But do we really need those C*O jobs and increased shareholder value? Probably keeping many of rocket science jobs could have been cheaper for taxpayers. But no one cares about that today, our children will be paying our debt, not us.
Exactly, just without the time limits. Also, make it work for all updates. Oh, and While they are at it, they should also remove the nasty auto update of office application when starting them, without giving any prior hint or notice.
Lawyers are expensive only if _you_ have to pay for them. In English law (UK/EU) loser pays most lawyer's fees. This also disincentivizes businesses to start unwinnable cases in order to ruin other businesses with legal fees.
It's kind of dividends but without approval from majority of shareholders and bondholders. Company draws down credit line, shareholders receive cash, lawyers receive their %. Shareholders still have same amount of shares, win-win for everyone.

It's more likely they are scared of their customers rather than Joe.
Because Joe is just a person who contacted with contagious clients and they will never contact him again. They've probably already sanitized their store.
But they will have to contact other clients who infected Joe and there is nothing they can do to avoid that.
9/11 is not a good example here. It allowed US to pass important PRISM-like PATRIOT acts without much opposition from US citizens, just in time for the rise of the Internet.
It also provided a great narrative to start Iraq war and forced them to accept USD for their oil, strengthening the economy.
So it clearly was in both government and (some) citizens interest for 9/11 to happen.
It's not easy to find any Coronavirus-related political narratives for China or any other country yet, because nothing has changed in China politics, but we will wait and see.
> Have you jumped into a large old codebase with no access to its previous authors or maintainers?
Written by juniors, who doesn't really understand their codebase and writing ugly hacks all over the code? With code regularly failing at critical moments?
And you are suggesting to hire a bunch of new juniors who would finally fix this mess? I would rather fire half of the developers and hire new seniors instead who will refactor the codebase.
Maybe because they started testing early? Their first cases were in January and they screened everyone in airports since then [0], they performed 639606 tests with 4731 positives. [1][2]
That makes it sound about as sealed shut on speaking out as the Chinese were in the early days, only without the mass quarantines that they wouldn't be able to hide as easily. Either way it doesn't paint a good picture.
Why do they call them investors? People who haven't even briefly read financial filings for the company they are going to buy? They are called speculators, not investors.
It does, but only to google domains and only in non-incognito mode. If you're still paranoid and clear your cookies after you close Chrome, you can add a commandline option to Chrome so that this UUID is randomized on each start of Chrome.
