It used to be 700...

One of the most lavishly funded gadget startups in Silicon Valley last year was Juicero Inc. It makes a juice machine. The device transforms single-serving packets of finely chopped fruits and vegetables into liquid freshness. But is it worth $399?

i kinda assumed the packets were biodegradable because I really don't know how a normal person would get around the guilt of using so much plastic for a glass of juice.

it seems they are not.

And then on top of all this we now seem to have more and more populist snake oil nonsense like 'solar roadways', actually starting to siphon government funding away from real projects.

Good article BTW, thank you.

Matt Stoller had a good piece on the destruction of Silicon Valley, with this horseshit as a prime example. Without antitrust enforcement, this is what you end up with: playtoys for the oligarchs.

Exactly what does he want anti-trust enforcement on?

He makes a great case for historical anti-trust cases (AT&T, IBM, Microsoft, etc) but he doesn't really specify who he wants to enforce anti-trust against or what it is that they're doing?
