As someone who makes cold brew every day, this is one of the two approaches I've considered to speed things up, the other being one of those magnetic stirrers they have in chemistry lab.
However, after careful consideration, the real low-hanging-fruit here is the time it takes to grind the coffee, load it, fill the water, clean the filter, and rinse the jar. If a cold brew machine could automate these steps (like some hot coffee machines do) you wouldn't care about making a cup in 3 minutes because you'd always have an automatic jar ready for you from 24 hours ago.
Tchaikovsky's 1880 work 1812 Overture, which is scored for artillery and has passages marked as ffff (in a score, "fortississimo" (fff) instructs the musicians to play the marked passage extremely loudly and is normally the loudest volume specified; "fortissississimo" (ffff), which means to play louder than fortississimo, is sometimes used) has been described as the loudest classical piece. The piece has been played with FH70 155 mm (6.1 in) howitzers and Type 74 Main Battle Tanks included in the orchestra instrumentation (a typical 155mm howitzer generates about 180 dB at the source, sufficient to sometimes cause immediate and permanent hearing damage (artillery crews are issued hearing protection)). The piece is usually performed outdoors or with simulated or recorded cannons, but an indoor performance with live cannon at the Royal Albert Hall has been cited as having been particularly loud.
Around the turn of the century I was also interested in calculating such a thing, but I am a lousy/lazy programmer so I wound up finding C++ code by a programmer called "Eric Farmer". Is that you?
Thank you. No, that's not me. You can see that this is not so unique, what I have done there. These calculations look very complicated at first sight, but they are not. You can actually program this step by step with a few basics of probability theory without special knowledge.
When money used to have a firm link to the real world, when it was lost (like when gold coins sunk to the bottom of the sea or were stolen by pirates) it was really lost.
Certainly it can been seen as a "feature" of the current fiat currency regime that your lost/stolen money can be "recovered". But it can also been seen as a "crippling fault" when this "feature" can be so easily exploited by those running the system.
Dude, it's not a feature that someone who makes a trivial mistake in a banking application they don't fully understand can have all their money stolen with no recourse.
1) dont play with what you don't understand
2) dont expect others to make your decisions for you
3) dont expect authorities to bail you out when you mess up
This deference to authority to protect your money is exactly the world that bitcoin was made to avoid. It is exactly why your bank money is not in your control, and self-custodian bitcoin IS money you control.
It is a feature, it is desirable.
("But I can spend the money in the bank however I like..." Not quite. You are only allowed to do what the bank will let you do.)
Theft, Loss and Fraud are not good things, for sure, but their existence is not an excuse to ignore personal responsibility.
Because the people who control the money everywhere on this planet all simultaneously debase their phony currencies all the time over and over again, creating a hidden inflation tax that there was no way to avoid until bitcoin was invented.
That was also my first reaction when I saw their choice of name for this.
Daimler-Benz owns Unimog, I'm sure they have plenty of lawyers hanging around ready to defend their intellectual property.
