Without any indication of where these indie hackers live, the income statement is almost useless. If you earn $100k/year while living in Bratislava, Slovakia, that would put you in the upper bracket when it comes to income, while if you live in San Fransisco, US, you're not exactly making a killing.
Problem with such theories is people are making the choices as to what laws and interpretation of them are, not magic.

The people in charge have gotten much richer than average people.

That’s not magic or unexplainable. It’s explainable in very easy terms; humans are taking advantage of other humans.

Sorry; the magical thinking must stop. It’s people intentionally designing policy to empower them at others expense: https://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/27/business/job-insecurity-o...

Economic theories are just another form of “god spoke to me, and said for every 10 widgets you produce, I own 9 to exploit for myself”.

It’s just people being biased and manipulative for their own gain.

Edit: asset valuations are often self reported and inflated to fake wealth. Fake social media accounts influence millions in spend, faking public interest. What economists are measuring is illusory.
Yes but the United States government trusts Mark Zuckerberg more than Xi Jinping.
I had a company do this once after they let me go.

The place was a toxic personality cult around the owner/manager, and I left a Glassdoor review saying as much. Someone at the company found it within a couple months, and then overnight several current employees had posted glowing reviews refuting mine. Certainly we wouldn't expect a personality cult to launch an Internet brigade to protect the boss' ego.
If you camp like they did in the 60s?

I don’t. I have a modern backpack with a camel pack and lightweight tent and electric lantern et cetera. But those are one-time costs. And they’re totally optional. Car camping is still highly accessible and cheap as hell.
That is not true. One of the many factors that make human tribes competitive is grandparents. Grandparents can help in many ways especially with child rearing and retain knowledge not available to younger people. Having more healthier and longer lived grandparents enhances the relative fitness of those of breeding age. There is a similar effect with homosexuals tending to contribute to tribal fitness thus enhancing reproductive fitness of the tribe.

>"Collective responsibility is incurred when a persons have not done all measures within their power to avoid the situation in which the crime is committed on behalf of society of which these persons are a part."

Cut the crap. We are all part of a single society - people of the earth. Follow your logic we should be doing nothing else but trying to stop the world acting the way it does. The atrocities are everywhere. I would not be able to sleep and function at all if I've felt that "collective" responsibility. This is not how humans work.
Indeed, this is the ideal outcome for all involved. Everyone makes some money, everyone spent the time doing what they enjoyed doing, nobody got shafted, and contributors were able to integrate their contributions while being able to pull the whole app back down for their own (free) use.
my main man, Brazil feeds a lot of people outside its borders. I am not fan of Brazilian agriculture and its intense practices. If you live in USA, Brazil is a competitor albeit a dinged one, but if you go on sanctioning countries that provide food and fertilizer around the world, people are going to die and nations are going to collapse in matter of months not years.

Be careful what you wish for, it can come true.

This of course applies to all environmental issues, both foreign and domestic. There would be a lot more partnership and a lot less animosity if we universally adhered to your notion. We might actually get something done!
This is almost certainly Facebook just lobbying to get mindshare back from TikTok. It's great for the US government too, who probably already has unfettered access to everything Facebook collects on its users. If US users go to TikTok, Facebook loses money, and the US gov't loses easy access to all that sweet sweet data. So probably Facebook doesn't even have to lobby too hard for a statement like this to come out from the FCC. Whether or not it's true doesn't even really matter. Do you want your personal data flowing to the CCP or the US gov't & Facebook/Instagram? Both seem like really bad choices to me. The only good choice is not to use any of these services at all.
The shepherds are still eating way less meat than Americans. 70% of their protein is coming from vegetables, whereas 70% of Americans proteins comes from animals, see here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10405679/#:~:text=Statistica....
Agree. Imagine outsiders telling you that half your country is untouchable. I wonder if some future carbon credit system could pay them for the carbon sequestration that the Brazilian Amazon provides.
Mexico best; New Zealand second to worst.

Yeah, and don't just dump shitty impossible to run research code on github with a half-assed README.

> I have done enough research on production ML now to know that it pays to simply overfit to the most recent data and constantly retrain.

> It puzzles me when people say that small companies can’t retrain every day because they don’t have FAANG-style budgets. It costs a few dollars, at best, to retrain many xgboost or scikit-learn models.

if re-training every-day actually gives you a significant business material benefit (excepting cases where you specifically want to significantly over-weight recent data - phone keyboard autocomplete predictions as an example), you likely don't have a model that is actually picking signal from noise or generalizing on the data. This is memorization, not learning. This is essentially how you get expensive ML disasters.
>...The turbidity is inversely proportional to disk depth.

