are you serious? they're board members of the non-profit... they don't have any shares in the for-profit subsidiary and thus no financial incentive for commercializing the IP

meanwhile, all the employees are paid via a profit sharing scheme. 98% of them are backing Altman because they don't want to see their compensation nuked.

> Investors have no reason to worry about their investment in the tech

What? They have a MASSIVE reason to worry: 3/4 board members are clearly not aligned with the profit motive. And D'angelo has a massive conflict of interest with monetizing their models.

The thing is, a high growth company like MongoDB doesn't need to fire a single engineer to turn highly profitable. They grew revenue 57% YoY last quarter and spent 52.6% of revenue on sales & marketing.

Unfortunately this is my experience as well. Generally it's a misalignment of priorities. Since the people writing the endpoint don't have to consume it, they just do whatever is easiest as quickly as possible. And often many are dismissive of frontend concerns when challenged.

Don't worry, it'd just be seized and put in control of very competent and qualified "elected" members of The Party.

lol @ people who think Apple pushing back on FB tracking is out of their goodness of heart.

They want FB to introduce a subscription model so they can rake in that sweet 30% commission.

I am in favor of more consumer options, always prefer subscriptions to ads/tracking, and am a huge fan of Apple products. The issue is more that 30% commission is extortionate imo.

You can (and should) monitor page load performance... using JS

Ok, so you want to disable tracking and ads.

Why does that necessitate disabling all JS? You can enjoy the performance of an SPA while selectively disabling tracking.

Also, SPA and server side rendering are not mutually exclusive. Both make sense as performance optimizations depending on the context.

The climate too. Always sunny (good lighting). Warm, but not too hot.

> People buying Apple for its M1 low power consumption are a niche inside a niche.

Got it, watching Netflix in Chrome without the laptop getting hot is "a niche inside a niche" while GPU intensive 3d graphics workflows are mainstream.

Instead of session length they could use time to success and number of successes. A success being dwelling on content for a certain length of time or interacting with it (commenting, liking). I guess these fall under GP's "engagement metrics".
