That's just plain false.

Any significant amount of Hydrogen gas is crazy dangerous to work with because it has such a wide explosive range.

Reading through the Saturn V manual (as you do), the design aspect that surprised me the most was just how much of the hardware was dedicated to hydrogen gas leak detection! It was everywhere. Even the skin of the thing was a two layer affair in places, deliberately designed with channels and helium pressurisation in a complicated way to flush even the tiniest leak through long channels to the nearest sensor.

It sounds crazy until you realise that even a pinhole leak would release gas that rises up and concentrates in spaces between bulkheads and tanks where it can rapidly reach an explosive mixture ratio.

Hydrogen is not safe at all.

So explain the never ending cases of batteries catching fire. This is actually a big scandal, shows that the NHTSA has an agenda and no credibility at all.

Having to compress it to 10,000psi to get a useful amount of energy, hydrogen embrittlement of steel, very wide upper and lower explosive limits, burns with a clear flame. I can't imagine hydrogen ever being used by consumers, it's just a complete liability.

Modern direct fuel injection systems today can compress fuel at almost 30,000psi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_rail), so 10,000psi is nothing. Hydrogen is much safer than batteries, this is a fact.

Clicking feedback is very bad, sometimes it's instantaneous, other times it takes a couple of seconds that makes me unsure whether I actually clicked. Product pages loads fast but any other page is a lottery if it's going to load fast or take 2 seconds. Maybe this is a Commerce.js issue.

Is there a way to test the administration pages?

Do you mind giving me an example of this in 2020? I do remember reading a lot about this in the last couple of years but it seems designers have been quickly to rectify it. Out of all the websites and apps I use commonly, I'm seeing less and less examples of this.

Try using the Facebook ads and Google Adwords interface for more than one week. Those are the worst interface I've ever seen. Slow and disfunctional, every click you get a spinner, I'm surprised it went to production, using that for more than a week is torture.

As if the spinners were not bad enough, now western web design created the animated grayed out text, which I particularly find an aberration.

Youtube interface is another example. You click on the "videos" tab and you get infinite scrolling without pagination. Killing pagination is a huge usability issue. Comments section with the "Load more" approach, another annoying feature, just load me all the comments in one go please.

Isn't this the classic pattern followed by almost all startups? Create a product that loses money and attracts users. Sustain it with VC money until you have a large number of users who are highly dependent on the product. Then switch to profitability, knowing you can do so because you've already hit critical mass and users aren't easily able to switch away.

You don't have to like it, but it is legal and it is how many of the most celebrated startups got to where they are today.

Owning slaves was also "legal" some point in time.

It's not about entitlement, it's not about wanting something for free as some other replies are trying to justify this kind of practice. It's about how offering something for free destroys genuine competition. Once the competition is destroyed, users will have no other option but to pay the price Google is asking. Users can't search for a better price or better service because there is no other competing business that can offer a better anything.
