I rolled my eyes reading your comment and went to the site to validate that your gushing praise was over the top. Boy was I wrong! His work is incredible!

Too many photographers these days misuse/overuse the Bokeh effect and lose important visual information in their photos. They also use poor lightning and coloring, under the guise it is artistic when in fact it is a frustrating loss of the visual elements.

Kudos to Chris Payne and his amazing work.

You’re picking Boeing for their safety record? Why is that?

Caution went out the door.

How can that possibly be true?

I mean one is actually flying right now and one ain't

Wait, you mean the SLS that could not bring astronauts back from the International Space Station? It's nine months in and they are still up there.

You're confusing things. The mission you are referring to was flown using the Boeing Starliner capsule, launched atop a Atlas V N22 rocket. Not the SLS or Orion.

Oops, that's Starliner. Still...It would be perhaps better for Boeing to get out of rockets entirely and focus on fixing their commercial airline business.

BlackBerry had BBM on their legacy devices and it didn't stop the original iPhone from being a hit. BlackBerry released their BB10 devices in January 2013 with BBM that were very competitive, and objectively better than the iPhone at the time, and it did not stop the iPhone. Then BlackBerry released BBM on Android and iPhone allowing cross-platform communication with objectively the best messenger available at the time. It failed.

The success of the iPhone was built on the culture of iPhone-first app development and the unwillingness of companies to develop for a third platform.

Android was much more competitive with iPhone back then, as social circles hadn't yet solidified around one platform. Google was also still widely praised back then as an innovative leader. BB had lost enormous market share by 2012, it was too late.

All google had to do was make an iMessage clone, probably even could have made a better service back then, and make it the default on all android phones. Suddenly Google would have had a powerhouse feature for the main thing phones were used for in 2012: communication.

But instead Google decided to leave SMS default and instead toy around with their stupid a/b model that nobody ended up using anyway.

Cost. Get a quote for a few thousand users from each vendor. Bitwarden and LastPass will come in around $50k, where 1Password will quote you $75k and have no flexibility to be competitive on their pricing. LastPass will probably drop to $40k later in your decision process to entice you to pick them.

LastPass has known issues and IT departments can make an understandable recommendation to the business to pick Bitwarden even with a slight cost premium. There is nothing to justify the insane premium 1Password demands. I have seen them lose multiple contract opportunities because of this.

Note: The dollar quotes are made up numbers, but the percentage differential is real. 1Password is often 50% higher in total cost.

Surely 75k for a secure password manager is better than 50k for an insecure one. They’re failing at their core competency.

Because variable compensation is not going to be variable in practice. It's going to closely track to the stated minimum. For some executives the variability is in the split between their bonuses and shareholders in the form of increased EPS. Employees get the remaining portion, if any.
