Guessing you like your espresso bitter?

“Saving up to 75% of energy by not heating the water is a minor benefit for home users or small coffee shops. But for companies making ready-to-drink coffee products at industrial scale…”

The instant and dried coffee market is $35B-$50B. Cold Brew another $3B-$4B.

First, dismissing the subjective appropriateness of commenting immediately upon his passing, while your points on Hawking's personal failings may be completely valid, highlighting them without the context of his successes seems misleading.

Second, I believe Hawking's contributions and accomplishments hold greater relevance to the audience of Hacker News (and in my opinion humanity at large) than those of Harvey Weinstein.

FTFY: A wealthy narcissist.

Edit: Surprised on the downvotes. "Traveling merchant who imports metals and has a room in their house solely dedicated to customer complaints" Wouldn't the preservation of his narcissism to modern times heavily connote the importance of his wealth?
