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.
That depends on the application. If we are talking safety critical human space flight SLS would be preferable over SpaceX.
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.
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.
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.
