I’ve been waiting for plain-paper Field Notes since before they even debuted in summer 2007.

This conclusion may be surprising — people notice a half second delay? — but we had a similar experience at Amazon.com. In A/B tests, we tried delaying the page in increments of 100 milliseconds and found that even very small delays would result in substantial and costly drops in revenue.

Not a new post, but still interesting.
