yeah. my comment was as stupid as the article. Unlike the article I just don't have a first page on HN.

your anecdote barely holds btw. comparing nairobi on of the most expensive cities of africa to a third tier city in england. just compare it to london to see.

Consumer Prices in Nairobi are 43.15% lower than in Reading Consumer Prices Including Rent in Nairobi are 49.86% lower than in Reading Rent Prices in Nairobi are 63.97% lower than in Reading Restaurant Prices in Nairobi are 49.25% lower than in Reading Groceries Prices in Nairobi are 44.13% lower than in Reading Local Purchasing Power in Nairobi is 78.67% lower than in Reading

tried the impossible burger. It is far from a good quality meat burger. probably near macdonalds quality.

it is a half baked truth. pharma want you to believe trials are expensive so they inflate crazily their costs to price their drugs high. but at the end when u try to sell them software they dont look at the inflates costs of trials be sure of that

it seems to be mostly for domotics right? what about IOT for other things like medical devices for instance that would be a good area to open source

This is not an exageration anyone jumping in the train from their biggest cities will know.

not saying that progress has not been made. But calling India the best democracy is not factual worse it's a blatant lie. It is a country where you can (should) bribe public officials i.e: "A study conducted by Transparency International in 2005 recorded that more than 62% of Indians had at some point or another paid a bribe to a public official to get a job done"

have you been there? deep poverty as soon as you jump in a train, massive open defecation, legal system that is tribal and still rely on caste, very low women rights especially for non-educated ones. but yeah they might be doing better than anyone for sure.

"Privilege is a large part of the equation; the privilege to not care; the privilege to be a white dude in an industry that (either intentionally or unintentionally) caters to white dudes. Yes, this reflects playing the game on easy mode. I have no doubts there. I’m writing that it’s not enough because I am too privileged to be able to see what non-white dudes should do. So if you’re a white dude reading this, make it better for everyone by not being cheap on compensation (and recognize any potential bias or privilege you may have)."

- what a cringy statement. an industry that caters to white dudes. literaly the CEO of the biggest software company name on earth is an indian. the CEO of one of the top chipmakers on earth is an asian woman and a big chunk of engineers are from china and india but ok whatever. what does the end of the statement means? if you are not white you can be cheap on compensation?

well it is not same. vendor support and third party services (aka support). you can influence the product through support and through being a direct customer.

Well what about enterprise support? When customers buy an enterprise solution at elastic they get support right? what would entitle them to move to this offering.
