- mkl95 6y agoI think someone at McDonalds may lose their job because of this.
- brokenmachine 6y agoOr... they could just modify the API a little and keep the guy who has learned something that didn't really cost them anything, and that a new hire is unlikely to know. But you are right, corporations do usually prefer to behave in a psychopathic manner.
- Nbox9 6y agoYou’re essentially asking what the chance that the author kills themselves in the near future. It would be poor taste to speculate on that.
- Wingman4l7 6y agoNo, I think they're referring to the part where Aaron was "made an example of" by an overzealous prosecutor.
- nsxwolf 6y agoWell they did throw in "RIP". Which can be used in a non-literal way, but considering the context here...
- chordalkeyboard 6y agoContext being that he was driven to suicide by overzealous prosecution.
- monksy 6y agoRight there! That's what I was suggesting. Overzealous prosecution that was so aggressive to someone that was scraping.
- eitland 6y agoThe RIP part might point at Aaron.
- monksy 6y agoIt is. It was also to point out that it wasn't to mean disrespect towards Aaron.
