Well, we had a lot of folks here at HN being mad at us for the shape of the cursor on our corporate site but we are still not out of business :)
Anyway, no, the report did not lead to a scramble. As a matter of fact, it was not even treated as critical because it was not “business down” and no event different than business down is worth introducing (even potentially) more problems that it is solving.
Nope. Not debatable. Not supposedly. Effective startups move faster … or they are not effective startups and they die. The fact that not all startups die literally shows that not all are creating more problems than they are solving.
Large orgs can be pretty nimble too if they are properly set up and have the right people btw
You are right! Respond and listen - absolutely! It will be just silly not to do that.
However, being able to implement it, having the infra to facilitate, and the internal quality of the deliverable not to incur more tech debt by being quick … this is just not as simple as size of company and work on plate.
We are not going to charge anything (will refund) if we cannot deliver an ordered new image that does not satisfy the minimum cloud cover requirements. There are options for selecting the threshold when tasking.
For existing/archive images the cloud cover is indicated in the image description. However, if the information is hard to see or not helpful, let us know, please.

2 - The govt operates with large orders via face-to-face b2b sales channels. This is quite different than distributing to a large number of b2c (smaller) customers. Any commission based sales model targeting large customers will struggle with the second model.
