Even the statement, "RudderStack is contractually prohibited from selling or using it for its own purposes," implies that the "contract" is what prevents us from selling customer data. In reality, that's not our bus

That one was a security incident—data that had been legitimately collected by an analytics provider was exposed due to a breach. This one is about privacy — what data an app chooses to collect and which third parties it intentionally sends

Will do. Thanks

My concern is that terms like "data management company" (and another article described us as an "analytics company") are broad enough that many readers could reasonably infer we're collecting, storing, or monetizing

RudderStack founder here. Although the article doesn't accuse us of doing anything improper, we weren't contacted for comment, so I'd like to clarify our role. We are customer data infrastructure, not a data broker. We do not

Does Microsoft (under the OpenAI agreement) have access to the model code etc or just the output? If not, they would have to rebuild it. Not sure if its obvious that people would leave OpenAI in troves to join Microsoft just to be with Sam.

Seems like a good compromise? OpenAI continues to develop core AI offered over API. Microsoft builds the developer ecosystem around it -- that's Sam's expertise anyway. Microsoft has made a bunch of investment in the developer eco

Is it true? Lot of folks have left the OpenAI board recently (Musk, Hoffman etc). For various reasons but its not that everyone in SV is happy in the direction OpenAI was going. Plus giant competitors like Google, Facebook might step in to

Citation for this statement. >The FTC has been more active on anti-trust issues in the past two years than at any time in the past 30 FTC being more active in past two years over previous 30 is a strong statement.

Citation? FTC against Google doesn't produce much results on Google (kind of an irony :)) Have seen FTC going against Amazon because the FTC chair had published prior work against Amazon's practices. Not defending Amazon but FB&#x

What you are saying is true but wonder if that's how it should be? Marketing (via email, push, ad, whatever channel) should be an extension of their product experience and it can be owned by the product/engineering team. I have se

Decisions like whether it's ok to do business with Saudi, whether they were responsible for killing etc should be left to politicians. They should make the laws which businesses should follow.

Scenario planning on two VC reactions on Thus (3/9) 1) VC1 - SVB is perfectly safe . Don't worry and keep the money there. 2) VC2 - We are hearing rumors about SVB. You should play safe and move it to another bank. Here is a guy w

As far as I know, haven't seen any tweet/quote from Peter Theil asking for a bailout. Shouldn't the onus be on the article author to do more research on their primary target. Can't blame him for being friends with people
