So the board thought he was being abusive (which may or may not be true) and was worried about their ability to hold him accountable. Due to this they then tried to remove him and realized that their worries were right: they don’t have the ability to hold him accountable.

Wonderful.

From what I’ve learned about Sam over the past year or so just from public discord he sounds like he’d be a great CEO of a company like Salesforce but the wrong kind of person to be running an organization like OpenAI.

Always wondered how granola types like this fund these expeditions. Are they privately funded by wealthy individuals or funded personally by working jobs in the off-season? Or family money?

Correct. The reason someone gets to CEO is usually because they’re incredibly polished and can convince anyone of anything.

My guess is that realpage has a very large share of the market.

I’m not sure why you would even distinguish religious home schoolers from non religious. Some quick googling shows that 90% of home school parents are religious which would back up my claim. I’m sorry you hate religious people?

The data has been posted elsewhere in this post but here is some more below [0]. Why do you assume religious homeschoolers would perform worse than non-religious homeschoolers? Thanks for downvote :)

[0] 78% of peer-reviewed studies on academic achievement show homeschool students perform statistically significantly better than those in institutional schools (Ray, 2017). Source and lots of other good tidbits: https://www.nheri.org/research-facts-on-homeschooling/#:~:te....)

Yes or many people here went to good or elite public schools and assume their school is what the average high school experience is like.

Citation needed.

I guarantee you (and the data backs this up) that the home schooled religious kids that are taught the earth is 6,000 years old and were spanked can run circles academically around the average public school kid.

> "Believe" is the important word there. Are these people removing children from school because they actually can do a better job, or because the TV told them a school somewhere had a litterbox for a furry student?

Does it matter why they pulled their kid out to homeschool if the outcome is better?

That’s a pretty wide range of outcomes but is it materially different than what happens to kids in average public schools? There are also factors like social class and resources that make judging outcomes pretty tough. Most people that homeschool kids due to religion aren’t going to be well off.

What’s your definition of “better fate”? You’ll be in a foreign country with no network/resources and when the global supply chain shuts down most people everywhere will starve.

Growth has dropped a lot from triple digits percent to mid double digits. We have years of VC cash at our current burn and we have about -200% EBITDA margins. Seems like we’ll need to cut a LOT of heads to find a path to breakeven if growth doesn’t pick back up in the next 6 months.