Thanks. This is the missing piece in the otherwise informative and in-depth (...ahem) article.
This is totally out of touch with reality. Parking is absolutely necessary at 90% of these venues for a family.

Transportation trends in the last 50 years have simply gotten more and more car dependent. Do you live in the US, or are you talking about somewhere else? Do you have children?
Could you point us to China saying that? AFAIK China's policy is precisely the opposite: they've repeatedly made it very clear they will use military force if Taiwan ever proclaims independence.
People who would go to baseball games live far away from the stadium and would prefer to not walk or bike miles and miles to get there, and American public transit and biking infrastructure generally suck. Parking within 1000 feet of a venue is an expectation for most events and attendees.

Here's an interesting video from the early 80s seeing this in action:

Right, well it's not really by design that they make so little... but the way most of them they run their businesses, is it any wonder?

A lot of people do these as side projects. A way to sort of build a model train in their basement, free from all the complexities and compromises of "real" software development... They are trying to avoid product managers, sales people, designers, testers... countless others... getting a say in what they build.

And, as a result, there's no business plan past a dream of, "If you build it, they will come." Hard to see any "indie hacker" project that wouldn't be improved with more testing, more marketing, more UX design... more customer research... but most of the time, it's just some guy with a boring day job trying to make $5 selling a widget nobody asked him to build in the first place.

Anyway not to be negative... but like, if you're a small indie hacker who is trying to make a buck, remember that all of the software we use today has a village of people involved in the creation and support of it. If you're trying to do it all on your own... man, that's an up-hill battle. Bring in others as soon as you can.

Then make sure you have a business plan that has the capacity to reward everyone, and be patient. A lot of people in tech... we're early-adopters. This means we do things well before a lot of people even know they exist, and by the time an audience has grown we've already moved on thinking our ideas were a flop. Sometimes they just take a little longer to pan out. (=
I'm shocked anyone would buy something from Nutanix.

Please be more creative than your assumption that trying to do better than capitalism means everything becomes state-owned. Markets have value, capitalism is materially different from a market economy.
Most likely, thankfully they haven't done so.

Looking at the mess Android Java is, and how great they are designing programming languages.
No one cares about 'just' a hypersonic per se.

The world's militaries want a *homing* hypersonic missile, to avoid AEGIS missile defense and attack a US Carrier moving at 35MPH, trying to actively dodge out of the way.

That means steering and thrust on the way down, likely staying at hypersonic speeds until it impacts the moving target.

The world's militaries are trying to kill the US Carrier Strike Force.
Isn’t this all driven by supply and demand? If people really were making less and willing to pay less for these activities, wouldn’t the companies automatically start cutting costs, make the products inferior and lower prices? Doesn’t this analysis only tell us that people today are more willing to (or able to) spend more compared to their income (maybe people save less or spend less taking care of their elderly or something)
Could you give some examples? The US has certainly abused its power (notoriously, in the 60s and 70s at the height of the Cold War), but "constant" appears to be stretching historical fact to fit a narrative.

Sadly, all flavours of UK government have had their grubby mitts on IR35 and failed to do anything meaningful with it. Labour introduced the idea (thanks Gordon Brown), the Lib/Con coalition did a "review" of it and then the latest Conservative govt got it over the line. HMRC are just responsible for collecting the taxes, not making the laws.

Infosys has been doing rather well since the legislation hit the private sector though.
This just isn’t true. EKS is well supported now and works quite well. Amazon originally bet on ECS years and years ago before it was clear k8s was going to win, but they’ve committed to EKS now.
Re docker - ECS, and fargate(fargate supports EKS/k8s now too) which is built on top of it, have always been docker from day 1. So don’t understand what you mean there.
Yes, the app itself (where you can see bugs on websites) is not supported on mobile devices. The interface is similar to browser developer tools which is too bulky for mobile. Can you open up https://responsiveye.com/ on a computer?

Well, western countries also have some role in such destruction if we look deeply. Brazil cut amazon for animal farming and wealthy people & countries are the ones who import beef. Countries like China, the US, and the EU are major importers of Beef. Maybe these news articles also blame them?

Brazil isn't a developed country and many people live under the belt of poverty. So, what are they supposed to do? In addition, corruption has made their life miserable. This is such a hard problem to solve.

What is morally and ethically worse - eating an animal fed and raised domestically, or eating soy-laiden "plant-based" foods that were grown on recently-raized rainforest several thousand miles away?

It's our demand for goods that is causing this.
Surprised? The company that was selling very specific hardware and at the same time created popular programming language that was multi-platform, so customers could use cheap Intel-based servers instead of that "very specific hardware" (that was also very expensive) to run this software. What could have gone wrong?

The SUN tragedy was that it moved into service/support model too late, this move could not have saved them in the time-frame that all the investors wanted to see their money.

