#2It's interesting that many tech/product blogs do not easily link back to the parent site.
For instance, I didn't know what RStudio was, so I have to go to the address bar and remove the blog portion of the subdomain and the trailing url just to find out what the parent site is, instead of a simple link.

Doh - I filed an issue on our internal tracker to fix this

#4I would have more faith in the concept of "public benefit corporations" if it meant that e.g. Kickerstarter was prevented by its charter from suppressing the self-organizing of its workers.

That really does annoy me, so often I'll be on blog or support site, and there is no way to get back to the main web page for the service/company.

#8@hadley Your response to the tidyverse question was quite candid. Thanks for that! Hopefully Rstudio becoming PBC helps a lot of skeptists to support more!

#9I wonder what this means.
I have benefited a lot from R, Rstudio.
But what impact does this have? Are there legal remedies now available to users if they feel Rstudio has strayed from the charter?
fwiw, I have the impression that the team there is quite civic minded, so this is really a question about the law, and not some sort of implication about their motivation.

It's in the side bar, at the bottom. I agree with the original comment. That's quite poor design. Unless I'm seriously interested, I don't waste time looking at sidebars, let alone the bottoms of them
