That's a great question. They expanded it a bit on their "SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA AND OTHER DATA" section.

Their operating expenses are divided in 3: Research and development, Sales and marketing and General and administrative.

They also describe a bit the evolution of these under the Risk Section, beneath "We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing operating expenses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability."

I really like the point the uBlock maintainer's make:

"Extensions act on behalf of users, they add capabilities to a user agent, and deprecating the blocking ability of the webRequest API will essentially decrease the level of user agency in Chromium, to the benefit of web sites which obviously would be happy to have the last word in what resources their pages can fetch/execute/render."

There is a game in development that uses these ideas too, and is aptly called Manifold Garden:

It is a pretty neat trick. Kinda hard to Google for though. Here is the bash manual page on it: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Pipelines...

That's pretty much Ava DuVernay's argument on her documentary "The 13th": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V66F3WU2CKk

PS: It seems the original startup school video is gone. This version is linked by their page: https://www.startupschool.org/?course=1

And here is Jonathan Blow and Casey chatting on Handmade Con two years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpkrx1osuLc
Oh yeah, Jonathan Blow's coding videos show an amazing exercise of pragmatism: https://www.youtube.com/user/jblow888/videos
That's a great story! I found a book describing the story of Douglas Prasher in more detail: https://books.google.com/books?id=L2zDBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA18&lpg=P...

This is also told on his wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Prasher

On the bright side, it seems he returned to Scientific Research: In June 2010, Prasher was finally able to return to science, working for Streamline Automation in Huntsville until December 2011, and then from 2012 to 2015 in Tsien's lab at the University of California in San Diego
