> You can buy them from European distributors in bulk for less than MSRP and sell them for the same price as thermoworks on amazon and still make a profit

This sounds like the kind of business plan that breaks down once you consider returns and warranties. I see 3 possibilities, either

(1) you make it clear to your buyers that they are not buying from thermoworks US, and that they must notcontact them for support and that you will meet the guarantees that Thermoworks promise (two years according to their website?), and therefore you will have to ship items back and forth across the atlantic (or just send free replacements), eating into your profits.

(2) you don't make this clear, in which case Thermoworks US will receive "fraudulent" warranty claims (ie legitimate issues, but from people who did not buy from thermoworks). Maybe as the sole distributor in the US, thermoworks weren't even checking where people bought their thermometers from

(3) you don't give the same warranty as Thermoworks, in which case is this crystal clear to the consumer?
They wrote:

Which tells me that your response of:

is wholly inappropriate as they clearly know what you are using as a rebuttal and makes me wonder if you are the one with no idea of what you are reading!

He devalues the content of the article by labeling the author as "feminist academics"? Not just saying "researchers" or "academics" - he needed to point out that it was a woman with a feminist agenda.

But the fact that this is the top comment and gets defended (instead of flagged for the misogyny it is) says enough.
Idk, the median salary at Uber dev office in Lithuania (which is in eastern Europe) is ~9k EUR per month (which is 11k $).

For the business they do not care about the greater good, the greater good is not paying the ransom, for the business paying the ransom and then taking measures so it doesn't happen to them again personally is still likely to be the better option and that is the problem.

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if there was only some mechanism to collectively fund essential infrastructure that the free market finds too unprofitable ...

Yeah, I'm kind of cranky about people who put "profit" and "essential infrastructure" in the same sentence.

There is scant evidence that contracting "essential infrastructure" out of government has actually improved things and lots of evidence that it has not (both the Texas (supposedly light regulations) cold snap fiasco and the ongoing PG&E fiasco in California (supposedly heavy regulations)).

There are artifacts. Your marginal tax rate in the UK is 62% between $140K and $170K.

£100K ($142K) take home => £66,689.16 ($94K)
£120K ($170K) take home => £74,289.16 ($105K)

(£74,289.16 - £66,689.16) / £20,000 = 38% for keeps

How can you state this?

You've commented multiple times and only once disclaimed that you were a former competitor to Thermoworks trying to sell the thermapen also.

You are poisoning this conversation. PUT A DISCLAIMER IN YOUR COMMENTS.
I’d say just it’s “meh” rather than spam. Just tutorial sort of stuff but not HN worthy
Yeah, that's fair. I guess like anything there are grey areas. It's definitely frustrating when you have a more niche brand like thermapen though, where that's definitely not the case, and you can see knockoffs bidding on your keywords and essentially taking advantage of people looking for your product/service.
Donations are nice but not really scalable as a revenue model. Planning to live of that is not a plan. There are a couple of revenue models that do work in the OSS community:

- Just doing things part time. I have a few projects like this. It's fun, it's apparently useful for others. I obviously limit time I spent on this. I don't financially benefit from this and I don't mind. Lots of stuff I use falls in this category. I make a living using that stuff; I don't mind returning the favor by putting in some time. IMHO this is the most undervalued part of OSS: people just doing the work because they can and because it needs doing.

- Consulting and charging better rates by virtue of being involved with something your customers care about and thus being well positioned to provide expert advice on that. Nothing wrong with that of course but it does remove development time from your project. But then eating your own dogfood can be instructive as well. Especially for development tools. Understanding your customers is a lot easier if you are working with them and they are paying you.

- Getting hired by a company to work on software. Linus Torvalds is the famous example here. Guido van Rossum is another one. This gets easier the more economically relevant your project becomes. Being involved in and associated with major OSS companies has brand value. Babel is relevant enough that there might be a company or two with some vested interest in using Babel.

