Interesting. I like this. No need for a cookie banner.
they get your ssh public key which is a unique identifier so that should be disclosed.
If they aren't logging it then there's nothing to disclose.

#33$25 for 12 oz? Yikes!
With 70$/kg that's at the upper end of typical prices for specialty coffee (though I'm not familiar with US prices specifically). No idea if they are at a level where they can compete at that price point, a single blend as main product is rather odd for a coffee roaster. At this price point you'd usually get various single origin coffees.

#34They sold out in 15 minutes? Or this is email/ip addy harvesting?
From their Twitter, they sold out yesterday. OP must have just thought it was interesting regardless, even if it's a suboptimal time for them.

#36Hmm, a CLI interface for consumer purchasing. Can I pipe that order through to a payment processor and delivery method? Script my meals for the week?
Everquest has you beat by a couple decades: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7020132 In that game you can type /pizza and it'll get ordered and delivered
Nice. I was wondering if this had been done somewhere before.
"Sony plans to integrate the pizza function more tightly into the game", which every game should do, of course :)

#40One safety tip: disable SSH Agent Forwarding before you connect, otherwise the remote server can theoretically reuse your private key to establish new connections to GitHub.com or prod servers (though this host is unlikely malicious).
