It took me a while to figure it out, but a "Hiten Bomb" is a reference to the name of the founder of KISSMetrics, Hiten Shah. Oddly enough this website doesn't have a by-line to indicate who the author is.

This ruling applies to the US, not Australia.
Moreover, that's the pot calling the kettle black. That's the app store in a nutshell -- Apple supplies the marketplace, but is also making a substantial chunk of money off of others’ work.

> the actual size of the map is 161,600 km² (62,394 mi²). The game world features over 15,000 towns, cities, villages, and dungeons for the player's character to explore.
Was that scale part of the magic and fun back then? How varied were the various quests? Did it get repetitive, or was it fun to explore?

Curious, how’s it measured?
This is an interesting take. I prefer the opposite approach: choose the shortest possible registration window (1 year), and have a very clearly defined, properly-documented renewal process that multiple people at the company understand. It's unlikely that all of those people leave the company in a 1-year window, so the knowledge gets passed on reliably.
If a renewal happens only once every 10 years, then it seems very likely that the person responsible for it has moved on, knowledge around the process is lost, and at best the documentation is very out-of-date (but more likely it's missing).
My process is to have a shared calendar for these high-risk renewals. Top company officers should be on this calendar (CEO, CTO, and some engineering VPs). The calendar contains recurring events for domain and SSL cert renewals. These calendar events are set up for about 1-month before the actual renewal, and fire reminder emails at several intervals beforehand (in case people are away or on PTO).
It took Lexus ~15 years to develop "structural blue", a colorless paint that creates blue light using this structural interference. The making-of video[2] is pretty amazing, and definitely worth watching.
That’s much more profitable than Uber’s current business model.

I'd argue that very few computer applications need something that works like an ejector seat lever. In most software applications you have more than milliseconds or seconds to make decisions about big, dramatic (and potentially irreversible) changes, and thus they should have multiple levels of confirmation.

Apparently, there are a few small all-business carriers in operation [2].

$450 to most of the population is a meaningful amount that could help pay rent/mortgate, buy food, pay for daycare, etc. $450,000,000 to someone who already has $50,000,000 just means stepping up to a megayacht.
Perhaps a more apt analogy would be the following:
Would you be happy if you Product Manager at work got a bonus of 10,000 times your salary for managing a wildly successful and profitable project to completion when you and your coworkers did most of the grunt work?
One of the other things to consider is the windshield/windscreen phenomenon[0]:

> I used to have to wash my car all the time. It was always covered with insects.
I still think the news here is pretty frightening.

Presumably, they'll add Stride to that form eventually.
