There are plenty of examples of workers unions voting with similar levels of agreement. Here are two from the last couple months:
> UAW President Shawn Fain announced today that the union’s strike authorization vote passed with near universal approval from the 150,000 union workers at Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. Final votes are still being tabulated, but the current combined average across the Big Three was 97% in favor of strike authorization. The vote does not guarantee a strike will be called, only that the union has the right to call a strike if the Big Three refuse to reach a fair deal.
> The Writers Guild of America has voted overwhelmingly to ratify its new contract, formally ending one of the longest labor disputes in Hollywood history. The membership voted 99% in favor of ratification, with 8,435 voting yes and 90 members opposed.
> 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.
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.
How does ousting Altman nuke compensation? If they keep working there and bring in a new CEO equivalent to Altman with less dishonesty then everyone still wins, except Altman.
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.
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.
Sadly, it's not often that simple. Giving amazon.com permissions to JS should be enough, but it requires media. or ssl-images to get basic functions to work.
Then there's the issue of [randomstring].clouldfront.com - what does this script do? Do I need it?
Often finding the right combination of scripts to enable to get one piece of functionality to work makes the whole experience painful and frustrating, often I just forget what I was trying to do and go elsewhere.