For me, personally, it was very, very sad, as SUN people, including sales, marketing were very nice, willing to cooperate even with small companies, there was a lot of "feeling" of the company run by tech-aware people who did not care about counting every cent.

SUN had a lot of really state of the art software for what support was selling pretty good, Glassfish server, Message Broker (one of the best on the market, really hard to beat) and many others... Still not enough money.

I hoped for some other deal, like selling hardware part to Fujitsu and keep working on Software/Cloud, etc. but, as I said, greedy people wanted their money right away. Oracle had big hopes for suing Google and winning a lot cash.

Business is hard, not always the good guy wins.
This is wonderful. I’ve been working on a bunch of animations with no soundtrack yet. Maybe I can use these or the algorithm? What is license?
Except where’s the money in that for Glassdoor? Glassdoor makes money from job listings and it’s in their interests to have positive reviews of companies as that’s going to get companies to pay for job listings because they’ll get more/better applicants if they have positive reviews.

Ah memories: parsing XML fast is what lead me to work for Apple. I gave a talk about it (based on https://webhome.cs.uvic.ca/~nigelh/Publications/IDEAL02.pdf: Expeditious XML processing, Yeow, Horspool, Levy) to the Vancouver XML group. That led me to be approached by the chair of the XML Vancover group who happened also to be the director of a Vancouver software company. They hired me and about a year later the company was acquired by Apple. And so that part of my adventure began.

(The fundamental idea of the parser was to use ideas taken from Warren's Abstract Machine for Prolog)
UBI isn't paying people not to work, it's paying people regardless of work ("Universal" meaning it's not means tested, not lmited to just unemployed people or just disabled or etc). Benefits stop paying if people start working, even if the work pays less than the benfits.

> "The result is predictable: many firms cannot compete against the state paying people not to work."

Maybe many firms could stop abusing employees to extract money for record profits and instead compete on being decent places to work where people want to work because they feel like they are adding value to the world rather than being exploited and trapped.

If you experience deliberate techniques* used to erode your sanity inside-outside the company, then no matter the cost, you must make sure it gets public. There is an ongoing epidemic at certain companies where individuals who refuse to become a lapdog on all fours, who reject the brainwashing experiments and who reject the pretend you are stupid and should not excel in your job mantra are forced out.

* psyops:
running/scurrying in your periphery

mentioning personal things from your personal/sex life yesterday, but addressed to others

compliment you for bad work, berate for good work

silent treatment

throwing out your performant code and replacing it with trash

employees one after each other, one by one turn against you, trying to give you the impression you are going insane... imagine you talk with someone on a daily basis and then all of a sudden he refuses to interact with you or gives you looks and avoiding you

slamming doors

doing borderline insane things before you, like getting elbow deep in the toilet then smiling at you

pretend face to face that nothing happened

"oldworld" things

etc etc

This oppressive system must be burned down, nuked big time.

-Did I learn something new from it? Yes. Writing down my work is a great way for me to learn as it tells me if I have holes in my knowledge when I go to explain my thoughts.

How many HIMARS rockets are the Russian defense system shooting down?

Given all the ammo dumps on fire this past week, it is clear that the Russian air defense system fails at subsonic rockets, let alone supersonic or hypersonic.

We'll seriously discuss air defense the moment Russia can deal with cheap rockets / Missiles (HIMARS or Neptune).

But Moskova sank and now S300 /S400 systems are getting wrecked. The Russian systems have proven to be a complete joke to a degree no one expected.

Against the Russian adversary, it has become clear that hypersonics are not needed. Neptune (subsonic sea skimming cruise missiles) and HIMARS (ballistic semi-guided subsonic rockets) are all that's actually required.

Just as a gut feeling I would normally say that much less than 1% of indie projects ever make more than 100K/year in revenue. Their pool is of indie hackers with the caveat of:

"At the time of our analysis, there were total of 937 products with Stripe verified revenue. The information we gathered to make this analysis are revenue and product's categories."

I assume there are 10s of thousands of listings that don't have Stripe verified revenue on Indie Hackers (owned by Stripe).

Just look at Product Hunt and track to see how many of the Product Hunt of the day fail in less than 2 years.

And how much of that revenue gets eaten up by the other services is another story ranging from Google ads to AWS to other SaaS offerings like the scraping fish (the authors of the post). (Please buy more shovels from us for the gold rush.)

I still hope people follow their passion and dreams. Just good to keep in mind that the odds are stacked against you and to try to succeed accordingly.

What about a badge for companies who unsuccessfully sued for the info? This would both guard against bad companies who are the genuinely litigious jerks we want to see hurt, and give pause to employees to frivolously libel themselves to attack a company without ground (something that would be clear were the company to successfully sue).