- Providing perks to paying sponsors in the form of logos on a website, co-branding, conferences, meetups, access to support, etc. Lots of long lived OSS projects survive like this. Conferences are also financed like this. There is no shortage of VC funded companies that need to cozy up to developers that already spend millions on all sorts of stuff to do that. All you need to do is provide them a way to get recognized for that. It's also a great way to build the relationships that you might eventually level up to employment. Your community of professional users is a valuable resource that companies want access to that you can facilitate.

I wouldn't consider it a "charity-type job" though. It's a tool that companies are literally using to make money; that's not the same as helping homeless people or working for Oxfam or whatnot.
The common thread about those non-spam transactional e-mails you mention is also that they're usually barely above plaintext. They usually contain some minimally styled table, and some of the company colors. Maybe their logo somewhere. That's in stark contrast from the spam these same companies send, which is where all that "Real Money To Spend on a graphic designer" goes. Compare e.g. the spam PayPal sends you vs. the e-mails confirming payments you've made. In my experience, this is pretty universal.

And speaking of universal heuristic, in my experience, the quality and relevance of content is strongly inversely correlated with the quality of design. The prettiest websites out there are ones that deliver negative value. The best designed (according to modern trends) user interfaces are the ones with worst ergonomy, wasting user time the most.

And yes, the subset of spam that's most recognized - ED pills, reproductive organ enlargement, members of royalty looking for help managing their finances - they tend to be very simply designed. But their distinguishing feature isn't simplicity of design. It's the carelessness. Typos, bad grammar, highly visible formatting mistakes, etc. When, on occasion, one of that "old school" spam messages tries to pose as a legit transactional e-mail, you can see through the deception by noticing the carelessness in replicating the design of the company being impersonated.

Don't forget it's not all about money, though. Above a certain level, money doesn't make people happier (see the hedonic treadmill effect). It's not like this developer is anywhere near poverty. In fact, by all accounts, he's rich. Many people find happiness in being useful. Developing tooling that is used by thousands of programmers around the world trumps working on ads or addictive tech.

> I would interpret “no handholding” to mean “easy to implement”.

The implementer, developer, is one person (or a handful of people). As a general rule, since there a lot more users than developers, we should lean towards making lives easier for users.

Software is used a lot more than it is written.

The car example is flawed, as it takes availability of comparable offers out of the equation. Instead of comparing brands and models, we should look at "what is the cheapest four-seat car you can buy?" and compare prices between them over the years.
And to counter how you feel:

Also "goddamn this car feels like a toy, use some damn quality components instead!" The plastic-y feel does not belong in a car priced like a Tesla. Feel a Mercedes or BMW's plastic and then a Tesla's. Worlds apart.

Its 9k cost to employer. Its 6.5k gross salary which translates to 78k gross salary a year for the employee. A lot of engineers make that salary.

If you are receiving money as a freelancer you need to earn at least 50% more to get a similar net salary as an employee therefore a employee salary of 78k gross is roughly equal to a freelancer making 120k a year.

You have to compare net income as everything else does not make sense.

AMD said part of the reason why they partner with Samsung was because they dont compete in Mobile Phone. Which is a valid point. But now Samsung is competing directly in Laptop and PC using these tech. As a tech enthusiast of course I want to see this ARM / AMD Graphics combination. But as an investor I am thinking If we were mislead in a way.

And if this true does it mean AMD is open to license AMD graphics IP?
I’m not so sure.

I recognise the risk — these days I assume that entirely innocuous facts about me today can become socially unacceptable in the future, having witnessed this happen to multiple people in my life already.

I also recognise that if Tesla doesn’t get out in front of every single incident, it may set back the replacement of human drivers with safer AI drivers.

I also also recognise that Musk is wildly overpromising on the self driving tech, and really only trust him as a rocket scientist and salesman (be the thing he’s selling cars or visions of the future), not digital privacy.

I don’t really trust any famous person for privacy, because they necessarily don’t have even close to as much of it as a normal person.
