micro_charm commented on 1Password to Add Telemetry   blog.1password.com/privac... · Posted by u/zan5hin

One anecdote as to why it has become clear telemetry is needed:

When prioritizing what we needed in order to launch 1Password 8 we did not prioritize an Apple Watch app. We rarely heard from customers about Apple Watch, and so the assumption was that very few people were using it. When we launched without it, it quickly became apparent that was a poor assumption. People came out of the woodwork to ask where our Apple Watch app went. If we'd had telemetry, we could've known that lots of people were using the Watch app, and just didn't have a reason to write to us about it.

This is a top class example of organizational blame shifting at it's extreme, manifesting as user hostile behavior.

Does any one have the data(or where to look for the data) on how many banks depositor's were reimbursed over and above the FDIC insured amount of 250k in the last 1-2 years of bank failures?

The article doesn't support the claims of how nostr is better than mastodon.

From my quick glance at the site, it looks like relays are the equivalent to servers in mastodon, given that it's unclear why relay owners can't also ban you (as they suggest mastodon servers can ban you), why you can't post to multiple mastodon servers simultaneously (similar to broadcasting to multiple relays in nostr) and so on.

Nonetheless it's good to see the broader adoption of "account creation as equivalent to public/private key creation" in social media services

Feel like this article was intentionally written to validate Cunningham law and to promote bikeshedding. It's an almost perfect trap for that

See also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchetti's_constant IMO there is a clear analogue for this with organizational size and the extent of your product offering, the further off from your core offering you extend the worse your entire offering becomes
