Unless you actually plan on building as successful SaaS... then just, you know, use Salesforce. There are exceedingly few reasons a $100m SaaS company shouldn't just be running on SFDC.

Yeah, agree that generalizations like "rich people will hold out" don't really hold true when you zoom in on individual home sale scenarios. Yes, the uber wealthy may wait, but those with a W2 often move for a number of reasons related to job, family, health, economic, or other life circumstances that trump the prevailing wisdom of what they should be doing. And then there are those who aren't paying attention or don't care. People want what they want.

Most hospitals have just a handful of ECMO machines, if any. And most of them are talking about not providing ECMO to COViD-19 patients because of this.

One does not simply "use" Robinhood on a day like today. Or the last 3 large down days since Coronavirus. System-wide failures abound.

Expect your orders to not execute as intended and money to be lost.

wrong way to frame this

this is the reality of how businesses operate.

product pricing and labor aren’t that tightly correlated.

If you're the staff accountant, sure. You're technically correct.

If you're the CFO and I'm trying to convince you we need to spend $1M on user research instead of $100K, you can be sure this is taken into account when modeling monetization strategies to recoup R&D costs.

Yeah, exactly. "Inexcusable" seems a bit extreme.

Are you suggesting companies spend 10x on manual user research? Are you willing to pay more for a product because of increased costs to understand what users actually want?

Data on this is already out, as the FAA only gave planes with > 30000 cycles 7 days to inspect and 3 days to report findings after inspection.

810 planes were inspected; 38 of them have cracks (4.6%) and have been grounded until fixed. They are not airworthy. Only two of these were in the US.

The other 772 planes will have to undergo inspection after each additional 3500 cycles.
