Also, here is what Pavel Durov mentioned recently in interview to Tucker Carlson

> In the US you have a process that allows the government to actually force any engineer in any tech company to implement a backdoor and not tell anyone about it with using this process called the gag order.

It doesn't matter what anyone claims on the landing page. Assume if it's stored somewhere, it'll get leaked eventually and the transitioning/hosting government already has an access and decryption keys.

> The police collected bags of clothes the girl had saved as evidence, but lost them two days later. The family was sent £140 compensation for the clothes and advised to drop the case.

I saw variants of this phrase a lot, but I don't think it's accurate. I wouldn't be surprised if 0.55 would be close to a payment processing fee alone.

My very rough estimate is frappucino costs close to $5 to make. I used Starbucks located in Manhattan, New York to make it even more cliché.

- Ingredients & disposables: $1.03

- Direct labor (including shift supervisor): $1.30

- Occupancy (rent, insurance): $1.54

- Equipment depreciation: $0.14

- Utilities: $0.10

- Supplies, cleaning, waste: $0.10

- Management, marketing, investment: $0.60

- Card processing, other: $0.16

Total: $4.97

When surveying potential users I discovered that most are happy with the web gmail interface and don't really care. It sounds like a very niche requirement and it'll be very challenging to find enough customers (1k+) who would care about using a very nice email client.

The problem you're trying to solve is not that features get more prioritisation, but your estimations doesn't reflect the reality and your code-review process is broken as engineers are not spotting growing technical debt and refactoring opportunities and think that someone should give them a permission or create a ticket to work on that.

This is engineering culture 101 (look up the boyscout rule in software engineering).
