From the actual bill:
"This bill would require that any advanced mobile communications device, as defined, that is sold in California on or after January 1, 2015, include a technological solution, which may consist of software, hardware, or both software and hardware, that can render inoperable the essential features of the device, as defined, when the device is not in the possession of the rightful owner. The bill would require that the technological solution be able to withstand a hard reset, as defined. The bill would prohibit the sale of an advanced mobile communications device in California without the technological solution being enabled, but would authorize the rightful owner to affirmatively elect to disable the technological solution after sale."
Good money, low overhead working in the attic (pun intended!), and worked on site about half the time (stayed with a friend who lived there).
That dried up earlier this year and I was getting tired of Chicago, so I applied to a bunch of full-time jobs in California and took a 110k/year embedded software job in San Diego. I miss contracting and working on my own hours, but this larger salary, awesome benefits, and stable income are nice too. Though I just started working on a hardware start-up on the side. I'm hoping this will get big.
Ask HN: Should I lower my rates for small startups?
I've been freelancing for over a year now (doing embedded software engineering). I raised my rate a few months ago from $52 to $64 per hour. Things are going well and I plan on raising them again soon.Recently, I've had some very small, bootstrapped start-ups contact me for quotes to do projects. They can't afford my normal rates. I ended up doing a very small project for one company for what...

Joel writes "You need purchasing managers and CEO approval and competitive bids and paperwork."
I think this is a bit over-reaching. Sure, you need manager approval, but that's been pretty easy to obtain in any engineering environment I've been in. Most of the time the software vendors come up with a new file format that's incompatible with the past, so you're practically forced to upgrade. Never have I seen bids or CEO/CTO approval on the software I'm discussing.
I think perhaps a more relevant range is 5k-75k or even 10k-75k.
