Depends on what your metrics are. If they are for longevity and long-term business health, sure.

But I don't think that's how they're measuring success. They are maximizing shareholder value in the short term, and any medium to long-term problems will be concerns for another set of C-Suite vultures as the current ones will have already moved on, or retired with their golden parachutes.

I can almost assure you, it was not considered.

Nutanix is a mature platform, but more importantly, they're a mature vendor, which means support contracts with SLAs.

"Dumb rich kid crashes really expensive car. More at 11"

Who cares?

And perhaps my least favorite part, aside from him walking away relatively unscathed, was that this shitty article goes on to just use other YouTubers and influencers for reaction quotes.

It's like the they tried to directly convert a 90 second YT local news story, into an article.

Did no one read the article?

This was actual legally defined bribery of a state lawmaker and the accused executive is going on trial.

What the article doesn't address is whether the legislation this bribe was paid for, will be repealed or impacted.

FYI it was a bill to remove AT&T's obligations as a Carrier of Last Resort in Illinois.

It may be spontaneous.

It may be destructive.

But goddammit, it's collective action and I'm thrilled to fucking see it.

The issue wasn't athletes cheating individually. The issue was that Russia had a state sponsored doping program from top to bottom. That is significantly different than one off athletes, or one off coaches.

Completely abandoned their original hobbyist customer base and sent all their inventory to B2B sales channels and scalpers for several years.

And now that they're finally providing B2C vendors with stock, they've jacked up the prices by 100% to 300%.

Don't forget the Raspberry Pi foundation was supposed to be a nonprofit and the only reason they're the premier SBC is the community. Other boards have better specs, at a better price, with better features. The community support, the hobbyists, are the primary reason why they are what they are.

That's just one bad action, but their had been plenty others recently. Some other comments here have provided information you should read, such as hiring police officers who specialized in using Pi's for surveillance..

He killed the man who had molested him for years not as revenge, but because he HAD STARTED TO MOLEST HIS 6YR OLD NEPHEW.

He should have NEVER gone to prison, much less be deported.

Just remember not to try and impress a girl back on Ceres by trying to slingshot through the ring.

No one is pearl clutching over dead soldiers, but when you machine gun down several hundred music festival attendees (incl. foreign nationals), rape the women, parade their naked defiled corpses around so others can spit on them, and upload the video to share with everyone, you're going to get some international condemnation and re-evaluation of support.

He was shot 7 times. I'd bet this was personal, or that he was specifically targeted.

To be clear, I know nothing other than what I just read in the article, but someone had to really want him dead to shoot him seven times, and no one else i.e. not a mass shooting.
