Yes, performance can be objectively measured but different companies choose different metrics to optimize. The choice stems from subjective preferences. Hyundai optimizes for price and caters to the middle class, whereas Bugatti optimizes for speed and caters to whatever their market is. So subjectivity is inherent in the metrics we choose.

If UX was fully objectively measured, wouldn't Gitlab, Github, and Bitbucket all look and feel the same?

If you are looking for alternatives to Evernote, I'd also recommend Notion.so

I'm not affiliated with the company, just an avid user.

Third world countries don't have the liberty to make choices based on their perceived good-ness - they can't choose renewable energy sources based purely on the fact that they are better for the environment. They kinda sorta had to go down that road of fossil fuels because economics is crucial. I think that if there were a breakthrough that made renewables vastly cheaper than coal, India would be the first country to adopt the new tech.

So I see that alternative energy sources are talked about a lot when discussing climate change. Why isn't there just as much R&D and discussion going on about the other half of the equation - reversing climate change or reducing the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere or making megacities smog-free?
