Same in Norway.

We will have some Amish people driving around in petroleum cars, trying to preserve the old days and the old ways.


It won't be Amish, but there'll be for sure people cherishing the old days when cars were simple/fun/different.


I think it’s more about the absolutely stripped model vs the loaded one.

The basic services are more or less the same, but the hyperscalers provide hundreds of services where smaller providers have only ten.


Some of those services are utter crap though..

This is just my opinion, but there are some services that just package software as VM and let's you spawn it with a fancy button, leaving you with a largely unmanaged instance.

There are other services like S3, BigQuery or SQS that feels like magic.

Your quote is missing a crucial bit. The full quote is «we're not registered to do so, so we are on the wrong tracks».

You were supposed to take the last exit, to be on the local road instead of the highway. No, we cannot let you off on the highway. We are not allowed to stop here. There are no stops. We wait for another exit. Sorry.


Was that the situation?


My sympathies. And it’s sad to see you call it “what it is you did wrong”. Thus, also my apologies, for whenever I am on the wrong side of such interactions.


What’s with all the periods, one at the end of each paragraph? Fully wasted.


Is the full proposal available online?


Check the latest proxy statement for the AGM. This is where these votes are brought up in advance and then at the meeting they’re voting on, along with board seats.


Yes. Here is the proxy statement with the proposals: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000789019/0...

You have to scroll down a bit to page 83 to get to the one the article is referencing.


My message here is off-topic, probably a rule violation, but…

I love this. I love how the users of Hacker News provide deep, real insights on pretty much any topic. Thank you!


Maybe it's ease of development, and resulting readability?

I did enjoy the example code, compared to the native javascript (both shown in the article):

  var draw = SVG().addTo('#drawing')
    , rect = draw.rect(100, 100).fill('#f06')


why would the native JavaScript not be something like (probably errors here, so like, not necessarily this precisely)

const div = document.getElementById('drawing');

div.innerHTML = `<svg width="100%" height="100%"><rect width="100" height="100" fill="#f06"/></svg>`;

obviously if the what is going in can have user input in some way then open to attack using innerHTML but otherwise it seems like the structure of the example native JavaScript is made in such a way as to make the SVG.js version seem super cool in comparison.
