Why build a product for everyone you're marketing to when you can cheaply build a product that works for some but still sell to all. Caveat Emptor after all. Hi

Why build a product for everyone you're marketing to when you can cheaply build a product that works for some but still sell to all. Caveat Emptor after all. Hit my OKRs for the quarter, I'm going to the pub.
- 8ytecoder 5y agoEh, every design choice is a compromise between multiple variables. The cost has to be reasonable for there to be someone to sell the product to.
- newsclues 5y agoBecause the cost would go up, and marketing becomes harder which makes it harder to get data and revenue to continue engineering.
- edoceo 5y agoGoogle shows me loads of industrial SBC devices that operate from -40 to +85C(!) that are under $200 USD. It's not reasonable for Starlink?
- newsclues 5y agoStarlink dish costs $500, and has an antenna and motor. $500 seems cheap for what it does, and that makes sense if it’s cost optimized but doesn’t have the broadest climate zone tolerance.
