seems a tad late. It could have made a killing if it launched a few months ago...

What did amazon do wrong here?

> I remember it being considered a problem for the seller if a potential customer does not like offered product.

That doesn't sound like making a informed tradeoff, that sounds like the adage of "The customer is always right", which is a very different approach to business.

I highly doubt any company making a statement by changing their app icon hasn't considered the impact and I'm sure is actively watching metrics like uninstall metrics. And I'm sure given they're making the change they found it an acceptable trade off.

So in short, I don't really understand what you're point was trying to make, unless you disagree with my premise that the companies made an informed decision to modify their app icon?

Communication here is key. If the process is described well and reasons explained, I believe it could work just fine.

So your saying everyone should be able to demand a custom app icon that fits their design preferences, presumably for free?

Which bug in dd?

Quantifying best is very difficult. Is it the best technically but market conditions makes it less appealing? Or is it the best fit for the market but it’s a nightmare to build and so they can’t pump enough of them out to be reasonable.

The products that launch end up being good enough in all areas but rarely/never the best in all areas.

It’s the sign of a healthy business IMHO

This quote says it all:

> In addition, our superiors did me a disservice — they asked me questions like the following: " Has productivity growth stagnated because of remote work?" Of course, I was saying yes.

The author took no responsibility in the situation.

> people that use KeePass are not memorizing 40 character passwords to unlock their password manager.

I use a pass phrase that is substantially longer then 40 characters. It doesn’t take too long to sink in.

It’s opt-in by the owner. If your ring settings, you have a toggle to allow law enforcement access to your recordings or not.

There needs to be an education campaign to inform what that toggle actually means.

Wouldn’t the TPM fit those requirements, presuming it could be sped up enough for the required workload
