>He sold his company for $75M

I never really understood this. From what I saw and what I knew of the company they didn't really have anything really proprietary. They were great at selling stuff on Amazon which definitely has value. But they had no unique products or anything like that. Just a bunch of stuff you can get 20 different places.

>>helping fill that low end employee slot

I think it is also a simple second job for a lot of people. I have a few friends who are teachers and they do Uber Eats deliveries on the weekends or evenings. Just a few hours here and there but the extra $200 or so a month they get makes a pretty big difference to them.

When I was in Austin a few months back we did a bike tour on some electric assisted bikes. Loved it. For someone who doesn't bike much it was a great way to get around a city. If I lived in an urban environment where I had to commute a couple miles something like one of these would be excellent. I think the ones we rode were about $4000 each.

>>This startup is raising $750 million to outmaneuver Domino's and Pizza Hut with pizzas made by robots

I could see them competing with Domino's and Pizza Hut. But until they can figure out a way to properly stretch the dough and not press it out they won't be able to compete with "real" pizza places. There are definitely structural differences in the dough with those two different methods. But if they can get me my pizza 10 minutes quicker and that cuts down on the times the kids ask "when is the pizza getting here?" I am all for it.

>>I can see how a middle-class family of 4 could suck up some gb

There have been many, many times the kids have turned off the TV but haven't stopped Netflix on the Roku. So it is just sucking up data with nobody watching for hours.

>>Bezos called and asked me how I wanted my personal bot customized.  I told him 'double deuces with spinners.'

Come on RC, this is your chance to get your robot puppy!

>>I'm guessing this Carl thing is going to be more beefy-tasting?

Throw enough toppings on the Beyond Burgers and they aren't bad. They have a similar texture and look to real burgers and covered in mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickles, tomatoes, etc. they are a passable substitute and much more burger-like than any other meat substitutes I have tried. Don't know if I would ever purposely order one but they are a decent option.
