.
Tell the apps that all the most powerful people in DC, Beijing, Moscow, London, Tokyo and your own nation's capital are in your contact list and _calling you_ constantly. You are Rothschilds', Putin's, Trump's, both Clintons, Merkel's, the King of Saudi's and the entire Chinese central committee's BFF. Along with 1000 other names nobody knows: lobbyists, 'high class' madams/pimps/whores, 'very hard drug' dealers, weapon dealers, lawyers, spy agency heads and senior staff, preachers etc etc...the scum attached to power.
My understanding is that the only way to do this is a custom ROM on Android, impossible in apple's ecosystem.
What are the chances of Apple allowing this app, should it be built, into their walled garden?
What could this apps writers charge other app writers for 'special treatment'? Default behavior for say, 'Maps' should be to lie to it about where you are unless the app's interface is visible. What would it be worth to Google to 'fix that'? Evil laugh...we could 'tax' them. What about the NSA? (Jokes on the devs: The spooks would, no doubt, just 'own' their source control server).
The thread is about 3 specific programs that are all run in an actuarially unsound way. Any insurance company would be shut down and the executives arrested for doing similar.
Can happen in the office. I've resorted to leaving threats of physical violence (breaking all their fingers (and toes), so they couldn't possible code) in the comments. Poor source control made it unattributable, but I knew who 'did it'.
At very least, project managers need to spot review source control logs. Peer code review for where the project manager can't code. Being in the same office doesn't help if coding remains a 'shameful, solitary practice'.

Per the article: $5-$8 per bag. 8 oz juice/bag.

Red Green, para.
X raised to factorial(1.5) or factorial(X raised to 1.5)?
At $5/day (1 bag/day) this POS is $1825/year. It's just too much of a rip for anyone sane, but then again, people go to Starbucks.

Geographically close.
There are a few companies in the new generation that have setup in SF, but it's not SanJose.
I confess, I RTFA.

I kind of liked home brewing. But home bottle sterilizing was a fucking bore.

A bad knockoff of 'Command and Conquer' is historically important?
Hell 'Warcraft' was a bad knockoff of 'C&C', starcraft was just a bad reskin of warcraft.
Hasn't been true in over 10 years. Less true every year that passes.
