A program that can block booting is definitely on the high side of software bug risk.
But even in that case, the post-drop stock was still trading higher than a year before and they got back to the same level in six months.
- hobs 1y agoAnd in most corporate mindsets that's six months of growth off the table, six months of fighting just to get back to normal - that's a huge real cost and a huge opportunity cost.
- Dylan16807 1y agoThere was still plenty of growth to today. I doubt the stock is much lower than it would have been if that event never happened. Mild real cost, mild opportunity cost.
