If you are using them for baking I'd be worried that freezing will screw with the protein structure and mess up the bake. Might be able to get away with it for basic cakes, but anything where you are relying on the egg protein for structure (meringue, genoise, buttercream, etc) then I'd expect trouble
As an example of how this could work based on how it does where I live;
When you get a job, open a bank account or a shareholding account you fill in a form telling them your IRD number and tax code. There is a flow chart on the back of the form to help you work out what your code is, but it is derived from the amount of income you expect to earn throughout the year and if you have any special statuses that significantly change how you pay tax (eg, of you have a student loan or owe child support)
Before you are paid (your income, dividends, interest, profit from share sales etc), the party paying you uses your tax code to determine the percentage tax you owe, then sends the tax plus a filing directly to the IRD on your behalf
At the end of the tax year, IRD looks at all the filings, totals up all your income, totals up all the tax you've paid, checks if you are eligible for certain tax credit, and works out if you've paid the right amount of tax
You get notified of the outcome, and get a chance to correct it (eg, if you've made charitable donations and want to claim a credit based on that etc)
Once the filing is finalised (which happens automatically if you do nothing) you either get a bill in the post, a cheque, or the money deposited directly into your bank account if you've nominated one - unless you owe them less that $10, in which case you get a letter saying that they've written the debt off and you owe nothing
No muss, no fuss. If you've got an interest in a trust or own a company then it gets a bit more complicated and you might need an accountant to file for you, but for 95% of people it's free, happens automatically, and they aren't stuck with a big bill at the end of the year
I think that would be a defensible position if you weren't selling the files. The distinction between "purchased a physical product that someone manufactured" and "purchased the designs and fabricated a physical product to the designers spec" is pretty semantic.
A safety disclaimer is a good step, but (in my opinion) once money changes hands you become a manufacturer and take on the responsibility to ensure the product you are selling is safe
Design looks slick and I'm glad it's solving a problem that you have, but as someone who works in medtech I have to say - actually selling this as a product would probably be classed as a "Bold Move".
The product you are marketing is controlling the dispensing of a drug, so is pretty unambiguously a Medical Device. The details vary by country and exactly which category this ends up in, but you are almost certainly required by law to seek approval from the regulators for any jurisdiction that you are marketing this product in. I'm not totally clear if "selling designs to produce a Device" would attract the same level of scrutiny as "selling a Device", but generally I'd recommend not screwing with the FDA.
But that's the thing - they already hold an incredible amount of power and influence to control how things are run to protect their interests. Abbot is throwing a fit because the federal government stopped him murdering people he doesn't like. It's not enough to have power to secure their own position, they also want the power to reduce the position of people they see as inferior
Look, it's all about authorial intent - if the author had wanted their book to be easy to reference or accessible to people who use screen readers, they would have published a DRM free PDF in the first place. Gotta respect the artist's vision.
Not a lawyer, but my understanding is that you can charge someone with conspiracy if they take an "affirmative step in the furtherance of a crime"; idly discussing if it would be a good idea to assassinate someone probably isn't conspiracy (probably 1A protected, and doesn't "further" a crime), but actually getting together with your friends and starting to plan out how you would do that probably is
Suppose it is - suppose that you can know for sure that your entire perception of reality is just noise being generated somewhere and being fed into your consciousness, and that no action you take has any impact on this meta-reality.
If you have already screwed up, you now get to play The Game of Litigation, where their lawyers try to prove that you are liable for billions of dollars in damages, and your lawyer tries to prove that you aren't. The way the game works is whoever spends the most on lawyers wins. You've got more cash to spend than your clients right?
From the previous issue it sounds like the developer has proper legal representation, but in his place I wouldn't even begin talking with Haier until they formally revoke the C&D, and provide enforceable assurances that they won't sue in the future.
Also I don't know what their margins are like, but even if this cost them an extra $1000 in AWS fees on top of what their official app would have cost them (I seriously doubt it would be that much unless their infrastructure is absolute bananas), then it would probably only be a single-digit number of sales that they would have needed to loose to come out worse off from this.
Because if you are a microchip manufacturer in the 70s:
Calculators are a reasonably good revenue stream once you've developed a chip, but needs a ton of upfront investment
Defence contractors have essentially unlimited budgets from DoD, need chips, and are more than willing to pay for all the R&D to get what they need
The entire US tech and aerospace industries are built on what is effectively massive government subsidies in the form of weapons contracts

I'm guessing the answer is "no, cos freedom" or something, but do you not have to get a road worthiness certification updated periodically in America?
