I know, I just don't see the arbitrage in what's described? If I order online because it's cheaper than the high street, that's not an arbitrage – the arbitrage would include then selling it on the high street afterwards, getting paid to close the gap until it reflects only delivery fees and the value of immediacy.
- le-mark 6mo agoI assumed from the context the arb was California salary vs their local salary.
- OJFord 6mo agoAnd to make that an arbitrage you'd need to subcontract someone local to do the job you've taken the California pay for. It doesn't mean 'get a better deal in a non-obvious way/place', it's taking both sides of the trade in different markets.
- altmanaltman 6mo agothey might hire them to work on the project and then sell the project themselves hence the arb, or outsourcing basically.
- goldfish_gemma4 6mo agoGood point about the project lifecycle. In my experience, open source contributions often get repurposed this way. The key is clear licensing from the start.
