>A board member criticizing a non-profit doesn't have the same direct connection to a result opposite of the goals of the company. Even in a nonprofit, the board has an obligation to maintain a good working relationship with their o

The board is getting a lot of crap for being crap. Regardless of your opinion about their goals, their execution was objectively terrible. They were clearly completely detached from their organization. At the very least, they could have mad

Of course they can. If Sam Altman is really as heedless about AI safety as the board seems to think, GTP wouldn't be so aggressively aligned.

>Isn't the whole reason we have non-profit boards and charters is so that they can make just this kind of call? Yes. From the board. That's why we typically don't see boards air their dirty laundry out in the open even whe

The place to course correct is from the board room, not in public. If she had enough power to oust the CEO, she should have enough power to pressure him to make changes.

The weasely part is when he appears to be defecting the blame to the board rather than accepting that he made a mistake. Even if the coup wasn't Ilya's idea in the first place, he was the lynchpin that made it possible.

I've yet to see any good evidence that Congress is outperforming the market due to insider trading. Even if they were, I don't think that the net loss of a few million dollars in market efficiency is such a terrible sin, especiall

The $100 billion they made from AliBaba gave them a lot of headroom to fail.

It's very easy to have selection bias. For example, your favorite restaurant might have been cheap when it was under the radar, but then they rose their prices by 30% after they went viral.

This narrative assumes that everyone is a mindless robot who believes everything that they're told. There is some degree of truth to this, but for the most part, prices are set by supply and demand. Egg prices rose because the avian fl

The one thing this is correct about is that continuing Bretton Woods past 1971 would lower the gap between economic productivity and wages... because both of them would have collapsed after the US depletes all its gold reserves.

You're wrong at just about every point. The Fed is autonomous but still part of the government. Congress can revoke this if they really wanted to, but they won't because even they know that they'll just use it for their polit

The minimum wage also applies to Puerto Rico, where the median household income is about 21K. That's less than a what a dual income household would bring in making minimum wage.

The problem is that people are giving and voting based on their feelings rather than trying to understand the impacts of these things. IMO, the reason why corporations win over the people is that they actually bother to do this due diligenc

In this context, the "pitching" would be done by government officials and charities, and the "investors" would be regular voters and donors.

Despite SBF, I still am a proponent of effective altruism overall. You just have to be obsessed performing your own due diligence because there isn't aren't any market forces that compel you to do so. For example, I think GiveWell

This sounds like a very weasely framing. Is RealPage putting a gun to landlord's heads? I find it much more likely that they're saying if you aren't listening to our recommendations, we can't guarantee that you'll b

I've never really found docs particularly useful. Usually, I just want a few simple examples to get the gist of how something works and docs tend to be very bad job of that. Meanwhile, the W3Schools SEO spam HN disdains tends to good j

This is a stretch. Youtube might have done something anticompetitive but I doubt allowing adblockers was one of them. My point is that people who were never intent on paying businesses for their services never cared about the sustainability
