This article is somewhat interesting but kind of disappointing. I was expecting the author to suggest some policy recommendations based on the observations after the problem and various options were analyzed, but it ended abruptly.
- agucova 5y agoSame, it started well and then suddenly stopped.
- solresol 5y agoIt's a high school (IB) essay. Given that the student probably started learning about economics less than 18 months ago, I think it's pretty amazing.
- segfaultbuserr 5y agoThanks for the context.
- musicale 5y agoIn spite of how much we all benefit from the likes of Google, Apple, Amazon, etc., it's surprising and very disappointing how some (greedy, lazy) open source developers eventually tire of doing large amounts of work for free in order to help these excellent and public-spirited companies (or specifically their executives and shareholders) enjoy massive profits. It's a shame that so few open source developers seem willing to beg for tips on github, and can't even be bothered to sign up wealthy patrons and donors for their projects, as recommended by this fine article.
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoEffectively securing large patrons and writing software are disjoint skill sets.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoYou seem to be taking @musicale's post seriously but it was just sarcasm.
- hawkeye424 5y agoProduct price as quality judgement could be a source of the disappointment.
- lolinder 5y agoGiven the context (an essay for an IB class taken in High School), the essay is very impressive.
