No remotely modern reactor has melted down.
Just as you wouldn't factor Amelia Earhart's plane into 2022 air safety prognoses, you shouldn't use Chernobyl reactors for nuclear safety.
I love this reply. We can go even further. If we would approach air safety in such way as Nuclear, then de Havilland DH.106 Comet would be first and last commercial jet.
Nuclear fision reactors safety technology have moved further. There are challenges, but we havent even tried to solve them fully (as we were busy improving gas burning efficiency)
Interesting would be to see what was estimations to fix previous/improve solution, develop new one or buy Splunk.
This.
Also, when you have bespoke log solutions and engineers leave, you end up with unsupported solutions. This may be Twitters 4th logging solution IIRC. Plenty of people know splunk. Loglens, not so much.
+many. There are plenty good Enterprise software with bad rep. You can spend a lot of engineering talent to rebuild what is already solved or just buy boring tech. Splunk by definition is boring and with Twitter scale makes sense. Twitter is not too big, its decently sized.
>Americans pay $50 billion more per year than Europeans for similar cell phone service, which is about $14/month in pure profit for every single American
This doesn't really add up. T-mobile's net income is 3-4 billion a year on 80 billion on revenue. They're not generating monopoly profits.
IMHO I don't think you can really merge your way into a monopoly. The existence of multiple companies to merge is effective proof that whatever business they're in is not a natural monopoly.
Look at social media as an example. Facebook is the dominant player but in the course of their existence Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, and Snapchat have all become billion+ companies while another dozen or so have made it to 100+ million. Allowing them to buy Instagram and WhatsApp didn't prevent the rise of Tiktok or the continued existence of Snapchat. There's no natural monopoly here and probably should be little concern to anti-trust regulators.
Compare with phones. You have a stable Android/Apple duopoly but it didn't come from mergers. It's a natural monopoly business so naturally monopolies formed. Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft all trying to break into the market and failing miserably is also strong evidence. This should be a huge concern to anti-trust regulators.
Defining monopoly by marketshare is shallow. Best monopoly is when your customers switching costs are high. Thats why some of FAMG is with so good friends with Lawmakers. To provide political protection.
I am not from US, but what I see from my experience there is one huge problem with mergers (besides all other): too big to fail. If you become systematical player like big banks and if you intentionally or non-intentionally get in trouble. You will be bailed out, not go bankrupt. This turns on God mode for Corporations, this create intention become reckless. If big banks would not be bailled out in 2008. Most likely we would see at least some kind of fragmetation.

It's important to erase it so people don't know how racist their parents/grandparents were.
Did not get is it sarcasm or real thing. those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it

I don’t get why grown ups need to be threated as kids. I am doing same for little ones, but why for grownups. Times changes, what is or not ok changes. In that case maybe adding some context commentary would be fine for those who dont know history. But erasing it is not cool
