Raspberry Pi IPO

Great to see charities bringing their charitable goods to the stock market.

100%. After seeing this comment, I'm shocked to learn that even in the US, apparently non-profits can issue stock (in a small subset of states anyway). What the hell is the point of owning a stock if not for profit? Just issue a donation if you want to contribute moreney to a charity. Seems very disingenuous.

This is a shame, the customer will now be the shareholder rather than the purchaser of the product.

Prepare for raspberry pis to make even less sense for hobbyists/consumers?

What hardware do you prefer?

Slightly tangential, but if anyone is wondering how profitable could be running a charity in the UK: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/chari...

Last section shows salary breakdown for top (60k+) earners.

TLDR: Eben earns £450-500k and most probably his wife is somewhere there at £150k+

Turns out those are the total remuneration for employees at the charity and all its subsidaries (i.e. charity and commercial arms) - thats how much tech in the UK pays.
