Interesting, TIL

thanks!

Books has become e-books.

To some extent

but have you been to a hip bookstore recently? They exist, and are very much alive.

It makes for a mean cappuccino, and is environmentally much, much lower impact.

My comment from another thread: https://startrek.website/comment/16491624

tl;dr: tiny production, would be astonished if they got $6k out of it, and that's not counting time, props, transportation, etc.

It's for 5 performances on the calendar, tickets are $30. It's a 49 person theater

and some of those seats are sure to be friends and family comps. Venue costs between $200-$250 per performance.

It would be a miracle if they got $6k from tickets after venue fees. And that's not counting time, cost for props, transportation, etc.

This is small time artsy theater. Suggesting that it's a cash grab is a bit insulting to those involved.

Compensation for engineers in the Bay area will average much higher than $200k, and that's not counting benefits (medical, etc.). So cost to the company will be way higher than 200k/employee.

For a project that has hardware, there will be large expenses associated with that

custom silicon has huge setup costs, for example.

And you're worried that the show is starting small???

I didn't say I was worried; the headline left a lot of wiggle room for interpretation, I was adding some detail.

Looks like it's Taylor Street Theatre, a 49-seat venue.

Oh, I tried that once or twice

I'll have to try it again!

There's so such thing as starter "discard"! Add water, oil, sugar, salt, baking soda and you've got some vegan sourdough pancakes. Or use any of a number of other recipes

but no sense in wasting it.

I could be wrong but I think these are prepaid, not paid on delivery...
