This one (https://web.archive.org/web/20231204210803/https://m.media-a...) shows hooks in what looks like a mudroom catching an image of a person in black clothing in a ski-mask, indicating a use case of the hook would be to surreptitiously record a thief.
On the archive, it is advertised as a "Hidden Clothes Hook Camera, Mini Spy Camera HD 1080P, Nanny Cam with Motion Detection, Wireless Security Camera for Home/Office/Pet Monitor, Video Recorder No WiFi Needed, No Audio" with no mention of it being a "bathroom spycam."
That cartoon has resonated over the years because it illustrates a point that complexifies the whole shareholder-value concept: you can recognize that a corporation's fiduciary duty is to its shareholders, but you still have a long term / short term thinking problem. If a corporation is just shoveling its profits at shareholders without consideration for the future, or, in the cartoon example, destroying the planet, is it really providing them the best value?
There is no universal definition of shareholder value, legally or otherwise. I'm a shareholder in many companies, and to me they should deliver me profits when it makes sense, take care of their employees, not harm the environment, not overspend, not cut corners on health or safety... it's a long list, really.
I also found it at the New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a16995
I am unsure of the original source.
I got several quotes through them (though decided to hold off on solar for the time being last fall).
>We sold a cheap van in the company name. I was 100% straightforward about this with Stripe. I would happily reverse the charge and reprocess it through our primary processor. The customer would also be willing. We have all the paperwork to prove the sale and a signed credit authorization. Stripe has asked us for 0 documents pertaining to the sale.
>On top of being out this money, we have to remit sales tax to the state for this sale. It's not a truckload of money but it's enough to make a small business owner throw his head in his hands
If we are taking him at face value that he sold a van, should we also take him at face value that he would be happy to reverse the transaction to his customer and that Stripe is holding his funds hostage and is impossible to get a resolution from?
You can't really imagine anything being completed and deployed in that time.
It was a death trap to begin with. They're experience should have flagged this.
But both are equally at fault. This is what happens when clients have the lowest bidder mentality.
"the cheapest price is always the best option because it's the cheapest."
Your conclusion is completely at odds with this quote from the article:
> WebAgency quoted the highest rate of anyone I interviewed, but their portfolio best matched the style I wanted.
