Thank you so much for breaking this situation down with such clarity. I've had the Gagguino mod on my personal project list for a while, and when I saw that they went closed source I was flabbergasted. Your writeup is the first I've seen that puts the situation in context. And honestly... it's tremendously disappointing. I may end up selling my old Gaggia classic rather than keeping it around just for this.

Yogi was in a league of his own in so many ways. He was the greatest catcher in the history of baseball, but he's remembered for his wit and character.

I met Yogi once, when I was a teenager. This man had a thousand accomplishments to his record, and a museum built in his name, and he still took the time to talk to a young man and give him advice on how to achieve his dreams. He was a uniquely good person, and he will truly be missed.

"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

Intelligent =/= Tolerant

If you go with this line of reasoning, whoever put him in that position should also be fired, and their boss should be fired for putting someone in charge who made such a poor decision in the first place.

The author states they felt it was appropriate when they were fired. In what world would it be appropriate to get fired for a single, simple, incredibly easy to make mistake? Doubly insane when there were exactly zero safeguards in place to prevent the mistake from being made.

There are 2 possibilities:

1. People aren't tipping 2. Cab drivers aren't reporting their tips.

Being a native new yorker, legality aside, I'd bet most cash tips go unreported. Reporting a tip makes that tip taxable, so there is a very strong incentive to bury it if they think they can avoid trouble or suspicion.

The FAQ states the inside is made of glass

I can't even replace an o-ring with gloves on, I cannot imagine the frustration of trying to do such a task with a tele-presence robot. I really don't think the technology for something like that is here yet.

There is no reference or comparison to the fable in the article. This is pure link bait. Absolutely deplorable.

That actually makes me feel much better about the matter, good to know!

I agree. The beauty of Tonx is that it's all about the coffee itself. No milk, no sugar, no dilution. Blue Bottle seems more about the coffee drink and less about the coffee
