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.

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.

Stock is getting hammered in after hours on top of -6.89% today

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.

> will have no idea how terrible their code performs on slower devices

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

The mod team is coordinating

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".

The most significant reason is preventing your identity from being stolen.

In-app payment processing is absolutely not worth a 30% fee. In a normal, competitive environment, Stripe and Paypal charge 3% + $0.30.

Jira free tier has standard roadmaps for up to 10 users: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/features/roadmaps?ta...

It's the pricing too. Apple's 30% fee on the payment processing for in app purchases is insane and clearly anti-competitive. Developers can use Stripe, Paypal, etc for literally 10x less.

> Yes they have less effects than adults but some children do go to the hospital and ICU

You see this kind of vague claim online all the time when it comes to COVID but with no actual data.

What are the actual risks of a child going to the hospital as a result of COVID infection? How does that compare to other risks that you regularly expose your kids to?

$36,640 is actually more than the median individual income in the US, which is $33,706.

2 people * $15/hr minimum * 2000 hrs/year = $60,000 household income

US median household income is $61,937.

You can code split React components and create loading tiers.

Facebook claims they're doing this with the facebook.com redesign, for example: https://engineering.fb.com/web/facebook-redesign/

I mean, onSuccess could change. And as you suggested, creating the extra callback is redundant.

  const fetchData = () => {
    setLoading(true);
    callApi()
      .then((fetchedData) => {
        setData(fetchedData);
        onSuccess();
      })
      .catch((err) => setError(err))
      .finally(() => setLoading(false));
  };
  useEffect(() => {
    fetchData();
  }, []);

becomes

  useEffect(() => {
    setLoading(true);
    callApi()
      .then((fetchedData) => {
        setData(fetchedData);
        onSuccess();
      })
      .catch((err) => setError(err))
      .finally(() => setLoading(false));
  }, [onSuccess]);

This is a bad analogy. Cloudflare is not inspecting individual packets for hate speech. They are refusing to do business with an organization that negatively affects their brand (The Daily Stormer). They should have the right to make that choice as a private entity.

Funny you bring up Fedex: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/business/fedex-washington-red...

This is an Atlassian Statuspage status page, so it's not hosted by Cloudflare.

Describing him as a "tech bro" in the first line is needlessly derogatory. Implying he deserved it. Like calling a rape victim "scantily clad." Pretty gross journalism if you ask me: designed to create outrage and drive clicks.

It takes mental energy to suppress and control emotional outrage, which is bad for your overall mental health and personal productivity.

>Baumeister’s group has repeatedly found that an effort of will or self-control is tiring; if you have had to force yourself to do something, you are less willing or less able to exert self-control when the next challenge comes around. The phenomenon has been named ego depletion. In a typical demonstration, participants who are instructed to stifle their emotional reaction to an emotionally charged film will later perform poorly on a test of physical stamina—how long they can maintain a strong grip on a dynamometer in spite of increasing discomfort. The emotional effort in the first phase of the experiment reduces the ability to withstand the pain of sustained muscle contraction, and ego-depleted people therefore succumb more quickly to the urge to quit.

-- Daniel Kahneman

I don't think the author is arguing you should NEVER be outraged, just that you should be more selective about your attention.

Agree. And there's actually empirical data to back that up: individuals dramatically overestimate the infectiousness and fatality rate of COVID-19 relative to expert opinion.
