- bilbyx parentStock price alone doesn't tell the full story. Pat Gelsinger was brought in to fix long-term structural issues at Intel - things like rebuilding its foundry competitiveness and securing leading-edge node capabilities. These aren't quick fixes and takes years to pay off. Yes, the TSMC discount issue hurt, but that also speaks to broader industry tensions and strategic missteps that predates Gelsinger. Letting him go before the turnaround had a chance to work seems shortsighted.
- I agree that the bean counters from McDonnell Douglas played a big role in Boeing's decline. but it's important to remember that the merger was a negotiated one, not a hostile takeover. Still, it's sad to see how many once-great engineering companies - like DEC, HP, SUN - have been brought down by poor leadership.
- I would trust a proven security research group's analysis and evidence of backdoors rather than CNN or WSJ that has a track record of lies and biases. They always cite government sources or experts without provided a single shred of evidence. I have read a lot of articles in relations to the so called "Chinese backdoor" and the "evidence" was either the equipment contains default root or admin passwords or the software has vulnerabilities. Last time I checked, most if not all vendors have default admin accounts and passwords so you can configure the device and change the initial password. Similarly I have not come across any network equipment software without security vulnerabilities. If you can refer me to an article with conclusive evidence please send me the link. This would be much appreciated.
- I've had more Microsoft Office 365 outages than Fastmail outages in the past 10+ years, and I'm sure Microsoft has a much deeper pocket than Fastmail.
Things break. More things will break in the future due to increased complexity, brittle network automation processes and poorly written code. You can mitigate failures to a certain extent, but you can't guarantee 100% uptime, even with a triple redundant system. Every business decision is a compromise among various constraints.
- Brian Berletic from The New Atlas had already supported the claim that the US administration wanting to destablise and destroy China using official US government documents as evidence many times over. The truth is out in the open for all to find. The question is, do you want to know the truth.
