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.

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.

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".

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?

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]);

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.
